Hi guys,

Need a spot of help trying to get my E3110 to 4GHZ really, I mean we can get it there, but its not very stable. It likes to either 'blue screen of death' at windows start-up or crash mid-game (which was running stable on the old proc).

Anyway, my specs are:

E3110 C0 stepping
ASUS P5B deluxe
4GB Crucial Ballistix 240-pin DIMM (part number BL2KIT12864AA663)
BFG 8800GTS
Corsair HX520W Modular PSU.

Ive taken some screen shots of my BIOS settings, can anyone see anything obviously wrong here?:

Any help would be much apreciated guys!

Thanks,

EDIT: Gah, pics should be working now...

try
1.35-1.4 termination
1.4-1.5 nb

the p5b likes vNB especially with 4x1gb....try to drop the multi first on the cpu to 7 and get your target fsb stable...i'd go for a nice even 450

and once you raise the multi back to 9x you should need less vcore....hopefully 1.4 or less

Watch out for the dreaded PCI x1 Link Width bug on the P5B. As you increase the NB volts my old P5B would drop the PCI to x1 instead of x16.

This was the reason I finally ditched the P5B. I guess not all boards are equal but keep an eye on the PCI link with CPUID as you increase the volts

where is this option in the BIOS? and whats it called? because I cant see a PCI multiplier in there.

EDIT: Ignore, I see

Ok, Im out of ideas, Ive tried every combination i can think of. putting the NBV up to 1.55 helped it stay stable for a bit longer. the trouble is I cant up it anymore because then it does PCI x1.

I have taken a matched pair of ram sticks out and tested it on both pairs seperatly and still get same. Tried different ram voltages - no help.

Its stable when i turn the core multiplyer down (as suggested) to anything but 9. For some reaseon windows still thinks it runs at 4GHZ when its 444x8.

Anyway, Im fresh out of ideas. Heres a screen shot of cpu-z to clarrify.

woo, ok it *seems* to be stable now at 444x9 1.475(bios) vcore 1.448(cpu-z). hopefully i can leave it at this without causing damage.
