Hi.
I have:
Abit NF7-S (v2.0)
xp1700 tbred (1.6v, good clocker)
2x256mb sammy pc2700.
This RAM has been to 200fsb in a friends computer, however i put my computer to 10x200fsb (as my friend suggested.) and it doesnt boot, at 190 it boots, but after doing something, not even that intense for the RAM it gets BSOD, and says physical dump of memory. At 180 it happens as well. This is at both 2.7v, and 2.8v (memory) and 1.7v (CPU.) The divider is 3:3
Is there anything i can do to get this RAM runnning at 200fsb?
Thanks
Will

TBH 200/400FSB is overkill really, perf gains over 166/333FSB aren't that significant and I doubt there would any perf loss in using 190/380FSB vs 200/400FSB at all. So if you can't hit 200/400FSB don't sweat it, you are asking a lot of PC2700 even if it manages it in another mobo ... the nForce2 may simply use it in a faster or more efficient way. Anyway certainly check RAM timings (higher should enable a higher mhz speed) and there are a few other options to 'slow' your RAM down so you can run a faster amount of mhz.
If the CPU is kept at the same speed FSB is better certainly, it's just many people get carried away ... Durons don't need 400FSB for example, the Athlons up to XP2000+ hardly benefit at all from 333FSB and are almost as fast at 266FSB. So FSB is better so long as it doesn't hinder stability and CPU speed stays the same. However if you found you could run a faster CPU with a slightly lower FSB (eg 380FSB vs 400FSB) then that would generally be the better move, esp if the FSB is already mroe than is needed for practically optimal perf.
1.8v is high enough, more than ... esp for TbredB and Barton which use much lower vcores by default. Be careful as uppin ghtr evoltage seriously increases temps, stress and increases the chance long term damage (inc killing the CPU).
