Hi.
I have been trying to overclock my system (see sig) a bit more. It wont run at 200fsb. THis could be down to the RAM (pc2700.) but i recently noticed that the nb cant have any more volts throught it than 1.7v. This is the default.
If i could put this to 1.8 would it allow me to get higher fsb, or not?
Will

Absolutely. PC2700 is not designed to run at 400mhz but only at 333mhz, with slow (high) timings and a lot of luck you may get 400mhz out of it (esp with extra RAM voltage). The NF7-S v2.0 is based on the 'Ultra 400' nVidia nForce2 chipset and is designed for 400FSB with many doing 450FSB+ where RAM and CPU aren't limiting them. The original nForce2 only officially had 333FSB with 400FSB being a possibility. They used 1.5v for the chipset voltage and could often hit 400FSB, most 'Ultra 400' use 1.6v and that should be plenty for 400FSB+. You should consider that cooling and CPU aren't limiting your o/c because it's pretty certain it's your PC2700 RAM.
