this mod even helps Dual Cores.
my board here has always had the ability to hit 530, but never this easily.
with this mod, I just set 2134 FSB in bios, set the ram to sync mode, all the voltages to thier near best places, and rebooted.
worked first time, no problem.
just worked.
in the past, I could occassionally get into windows at 530, do suicide shots...
now, I am at 7 x 533, and its stable.
that almost matchs my P5B deluxe, which I did 7 x 545 stable on that board.
for this board, 7 x 533, is nothing to scoff at.
Thats awsome kunaak.
spent about 1/2 day with the mobo yesterday after modding, and so far got 431fsb rock solid for 3d. I know what you mean now by how time consuming this is. Lots of trial and error to find the weet spots for particular fsb's for sure. With all the FSB holes that 680i already has, it makes it that much more time consuming. All the way up from 370 (what the mobo could do stock without gtl mod) I have been trying with the 9x for every bench that passes with 8x, so like you said it's looking good I think for higher multi use.
This run at 431 took about 1.00v gtl. any higher or lower and it wont even post or blue screens. Testing using stock 8800gtx's in SLI:


So to start getting closer to 450fsb, how are you handling it? Do you boot in at lower fsb with lower gtl, then raise fsb and gtl acoordingly once in windows? If not, can it be done this way or do you ahve to go straight boot from bios??
Thanx again for the thread and your efforts dude, and to Sham of course for the mod. Lots of work and trial and eroor for sure, but it could payoff huge in the end.
