could push it further but not with the side of the case on, I will have to add more fans to pump more air in. Also going to reseat the Tuniq with shin Etsu this week and see if I can drop it a little.

Thanks for your information. Leastbay. I updated the list. Shin Etsu is actually pretty good. I get 3c-4c drop after I applied it.

I tried 350x10, but couldn't get it to boot. Still working on voltages though. I tried cpu @ 1.525v, ddr2 @2.0V, NB@1.37v. 350x9 is working at 1.505v on vcore and 1.33v for NB. Anyone know what the CPU GTLREF setting does on the IP35-E board? I haven't played with that yet.

im running at 8x mutli with 430 fsb .. with ddr2 800 ram.. im still able to keep my 1:1 with my divider.. i wonder if i could get 6 x 500 ..

As far as I know, the CPU GTLREF is for increasing FSB potential without actually overvolting your CPU. For instance, in my case, E2180 runs at 3.6G and vcore closes to 1.52. If I want to try 3.8G but I don’t want to increase vcore, I will try to increase the CPU GTLREF to see how it goes.

What is the guideline on increasing NB voltage.

My 2180 runs 300fsb with 1.425 vcore 10hours stable on prime95. It needs 1.5 vcore @ 320. The NB is set to auto on a P5K-E. Would a increase in NB reduce the vcore needed at 320fsb?

Is there a temperature guidline for increasing NB voltage?

DONT set your NB voltage on auto coz your mobo might try to over volt it.
also if your NB needs a lot of voltage to be stable make sure it has active cooling like a fan blowing on it.

Well if I dont set it to auto what are the guidlines for setting the NB voltage?

For CPU there's a range of safe voltage given by intel and also use the VID as reference. There isnt such information for NB so if not auto then how?

How do you determine NB stability?
