8knxp how fast can mainboard go before it gets to hot

Any way to tell how fast or you can push this baby. I have the it 3.4
gig and it appears to be rock solid. CPU with non stoick fan keeps it
at 37 to 54 deg C.

My concern is the mainbpard controller chip, it has a fan on it but
since I can not monitor the heat on that chip I am not sure if I am
going to hurt something else.

Any ideas.

Humm, where are the gurus?

How did you O/C? AFAIK the only way is to increase the FSB speed, or
am I wrong as usual? When I tried raising mine from 200 to 220 it froze
and I had to remove the cmos battery to recover. I have a 2.4 gig cpu,
2 x 512 PC3200. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Then you should work up from 200 & not take such large leaps.
First try 205 , then maybe 210 , I was able to up mine to 215 with no
trouble while 216 would give me random reboots.

You might want to get a better memory , it gives you more head room.
I'm using 1 gig of twin pair of 512k PC3500 Kinston Extreme blk
2.8C running @ 3.02 no voltage tweaks or aftermarket heatsinks.


BTW: the Easy tune doesn't work for S***!
use the Bios screen.

while i dont have this board, i found that on my VAX7-A, easytune was much
easier, and more stable that fiddling with the bios.

I have been able to run my XP2100+ at 160Mhz with no problems whatsoever....
it looks as though my milage has varied.

just thought i would share....

The thing that stumps me is that I keep reading about 2.4 P4s being pushed up
easily
to over 3 Gigs. I'd like a clue as to how that is accomplished! Mine locks up
at
somewhere between 215 and 220 fsb (220x12 = 2.64G) as near as I can tell...and
it's
necessary to remove the CMOS battery to clear the problem.

Either the highly rated GA 8KNXP is not a big seller, which means that there are
precious few gurus in here...Timothy being a notable exception...or it's a deep
dark
secret. Just my 2 cents worth.

This board so far has been kind to me for overclocking. I have
overclocked my 2.8 FSB 800 to 3.45. I have read alot in numerous pages
to understand the relation of clock to mhz, over voltage of cpu, ram,
and agp bus etc... I am not a good writer so I will leave that up for
you to research and read so you under stand it. BUT my settings are as
follows.

Boot into bios.

hit CTRL-F1 to enable advanced settings

Turn off auto settings on cpu clock speed and ram clock speed

Set CPU clock speed to 246
set RAM clock speed to 336
set overvoltage on ram to +.03 be careful "use good ram not cheap
crap"
set overvlltage on CPU to +.05 mroe than what it was at on AUTO "get a
good heatsink or you just made a boat anchor"

Intall Spark 7 Heatsink and compound. DO NOT DO THIS WITH THE STOCK
FAN, IT SUCKS AND WILL CAUSE A SILICON MELT DOWN.

I also over clocked my AGP port but I am at work do not recall the
settings there. Make sure you card has a fan and heatsink, a sink
alone is not enough.

After the above settings and the addition of an awesome copper
heatsince and fan my idle cpu deg is 37 deg C. Taxed when rendering in
Photoshop or Playing MS Flightsim with every possible option 56 to 57
deg C.

I waas able to overclock my 2.8 to 3.0 with stock fan and heat sink
and was "acceptable" but I was too uncomfortable with a stock fan and
heat sink.

Overclocking is done at your own risk, If you do not understand it do
not do it. Go buy a CPU that rate that you want it at. I or no one
else assumes any responsiblilty for damagge to you or you system.


Signed,

Overclock and Happy, but wish someone would tell me what this board
will handle speed wise so I do not fry the board due to heat.

Brett, Sorry can't help with your question. Are you running MBM5 to
measure temp?
I am very interested in your OC. Would you mind listing your system
specs [RAM, HD, Video etc.]? I noticed the BIOS says SATA does not like
OC timings and I have SATA.

MBM 5 CPU temp reads lower than the BIOS CPU temp, 36 vs 43 C, and since
the MBM5 voltages are whacky, I don't think I'd trust the MBM temps too much either.
