When you say 9x375...I assume that means moving up from 9x266.67 (which is where I'm at right now).

Trouble is...I don't see anything in the BIOS that states 266.67. Right now I have my FSB linked at 3:2 ratio per my other thread.

I bet this is one of those things which is sitting right in front of my face but I've got my blinders on I guess!

I figured out that 1066.67 divided by 4 equals 266.75...close enough. So if I'm to go to 300 as a first step...then I change the 1066.67 to 1200?

Good, should have mentioned that. Yes. you will move the 1066 number up. Change your ram settings to unlinked first in case your ram can't handle the fsb increases (you can do the ram later with voltage increases if needed). Also leave all ram timing settings on auto for the time being.

Yes change 1066 to 1200 (300 FSB x9 = 2.7 Ghz). It will be stable for awhile.

Make certain that you have CPU VTT set to 1.55 and manually set your Vcore to 1.35 for starters.

I paid $130 cdn for it, thats an excellent price. Rakukojin here on the forums (resident audiophile) indicated that the Bluegears provides better sound quality than the X-FI Gamer as well.

Good to know. I wanted to think ahead on the cooling and placement items to save headaches later. I want to be able to just toss in a new CPU and another 8800GTX and be done with it basically.

EDIT : Order Placed!!!! So Happy! Thanks again - fingers crossed I didn't screw anything up =)

Done...stable at 2700

What's next? LMAO. I'm like a kid in a candy store right now!

Simple eh?

Now its time to start increasing the FSB higher. The best test is to do it in 25 Mhz increments (translates to 100Mhz bumps). You should have no issues for the first two until you get over 375. Then some other adjustments may be needed (again refer to my guide).

375 will give you 3.375 Ghz. If you can get that stable, run orthos for an hour or two (while watching the temps on core temp) to make sure its stable and doesn't run too hot. If you get that stable, then we can talk ram and video card overclocking. You should be able to go higher on the cpu but your cooling may be a limitation at the top end.

Only with your help.

Ok to bump it up to 375 under those same voltage conditions?

**Robilar** · 03-21-07

Yes. What cpu cooling are you using?

Also, for 325 and 350 vcore should be ok. You may have to up vcore to 1.4 for 350-375 (you will be safe up to 1.55 in vcore but temps will start to accumulate quickly)

I'll be back in a couple of hours...I'll try making the suggested changes above.

Thanks again Robilar!

Ah you mean the big typhoon. That should certainly be fine.

Been trying the recommendations u gave past 2 day Robligar. Still for some reason cannot seem to pass 3150. Only thing i can think of to try would be maybe to up memory vltage to 2.3. Right now i am thinking it is the ram limiting me. Have given thoughts to the PSU also but PC P&C are supposed to be well made so not sure.
