I'm wanting to get closer to a 500fsb but I'm having trouble getting over 400 stable. I know 400 stable isn't anything to be depressed over but I would like to see it get a little higher.

Currently:
e6400: 3.2 @1.45v [Everest reports 1.41] (Don't want to go higher than this because I'm on air [This was purchased around Aug 06])
FSB: 400 @ +.1v
PCI: 100 @ +.1v (Not sure if I need this just upped it .1 for the hell of it)
MCH Overvolt @ +.1v
Team Elite 667 3-3-3-8: 800 @ 2.15v (3-3-3-8)
Temps: 44c idle, 52c load on a Zalman 9500 (This could be limiting? But the temps aren't that bad)

All told prime/orthos stable @ 2hours (Wanted to mess around and lower voltages before I go all night)

Thats pretty much it, regardless of how I change the multiplier or what voltages I put on FSB (I've gone up +.2v still no change) it hangs on Windows loading (It boots @420 w/x7 multi). The ram will go up to 550 @ stock voltages (Tested) so I'm not sure where the limiting factor here lies. I'm assuming that my e6400 just doesn't want to go over a 400mhz FSB. But I've fed it and been good to it

Also, I know 1:1 gives the best performance but if the ram will run 1200 should I change divider and let it run 1200?

As an aside I'm not sure I believe the temps that coretemp is giving me, bios shows 36c while coretemp shows 44-46c idle. Bios also shows NB at 26c which is close to ambient but speedfan reports 28-30c idle. I turned the warning on at 60c in the bios but nothing happens when I reach that. Although to be honest I'm not sure what the bios would do when it reaches that temp (Does it throttle?) but I see no change.

try 510fsb with 6 divider
i did 510 x7 with my e6400
nb 2-3+

chek your cpu if its flat or else lap it
i never went above 50c with my old 9500

[LifeStealer]

Yeah on my old board (POS Asrock but w/e) core temps were reported to be around 35c~ but meh I dunno. I'll take your advice though and go ahead and lap it and the 9500. Its an OK cooler I guess, would install a tuniq but the damn thing is too big

Hi guys,
I've a DS3p, are there any mod (particullary the vdrop)?
thanks

Anyone else with more suggestions? Hey sam check your PM.

pcie no need
dont bother with 1200mhz unless you want slight increase
i added a fan on northbridge +arctic silver+better springs

pcie no need

I need +.1V to the PCI-E to be stable at 400MHz and I only need to bump that (except Vcore).

It took me a while to figure it out as I also was thinking PCI-E voltage shouldn't play any role at this moderate FSB frequency.

a lot of people say it shouldn't matter, but personally, I've found it to make a difference as well.

I've only really needed it going 450fsb or so (although different motherboards...)

but vpcie is also vsb (not to be confused with vich of 1.057v)

i guess its luck of the draw
i got to 576fsb stable withought any more volts to pcie
i will see if i can go higher if i add more juice to pcie

[Poki]

I have to add alot of PCIE voltage over 450fsb(obviously the SB is suffering). 450 is fine at default but for 455 it needs +0.2v and 458 +0.3v with 460fsb being no-go. Time to get another board me thinks.
