Official MSI P7N Diamond (780i) Discussion/Review/Overclock/Guide/BIOS Thread

Loonym,

Thanks A stable 400mhz FSB with less than 1.4v on the NB is quite impressive for any 780i chipset based board. I'm still in the process of discovering how the GTL and FSB Term settings relate to actual voltage, but Aaron Yuri over at the MSI forums was able to shed some light on FSB Term. Apparently, the min setting (which I suppose is 1, not -80) relates to 1.2v, while the max of 63 relates to 1.6v.

He also says that he's getting a board, and once it arrives he'll hopefully be able to dig in and provide more info on these mystery settings.

theYipster,

I am currently finishing a 12hr run at 3.6GHz stable on Mercury (see signature) - 1 hour to go. After the run I will post my settings.

Congrats on the 4.0GHz run. Really fantastic. I would love to be able to get there stable, but fear my LCS can't support the load. I did get a 3.7GHz run last night long enough to get 3DMark06 score of 19180.

After the I complete the 12 hour run today, I'm tearing down and lapping my chip. Core temps are running 65-67C at sustained full load.

With respect to the terminator voltages, I have been going under the assumption that they are a percentage of the parent voltage either added or subtracted.
