Hoss331: every CPu has an fsb limit, which you cant pass, the quads mostly around 460-480( depends on if it is a Kentsfield or York ) , this means lowering the multi( = clock ) dose not help much. 500+ with a quad cpu is a gift,a bonus, what the avarage 4 core cpu-s cannot reach.

Simps: Can this machine lift up in the air at least? Just dont forget to fasten your seatbelt before the take off

Somtihng else...

After suffering with experimentig with BIOS settings to stabilize my DIMMs on 1200, and not getting a step forward, I decieded to leave almost every setting in BIOS on auto, I set vDIMM to 2,1V, fsb strap to 333, CPU multi to 8, vCore 1,23125V, Mem OC charger enabed, Dram static control, read training, CPU / PCIE Spread spectrum to disabled, and tried so, and I surprised, that the system was more stable, but not 100%. So I tweak some on the settings, I set PL from the default 8 to 9, didnt had an efdect on stability, but after that I enabled all the pull in-s ( I thought why not? I never did that before ), and the system was completly stable. After this I just wanted to clear up, what the boadr set on auto for vNB, vFSB, VPLL, cause dont wanna that it some of these get overvolted, and I am curious, what I set before wrong. So first I tried different levels of vPLL to fing out what the board has set, I tried from 1,50V, 1,52V, 1,54V ...and so on, but the system wasnt stable again, I wasted with the test and the system freezes an hour or more, until I set pll to 1,7V, and that was the correct value. I tried it on 1,72V and so it is unstable again. A thought man, whatta heck? I dont even thought that the PLL anyhow would influence dram OC, and if it would, then the problem could be just that it dont gets enough voltage, dosent thought that the voltage could be to much. I dunno what the values of the other voltages( vFSB and vNB ) could be, but I dont wanna spend more time probing that. Someone could explain me what these pull- in phases are, and how they effect dram stability, and how pll is related to dram overclock. And of course I 'd fain know somehow without experimenting with BIOS settings what voltage is set on auto for NB and VTT, is there some software what can read this from BIOS?
