so far the most i can achieve is 2.9GHZ, 14.5x200, 1066 unganged, 2x2GB dual channel with ~1.34Vcore, dfi m2r. i do need to get some cooling on the PWM, as it approaches ~70c, and on the chipset (aproaches ~60-65c), but doubt that is hindering the overclock to 3ghz.
ive also noticed that after numerous attempts of pushing up and locking up, the board remembers some bad settings of trying to push up, and i must ezclear it and or reflash to clear, in order to be restable at 2.9GHZ (ive only tested occt mixed 2 hours which passes ok; ill go for more once i complete testing).
i will now try to lower multi, and up the HTT, to see if i can get past 2.9. then i will try async multi clocking to see which core(s) are holding me back.
this thing cooks for sure, even on pretty good water, when approaching the 1.35Vcore mark.
i wanted 3GHZ sync, but that's not happening. ah well. the 3GHZ has been evading me since A64! at least i moved on to am2+, and i can pop in a 45nm once that's available and in good standing.
