Be careful tho, PLL and SB voltage are linked and high PLL voltages might cause CPU degradation.

Could you please report your bios settings for such levels of FSB?
I've been beating my head on the wall for the last two days, my board's stable at 470FSB but anything more won't pass more than 1-2 minutes OCCT.
My goal would be 490-495, nothing special, i'd just like to run my E8400 at the speed its capable of.

I've tryed almost everything: vNB up to 1.76, every step of VTT from 1.1 to 1.6 (using correct GTL settings), clockgen voltage up to 3.75v, vSB/vPLL up to 2v, vCORE up to 1.490, 2:3/5:6/1:1 dividers, Performance Level from 8 to 14, tRFC up to 56, bios 29/01 and 14/03...no gains in stability.
It seems to me it's like NB straps are not working. I can't believe there's no change with any divider.
Chipset and system temperatures never get higher than 40°C even at 1.7+ vNB (it's watercooled)Should I give a try to older bioses, like 1/11 or 11/28 (initial release bios, I didn't have problems with NB voltage so if it supports wolfdales i might try it aswell)?

I'd be grateful if anyone would give me some hints about wolfdales and high FSBs, my NB's surely not the highest bin but I'm not looking for crazy high frequencies, just stability under 500MHz


PS: my SuperTalent ProMOS are rock solid @ 1200MHz 5-5-4-11 2.17v PL 5 tRFC 36

i got sb @ 1.9v lol

500fsb set you nbv to 1.6 n nb gtl to 111 n have fun
550fsb 1.72v n 122 gtl
i dont have a wofdale but try setting other gtls to 67-69%
use only 333/667 n 333/800 straps
