How far will my ASUS A7N266-VM go

[coolmhz]

For the people that have not seen what I have dun go here (http://forums.overclockers.co.nz/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3037)

System spes
Asus A7N266-VM (jumper mod for O/C )
XP1800 (NOT UNLOCKED)
Asus GF4 8420

I did a jumper mod so I could unlock the clocking features in the BIOS.

I did a 3D Marks 2k1 test at 150 FSB and got 11888, then I jumped up to 152 and got 12118…..big jump for an increase of 2 FSB :D

Still in beta stage :)

What do u think???

[crux]

Is that the ti4200 which has the ti4600 pcb?
If so I think 13k is a safebet if you're using the 40 series drivers.
I don't know if unlocking will help. Depends on the stepping of you cpu.

The video is a ASUS V8420D /64MB/TV/DVI not the Deluxe 128MB :(
there is no room for the Deluxe to fit in the case :(

lol... i just got this mobo for my HTPC. Had no intention of overclocking it (cause I thought it was a bad oc'er)... but I might have to reconsider now :)

I bought one of tose for a friend, got his duron 750 running at 1g by doing the l7 bridges and sticking it to 133.. whats this jumper mod you speak of?
*gos googleing*

I think unlocking that XP is your next mission if you choose to accept it..... Especially since the nvidia mobo's keep the PCI bus @ 33MHz - no matter how high you set the FSB.

[mird-OC]

reckon... it's quite possible to top 170MHz FSB on that board with the right RAM... if you can manage a vmem mod you could even get as high as 200MHz FSB...

For the jumper mod all you have to do is to unsolder a jumper and move it and resolder it :)
but you need the 1001 bios in for it to work :cool:
here is a pic

btw is ddr ram backwards compatible?

Holly cow. :)
I use this board soley as a Seti cruncher. OC'ing it would be a nice benefit.

You say only version 1001 bios works? Rats mine is 1004. Any link to the 1001 version? :)

my 1004 works ok too, doesn't seem to unlock mlti tho

[_N_]

what is the jumper mod exactly, I don't quite follow it?

[Oldguy]

Oldguy wipes strange substance from face.....ok I'm a moron.....but the oldest Bios I saw at Asus was 1003.

Hold my hand and tell me where......and don't mind the undies. LOL

[coolmhz]

Ok _N_ the blue line in the picture below is were the junmper used to be
and here is were you can find the 1001 (ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/socka/nforce220/a7n266-vm/101nvm.zip) bios

[_N_]

the things is, what does it do when you change the jumpers, does it allow you to OC, whereas you weren't before? that seems a bit strange to me, cause ASUS has always been oc friendly,

I can see this:
"unlock the clocking features in the BIOS"

so you weren't able to oc before? I haven't seen this board before, so it's interesting to know these things, :)

Thanks Coolmhz!
