Overclock / Temps

[!ender_]

So far I feel that things have turned out well. The system tests solid at these settings, I'm mainly just curious to see if anyone has a suggestion as to where I could go from here.

 

*also* Im not interested in pushing my FSB much higher, mainly im looking for advice on the ram tweaking. At its current speed, the ram has not tested stable with any timing adjustments, even to 5-5-5-15 i had to bump up the voltage to 2.18, and the benchmarks didnt show enough to warrant the voltage.

That memory is rated to run at 2.2 v isn't it? So, you're really not "bumping up" your voltage on your RAM. You are running it below spec. That might partially explain your memory instability.

 

I'm running an X38 and a Q6600. Roadrunner helped me out a few days ago by telling me that my MCH might be happy around +.05 to .075 and my FSB might like a setting somewhere around +.1 or +.15 when getting the FSB frequency up there a ways.

 

Even though you said you don't want to, you might consider a different approach. If you drop your multi to 8, you can have a go around the same CPU frequency at 8 X 420 or so for 3360 mhz or so. You might find a sweet spot in the memory dividers running your FSB a20 to 25 above 400 rather than 25 mhz below 400.
