Any suggestion on how to get it to run with all 9 multipliers and lower the temps?

Have you done vdroopmod ?? do this first for system stability. What is your case cooling like?? You have good airflow?.

Is your cpu temp of 55c Tcase temp or Tjunction temp? If it is Tcase temp, your cores are probably running at about 60-75c wich is acceptable.

Do you have NB SB cooling? Also could be your ram causing stability issues, run 1:1 fsb:ram ratio. try oc you ram after you find you get your cpu stable.

Update your system info, it will help us to be able to better help you.

How do you do the vdroopmod? My case seems to have good airflow and yes my cores are running about 60 to 70 on load. What is weird that I can surf then net no problem when oc but trying to play cod 5 I get bsd every time. Oh, and I have to go with 8 multipliers. On 9 it crashes right away or it doesn't recgonize the oc. It shows system at 2.4.

I even tried to reinstall bios 608 and it said downgrade not allowed.

It was not a good pc weekend. I updated my info.

do some reading on vdroop, I know it is very boring but it wil save you a lot of money. it is extreamly simple, you just have to be patient and keep an eye on cpu-z a few times over.

instead of using a resistor just colour the existing one with a pencil, HB or 2HB, just look around, remember... Google is your best friend.

upgarde to newest bios, click on my system name for details...

Last night I upped the vcore to 1.41 and during prime95 I get an error about 6 minutes into it. Core 3 has the error saying: fatal error: rounding was 0.5 expected less than 0.4. From what I read briefly it has something to do with my voltage. I have my ram voltage at 2.1 and the NB setting at 1.56.

Any suggestions on voltage?

Oh and yes I am using the latest bios 1403.

Thanks

Here is the latest, I think it is stable on fsb 1522 vcore 1406 multiplier at 8. Running prime95 to check it out. So far no errors at 2 hours. When I try to run it at multiplier 9 I get bsd every time.

My ram timing was the problem so I had to loosen it a bit. Any suggestions to run it with 9 multipliers?

Have you looked into pencil mod yet??
