Just set up a new system with an asus a7n8x deluxe (2.0) and have my fsb running @166 but see no option in the bios to set the pci divider. I know some boards automatically set the divider but I would like to verify the speed I am running at just to be sure. Sandra used to display this info, but I just installed Sandra 2004 and no pci/agp speeds are listed. Anyone know of any programs that show these? Thanks in advance....
I asked this question also and have read about it, evidently the Nforce 2 MB`s come with the pci locked and I belive you lock the agp by setting it on 66mhz in bio`s. As far as sandra, it must have left out a lot of things for the Nforce 2 MB`s because it won`t even list the memory timings either.
All NF2 boards are locked.:)
As stated above the PCI bus frequency is locked at 33 MHz on Nforce2 MBs. If you want to check it PC wizard 2003 will measure it.
The AGP frequency can be adjusted however, but does not affect the PCI bus speed- nor does the memory or CPU frequency.
Thanks for the replies....I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure. I'm used to my Abit KX-7 and Epox 8K5A2+ both of which have bios settings for the divider ratio instead of a lock. Somehow I missed the AGP clock setting in the A7N8X bios, but all is well now. Thanks again!
