Right now I'm running @ 300fsb (3.6Ghz) running bios 13
So now my limit isn't the fsb but now when I try say 3.7ghz it boots into windows but everything is DAMN slow so I reboot and back it off.
I know its not the cpu because right now I'm running @ default voltage @ 3.6ghz and I tried bumping it up past 1.60V and same thing.
So that narrows it down to ethor the chipset limiting me(which I doubt) or the memory.I'm pretty damn sure its the memory because this board only gives you up to 2.8V.
Still don't quite understand it though because @ 300fsb, 3:2 divider, 2.8V, timings 2, 5, 2, 2 it runs great...getting 5.9k sisoft sandra memory benchmark.
Its strange though because when I up it to just below 3.7ghz I get the same kinda problems and you would think loosning the timings up would fix the problem but it dosn't.
Any ideas?
