OC A7N8X-E

[Hugh]

I have the A7N8X-E M/B and Sempron 2500+. It runns @ 166FSB * 10.5 to get
1750Mhz. I tried to rasie the FSB to 200 but it craps out and freezes. My
memory is 2x512MB DDR400 PC3200 to makge 1GB of ram. Iwant to OC this to
200FSB.
What are the bios settings I have to change to beable to do this. Voltage
and memory settings, etc etc.
Anyone who knows this board please reply.

Why on earth would you want to over clock a slow fsb up a measly 33mhz ???
You think you will really see the difference? You will just cause stress to
an old MB and decrease the life span.... Goto newegg.com n buy your self a
AMD64 with 1600mhz fsb, then you will see a difference.

Get a freeware program called CPU-Z, run it with your sempron at 1750mhz.
Go to the SPD tab, it'll tell you the memory timings that should run your
memory at 200Mhz.

At 200Mhz fsb your CPU will be 2100Mhz which should be fine for the Sempron
core.

You can raise the mempry voltage to 2.8 if need be with no ill effects.
Raising the core voltage by .1 should be safe with the stock heatsink and .2
if you have a decsent heatsink.

For lots of info on your board goto the forums at www.nforcershq.com ,
they'll help you there.

P.S. For the other fool who thinks rasing your FSB to 200mhz is dumb your
wrong, its a 20% speed increase for both the CPU and memory bandwidth, very
noticable.
