I think ToyTen's kit is CS3222270 (D9GTR)

Happy to post my CS3222271-based settings, but for which clocks ?

Also what happens above 400FSB on yours ? Is your kit memtest stable at rated 800mhz/CL7 - mine needs about 1.68V for that.


Thanks cheapseats for your response & Happy New Year to all at Xtreme Systems..

As to your question, I am running I think the exact CS3222271 RAM as you as can be seen from the image below and I am struggling to get FSB beyond 380Mhz..I am stable though at 360 on OCCT which is hopelessly poor. All Bios settings are on AUTO except for the strap which is at 333 & the voltage increases shown on the Everest sensor page. I am also running it pretty cool on a WC for CPU / NB & GPU (8800 GTS slightly ovclkd).
I know in a post you sent on 8 Dec you showed FSB's from 450 at 1:2 all the way to 562 at 5:8 which is by my standard miraculous!!. I am using fairly similar volts increases as yourself but I am not sure whether I need to change the mem timings in Bios or via Memset.
I hope you can help as the lot of you here seem to be quiet geniuses at the huge overclocks...
Hey man if you need any help just post here and I don't mind to help~
IMO, 380FSB should be a piece of cake considerin X48 natively supports 1600Mhz related FSB (400Mhz FSB).
If you're unstable in higher FSBs it's more likely that your ram is not stable. Hence a memtest86+ 2.01 run is recommended...
CPU VTT is rather high. For my rig I only need 1.19v to get 545FSB stable.
vCore is rather high as well. Most E8600 can do 4Ghz below 1.3v...
vNB is way too high...1.4v should be more then enough.
Also Set NBGTL to +20mv and it should give you a more stable situation.
Please try this out and report back so that to find out which part is holding you back
