What's the key to go from 8 or 8.5 x 500 to 9 x 500fsb...is it just a vCore thing ?? Or more VTT, PLL or MCH ???
thank you.
for me its a vcore thing.but i havent really tried to tweak all my voltages down.since ive had this new cpu i started with these basic settings.
pll 1.57
vtt 1.26- 1.28
cpu ref 0.76 normal set in bios
mch 1.36- 1.38
mch ref with vtt of 1.20 ref is 0.70
vdimm 2.10- 2.20 depending on fsb
all other voltages are set to normal in bios

so with vtt and mch i just stayed in those ranges
and vcore goes up and down depending on what clock.

its driving me nuts that i can do 4500 w/1.31v
but when i try 4600 it fail small fft's with 1.34v and 1.36v
it's looking like it will need 1.37v.but im going to keep trying to get 4600
with 1.36v
