p5b ratio

s0ck · 28 Dec 2006 at 02:09

Can you ratio the p5b @ 450/500 FSB? The ratio options only seem to offer higher asynch ratio's which is a problem when you've only got DDR800

Am I missing something here somewhere...

965 chipset does 1:1 and you can clock the ram higher then the fsb if you want but not the other way round.

975 lets you 5:4 I think

680i/650i and rd600 let you set them totally seperately

Their might be some cheap brand chipsets that also do that, not sure

...and there's the single down side to the p5b.
Thanks

AMEN !

thats what ive painfuly discovered.

this ones gettign sold ! and i promised my girlfriend that i had researched it to the full, and was sure its a keeper, and would want to get rid of it within a week of buying it :O

is this a 965 limitation, or is it 'BIOSable' ?

PC6400 = 400mhz (DDR800)? Overclock it perhaps? And it does have 1:1 ratio.

Its chipset limitation because all the 965 boards have it...

overclock the mem!!!

My memory is topping out @ 460FSB ish (2.1v, about 3.7GHz I think). This chip is an absolute monster.
I told myself I wasn't going to clock it but wow...
