If I want to go to 400 FSB to get to 2800 what do I do with the RAM ? If I set it to DDR800 will it work OK ?
What about if I want to go to 430, how do I stop the RAM running out of spec ?
What does 1:1 actually look like in the BIOS ?
Thanks
Read the first part of the guide, then read the ASUS P5 section.
Set up the BIOS as described with the multiplier at 266 which is stock.
Set your memory timmings and VDIMM to what your memory supplier suggests, don't leave it on Auto.
Once you have done that, run ORTHOS for 8 hours plus to check stability.
Then, where the FSB says 267, select it and just enetr what you want, say 333.
As you have not set your memory to manual, it will auto adjust it to be 1:1, so with FSB at 333 your RAM will run at 667
The divider etc, is in teh JUmper Free Configuration area.
Just read the thread mate.
If you set the FSB to 400, it will set the ram to 800.
But again, read the thread and do as it says.
