max FSB with P5W DH ever achieved?

[DeToNaToR.cl]

Hey dudes I wanted to know what was the max FSB achieved with this board

Anyone 500+?

[Marioace]

do you wanna know with mods or without mods

[guess2098]

no mod

with 1.65v i can only get 380 boot and 415 in windows....

Those are really loose memory timings...

Any idea on what cooling he was using?

@over 1000mhz, do you really think C3/C4 would be easy? Yes I know it's possible, but... why not just crank up that latency to get as much mhz out as you can?

[Vric]

anyway it's not like if latency would really affect real world performance

Looks nice...

wondering if it can reach 520mhz full mods with -0 at the nb

Worth a try.

Tarosa in Japan did 500FSB with 9 multiplier which is probably more impressive.

[cupholder2.0]

Not impressive, considering that a board almost half the price can do almost the same....

483 is not the same as 500. 500 FSB is much harder than you think. All the people getting Conroes will find that out soon enough.

Also keep in mind that misteroadster is not your average user. He can out-bench most people here. So can Tarosa and kaz-n.

Is paying twice as much worth the extra 17 fsb? I guess if you just got money to throw around it is...

Lets just say that I have used the Conroe even before the first user posted benchies came to this forum .

What I'm trying to tell, mr. know-it-all, is that the likelihood of you hitting 483 with that board is slim to none.

seriously ?

only tried 1 board ?

How do you know the likelihood is slim to none if you havn't used it? Did you decide its hard to hit 483 fsb just because its a lower end board? You have no evidence to back this, yet you make these claims...
I don't know why so many people always seem to assume that the more expensive is always better.

[sierra_bound]

LOL. I'm not making any assumptions. Long-time members here know that misteroadster does extremely well with any Gigabyte board he uses, better than anyone else.

You're welcome to prove me wrong. When you show your screenshot of 483FSB I'll be among the first to congratulate you.

[[TAG]Imp]

yeah, this would blow my mind, except i just saw a DS3 with 483 FSB.... wow, i'm still not over that...

[AndrewZorn]

i notice in the 500mhz screenshot that the PCIe frequency is only 55mhz... did he turn this WAY down from 100mhz in order to get the overclock? kinda cheap if so...

Clockgen doesn't recognize PLL 100% correct.

Well...have you missed his pi times on the gigabyte? at 3.4 GHz at 480 MHz on the RAM with 4-4-4-x, he should be well under 16 seconds.

High NB latencys my mate thinks. Sub 19 secs can be done with 2.8 odd GHz.

Why do these "individuals" keep believing that you can buy a cheaper C2D and OC it to the more expensive ones and get the same performance? In the illustration that Sierra_Bound posted you can clearly see diminishing returns OC a E6300 to 3 GHz+ when Super PI is ran. Why can't people think? It's far better to get a higher clocked C2D (meaning paying a little more) then buy a cheaper one then get pissy when you can't OC the FSB 450 and up
To be honest you be lucky to get over 400 FSB in some cases. Most of you looking for a board that does 450+ FSB need to stop and think. Like most cars with a speedometer of 200+ doesn't mean you will achieve that level of performance. So, to know that a MB can actual produce a number of 450+ for the FSB in no way means you will achieve it for 24/7, stable operation. If you are trying to do it just to screen shot (w/o accurate, proper documentation of why you are posting it) just makes you a poser and gives false information about what that particular board and CPU can do under partical conditions. Some of you here are gamers anyway and, how pissed you will be when you system reboots everytime you load up CS:S. So lets be real about this. Most of you looking to oc your CPU to 450, etc need to just buy an E6700 or save your money until you can afford an X6800 and be happy for once in your life.

hehe
People usually buy one mobo

with my ususal luck, I always buy 2+

Does that clock gen work for 955x? I remember that only AI booster worked because Asus locked it down. Or is clockgen now working?

Clockgen freezes my pc on my asus P5W, not sure how he has used it to get upto 500 tbh.
