Hi guys, I've been playing with my OC settings now that I have my watercooling kit installed, but I've been hampered by this damn 360 FSB wall. I've tried putting my RAM on SPD settings, but that doesn't help. (Strangely, when I tried the SPD setting at a lower FSB speed that worked, it didn't boot at SPD, but at the speed that was selected right beneath the FSB setting.) So, anyways, I've turned off all the extra memory options, the CPU options, etc. I've gotten my system to boot and run two Orthos instances for 10 minutes with no problems at FSB 350, RAM at 875mhz 4-4-4-12 with 1.325 vcore and 1.65mch, but upping the voltages to get higher FSB aren't working at all. I've tried doing all the things I could find in this thread and elsewhere, but nothing has helped. All I want is 400 FSB. That's it. I'm not trying to break records, I just want to run 1:1 with tighter RAM timings at DDR2-800. I'm using the 2004 BIOS, by the way. Was I a lucky winner in the "let's see who gets a poor overclocker" sweepstakes?
I miss the days when heat was your only enemy. Just throw good enough cooling at it and it'll go. Not anymore it seems.
