Thanks! I wonder why the memory didn't OC much? I wonder if you increasing the PCI-E voltage would help? As long as temps stay reasonable. Did you set your fan on your card to run faster? Mine would only run at 30%, so I used the EVGA precision tool to run it at 75%. If you don't havean EVGA card, you can use RivaTuner to change the fan speed and have it run at start-up, so it doesn't reset once you reboot. It helped keep my card temps lower.

I have an evga card and i set the fan speed to 100% Im going to make a new run at 3d mark and see what i get at 775 core and 1015 mem with a bump to the pcie voltage.
I know this is pointless if you dont use the rig for more than benchmarking but i want it to run as fast as it posibly can. I kinda got my self in a pissing contest with a guy that has a Q6600 go and a 780i mb with 4gigs of DDR2 1066 dominator ram. He is running sli and i still run all over him when he uses just one 8800GTS 512 card.

Ok I just finished a new 3dmark6 run and got 15357 3DMarks

E8200 (2.66 45nm Wolfdale), GA-P35-DS3L, 2x1gb G.Skill PC2-8500, ASUS TOP 9600GT.

First thing I did was hit 3ghz, installed XP at 3ghz

After installing my usual programs I went to 443x8 for 3.55ghz, ram divider to get to 533(1066), only voltage adjustment was to get ram up to its 2.1v spec, cpu does almost 1ghz OC at default voltage

I'm currently posting this message at 500x8, cpu at 1.3v ... quick SuperPi 1M test in 11.984 seconds.

Further results when I get my real heatsink, doing this all on factory intel HSF,

Anyone using crucial ballistix 2 gigs on this board? I want to know what volt you are running it at for 800mhz 4-4-4-12 timings.

Wow, 4.0Ghz out of a 2.66 chip is impressive especially at that core voltage.

System Memory Multiplier (SPD)
Allows you to set the system memory multiplier. Options are dependent on CPU FSB settings. Auto sets memory multiplier according to memory SPD data. (Default: Auto) <--- Change to 1:1

Memory Frequency (Mhz)
The first memory frequency value is the normal operating frequency of the memory being used....(try to get them both as close as possible 800 to start out with.)The second is the memory frequency that is automatically adjusted according to the CPU Host Frequency (Mhz) and System Memory Multiplier settings.

You can also kick up the ram voltage 0.1v at a time but not over 0.3v for your brand of ram.

DDR2 OverVoltage Control
Allows you to set memory voltage.
Normal Supplies the memory voltage as required. (Default)
+0.1V ~ +0.7V Increases memory voltage by 0.1V to 0.7V at 0.1V increment.
Note: Increasing memory voltage may result in damage to the memory.

Sys. Memory Multiplier- Question, mine says i can go up 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 etc.

Now what does this have to be 1:1 ratio with? The FSB?

And the memory frequency needs to be equal with what exactly?

Sorry for being noobish, but i would rather get it right than buy new parts

2.0 is 1:1

wow...that was awesome; That simple
Thanks guys!

i have the ballistix tracer and i have them at 952mhz (total rated fsb is 1904)


....also I just pushed my e6550 to 3.3Ghz @ 1.3v

[Fox_Smash]

i got the board on saturday with a Q6600 and i want to say IT'S AWESOME,I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS BOARD TO ANYONE!!!!!
rock solid 3.0Ghz(total speed) Q6600 overclock.

[reezin14]

@Fox_Smash I can wait for my Q to get back to see how far I can push it.Does anyone know which temp is the NB's in pic ?
