Can Soltek SL-75FRN2-RL run a 400 FSB?

[loic2003]

Hi, I have the SL-75FRN2-RL board which isn't the ultra 400 version. I think I read some place that if the BIOS is flashed that it could run a 400 FSB; I'm planning on putting an XP3200 Barton 400FSB into it. Is this possible?

many thanks.

Try it out and see, no guarantees though.

Mine does, get WCPUID and check the chipset version. If it says C1, it is the ultra 400 version nforce 2 chipset.

it says A2, does this mean that it's not going to do it? I don't want to buy the chip & memory unless I know it'll work...

cheers for the help!

You have the original SL-75FRN-L if it's an A2 chipset. I had one and was able to run it at the full 211fsb available in the bios version I used :beer: You just need a bios version that allows vdd chipset voltage adjustment. The CPGeek 1.3 bios is the one I used, I just set the vdd voltage to 1.8v and added a passive cooler to the southbridge and viola' 422DDR dual channel synch mode was possible. BTW, AMDMB.com and nForcersHQ.com have excellent Soltek forums so have a look

Wow!, Thats great news. I bought this motherboard for its upgrade potential. I am currently runnig an XP 1600 at XP 1800+ speed. Just looked at wcpuid and shows chiipset C1. I can still get a lot out of this board yet.

My SL-75FRN-L is running at 200FSB right now in dual channel with 2x512MB GeiL Golden Dragon PC3200 and a mobile Barton.

CPU-Z reports the chipset as: nForce2 Ultra 400. I thought the SL-75FRN-L and the SL-75FRN-RL were the same except for the missing RAID on the SL-75FRN-L?
