I have a question... Is there any way at all to acheive 5ghz on air cooling? Or am I just dreaming. I have my cpu at 500x8 right now with 1.29v and stock fsb, pll, etc. I just have the NB bumped to 1.4v. Also are there any methods that you can keep your OC stable while lowering your vcore? I see guys running 4.5ghz with less than 1.3v and I don't know if they have a golden chip or if they know something I don't. Anyways glad to be on here looks like alot of good threads!
Hello Shiver, There is no doubt the board is capable of a 550+ FSB, but as far as on air cooling, I dont know. I think at that FSB you might need at least H20 cooling on the NB. Im curious how other people are cooling there NB at high FSB and MCH. At 4.5 with less then 1.3, yes, u can safely say they have a golden chip, and probably a low vid chip also. Your vid is on the high side. For finding lowest Vcore run P95 smallFFTs, then move onto Blend P95. Alot of people are finding they need slightly more Vcore to run P95 Blend then they did running P95 small FFTS.
