I will stay at air cooling only. I use a 80mm Delta fan to cool the CPU at OC settings.

My NF7-s was the same, have to use a modded bios to go higher. I use Digitalbath's ED55 bios. It can be found here. https://biosbude.de/%21%20BIOS%20VAULT/Abit/N … .0/digitalbath/

Feel free to ask if you need information to the added settings.

Will try the ED55 BIOS + these, although again I may possibly still have a locked chip in both ways (as absurd as that sounds). The 0331 one does go lower but not higher while the one I got 234FSB on won't go in either directions.

Ok, I have some BH-5, BH-6, TCCD and Crucial PC3200 (2-2-2) and PC4000 (3-4-4-8). If I want to jump on this with one of my NF2s, which kit would save me the most time in extracting best performance?

Those chips got a good review (https://www.legitreviews.com/corsair-xms-3200 … google_vignette). I just bought some to join the competition.

Parts so far. Tried not to spend too much.

Abit NF7-S 2.0 - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/287219383029
XP-M 2800+ AXMJ2800FHQ4C (with IQYHA) - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/188378574659

I already have a Gainward 7600GT to use.

Yeah, tried a XP-M too but that one hits a wall too, probably due to being a 2400 of all things.

Nice TCCD sticks!

Depends on the board imho. If your board is able to push the Vdimm voltage to 3V or more, I would use the BH5/6 dimms (+a fan to cool the chips). You're able to push the clocks with the lowest RAM timings (2-2-2-5).
If not, I would prefer the TCCD sticks. With a good bin you should be able to use 2-3-3-6 or 2,5-3-3-7 timings. Crucial RAM should also do a fine job. Good Ballisix (5B-G chips) are able to clock 250Mhz /2,5-2-2-9 /2,8-2,9v.
