Dropped multiplier down to 7 and raised FSB. And remember this is with Conroe, not Allendale.

nice board sierra, try'd multi 8 too? the lower the multi the higher the fsb.
so when you getting 465 on multi 7 you can't reach that on nine, even with good cooling on the cpu
don't ask me why but notished that here too, i think chipset gonna be stressed more then.
I think 8 & 9 multi's gave me same FSB results when I tested earlier. Will test again tonight when it gets cooler.
I decided, screw the hot weather :D , and ran tests at 8x. Surprisingly maximum FSB is almost as good as 7x.

Dual-SP2004 stability with FSB over 450 (455X8). I know 30 minutes won't satisfy some people. But you can't please everyone. ;) Ignore the CPU speed in the SP2004 GUI. That's what I booted up at. I changed multiplier and FSB while in Windows. AiBooster reads correct FSB and CPU speeds.
Just my personal observation. The system feels rock solid, even with FSB at 450+. Of course, your mileage may vary.

running nice sierra
i think you got one of the best board's i've seen, with a mod this baby would fly
nice temps too for dual prime, 48 degrees @ your'e place is nice.
now pop on the mod and go for the 500+ :D
Thanks Rol-Co. :) Sometimes luck has a way of changing. My first Conroe board was a Bad Axe. It did well until it mysteriously died. Then a friend sent me a P5W DH from Asia and it died due to pin damage in the socket. Not sure how that happened. At that point I was ready to renounce life and join a monastery. lol. Then I got this board along with the E6600 and life has been good. :D
hi sierra,
up to that frequency you succeed in holding the rams 1:1?
I have felt to say that this board doesn't climb very with ram in synchro..
it's the same in your experiens?
thank you and congrats for the nice result ;)
lol, these chips aren't even widely available and you've already got history with them.Quote:

5-5-5 timings did not really help me. By adjusting secondary timings a little more, I might be able to go higher on FSB.
Do you think you could have a 24/7 rig at 4/4.1 with descent watercooling Sierra? I plan on having a similar rig :bows:
4-4.1GHz is going to be very hard 24/7 with an E6600. 3.9GHz is possible though. You need both a good chip and a good board. I lucked out this time. I haven't even touched the NB yet. Improved cooling there might yield another 5-6MHz on FSB.
whats the highest dual prime stable (or at least dual 32m stable) u can go??
Guess 3.8 or so will be the sweet spot for me unless I get lucky. Thanks for the quick reply!
BTW- Which boards allow you to turn off one core aka cooler managed to do such and got a hefty oc off it. Hopefully a bios update will allow such on your board.
I've run dual-SP2004 at 3.85GHz. Seemed fine except temps were extremely high. I'm not too concerned about Prime because this is primarily a benching/fun rig, not a 24/7 system. Most of the people who start threads in the Xtreme Overclocking section do not run Prime. ;)Quote:

i think you got a killer board here :banana:
maybe its a spinning in my head , but i think when you build the fsb easely on the board its gonna be higher at the end.
my first board was in and in 5 min i had to know what max fsb was, look what it got me 400fb max
second one i build up with little steps and running s-pi/pifast all the time between.
maybe i'm wrong about this but it doesn't hurt if you do ......isn't it?
Yes, I agree with you. Yonah & AOpen board were also like that. Gradually raising FSB often gave the best overclock. Sometimes being too greedy will lead to disappointment.
I thought the E6600 multiplier was locked but your results say`s that the multiplier is locked up ? :) ( so you can go lower than 9 but not highter .... ? )Quote:

Ahhhh, well, 9 x 450 = 4050, that`s my goal, I don`t need others. 8 x 500 sounds great, but then again, that`s almost twice the normal speed and I don`t think it`s good for the mch and more important, I don`t like vmods ...
edit : afcourse you can phase change the chipset of the asus P5W DH deluxe :slobber:

So nice to see these high clocks on air. Gives me much hope.

" Note: In order for a Core 2 DUO (Conroe) processor to work with the Asus P5W DH Deluxe mainboard you may require to perform a BIOS update which will require an older processor or contacting Asus for a new BIOS chip. OcUK does not provide a BIOS flashing service and will not accept used product back unwanted as this board does support Conroe with Asus latest BIOS "
Somebody know if this is true ?
