A7N8X-VM400 and DDR3200 ???
I have an A7N8X-VM/400 and Corsair 2x512 Dual DDR3200 CL2, and with an
external AGP card (Leadtek GF4 Ti4200) it should be possible to run 400MHz on the RAM, but it don't ... It only runs DDR2700 (DDR333). How do I make it run 3200 ??? Bios version are 1001 ... Bo Andersen Denmark Treid Bios version 1002.002, no luck. AIDA 3.93 even claims my AGP slot is available (empty) ??? Found out that SBA is disabled for the OS ... ??? |

Methinks they have had so much trouble getting DDR400 working in these boards that they have dropped the support. Lucky you're not using the onboard graphics as DDR400 mem running as DDR333 on mine is causing crashes playing video with DirectX enabled, soak test with Memtest86 shows clean. Google groups shows many in the same boat. -- fred |

It's all in the bios. If you want your ram to run at 400 then flash bios for A7N8X-VM but then your CPU fsb will run at 333 not 400. I guess their reasoning is that if you buy this board you're not going to use an AGP card (see A7N8X-VM specs). Nice of them to make that decision for you just because you have a mATX case. ASUS could easily provide a bios update that would support 400 bus for CPU and memory, hopefully they will." I don't think that idea is particularly useful, as it would still need clockgen, if the A7N8X-VM BIOS refuses to set a FSB400 processor to FSB400. In any case, before flashing a "foreign" BIOS like this, invest in a BIOS Savior (ioss.com.tw , roughly $25) before trying such a flashing experiment. Instead, just stick with clockgen for now. Have fun (and be careful), Paul |

ClockGen can't adjust Ram timing seperately, and FSB is grayed out, DARN ..
But thanks anyhow ... |
