Hey Leeghoofd, I'm not familiar with vPLL but should I be manually setting that to one up from minimum (1.52vPLL) for an older E6300? (2MB-Conroe), currently I have that option set to [auto]

Also has anyone else substansiated jVidia's findings in regard to the board over-volting when left on auto? . . . could they be tied in to his specific board? . . . are we just assuming all boards act in the same way etc?

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!

Well there have been several users that had about the same findings as Jvidia... there was one report that with the last bios the ram overvolted less , yet on my board it was unchanged...

Lower is ofcourse always better mate... but with 65nm you can pump volts... 45nm is more fragile and itchy about tweaks... anyway set it to 1.6 and test, try to go as low as possible... ( min is 1.52)

Hope you can do at least 450FSB daily mate

How much voltage does your boards need for 500 fsb stability on wolfdales?Mine needs 1.32 for 500 and 1.38 for 525

1.26 here mate for 500FSB and 1.36 for 600FSB benches... but it depends heavily on the CPU too... with my other E8400 I need about 0.02 less... but that CPU needs more FSB Term voltage and more Vcore... this is why it's so hard to give some settings to anyone... CPU (quad, dual core,...), Mobo , Ram amount, FSB, Ram speed used,... all these things matter...

Have you tried to reapply the TIM ? is that NB getting some good ventilation ? I got a big 20Cm fan blowing on the mobo...which cools NB and ram nicely..

Good luck mate

Nice Q9450, mine couldn't even do 3.6GHz.

After all your efforts, so many different CPU's, it's maybe time to ditch some of ya hardware... crappy PSU, RAM ? cooling ?
