and also the 1.65Vmch is not needed for 450fsb and 333 strap....too high..
Yep - FSB vtt is way too high. Intel states absolute max is 1.45v (so does anandtech).
you can go up to 1.55 with sub-zero cooling..
I think it's the chip. I've tried just about everything....
Why is my core at 1603 and not 2.53GHZ :confused:
C1E -- disable it.
Hmm try disabling TM.
That is an indication that C1E or EIST or something like that is enabled. Pull your CMOS battery and clear the Cmos, then try disabling them again.
I have recently purchased this mobo i am trying to decide wich type of ram to get for it.
Should i just get pc6400 800MHz or pc8500 1066Mhz?
I recommend looking for some GSkill DDR2-800 HZ. That is what I am using and it OCs like mad so it will do both DDR2-800 with at least 4-4-4-12 timings and it will do DDR2-1100+ with 5-5-5-15 timings on this board. NewEgg still sells it but I am not sure if it is still D9GMH which is the IC of choice. But you can find it on fleabay and on different sites for sale and you can ask if the ICs are D9GMH. There is a GSkill link here on the forum where you can ask if the latest modules are still D9GMH.
Technically any D9GMH module will work very well covering a broad range of OC settings (DDR2-667 to DDR2-1200+). I just have a warm fuzzy for the GSkills.
