I wonder what voltages are required to operate the NB at 3~3.2ghz range. I've got it currently running in 2.6ghz at everything default. Even the stock clock settings for the processor.
It's a bit off topic, but afaik 3.2GHz is very rarely possible, 3GHz is also a bit on the high side. 2.6GHz is "normal" NB OC, while 2.8 is achievable on higher volts 1.4V or thereabouts. I'm saying just that 3.2 may a bit too ambitious, but you should try it for yourself. My idea would be to keep a close eye on temps, as overvolting the NB means overvolting the L3 cache, which produces a lot of heat even with the cores @stock.
I am planning a DDR3-1600mhz + 3ghz NB @ around 0.5v increase.
However if an 1100T gives me 3200mhz, I might look into in the future, or might wait over for PileDriver

If you can get 2.8-3GHZ with mother board nb and cpu nb below 1.4V then its worth doing but if you need more thanb 1.4V then its not worth it cause it'll generate too much heat, you can also try increacing fsb instead of nb multiplier i can get 2.7GHZ nb with 300fsb on my fx4300 clocked at 4.8GHZ and with 1.24Mobo nb and 1.31V cpu nb (the stock nb of fx4300 is 2ghz)
either
a) CPU has crappy IMC
or
b) Your RAM timings are wrong
Try bumping up NB and NB 1.8 voltage a notch
Hopefully you have a fan blowing directly on the sink.
PS:That's a lot of voltage for a Zosma..I was running 4.2 @ 1.47v with 3100 cpu/nb
I draw the line @ 1.43v for IMC voltage on air/water..usually 1.38 is plenty
Haha awesome to see a reply 2 years later. That CPU was an underperformer way to much vcore to run at 4ghz. Imc wasn't great but ultimately running the memory @/ 2000mhz enabled stability and 3200 CPU NB. To anyone still tinkering with 1100T/ 960T I would recommend 1866 memory/ 1.45vcore and you. Should end up around 3.9 ghz.
Alternatively fx-8350 vishera will clock to 4.8ghz at around 1.45-1.5 vcore and will tie single thread performance and absolutely destroy highly threaded performance of the old Thuban cpu's. Thuban based CPU s do great for lightly threaded old games like Warcraft and such or encoding videos and if that's what you do there is not much reason to upgrade to the new bulldozer based CPUs. But we all know AMD's gpu are where it's at these days anyhow.
Love all you AMD people
