no, you see, I got the memory down to 400mhzQuote:

I mean 400mhz, like all DDR1 modules.
and other memory speed wont boot!
And about the chipset cooling, I just cant get the tow things you suggested.
here are my options:
1
2
ןits in hebrew but the names are english...
Ive been using EVEREST to monitor my temps, and then Ive noticed that the CPU isnt warming up after all this OC, only by a degree or two.
so Ive installed the DFI siftware, Smart Guardian, and look what happned:

(the black thing is EVEREST)
now, what soft should I trust?
Smart Guardian, it was supplied with the board and has the sensors mapped correctly :)
If you want an accurate core temp reading get the one with that name (you love to touch): Coretemp.
Well I did it...
375 FSB (that means 3Ghz) and 560Mhz memory speed on stock cooling and voltage
is it good?
For the Infinity thats about as good as it gets at this point in time, I just ordered a DS3 to tinker with my 6400, when my 6600 gets in hopefully there will be a bios to fix the limited fsb on my Infinity board.
So even if Ill get a better cooling it wont help?Quote:

You wont get anything better until a new BIOS comes out. But better cooling never hurts.
At 4:3 to be using your memory at 800, you would need a FSB at 533, which you wont get, no chance, maybe not even with the new bios.
Hopefully with the new bios you will be able to do FSB400 1:1 for the 800 memory.
The divider equation:
(FSB/1st Divider #)*2nd divider #*2 = Memory clock
Which is why you are getting 375 and 560 @ 4:3: (375/4)*3*2=562.5
I put together this chart for showing the dividers:
Remember you need to choose a BIOS value higher than the one marked for each FSB and divider. I think there is typically some play in the numbers, they may vary by a couple of percentage points for each board.
The red outlined is the highest I have seen for BIOS 7/31.
nice chart, wish you would have used actuall mem speeds though.
Please let me know what to fix and I will immediately, I don't want to confuse people more than they already are.Quote:

thanks for your work!
Oh yeah, I was considering putting BOTH on there and labeling them as such but I did not want to clutter it up.Quote:

Well got my setup running tonight. I was going to wait to OC but I decided to give it a shot. I can't get it to run over 320 Mhz no matter what I do. I obviously tried 4:3 first, and tried to clock it at various places between 325 and 375, all failed. Then I tried a bunch of other stuff, no go.
I didn't try too much dealing with vcore, I was a little confused with the two settings there, one was the offset (default + that value, which in the manual was listed as vcore) and then there was this VTT, which I left at 1.20 (its max option was only 1.35), so I wasn't too sure if I needed to change the VTT one as well, so I didn't. Plus if Blaze can get 375 at stock I should be able to get 325 at stock.
It is running stable at 320 with the 2:3(800) divider right now. Temps (according to core temp) are decently high 63/59 @ idle, 67/67 under load.
I will be needing a NB fan though, I popped the sink off and swapped the stock crap with AS5 already but it is pretty hot to the touch. Bios says its about 50 C.
