I'm at 2.2GHz on a7n8x-dx, had it up to 210 FSB but it wasn't stable, didn't mess with the timings enough, gonna try 2447 and see what happens, I had bumped vcore and the ddr votage already.

I say screw the new heatsink and get some nice 3200 Corsair LL Ram. You can then overclock the cpu to 3200+ 2.2GHz 400FSB and maintain it with no heat issues. None here anyways, mind you I'm on an asus a7n8x-dx

I saw this posted in another thread as well..the mobos for p4s also cost more. Other than the price of AMD's, I like the performance for that price. Other than that, I couldn't care less, If p4s came down to compete with AMD I'd use both.

TIA for the tips!
