Hey there:
With the help of this forum as well as many others. I have successfully o/c my system from a XP 2500+ to a XP 3200+.
With a ASUS A7N8X mobo and COSAIR XMS PC3200 256 DDRAM x 2.
The board is version 2.0 and came with BIOS version 1.005. I update to 1.004 on purpose because I have read plenty of forum and all agreed that the 1.004 BIOS is the most stable for O/C.
Funniest thing happen when I tried to o/c the cpu from FSB first by lowering MULTIPLER to x10 and raise FSB by a bit at a time...
No go?! It boots up as "safe/protected mode" in the BIOS and see the CPU as a XP1100?!
So I decided... this is it. I jack up the FSB to 200mhz and MULTIPLIER to x11.
Bam! XP 3200+ shows up as the BIOS POST.
Weird but it worked.
I have the SLK-800U heat sink with VANTEC 84cfm fan. The cpu did not go over 40c at any given moment.
Currently got the best o/c combo for my EVGA's FX 5200 128DDR.
GPU= 310 mhz
DDR= 445 mhz
Any higher will cause the 3DMARK 2001SE benchmark to "tear". Guess this will do for now.
Thank you once again.
