P5W - FSB Wall testing and conclusion

[Pjoeloe]

Its quite interesting i can do 7x460@1.75V VMCH but cant pass 9x423 even @1.85V VMCH.....

Hmm, maybe the 9 x multiplyer is a little buggy in the C1 stepping of the p965 chipset for retail conroes "the C-2 Stepping is suppose to fix some FSB issues as well as some more optimizations on Intel's Fast Memory Architecture. Unfortunately C-2 Stepping P965 boards will not come till Sept. 9, 2006 "

this explains things in the Anand roundup, the 965s couldn't reach as high as the more mature 975 boards. Sounds logical because the ES samples were their, and with those chips the p965 C1 chipset is made.

Shark, did you do what`s on page one , first post ? did it help for your "9" multiplyer fsb ? 9 x 423 = 3807 mhz, maybe it`s the limit of your cpu
