[Asus P5W DH] FSB problem

[Waus-mod]

Hi guys,

I have a real problem with overclocking my E6600 step 5 on the p5w.

explanation:

Board ran out of the box 435x9 and hit a wall (1.5vcore and 1.65vmch) Also with higher voltage's no gain.
Im now trying to begin on the 8x multiplier:

vcore: 1.55v
vmch: 2.3v
cooling: air



So i tried again on the 9x multiplier:


after this im atm on 441x9.. but higher is impossible and the chip have done a lot more stable on a other board.

I changed allmost everything like deviders etc etc

Then i accidently forgot to set to 8x mp and pushed setfsb to 455x9.

It was totally stable to take screenshots/validations etc above 4100mhz+ and further. This chip should easily do 4100 1m stable.

Does someone know how i could pass 440x9? (and yes i crancked all the voltage's to the sky but no improvement)

The board ain´t going to live too long with MCH voltage at 2.3V...

If it was stable on another board, and not on yours then it would seem to point to a difference in your configuration.

Maybe the motherboard you're using isn't as stable? Maybe the memory isn't as good? Is the cooling & temperatures any different at all?

Holy crap, 2.4Ghz to 4.1GHz on air and you're having a problem Ocing?!

The real question is deminishing returns. Let see some 3d06 scores @ 4.1 vs 2.4

2.3v??

2.3v??

word!

word!

what?

As in:

Holy s t.

2.3v on the chipset is really pushing it.

At that rate it will die on you real fast and

If the board can't handle more than 440mhz get another one. At 2.3v and propper cooling you should be above 500mhz.

Better cooling chipset, say ss or dice should give you extra Mhz but I think in this case you are just unlucky to get a board which has problems at high fsb. Some are better, some are worse although this hasn't been confirmed yet, just user input

@ kiwi,

Yes that is what i allready wanted to do. but its still a nice board. asus has done a good job!
