How to Asus Commando

[Christian Ney]

I wanted to spend some time with an Asus Commando today, well I bought those boards so I want to clock them

 

I chose to not be cpu limited nor memory limited so I used an E8400 (can do 540FSB+ afaik) and OCz Reaper (630MHz+).

 

 

I tried the whole day to clock this board, no way... can boot 380FSB into windows 7. But not 400 no 401 no 450 no 500 even if under windows I can move to 460FSB with setFSB.

 

As on the BIOS there is not so much settings, I tried a buch of settings combinations. Still no way to boot above 380MHz FSB.

 

Is there some Magic settings like ''Enable pll overvolt for Sandy Bridge'' that I missed ?

-.-

Was cause of the OCZ Reaper 2048MB

 

I just put a Kingston HyperX 1024MB and it's working now

Careful with the Commando, it was very memory-dependent and disliking.

Especially with the Corsair D9GMH kits

thx for the info

 

OCZ Reaper: up to 399FSB

Kingston HyperX: up to 499FSB

Corsair Dominator GT: up to 499FSB

GSkill HZ: dunno

Good luck with that board. I'm surprised 499 is as good as it gets.

 

Figure out who has that board who has high fsb and see what kind of memory they have and try to snag some of that.

My Reapers are the same with the Commando but I can get 620fsb with Ballistix
