FSB Strap To NorthBridge?

[Virdi]

Hi all,

I'm testing out an Asus P5K

What is this setting please? What should I set it to?

Thanks

Leave it on auto and set the ram to run at it's correct speed from the drop down list under Dram Speed. That's what i always do on my P5E.

FSB Strap does two important things:

• Offers different memory dividers
• Changes the latency of the Northbridge (tRD)

I'm finding the overclocked computer is running loads faster after manually setting the FSB strap to 200 and selecting the 2:1 divider, you will need pretty fast memory to select the latter.

If you select the lower FSB straps (200/266) while running a very high FSB you may need to give the northbridge some extra juice (vNB) to keep everything stable
