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.
