Hi I've just finished upgrading my PC and now have an AMD3200 CPU and OCZ 1GB (2x512MB) PC3200 Dual Channel Platinum Series DDR CAS 2 The big problem is that I cannot get the PC to boot with FSB set to 200Mz. Is there any obvious reason why this setup won't work? Any help much appreciated. Dave >> Stay informed about: A7N8X Rev2 & AMD3200 fsb problems

Do you have the latest BIOS?...I am running an asus A7n8x-deluxe,Barton
2500@ 200x11 (XP3200),and 768 OCZ PC3200EL ram...check your CPU core
voltage..I am running my 2500 at 1.70 volts...you should be fully capable as
I am.

also I am running the UBER Bios mods..1007...but I could run at the 200FSB before that even. >> Stay informed about: A7N8X Rev2 & AMD3200 fsb problems

Turned PC off and reset to Default Settings and then tried again with your settings. Then got Speech Post Reporter telling me "System fail memory test" and wouldn't boot at all. PC got stuck and wouldn't reboot - took out RAM modules. Cleared CMOS and put back my old Crucial PC2700 RAM with fsb at 166. So is the expensive OCZ RAM at fault or is it my mobo?

Well, could be either. Try 180MHz FSB with RAM in synch - see if that works, then try 190, then 185 or 195... you get the idea. DDR voltage should be ok at 2.7V, I'm under the impression that OCZ like to run their modules pretty close to the edge, which means lots of voltage - so check with them what the DDR Reference voltage should be.

To many, I'm known as a String... I just purchased some Crusial 3200. I'm running the A7N 8X delux ATI 9700 pro Everything else nothing special. When I put the 512 two chips, in.My system booted to 100mhz I went to the Bios and upped it to 200 now it's running solid. It is now a 3200+ Can anyone explain why yours won't work and mine does with no changes other than the 200mhz? I'm just interested in knowing that's all.

get memtest86 and test the memory..I RMA'd one module back last month. When I had it in I could only achieve 175mhz...with the new one am at 200. Run it..if any errors show either return your RAM to the store or contact OCZ...also try one module at a time at 200FSB. OCZ is real good about RMAs...if you contact them explain to them the problem and that if any errors showed it was by memtest. http://www.memtest.org/ >> Stay informed about: A7N8X Rev2 & AMD3200 fsb problems
