Ideal lads...

this is my first gigabyte board so i need to learn all these hot key tricks...lol...


anyway.....im in at 460mhz now but not stable...thats down to ram timings i think.....so time to play a bit........

will keep you posted......

all in all...im glad my f-i90hd failed......

I guess this E6420 has a pretty serious FSB wall, it doesn't seem to be stable past around 410-420 FSB and I know this board is capable of more than that.

I'm quite content with 3.2ghz on a stock cooler however, I shall just leave it be!

I dont think it is an FSB wall of your CPU. it seems to be a lack of voltage - all C2D should be able to do more , but you need more Vcore and a better cooling. 3.6 GHZ should be possible.

I tried dropping the divider to see if that was the problem but still a no go. I still think that this chip has a low FSB wall which is a common problem with the "half series" chips.
