Perfect example that going up is not always the direction one should choose.

But for some time now been trying to get it to work.
My goal was 3.8ghz. At some point i did a cross flash as i call it to the RAMPAGE bios. 8202

It proven to be one of the best things ever. No i have not reach my goal but now days what ever i put on it it will boot.

Any way. been surfing alot to get some more info. This QX6700 is not so commons and by now almost no one using it.
In search of the sunrise has to redo bios settings and from what you can see from previous posts they where high.
So far i have managed to take them down a bit.

One thing i can tell you for sure is that 8x450 fsb needs that 1.50V FSB Termination Voltage. (have tryied almost anything and i found countless ways NOT to do it that way).
So 1.50V FSB and 1.53V NorthBridge works for me.

Also notice that the CPU Voltage is now down to 1.46875V / 1.54V CPU PLL

Iam quite sure that there is room from improvment.
One thing i did notice is that taking the CPU voltage 1 click down, I had to take the PLL 1 click down as well. If not, Prime failed on around the 7 or 8th loop.


Also when prime fails going up one click in voltage Do Not always work.
Will not argue that , just an observation. Be flexible! and take your time. It does take time this OC business.
