*FIGURED OUT, THANKS ALL*
After I figured out what to do with my temps I had on my opty 165 - solution: remove IHS - I have started clocking this chip. Here is what I have:
Asus A8R32-MVP (ATI RD580), latest BIOS
Opty 165 CCBBE 0617FPMW (no IHS) @ 280x9 1.325v BIOS, 1.36v actual
2GB kit (2x1GB) G.Skill PC3200 2.5-3-3-6 1T
Currently I have the memory with a 133 divider to keep it out of the overclocking equation so it is running at 180MHz right now. I know it is good up to 210MHz but it doesn't seem too good for overclocking but I don't know a whole lot about RAM stuff.
And here is a CPU-Z screen capture
Now my problem:
With HTT set to 280MHz it boots right up, runs orthos for several hours, no problem. But if I try 285MHz it won't POST. So I tried this stuff:
Bumping up the voltage on the CPU, no go.
Increasing the chipset core voltage from 1.2V to 1.3V, no help.
Increasing HT voltage a little, still nothing.
Decreased the HT multi from 5X to 4X to 3X, still nothing.
All the voltages are back to 1.2V on the PCIe, HT, and chipset core.
I am pretty certain I am not at the max of this CPU since upping the voltage doesn't help at all. I suppose I could be at the max of this board, but there have been people who have gotten 300+ HTT on the same board.
Any ideas?
