Shuttle AK31 KT266A can overclock to 166fsb

[Drx]

In the review of kt266A and nForce 13 motherboards, THG may have miss-represented the Shuttle AK31 board. They stated that it maxed out at a 133 fsb, but I have one and mine goes up to 166. In fact, it seems to be a fairly stable overclocking board as its been running at 146fsb for a couple of weeks with no reboots.

Can anyone confirm if there are two revissions of the board or bios? I bought mine about a month ago when they first came out and I would think they would have reviewed a current one. Maybe not?

I think it's just a typo error. I've had mine a month, and it will run at 145 fsb, but sometimes won't boot up the first time. I have to reset it to get it to boot up at 145.

Not only that but the boards poor performance in the review must be due to the BIOS memory settings. Seems that you have to manually set them to get the best performance. I'll bet they just took the default SPD settings. Before manually setting the memory my SiSoft Sandra memory scores where in the 500's after manually adjusting them I now have 700+/ 900+ ! a very significant change.

I saw the same thing with the MSI k7T 266Pro2. It say max 133 fsb but i running it at 146. Maybe the boards/bios were beta
