FSB questions
I am planning to buy a MSI MEGA 180 barebone which it says on the official web site that it supports up to 333mhz FSB However, there is an overclock function which I could potentially increase the FBS to 200mhz (400mhz). But there is no settings for increasing voltage. My question is that, I am planning to buy a Athlon XP 3200+ with 1G of DDR PC3200 RAM. They both run at 400mhz FBS. Would they run stably on the system given that, they are both running at 400mhz? Is it considered to be overclocking the motherboard and what effect would it be? Would I have a performance gain by buying these? Thank you very much for your help Kevin

To do this you will need to buy the top "recommended" spec processor, which will be something that runs at 333 FSB. Then yes, you will be overclocking to 400Mhz. That is if the board will let you overclock them that far. There is potential that you will not be able to do this and run stably. There is no way to really know for sure until you try. As far as increasing voltage, basically this just means that since you cannot do it, if you get an overclock that is unstable, you cannot just increase voltage to try and componsate. You will have to lower your overclock. If you buy a processor that is higher cpec than what the board supports, it "should" just clock it down to what it can handle. Same with the ram, so basically you will just be buying stuff that is far better and not getting 100% out of it.

Hi all,
I think there is a misunderstanding about my description, let me clarify of what I said. I am saying that, my motherboard needed to be overclocked to be run at 400mhz fsb, because officially, it only supports up to 333mhz, but not 400mhz fsb, however, there is an option to push it to 400mhz although it's not official for some reason. Secondly, I am buying the CPU and RAM which runs at 400mhz by default, yep, they are faster then what the motherboard *Officially* supports, my question is that, would the CPU and RAM runs at it's full potential if I overclock the motherboard... Also, is there any side effect of that?

Not, because I like the case, I know I deserve the pain if I insist I
want that case, however, if anyone can help to clarify this, it will still be very much appreciated.

Have a search on google and you know what MSI MEGA 180 is about...

>I think you haven't seen it yet... Why?>Have a search on google and you know what MSI MEGA 180 is about... Shouldn't you be providing the specs of the system you're asking about? If you had you might've gotten a better answer. Don't make others go out and hunt down the info you already know. For example, the motherboard make, model, chipset. Yes the CPU and ram will run at FULL potential. IF you can get it to
overclock that high. Just because the option is there, doesn't GUARANTEE that it will overclock to that. Also since you don't have the option of increasing voltage, that adds an even greater chance for failure, since one of the things you can do to help correct an unstable overclock can be to up voltage. <sorchu***@hotmail.com> wrote in message Show quoteHide quote news:1108563966.684485.239670@c13g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > Hi all, > > I think there is a misunderstanding about my description, let me > clarify of what I said. > > I am saying that, my motherboard needed to be overclocked to be run at > 400mhz fsb, because officially, it only supports up to 333mhz, but not > 400mhz fsb, however, there is an option to push it to 400mhz although > it's not official for some reason. > > Secondly, I am buying the CPU and RAM which runs at 400mhz by default, > yep, they are faster then what the motherboard *Officially* supports, > my question is that, would the CPU and RAM runs at it's full potential > if I overclock the motherboard...
