Hey dudes-
So I whent through my SECOND Gigabyte K8N trition in a matter for 4 months with no overclocking at all.
It all started awhile back when my FPS in all my games when down the pooper. I mean, a 7800GT, X2 3800+ only running 30FPS tops on UT2004, come on. Some of you may remember me posting about it and wondering what could of caused it. I tried various video drivers, re formatted my hard drive a couple times, and even tried a buddy's a video card in place of mine, and still no luck.
So I deiced it was time to move on. The store I whent to didn't have any DFI's in. So I decided to try a differnent mobo myself. I bought the ASUS A8N-SLi Deluxe. I'm quite please with it. I like how spread out the DIMM slots are. And how far apart the PCI x16 slots are also.
Anyway, i'm happy to say that i'm running UT2004 never under 110FPS, its very nice.
Anyway, I OC'd the X2 3800+ to 2.55GHZ. But the multiplier is locked at 10x. I tried reading through that thread about the X2 3800 OC's but I could find anyone that got any higher then that.
I tried 2.58 but it wasn't stable for some reason.
Anyone with the same mobo and cpu or a similar machine run anything around 2.55GHZ or higher?
