on stock voltage i don´t get that much.. x16 is the highest stable multi on stock vcore.

i first thought the cpu or mobo doesn´t like high multis. but right now i´m 20mins into prime on 200x18.5/2.6ghzNB with 1.4875v/1.4vNB with my ram on the 1066divider. almost the same settings as in the screenshot in my sig only higher ram and nb speed.
it´s really funny that with phenomII u have to disable all the stuff that increased performance on phenomI.
cpu tweak is the most important. with cpu tweak enabled i can´t even get 3.4ghz stable. cpu prefetch is also disabled, as i don´t really know what it´s doing and it doesn´t help with performance.
both the ht and pcie-core volts are upped to 1.28V
cpu vdd is at 2.8V

4ghz is still a no go. maybe it has something to do with the sb750, as it always craps out when it´s trying to acces the hardisks (raid0 array).
but that´s still a long way to that magic 4. first i got to get 3.8ghz stable which always gives me irql_not_less_or_equal or other ram related bluescreens after a few minutes of prime.

Hey mad I just wanted to confirm how you did this.........Gotvoltage says to leave the ht and NB at stock then overclock using just the multi and stock voltage......once you hit your wall at stock voltage you raise the cpu nb voltage to see if it will stabalize......if it does you continue to move forward on the cpu speed until you need cpu voltage again lets say 1.4 or 1.45v till you hit the next wall then raise the cpu nb voltage again to see if it assists.

At least this is what I understood from his post.

First,,
Try to use the Highest CPU multi you can while using Stock NB/HT ..
OverClock while Only Raising the CPUvcore while using your max ram divider(800 or 1066) which ever ram you have.


What do you get?



Next ,,
Now try Adding some Volts to the NB on CPU and then raising then checking stability if by raising the NBvolts stabilizes things then clock some more.(920/940 use 1.35- 1.4v for NB to start) yes its safe to do . The 940 IMC is just like b3,, Actually its alot Better and uses less Volts for both CPU and NB.
This is a easy way to see if the Ram or IMC may be holding you back . By Raisng the NB volts it helps the IMC when the CPU goes up in clocks .In therory if your on the Edge of the CPU max this should make it stable. Most cases it does. Also Check the Temp of the CPU , this will hold you back too.
