New 14 beta 2 bios and active northbridge cooling
After trying all the biosses and swapping the northbridge cooling i come the following conclusion:
1. My max. fsb oc has gone from 401 to 438 at 8 multi with 14 beta 2 and new Coolermaster Blue Ice pro chipset cooler
2. We need a vfsb voltage option in the bios.
3. With the latest beta bios i only need 1.7 vmch to get a 438 fsb
4. I cant go over 438 fsb at a multi of 8 no matter what voltages i use
5. 9*400 works perfectly 12 hours prime stable at 1.46 vcore, 1.75 vmch
6. With the 8 multi the AW9D-Max does a system fsb of 1750 wich i think is very good for a 975 chipset
7. With more voltage adjustments the max can do 2000 fsb !?
8. You really need a third party northbridge cooler. I'm thinking about buying the switech or hr-05 for the long term
9. If you want to set benchmarking records buy a intel p965/nvidia 680i
