Ram-2.5

south-alot i forget
Bios-505

Tried these same setts a week ago and it would die on 3d mark cpu test. Why it decided to get it done now is beyond me my friends

Have you tried dialing any of the voltages down to see if all that is really required?

I started quite high and was able to reduce all the voltages a great amount and still pass the Marks at nearly 4 ghz. (3960)

Nice to see what is possible..but I don't see running volts like that for more than a few passes.

What settings are you gaming at?

I can run at 475 FSB NP...8X multi.

Yes i have tried. The thing is 4gig is very easy on this mobo. But once you get to 450fsb things change and volts are needed. 4gig for me is easy only vcore and dram voltages tweaked the rest on auto. For gaming i run 4gig 24\7 no issues at all. vcore 1.65, ram 2.3 prime stable for couple of hours cus i dont believe in prime or orthos. If this thing crashes once a month no big deal You say you can hit 475? hmm i stopped at 460 but maybe later this week i will try higher. The thing is it is such a pain to friggin switch display overclock 1 card switch back overclock the second card then run 3dmark praying the whole thing dont blow up in your face I will try my E6850 next.
