Just what are you considering high? I'm stuck at 240 (3675) with my 630 which is very low to me so would the vfsb help me? I have the vdroop with a 1.6k and vagp at 1.88V done. I'm starting to think it might be my chip but I'll try any mods I can. The next one I'm considering is the vfsb or should I not bother and wait for a better chip?Quote:
AGP/PCI helps a bit , that's for sure......Vfsb helps only and high fsb
Vfsb will help above 300MHz fsb..... ;)Quote:

Well right now I'm 1:1 245 with 3.2 vdimm in the BIOS. Just to see how high I could go I set the 5:4 ratio which brought the ram down to a little over 200 fsb and was still unstable. I then set the cpu to 1.40v just to see and it still reboots shortly after entering Windows. I'll try anything so what are your thoughts?
What Rams do you have?
Its Mushkin Blue bh-5 from the recent release. Its tested stable to 240 3.3v so I know I'm pushing it but just for kicks I tried to up the vdimm up to 3.4 at 250fsb and still a no go. Like I said before even at 5:4 I can't get above my now 245 limit. After reading over this thread again for some help I saw your post about replacing the nb cooler so thats my next step. It's about all I can figure since the cpu is under water and staying nice and cool at 45 load. Think it will help?
Did you put into bios the settings I have posting for the BH-5 Rams and at 5:4 config..?
i get the missing file or corrupt error, what is this all about, BTW that i can boot normally once i go normal. Its at 280fsb on sata.

WAY TO GO.... :D :toast:Quote:

IF you get msgs like those, then propably is your Ram that doing that.....BEFORE you get into Windows - or try to do so - run the Memtest-86 so as to be "almost" sure that you will not have corruptions like those..... ;)Quote:

you have a 2 meg prescott, you can download EIST Tool, or SYSTool and get changable multipliers. RM Clock, and Crystal CPUID might work too.
you can try to hit really hight FSB with 14x molti!!!
EIST Tool works great but is there no way to set it outside of windows?
See EDIT :)
I am glad to see you got something to play with, now max that ram out ;)
Now you've gone and done it. I can't stop! But even with the 14x multi I am hitting a wall at 280 so I guess untill I finish the mods I'm stuck. Hopefully they will help.
stuck at 280 in 5:4??? have you tried all hipro5 settings???v-agp is raised at 1,65??
Well I don't have the vchip mod done yet so I have all but that set for the Hipro5 300 5:4 settings and I'm running 1.77 on my vagp. Everything is nice and cool so it must need voltage somewheren hopefully its the vchip.
Vchip and VFSB should both be done, cause I think one directly affects the other.
see...
when say I set the Vchip to 1.4 volts, then the VFSB to 1.7, then my OC's are no better, then if I had no mods at all.
if I leave one voltage at stock, then just mess with the other, then my OC's aren't much better.
if you can get both voltages in the green, then your OC's generally work alot better.
when I was running Vchip at 2.1 volts.
then the VFSB at 1.75 volts, both voltages are in the green, and my 5:4 and 3:2 settings both work a hell of alot better.
but if one of the voltages are in the red, then my FSB's just error out, at the 2 minute mark in Memtest 86, and result in BSOD's when windows is trying to boot.
so the kep seems to have something to do with keeping both of those voltages in the green range of UGURU EQ.
heres some results.
if I have anything in the red, then I can't boot any higher then 14x300, at 5:4 cause 240 causes a million errors.
but upping the voltages, and keeping them green in UGURU gives me alot more room to OC with, before it starts freezing again.
unfortunatly, I am near the limits of what this CPU can do, as 4.4 ghz is its max so far, so I can't try any higher then about 14x315, but I will soon, with better cooling, cause I want to see how far I can take the ram at 5:4.
kunaak can you do some pics of your v-fsb mod???

Kunaak, how come so high VFSB man?!!!
Did it help that high at all cause HiPro recommended 1.31v tops.
Cheers
I run 1.65v too.Quote:

I don't want to run high voltages anymore then anyone else does...
but I am also very willing to kill hardware for a OC, so I took the chance, and found that the VFSB is fine at 1.6, as long as the GMCH is about .1 volts higher then the VFSB.
if it's not, all I get is severe instability, even at low FSB's.
