I haven't got to try an E6550 on this but I know of a friend who has one to 500FSB on a P5K. However, it did look like for them, 500 is the ceiling on FSB before it just hits that wall. My E6750 is showing that at 516 on both this mobo and P5K Deluxe as well a a P35C-DS3R.

Try the settings I posted above for other member but only tweak your vcore as needed to see if it at least restarts and POST to CMOS @ 500x7 or 6x You can try to adjust PLL to you get reported 1.642v and FSBT to 1.504v, keeping GTL Ref to 63x on CPU but try 67x on NB. I believe you might be able to get there just play round w/ it and for testing, try only w/ 1 set of RAMs in yellow slots for stability. We know X38, and this mobo for sure is good to 515FSB stable on 1.5v NB. Only those w/ E6850's are gonna' show what more FSB we can get out of it.

Let me know as I am curious if I can help get another E6550 to 500x7

Clock On!
