trial and error, but I can tell you that most people reach 230mhz before they have troubles.

ATI peopel have trouble starting from 230FSB

.

Nvidia people can go all the way up normally...

what's the difference?

Silicon sata = sata controller chip?
native sata = sata controller part of the chipset?

BIOS updates / MSI K8N Neo Platinum 1.13b

"the PCI/AGP lock only seems to work when AGP is set to 67Mhz instead of 66)

That's interesting. I'll try it out tonight. :grin:

The 1.13b is a fix for the 'only lock at 67mhz agp' bug? Or do I still need to set it to 67mhz with this bios? How high do you reach with your MSI?

- no idea , got this update from tweakers

Or do I still need to set it to 67mhz with this bios?
- I think you still need to set it

How high do you reach with your MSI?
- have not tried it yet, memory inside is PC3200 and I needed the PC up and running as fast as possible for the LANparty, haven't had time to "fool around" with it afterwards as I have a motherboard review and 2 heatsink roundups still to do.

lot's of unofficial MSI K8N Platinum bioses... maybe one of them will help us breach the sucky 230mhz barrier.

should get our hands on 1.35 according to this topic http://www.gskill.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=43

RichBa5tard · 14th October 2004, 12:30

I know, found the place when googling for the 1.35 bios.

I didn't find it anywhere though. : /
