I can't get stable higher FSB than 500

Hello everybody

Here is what I achieved:

but higher I go 510, 520, 533 FSB the OS is loading but after few minutes of Prime95 screen is freezing and after that only Clear CMOS is helping. I try witch different voltages (CPU - 1.24 to 1.36V, NB - 1.18 to 1.35V, VTT - 1.2 to 1.3V).
In BIOS i have 5 options witch I don't understand (I try to find something in i-net but it is still mystery for me) and I'm afraid they are very important for FSB higher than 500:

1. Clockagen Voltage Control
1. CPU GTL 0/2 REF Volt
3. CPU GTL 1/3 REF Volt
4. North Bridge GTL REF Volt
5. FSB Vref

please can someone explain it to me in simple language, when to change each option and how change will influence for whole system.

Have you read the overclocking guide?

Yes, there is no answer for my question.
You're probably going to need more NB/VTT volts to get that high of an FSB stable.
Higher then NB 1.35 and VTT 1.30 ?
Now I can't even boot to bios after increase FSB over 500, PC is restarting all the time.
When I increase voltage of CPU to 1.28V, NB to 1.2V and VTT 1.2V nothing is changing, reset all the time, but when I increase any of voltages higher I get long loud beeeeeeeeeeep and after I have to turn off PC, when i turn on bios is restarted.

For over 500fsb, i'm sure you'll need quite a bit more than 1.2v on the northbridge, and probably a bit more vtt.

You are going to need more than 1.2v or even 1.35v NB to run at 500+ fsb.

Try 1.4v or even 1.45v, but as you increase your NB voltage, you may need active cooling on it.
On NB i have water block so no worries.
To by more specyfic:

voltage on CPU - 1.28, NB - 1.2V, VTT - 1.2V and FSB higher then 500 PC is restarting all the time I need to Clear CMOS

now when I increase any of voltage higher then i wrote above I get long loud beeeeeeeeeeep. One thing what I can do is to turn off PC, when I turn it on again the BIOS is restarted.

I checked voltages: CPU - 1.44V NB 1.45V and VTT 1.35V PC doesn't beep but reset all the time.

I didn't see it mentioned yet, did you set your FSB:RAM Ratio to 1:1? If not, it could be because you are overclocking the ram as to why it isn't booting up.

I dont now how but I'm running now 510 FSB for ower 6 hours in prime95 with no errors, voltages are 1.28 on CPU, 1.18 NB and VTT 2.1.
Ram is working on 1020 so not even on stock (1066).

I will try to go higher.

No luck, over 515 (try eve 550 and 600) restarting all the time or long beeeeep, I try with low multipler X6 but no changes, try to set other divider to memory but no result, set more voltage on mem and higher timings no result. I increase NB to 1.45 and VTT to 1.35 CPU to 1.46 no results.

I belive that this CPU and NB GTL REF are important but how and when to change it thats the question.

I think i found reason of my issue, MEMORY. I started to test it in memtest86+ and after few minutes i have 250 errors. When I get replaicment I will let You know how Im doing.
Ok guys I have now OCZ Reaper PC2-9200 and another problem, I can't get this thing working.
On auto motherboard decting it as 667mhz and its fine windows is booting Prime without problems memtest too. If i set it on 800mhz it alright too, but if I want to push it higher mobo don't want to boot.
I've try like on the stickers timings 5.5.5.15 or 18 + 2.1 voltage mobo doesn,t boot on 1066 and 1150mhz.
Please help
