alo everyone

it is confirmed that the reason that i cant pass 450FSB is the cpu FSB Wall

so until i dont have a new one i´ve spend today playing with the memories Gskill HK 8500

with some troubles finding the correct seetings the max i could get was this:

DDR1200 5-5-5-15 2,45v with 2\3 dividir E6420@3200 1.37v




i´m happy with the result after the alot of troubles that happend since i bought the board, today also tried the 4\5 dividir for searching the 24h\7 settings but very unstable yet.

sorry for the testment it´s late her in portugal

It's very interesting how differently this board clocks each cpu. Everyone's different bios settings are almost useless. It seems we each will need to find what works with our hardware.

My initial OC.

I seem to be hitting a wall between 405 - 410 FSB. I've tried lowering multi, upping voltage, and loosening the ram timings (5-5-5) and still a no go. CPU is fine at 400 x 8 on stock volts. This FSB wall doesnt seem to be CPU related but then again I dont remember these hard fsb walls with AMD chips. Any settings that directly effect max fsb? I've turned off all the CPU features in the advanced CPU settings. I've tried GTL mode 2 And DRAM mode 1 -3 with no luck. I havent yet played with the outer DRAM timings but the system boots into windows with ram clocked at 600mhz. Im pretty stumped.
