3700+ cant hit 2700+MHz

[meaz]

Hi all,

Ive got the spec in sig and can't hit more than 2650MHz stable, 2700 for benchmarking but super pi will only run if its just under 2700MHz. If I set 2800 with clockgen it will just lock up straight away. This is with the vcore set at 1.5v.

I've tried running my RAM at 166mHz when the FSB is over 235 as this is what it tops out at..is it possible my mobo (an n force3 one) cant do over 246FSB stable? as I've tried upping the chipset voltage too.

thanks for any help

Could be motherboard - obvious thing but what is your ht - set it 3x.

Way to rule board out is to set cpu on low multi so clock speed is low and then push fsb up to see ahet max is for you board

thanks i'll try that, its currently on 4x ht.
