I'm having troubles getting up over 525 FSB. Any pointers?

How much voltage is safe on the north bridge?

just got this board 100% stable with a xeon that i bought last week

its ~1.36v idle in cpuz, ~1.3 at load



im going to try to ease down the ram voltage now, thats the last thing ive got left to do

edit: this is with 8 gigs of gskill PQ 1000

Speaking of which, does anyone know of a really good primer that explains what all of the timings are for and how they're related to each other. I'm not just talking about the CL-tRCD - tRP - tRAS and CR but all of the other ones as well... tRFC, tRRD, tWR, tRTR, tRTW, tWTR, tPTP, tREF, the ODTs, skews, everything, lol. OK, maybe that's not going to be found in a primer, but if anyone knows of any good links/books/etc. I'd be super appreciative...

I barely know what I'm doing with the timings but from the looks of it, this board really seems to give you the ability to finesse the performance of your DDR2 through the timings without having to brute force the voltages and I'm kind of geeking out at the prospect...

really sexy board, I might wanna ditch mine if it can do over 500+ FSB on a Q6600.

If someone has a Q6600 and this board, mind figuring out what's the FSB limit on 65nm?

thanks

I'm waiting to be under water to really stress this cpu. I was able to attain 510 mhz but had to put 1.45 vtt(dont go over 1.6 for extreme oc).

Gimme a month or until someone else post some benchies. I'm gonna oc this cpu much since im stable(but HOT) @ 3.8 with only 1.45vcore llc enable here's a preview

btw i ran p95 12h with a big fan blowing fresh air in my case, didnt occt tho, but like i said, it's too hot for now for any 24/7

My chip is limiting me to 412 FSB but I went from 2 gigz to 6 Gigz and didn't have to change a thing if that means anything.

D.J.S.

It gets very complicated due to the tables which change with each IC ,
There are literally thousands of potential stable combos. Even the ram
companys only test in certain "know" ranges to avoid problems and or inconsistancy in product.

We are in effect blindly conducting our own R&D

I usally goto the ic's website and dload the tech specs on that package and see what they
say about diff thresholds and whatnow , warning there is so much info on each chip it gets very
crazy .

yeah with 1.408 but since its a low vid it runs kinda hot i need water for 4.0 lol
