Looks good!
Is that Orthos stable?

Theres more in there ,it takes time!

Try setting your TRC to 23 -24 ,This seems to work pretty good letting the memory clock lil higher and more stability @ and Above 3.3Ghz.:up:

Note : up your Voltage jus a lil more and youll see 3.4ghz, REMEBER TO KEEP IT COOL!

Example :266x13=3.48ghz @1.58-1.6v-core 5xHt, DDR6400 using 667mem divider with TRC24 and 4-4-4-8 timing =864mhz, All under a ThermalRight 120Extream! Mobo was M2N32Deluxe and the CrossHair is even better.

Managed to crank mine up to 3400 this morning. Need to ORTHOS test it tonight. Im having a spot of trouble adjusting to AM2/DDR2 though. Played for so long oc'ing my opty 165 :<

Thanks for the example stats though gOtVoltage :)

Hmm wierd, I did not have any problems at all getting to 3.3ghz.. but yea (not jacking your tread) but my 3dmark06 score is really low as you can see in my signature. is it my 8600gt? is that just about right?

Iam playing CS source and my fps is about 120-140...

Its the 8600GT , or how your setting your 3d Nvconrol panel.

Please make a POST IN VIDEO CARD section , ill be happy to give you Nvcontrol settings for better posible score . this is AMD Chip section not Videocards

Thank You.

Was playing around last night with settings. I swear I almost burned my chip out a few times. Had to crank voltage right up to 1.62V in order to get PC to boot at 269x13. Couldnt ORTHOS it though, temp went above 70deg so I stopped n dropped it back down.

Quite happy at the mo at 250x12 for the extra bandwidth. 9.3GB/s at 5-5-5-15:2T.

Ill probably go for a mini OC to 3.3 or something.
