10X200fsb with stock voltage? wtf

[Digital-EX]

I have my cpu tested at different settings. I actually get worse performance with 10X200 than with 12X166 fsb. Why is that? I got my highest 3dmark score with 15X147fsb. I though higher fsb make 3mark perform better? this is all with stock voltage. WHy does my processor not like voltage? I add voltage and it locks. I dont add voltage and I can oc at will? Help me OPP , MR Icree, Sys? what is going on?

Your ram is rated at 150FSB. Running at much higher speeds will most likely generate errors, which may not catch your eye, but do lower performance a lot. If you use XMS 3200 or high quality PC2700, you should be able to run 200FSB (if your mobo can handle it).

I don't know why your proc runs worse with higher vcore. I could say overheating, but since you seem to have a decent H²O rig... i dunno. You don't have to up vcore as long as your absolute speed is the same (every XP2400+ should be able to do 10*200 on 1.65 vcore).

Hope this helps.

I found out why. It forgot to set cpu/fsb ratio to 1:1. I can only do that with good PC3200 ram. Well I do know that my processor will do 11X200 for a 2200mhz stable but ram wont go that high yet. I cant wait to buy another stick of ram to do 1:1 ratio. As for my voltage I suppose my chip hates it. I can boot at 11X200 with stock voltage. Never heard of a chip hating voltage cause I can set to default speeds of 15X133 and run voltage to 1.8 and it locks. anything over 1.7 it hates. It cant be temps im cool as hell.
