i850

When you overclock the i850 chipset to 133mhz FSB, does it adjust the PCI and AGP dividers properly to keep those settings in spec?

If it does, I can start dreaming now. 400mhz FSB 2ghz Northwood overclocked to 133mhz FSB..........oh the joy.

The new chipsets for the P4's look promising.

As for as myself, I received the New 8KHA yesterday. Installed it and had it up, running after lunch. Ran Sandra's 2001te burn-in for about 24 hrs. Passed all the stress tests no failures.

This morning thought I would play arround with the multiplyer and fsb settings. I started out with the 1.2x200 going to fsb at 1.33, no problems, then I upped the fsb until I reached 10x140 still all OK. I have left it there for about 3-4 hrs and not a problem at all.

I will recommend this Epox product to anyone. The real world performance is what counts, but this mobo has exceeded my expectatons till now. I believe the 1.2 will go faster, but as of now I have not adjusted any voltages anywhere. The voltages are set at DEFAULT. Great mobo, I have been very biosed towards AMD 760 chipset products, but this VIA setup is an exceptional step forward from the rest of the pack in VIA stuff.

Wow, I meant over 12hrs on the burn-in not "24", Guess I should go back to sleep for awhile. Sorry.

Ummmm........

I'm asking if the i850 has 1/4 PCI dividers and a 1/2 AGP divider.

Heh..

Anyhow, isn't the current chipset the i850? They might change the settings on the northwood chipset. Even though I don't know if they integrated the 1/4 feature, I know northwood is suposed to support 533mhz fsb theoreticle, 133mhz quad-pumped, meaning it SHOULD have it. Just like when 133mhz showed up and were already supported by current 100mhz motherboards.

i850 will be the launch chipset for the northwood core as well. The TH7II is based on the i850 for example.
