Stuck at 3.7Ghz and NOT liking it one bit

[ghot]

Try using these settings:
5-5-5-15-24-2T-2.1v
Dram freq. = 800mhz
CPU/NB Freq. = 2000Mhz
HT Link Speed = 2.0Ghz
CPU Vcore = 1.5v
CPU/NB Voltage = 1.35V
CPU/VDDA Voltage = Auto
Dram Voltage = 2.20v
HT Voltage = Auto
NB Voltage = Auto
nForce 200 Voltage = Auto

Also the VDDA Voltage option is used to eliminate vdroop, so you should try to understand how much impact it has on your voltages when you use it.

I have bro....no amount of voltage will solve this....I've tested every voltage step up to 1.58vcore, 1.4 CPU/NB, and NB voltage from auto to 1.28....with CPU/NB freq from auto to 2000 to 2600 with all stops in between :/

If you're saying that 2600 is too high for 3.8+Ghz....then Ill run another test.....if it's heat you're wondering about...nothing I set in BIOS will push CPU temp over 42C or MCP temp over 51C

I feel the need to repeat this is an nVidia 980a chipset and not an AMD chipset...they don't like voltage at ALL! Niether does the 955 as we all know. If you notice I had to DROP the CPU/NB voltage to even get into 3.8Ghz
At higher voltages I cant even hit 3.7Ghz

But what the hey...I'll do it now even though i know it won't boot at those settings

...and yes i understand you're running me thru Chews isolate the components test backwards
