Yeah 275 1t is fast for this board, but what I would really like to see is 1GB at those speeds, which I believe is impossible atm...
Gocchin: I cant remember if I asked this on another post or not, but could you take a reading of your chipset voltage with a multimeter?
Also, is that bench done with everything on the motherboard disabled? Including the network controllers?
I'll take a reading when I get back. Everything was enabled except the marvell network controller....
I always undeclock the cpu first to take it out of the equation... I actually benched after that at 11x272 1:1 same timings at 1T... I'll experiment more tonight as I've only had the setup for two days....Quote:

Why do you have a triple phase change? :slobber:Quote:

Isnt that actually an underclock? :confused:
whis a newer bios will resolve this 240fsb wall :|
there is no such thing as a 240fsb wall, i can go up to 320fsb at 2T or up to 268 1TQuote:

Same here, even with the first bios revision i could do 310 2T easily but i removed the HSF as soon as i got the board, i recommend it alot!
Orig3n, what kind of HSF did you use? What about a chipset overvolt?
I've seen a mod to do this, I was wondering if it could be done by bios modding.
I don't know much about the performance of the stock cooler of this mobo, but its whining is quite unpleasant....
The chipset voltage was standard, im not sure how you would go about increasing it on this board :confused: All i did was remove the chipset HSF and fit the rubber mat which was followed by a nice application of ceramique :toast:
really? So I'll try a bit of silver 5... I couldn't believe they used a simple rubber mat...
the mat is an insulator around the core, but they stuffed up and its shifted to the left and sits up on the core screwing up thermal contact with the HSF.
I am now stable at 340HTT 2X :( or 330HTT 3X my chipset revision is A3 :banana:
I don't know if it is my board or TCCD ram but i cannot get 1T past 250!!!!
268 1t with 1gb or 512mb? I highly doubt you can get 268 1t with 1gb of tccd...Quote:

Is that because of the ram or the board? or a combination of the 2?Quote:

In response to orig3n, definately something with the board.
Thats good, i am using 4400C25 which was reviewed at anandtech and it did 300 1T :)Quote:

You got a screenshot of that????? And memtest is all fun and games but can you load windows and then actually do stuff?Quote:

Also, out of curiosity what CPU are you using? (people claiming over 240 1t are usually running a FX proc, although I have yet to see a 1gb 245+ 1t screenie)
I have got the 4200EL Platinum which is the 440 TCCD from OCZ's highest speedbin, so there is something amiss if you can get 268 1t and I can only do 2401t
Questions about your "1t" speed:
What BIOS version
What is your Chipset Voltage
What is your VDIMM (measure with a Multimeter not fomr within the BIOS, cause for me when I set BIOS to 3.0v it actually runs at 3.18v)
