Best Bios tweaks for the Asus A7N8X Deluxe w/ AMD 2600+ CPU??
Just got this setup running the other day and now I'm begining to tweak the over clocking settings in the bios...
there are a thousand different combinations in there!
Here's my setup:
AMD XP 2600+
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
Serial ATA RAID IDE
512MB Dual Channel DDR400
GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB DDR AGP 8x
(by tomorrow I'll have 2 80GB Serial ATA HD's in RAID0)
But now I have only one 40GB IDE drive for boot.
I've tried a few different tweaks in the bios... and I have the CPU running at 2.14Ghz at the moment... w/ the memory clock at 202Mhz...
In 3dmark01SE, under system info the CPU says:
Manufacturer: AMD
Family: ThoroughBred
Internal Clock: 2.14 GHz
Internal Clock Maximum: 3 GHz
External Clock: 171 MHz
Socket Designation: Socket A
Type: <unknown>
Upgrade: ZIF Socket
Capabilities: MMX, CMov, RDTSC, 3DNow!, Extended 3DNow!, SSE
Version: AMD Athlon(tm) XP
CPUID: 0x00000681
Now does that Internal Clock Max mean I can run my CPU @ 3Ghz?! I plan on getting a ThermalTake 7+ fan (just bought one for my 1.2Ghz AMD and it keeps temps below 128F on the lowest fan setting, below 120F on the highest so I'm happy w/ that)
Does anyone have any info on what tweaks are the best for the performance? I dont mind overclocking b/c I'll be getting the badass Thermaltake 7+ fan... so heat wont be an issue...
Any Ideas?
thanks,
-Electro
