have been quiet for a bit now testing my rig. have a couple comments.
Sen -
Are you running 1.36beta? If so, I can go up to 1.7 -~1.8V with it.. Possibly trying setting your Cpu Vid manually to 1.4, and then use the percent to get more. Also, you can only enable or disable Spread Spectrum while the FSB is set to 200 or 205 but it only opens up on those FSBs. Once you are able to set it, you can change it to what you want, and it stays that way no matter what FSB. Make sure your AGP is set to 67. If it isn't, the PCI is not truely locked, and you will run into problems. Once I hit 295, I was forced to change that.
It appears this board doesn't like Hynix memory at anything other than 1:1. 1:1 it will push it for all it's got, but things get quirky fast when you go to 5:6 or 2:3 or 1:2.
Currently I am at work and my machine is priming at
[email protected]. The CPU tops out between 2.65ghz and
[email protected]. But finding the nice balance with my memory is what I am trying to do. My rails on my PS are hurting bad (12V is 11.5 right now) and my new Fortron 530 comes in today, so I will see if that helps me.
Glad to see you got your system rocking. That 3Dmark01 score is outstanding.
I am going to try the paste trick as well. my core gets up to 56 once in a while, and I don't like that. I applied it all over the top like you did, so maybe that will buy me 1 or 2C.
Good luck!
John
