hey jdmr, whats your vnb set to with the .625 nb gtl? thanks! =)

@leghoofd

is there a significant bandwidth loss between pl 10 and 13? pl 13 is what the board usually sets when i set it to auto using the 333 strap...

i know and seen a lot of e8400 e0s doing around 4.2-4.5 with vcores below 1.4 and without any gtl tweaks. 4ghz is good enough but if i can get my baby to run more than 4ghz without too much gtls and voltages, i'd go for it.

the thing is i often get core 0 or 1 errors when i try some settings, i always ruled out my mems as my friend, which is the 1st owner of the dominators, was able to run it to 1200+ stable, and as for me i tested it to run ddr1180+ @ 2.1vdimm.

i'll try your suggestions, i always set the pl to 10 coz i think there's some significant bandwidth loos when you set it around 12-13..

i also got it to be stable at 510x8 before with some gtl tweaking, which i think was set to 1.3vtt .620 for the 2 cpu gtls and 1.46vnb with gtl set to i think .590 or .520, too bad for me i forgot to take note of the settings... it was like a suicide run for the nb already as the temps gets around 44 idle 46 load, which is too hot for me for a p45 chip. unless it is like one of those nvidia nb chips that the dfi lp ut expert has which a 50c load temp is somehow tolerable... i don't want to break my board since it came from taiwan direct from a friend and rma is definitely not an option here in the phils since the shipping cost is too much...

if any of your suggestions don't work, i'll let my friend borrow my e8400 for around 2 days to test it using his p5q vanilla board, and if the chip gets to more than 500fsb without so much gtl tweaks (which is making my head heavy with thinking) then it would definitely prove that it is my board that's acting up on me =(

but if in case the chip doesnt do 500fsb+ with my friend's p5q, then it's the chip that i got who is baaaaddd, really bad since i sold my cm690 for me to be able to get it from the seller since it was a rush sale and i havent got any cash on hand that time =(

i've been eyeing a dfi ut p45 t2rs if in case our tests prove that it is my board that's acting up... hope i won't regret getting it as a replacement for the p5q-d just in case..

thanks! other inputs are still welcome!

cheers!
