Well it seems unfortunately that the top end for the FSB on my Asus K8N-E Deluxe board is about 236MHz, confirmed from an article. Coupled with my Sempron 3000's 9x multiplier, that puts me around 2.12 GHz.
I know that it can go much higher. The chip runs so ultra cool, around 30C with stock cooling.
But those two items are my limiter, the FSB and the multiplier. I am new to OC with this series, I did Socket A for a long time and am finally upgrading. I know with HT it is a little different, is there anything that I am missing? With these items as my limiting factors, is there anything else I can do to get a bit higher?
Or should I just give up on this motherboard and go another route? What is a strong 754 overclocking board that is not overly expensive and has the right stats to get my processor to 2.4 GHz (assuming the processor will take it)?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!!
BTW, I read the stickies...
