Watercooling anyone? We might be seeing where better NB cooling may yeild to better results.

Watercooling the chipset generally yields about 6-7 more MHz on FSB with P5W DH. Not huge. More importantly, Rol-Co is using modded board with Vmch at more than 2v. Unmodded board only goes up to 1.65v.

Unmodded board only goes up to 1.65v.

Is that limit because of the boards design or because of the bios?

[sierra_bound]

Maximum chipset voltage in BIOS is 1.65v. Everyone who's done 500+ FSB has done Vmch mod. Hehe, now Rol-Co is going to remind me to do mod on my board.

@Rol-Co
With 4:3 ratio, I was able to run 3-2-2 timings (Corsair 8000UL) with FSB at 465. Maybe I'll try loosening timings to see what happens.

Holy crap That's one BIG nb cooler

similar to my Bad Axe (but water was 33 deg.)

And almost max (boot 1067)
