Update!
After wasting most of my weekend with this board; conclusion: happy!
First off, i got my old settings back: 400x9 with DDR2-800 on stock.
Second, i can push a little higher on the RAM, reaching 439 FSB (using low 6x CPU multi to make sure im testing the RAM) primed for nearly 2 hours! Haven't got a chance to use high multi and see if the CPU can keep up, but i want to reach 450 first on the RAM so i can hopefully hit a solid 3.6 (or even 4...).
Now, onto more details...
Code:
3.6Ghz 400FSB w/ DDR2-800
manual RAM: 4-5-5-15-auto the rest ---> 4-4-4-15 won't primed while 4-5-5-18 won't even load OS. 5-5-5-15/18 works too but i can pass with tighter timings.
DRAM static read: Disabled
DRAM read training: Disabled
Mem OC Charger: Auto
AI Clock twister: Auto
Trans. booster: manual level 10 ---> Auto works too, but i like to keep things manual, and 10 seems to work fine (with no Superpi performance loss between the 2). haven't got the chance to try 9...
vcore: 1.42 ---> lower won't primed (well, i skipped 1.40 altogether, but 1.38 won't primed) at 3.6Ghz. but i dont mind, load max temp is 69 on any cores.
GTL: Auto
PLL: 1.52
FSB termination 1.22
DRAM: 1.82 ---> nice and cool!
vNB: 1.35 ---> very hot to the touch when priming! I'm a little worried. so i'm kinda cranking the case fan a little bit more when i play games. any lower can't b primed. boots the OS just fine though. and its still better than the 1.5 needed on my BloodIron to hit 400+... (altho i had a Jing-Ting NB cooler on that thing!)(should i move that to the new board? hmmm......)
vSB: Auto
vPCI: Auto
That's all. Now i'll be testing a couple more timings to see if i can hit 450. 439 is primestable with 2.2v at 4-5-5-15. Will update later.
