399 Fsb Wall? What Next

Timmy Boy, what are you doing here? haha... I see you've been OCing that chip quite well. Congrats on the oc. I'm quite impressed. Good thing you didn't waste your money on an ASUS mb.

Darn right

sounds like too low of chipset voltage, and the strap is changing on the chipset as well. thats why the 15mhz jump works and the 1mhz jump fails.

thats what i am thinking. I mean, 400 was just nothing. No anything. Even with higher voltage it was like not having a cpu in the board. And I guess getting the FSB up to 399 and the chip to almost 3.2GHz on stock voltage was nice. Asking for more is greedy.

did you boost stock voltage on the cpu or on the north bridge?

 

i'd try 1.4v on the cpu, 1.45v north and see if 420 works :thumbs-up:, also how are the temperatures looking under load?

Temps were ok, I got it up to 3.3+GHz and load temps were at 52/53. I actually got the computer too boot at 3.4GHz, but it was shaky (the ram was just very unhappy, and fair enough, it was working way over its head).

 

I turned it back down to a 399FSB which gets me 3.19GHz and only 1 notch about stock voltage, and its stable (8 hour orthos, which is enough for me).

 

I think I will stay here until I get higher rated Ram.

 

 

Thanks for the help.
