dram static read control - auto

dram voltage - auto
cpu voltage - auto

and i have every other unused unneeded feature disabled. such as speedstep, etc.

ill change timings back to 555 12 and remove the other stick of ram.

The bold part is the trouble.

Set the voltages manually.

change it to 5-5-5-15
Vdimm = 2.2 volts.
Cpu vcore: 1.38 volts
NB: 1.40 volts

OMG

IT WORKED. OMG. at 3.0ghz now... 433mhz. 2.2volts. omgz

i gues ill notice some lag cuz i only have 2gb ram now....

As long as you know that you are overvolting the sticks by 0.1v, because they are rated for 2.1v. My bet is that you can set it to 2.1v and it will still work just fine.

is it bad to leave it at 2.2?

If they don't get too hot, then no it's not bad. The life span might be a little shorter though.

A lot of the people who've hit a fairly low "FSB wall" were using DDR2 800. Have you tried any faster RAM? Or tried some creative timings on the RAM you have? Granted, you're not likely to see 4GHz on air with this CPU but I wouldn't condemn it out of hand.

nvm didnt read enough..Looks like its working.

tyuo9980 · 10-13-09

hey im still open to new suggestions.

i want at least 3.2ghz but i can only manage 3ghz rite now.

i saw a huge performance increase! my super pi 1mb has increased by 3 seconds!

so far i hav 433mhz times 7 multipliers which is 3.04ghz.

5-5-5-15 ocz ddr2 pc 6400 ram. 2.2volts. its currently 866mhz

my cpu vcore is 1.4.

i hav 2x1gb ram.

p5k se mobo.

I TOLD YOU. LOL!

ok end of gloating.

now run prime 95 on those settings (both blend and small fft tests)
if they pass 10-12 hrs then change your fsb to 445mhz and see if its stable.
Keep upping fsb until you gret an unstable system and then up theVcore and try again.
