Asus P4S8X-X 3.06

[MRiches1982]

Hi again all you OC experts!

Can any1 give me some advice on what they would do to a Asus P4S8X-X with a 3.06? It's got 512 DDR 333 ram ( does that mean the highest FSB that i can take it to is 166 x 23 with that ram? ).
It's also got a ATi 9700 radeon, what can i do to that?

What cooling should i use, i don't want to go over the top, just enough so i can OC a bit in the future.
At the minute i've got to exhaust fans at the back (one of which is a cooler master).

Also, the RAM, would better ram make a difference?

Any suggestions?


Thx

M8, we dont need all the different threads for OC related stuff, please keep it to the minimal amount ;) :cheers:

Most likely whats holding you from going over 166 is your RAM. what brand is it?

i'm not sure, cheap **** probably, how do you find out?

The ram is fine, you won't get that high anyway. IF you manage to get to 166 x 23 you will be asking 3818mhz out of your processor which you won't reach without chilled water or Prometia.
