    Yeh i know mate, just like 3d mark im a little competitive. I hope i can get that chip up to 200fsb though will really make my day .
    Only chose the asus as ive dealt with them before, also i only want 200fsb out of my system. Plus a passive heatsink rather than another fan which will add to the sound.

    Only time you had problems is when it's down tot he mobo. Many early nForce2 had problems using 400FSB in conjunction with Barton (TbredB were fine), most likely fixed by mobo revisions if not simple BIOS updates though. Ultra400 and std 400 are obviously fine at 400FSB but it is the original nForce2 (plain) which may have problems. All nForce2 with IGP seem to lack 400FSB ability, even with the IGP disabled. Finally 333FSB stuff like KT400 and SiS746FX aren't going to do 400FSB. So basically A7N8X Deluxe should have no problem running that CPU at 400FSB, you may not even need to lower the multiplier.

    Well i know a few mates of mine with the same setup, but with earlier steppings and went straight to 3200+ (200fsb) without making the voltage higher or playing with the multiplyer.
