Testing / comparing : Intel D975XBX2 / Asus P5B DX ***56K WARNING***

[Mygalito]

i think you 're right.

Some tests this last day and night , with my qx6700 and its unblocked multiplier, my board accepts some small fsb like 330, not more. (remember, 345 max with q6600). This is for me an understanding thing.

But with fsb like 290/300 and multiplier 11 or 12, it seems ok, about 3500 and t° max ~ 72°... always with vFSB and vMCH default, i prefer.

By comparaison, my Q6600 (which was on the XBX2) is now installed on my P35-DQ6, 4x900 @ 1,43175v bios, or 8x450. DDR2 @4.4.4.12 2,16v. T° 62~68°. I think the difference between core t° shows that i have a little problem with positionning Thermalright eXtreme. May be, may be not.

Different installations than my signature, but better Overclocking, and T° lower.
