| 722980 | 2008-11-25 22:34:00 | My motherboard (Asus Striker ll extreme) is rated at 2000 fsb speed. But I cant get my computer to run at more than 1333. Question: Does the CPU (QX9650) require the 1333 speed? If so, will any CPU run with a 2000 fsb? Question: Is there any way to make XP recognise 4 gigs of ram? |

| 722981 | 2008-11-25 22:41:00 | Your motherboard's 2000 FSB rating means it can handle as its name implies, up to 2000MHz FSB. The only way your CPU can get to the 2000 threshold is if you overclock it. However that would result in an insane overclock and your CPU is unlikely to ever get close to the 2000MHz FSB threshold of the motherboard without the aid of some serious cooling. And unless the XP is 64-bit, it won't recognise a full 4GB. |

| 722983 | 2008-11-26 00:29:00 | when it comes to overclocking, it is best to do it in small increments. I think new CPUs shut down or run at a reduced speed automatically when they get too hot. Changing the core voltage when you don't know what you're doing is a certain way to kill the CPU though. I just up the fsb, i dont change the voltage. |

Hi, just thought I'd let you know, that is the worst way to OC a CPU, why?, because with vCPU set to 'Auto', the board tends to over exaggerate the required voltage and can spike voltage due to vDroop (where BIOS vCPU shows as higher then CPU-Z vCPU). |

| 722985 | 2008-11-26 01:37:00 | So it looks like Asus made a good 2000 fsb motherboard and now it is up to someone to make a cpu to suit. I wonder why I bought the m/b in the first place:help: |

| 722986 | 2008-11-26 02:09:00 | You bought it because it was the one with the most bells and whistles. If you want to OC, then that board is useful, having a lot of overhead is nice, and there's no such thing as too much. If you don't want to OC, then I'd say it's a waste. I think the 2000 figure equals a quad pumped 500FSB, if that makes any sense. So if you wanted to have a really low multiplier then you may utilise that. Only if you're really pushing though. I could also just be making stuff up. |

Yes, did you notice its the NV chipset too, which means if you have a quad core in there, you wont be clocking anywhere near 500FSB.....You need and Intel chipset for that or a Dual core CPU as the NV chipset run hot and struggle to get Quads passed 400FSB.... |

I'll have to check what it is when I get home. |
