Hey Bri7, I was looking at some old screen shots of my 965 system to see were I was running v's on it (on water).
If you've gotten your temps that low under load you should be able to bring the voltages up a little...
I'm not sure if this'll work or not but it would give you a decent (air) tune across the board if it does.
Using your settings from Post #16 change these and see if it works:
Set CPU Ratio to: 16.0
Set CPU Bus Frequ to: 240
Set CPU Voltage to: 1.475
Set CPU/NB Volatge to: 1.275
Set DRAM Voltage to: 1.55
These settings will result in the following clocks:
CPU Core: 3840 (16 x 240)
IMC: 2400 (10 x 240)
HT Link: 2400 (10 x 240) Drop this 1 click to 2160 (9 x 240) if you have stability probs with these settings.
(I always liked to keep @ the same speed as IMC, but thats just personal preference, it won't effect performance much)
Mem Speed: 1600 (6.66 (1333 divider) x 240)
I'm
not a crazy voltage guy, these are a little high, but should be perfectly safe as long as you can keep load temps <58c.
That being said, use at your own risk, I accept no responsibility...
I
am going to lecture you here just a little bit on the whole RMA thing...
First, that seems like a decent chip and I'm pretty sure it would be perfectly stable at stock clocks.
Second, buying a CPU is like buying a Lottery Ticket, your not always going to hit the Jackpot!
Third, Karma can be a b*tch and you could very well get a total dog as a replacement...
It's a pet peave of mine to hear people talk of RMA'ing chips because they don't OC like they'd hoped.
I've said my peace though.
Hope those settings work for ya!
