Overclocking

In order to find out the overclocking potential of the Albatron PX925XE Pro-R, we put a Dangerden TDX waterblock on our CPU and set the multiplier to 14x using EIST. We also had to disable C1E via SysTool, because the BIOS does not offer such a function.

Maximum stable frequencies we could reach were in the 290-295 MHz FSB range. This is most probably caused by the passive cooling of the Chipset, which reached over 90°C during testing. If you are looking into some serious overclocking, you should consider replacing the chipset cooler with an active fan cooler.

Settings for reaching that overclock were: Multi: 14x, Memory: 1:1, VCore: 1.5875, VDDR +0.3V, Northbridge +0.3V.

A 45% overclock is not exactly bad for a board, which does not claim to be a top overclocking board. If you leave the multi at its default of 15x, you can still go from 3000 MHz to 4350 MHz. The lack of a memory divider smaller than 1:1 might become an issue, if you are running on cheap DDR2 memory which does not overclock well.
