Corsair 5400UL & Asus P5WD2 DDR860 4-2-2-2

[The Stilt]

I got my Asus P5WD2 Premium board yesterday from one of our distributors. They had received their shipment from Asus just few hours earlier, so this is probably one of the firsts Glenwood boards seen in Finland.

Because my Corsair 5400UL sticks couldn´t meet their limits on any 925XE board, I was quite eager to find out how would they perform on 955X boards.

So I ripped the package open, and bolted my 660 chip and 5400UL sticks on.
I dropped the multiplier to 14x and yanked and yanked the fsb up with SetFSB program...

First time system failed at 14x308 clocks, when memory was operating at DDR820 speed. I was running them at 2.3V, which was the highest voltage that can be selected from the bios.

Naturally I wasn´t satisfied, so I made a DDR VDD mod for the board. Then I raised the voltage to 2.39V and booted up for the second run.

Now I was able to hit 322FSB. 322FSB with 3:4 memorydivider means 430FSB or DDR860 for the ram so here we go


Corsair 5400UL @ DDR860 4-2-2-2 (Verified)

P4 660 @ 4520MHz (1.35V, stock cooling)
Asus P5WD2 Premium (VDDR mod, active cooling on NB)
Corsair 5400UL 1GB Kit (4-2-2-2-5-Turbo-HyperPath3 enabled / 2.39V)
Matrox Millenium II PCI

Thanks for Franck Delattre for CPU-Z version with P5WD2 support, and abo for SetFSB program.

I´m currently held back by cpu, since 4.5GHz is pretty much maximum with stock cooling
I´m going to bolt on my Mach2 and see how these sticks really perform.
