A few thoughts: 1. which revision is your Corsair Ram? Usually it's in the top left corner, it should read something like "XMS3202v1.2" or similar. Or as alternative: does it have Winbond BH-5 chips? Note that these do not post at CL3, only CL2 and CL2.5. 2. If i read that correctly, your Modu 82+ …

Apparently, some rev. 2 boards still used older Nforce 2 SPP, which is not certified for 200 Mhz. I've yet to see any A7N8X v2 with the old NF2 SPP. You can easily tell the "new" A1 and "old" A2 revisions apart, because the old NF2 had round metal plate on the chip while the new one is fully …

I cannot' find a bios rev v2.0 for the A7N8X-E Deluxe. On their website there are no bios with rev. indication I bought a A7N8X-E Deluxe and it is rev. 1.01, the only one that exists I think or? You're looking for these boards: A7N8X Deluxe v2.x and A7N8X-E Deluxe v1.x. There's no -E Deluxe v2.x. …

If you intend to replace the caps on A7N8X, you can go for either Kemet A750 4V 2200uF or Nichicon PLG 4V 2700uF right next to the cpu socket (5 caps), these are exposed to vcore (<2V). The three caps next to the AGP socket can be replaced with either Panasonic FR 6.3V 3300uF (10x25mm) or Kemet A750 …

If the caps are bad, then the board won't become stable. If you try to overclock the fsb without L12 mod, it won't be stable. And (speciality of the A7N8X) if the system was unstable, sometimes even a reboot won't fix it. The system may even hang at underclocked fsb speeds... Easy solution is to …

Just a few thoughts regarding the issues in this thread: 1. If you want to run FSB200 or above, make sure to buy a v2.0 board or an -E Deluxe. The old A7N8X v1.x only got the old NF2 (non-Ultra 400) chipset. Asus released some bios versions which should allow for 200Mhz for the old boards though. 2. …

Just to add another board: Tyan Tiger MP (not MPX) S2460 feeds both cpus off 5V, that's the reason it only supports 1900+ CPUs but no higher clocking ones. The other Tyan Dual boards use 12V VRM. Again 12V rail modding is possible here. Remove coils, replace caps with 12V tolerant ones and add a 12V …

I got a bit of general advice for Award bios modding. For AwardMedallion v6.0PG bios files (for ex. Asus A7N8X) i use ModBin v2.01.02 and cbrom v1.98 in CMD of a WinXP VM. That works well. AWDBEdit does also run on W10 x64, so i use it there. 1. If you use AWDBEdit, never save a bios file with it. …

Hi everyone, i'd like to share my little journey in getting a SIL3512 PCI card to work on my dual S.462 machine. Let's start with the initial setup: Tyan Tiger MP S2460 (12V rail modded + full poly recap) 2x Athlon XP-m 2600+ FKT4C Geforce 6800gt 3x1gb Samsung ZCCC @ 133Mhz 2-2-2-6 WD 500gb 2,5" …

So you're saying the a7n8x is a good overclocker. Then my cpu must be a dud, my athlon xp 3000+ will not overclock at all, even just trying to raise the multiplier from 13.0 to 13.5 results in many software crashes By default the Asus is not a good clocker. I've made numerous mods to get that far. …

I‘ve never checked if the atx connector gets warm. However the board handles 260mhz fsb and a 2.7ghz barton just fine on aircooling. Asus decided to feed basically everything from the 5v rail, chipset, ram and cpu. So after the mod the only things running on 12v are the cpu, the fans and the agp …

I can just say that my Asus A7N8X Deluxe v2.0 (nforce2 ultra 400) does not have the atx12v connector, so that one is quite likely 5v-centric. I use an old Enermax PSU with strong 5V rail Greetings, new user here. I happen to overclock that exact board and can provide more info. You are indeed right …
