Simple question, I have an AMD 3500+ on an ASUS A8N SLI-Deluxe mobo. I have 2 512mb sticks of ddr 434mhz. Everytime I try to set the ram to 434mhz it changes the cpu multipliers and fsb. Im running the latest bios, I was under the influence that u could OC the ram seperate from the cpu? I know this is a very common board now, so I wonder if someone could help me with changing the right settings.

Re: AMD 3500+ and PC3500
Somewhere in the BIOS the should be an option to change the RAM to "FSB" ration. Right now, it is at 1:1, so they will be identical. You can set it to to something else to get the RAM speed above the "FSB." -
Re: AMD 3500+ and PC3500
Well theres an option to change the pci clock from (Auto,33.33mhz,To CPU). Is this what I need to change?Comment

Re: AMD 3500+ and PC3500
No. The PCI clock has nothing to do with it. You need to find the RAM:"FSB" divider. I'm sure it's there somewhere, I just have no idea where. If you can't find it, do a Google search or something on that particular motherboard.Comment

Re: AMD 3500+ and PC3500
OK I got it all figured out. I was use to the agp divider, but 64's dont use that they have a HT divider n such. But anyway I raised the FSB to 217 and dropped the multiplier down from 11 to 10.5 giving me 434mhz ram speed and a small OC on the cpu 2212mhz up to 2279mhz and the HT bus from 1010mhz to 1085mhz. I ran 3dmark05 and pcmark04 and my scores got better. Thx for the help.Comment
