I still can't get my motherboard to see PATA drives on the primary and secondary bus, but last night I figured I would at least do a few tweaks to see how this thing would OC.......
Figured I would start with the utility included by ASUS, the AIBooster.
After only a few minutes of experiementing with it, I set it to "30% overclock", restarted the system and checked it out.
3646.26!!!!!
It was stable, I don't have a lot of programs loaded to stress it right now (don't want to load everything just to have to redo it while I am troubleshooting this bus problem) but put a light load on it.
FSB was at 260.5 (so 1042 FSB), the memory was at 196mhz though, 4:3....voltage was only 1.27.
There's something wrong (besides the ******ed design) with the stock HSF, it idles at 55c at stock settings, but it only went up 6 degrees at this OC....idleing at 61c
Hot for an idle I know, but since it's a stock HSF and I plan to replace it after I get the HDs worked out, I'm more interested in the percentage increase than the actual tempeture.
Am I missing something?
Is this utility THAT good? I know that memory should be higher, but still........
And yes, I did check it with CPU-Z....and it confirmed the AIBooster's readings were accurate.
