..hi all again, I have an update on my P5Q pro turbo proble. I have 4*2gb 1066 Kingmax and it can only work on 800 leaving my cpu on 3.4GHz, not even one step further.
I yesterday bought Mushkin 2*2gb 800 and it can oc to 939MHz pushing...
Quote:Originally Posted by KingT;13769924 This is why I recommend to run Prime95 Large FFT test with 6x CPU multiplier to avoid being affected with Vcore.. (in your case 445MHz FSB x6= 2.67GHz)
Once you pass at least 6hrs of P95...
It's a bit old mbo. I used to have e4300 (E0) and Gig p965-s3 and it was instable while OC-ing. Then I bought Asus P5QL-e and it worked on 3GHz (333*9) and it still does.
V vas default, can't remember but I think it was 1.325 - DON'T SET...
..my e8400 (E0) worked on 4.0GHz with 1.25V, mem timings 5-5-5-15, PCIe 100MHz, and more or less everything else was on auto. CIA and similar stuff were disabled.
P.S. my ram was similar to your, also 2*2gb PC-6400 OCZ but it was nVidia SLI
A bit of update..
I managed to get it stable @3.8GHz (445*8.5)
I've noticed that last setting in tweaker bios section is very important.
It's something about Vdrop stability.
Voltage is 1.262, max temp under P95 was 60°C, P95 was stable...
Been there, done that
It doesn't work in 2*2gb also.
I see you've got gtx 570.
Did you tried CS5 with physX support? (I sold my gtx275 few days ago and didn't try it)
