Can you help me reach 500FSB for 24/7 stability?

So far I got 3 hours of Orthos Blend using these settings:

CPU Ratio Setting: 6.0 --> 8
FSB Strap to North Bridge: AUTO
FSB Frequency: 500
PCI-E Frequency: 100 --> 101
DRAM Frequency: DDR2-1000 (1:1)
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel A1: AUTO
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel A2: AUTO
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel B1: AUTO
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel B2: AUTO
DRAM Timing Control: Manual

1st Information :

CAS# Latency: 5
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay: 5
DRAM RAS# Precharge: 5
DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge: 15 --> Add TRFC 55
DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled
DRAM Read Training: AUTO
MEM. OC Charger: AUTO
AI Clock Twister: AUTO
AI Transaction Booster: Manual
Common Performance Level [10]


CPU Voltage: 1.225v --> 1.375
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (0/2): 0.630 --> AUTO
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (1/3): 0.630 --> AUTO
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.5v
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.24v
DRAM Voltage: 1.8v --> 1.9
NB Voltage: 1.30v --> 1.26
NB GTL Reference: 0.550 --> AUTO
SBridge Voltage: 1.20v
PCIE SATA Voltage: 1.50v

Load Line Calibration: ENABLED --> Disabled
CPU Clock Skew : 400ps --> AUTO
NB Clock Skew : 200ps --> AUTO
These are my settings for 4ghz with 8 x 500, I don't use LLC as the rigs are always under load ( 75% Folding at home ), I need 1.28Vcore for my E8500 under load so I need to set 1.325 in bios to get there... I estimate 1.375-1.4 for 1.33 4ghz operations...if ya like LLC enable it...

hope it works...
