Hey everyone, so I recently came into a P5W DH dlx and E6400 (L626A stepping) and some Geil 4 cas 800 MHz ram...So, I have been trying to overclock it.
So, I kinda sorta know I'll hit a wall on my MoBo before anything else, and that is why many people have switched over to the P5B boards. I can't make that switch right now, I could only afford what I got, so I have to make due. Now to my problem:
No matter what I try I can't post over 385 with Ram 1:1 (like 730 for the ram) and when I move to 4:5 ratio, I can get up to 390. Now, stability is another issue completely. I tested stability at 350 and Orthos failed
So right now I'm running FSB at 300 and am still not Orthos stable...even at such a low FSB. I've tried all sorts of vCores and have had no luck. Right now I'm at 1.44 vCore failing 300 FSB!!!!!!! People have gotten up to like 350 FSB at 1.3V core. What am I doing wrong?
Not even 30 seconds stable when everything is stock!!!!!
Time to do some sleuthing
