For example my cpu on classified take 239 on base clock with 1,55VTT with chiller, cpu temp is around 25°Celsius with real temp monitoring. Same cpu on bloodrage, without pciex 110, take 229 on base clock at 1,50Vtt more vtt on blood not give any difference why it not have fixed the pciex in bios option.
On Asus Gene my cpu give 231mhz on baseclock with pciex 110mhz and vtt 1,55V. On Asus my cpu lowering base clock why Asus maonboard have many problem to menage correctly the VTT line amplitude, this mainboard needs more vtt voltage respect DFI, classified and bloodrage at same frequency of base clock.
Third fact to limit the max.fsb is memory module you use, example with kingston 3x1 giga elpida hyper single side my cpu take max. 225mhz on bloodrage and with kingston t1 3x2Giga ever elpida hyper, but this model is double side chip, my cpu take 229mhz on baseclock with this. I supposed that this depend only on the Vref. Voltage set the minboard on imc memory controller of i7, because this module is more stable with lower Vdimm voltage respect the module 3x1, and vref change in base at Vdimm Voltage you apply in the bios.
Good testing guys.....:up:
