e4300 + p5k vanilla = 325 fsb wall????

[someguy91]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for suggestions as how to get through this fsb wall... i know it's the fsb cuz everything is super stable up to 324.. and nothing happens at 325. I'm thinking more volts.. but... I don't think that's the case either to vcore or vmch.. c1e.. all that stuff is disabled... time for a new processor?

400 FSB should be possible mate, upped NB voltage to 1.4 ? Can ou plz post your bios settings here as this info is not enough to determine the cause of find a solution

This is basically the highest stable point I get..
At one point.. I pushed the Vcore to 1.45.... NB voltage to 1.7... PLL 1.7... over-charging... 1000mV... all of this stuff I gradually moved up to. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.. my RAM is buffalo firestix 6400.. d9gmh so that isnt the problem i think.

Drop the CPU multiplier to see if the board can run 400FSB and to eliminate the CPU isn't holding you back, this should be doable with the below settings... test it throuroughly then up the multi back to 9 and up the Vcore accordingly, it could be it need over 1.55 volts to get it stable at 3600mhz
