Does it have overclocking potential

mine requires 1.39v to do 3.8ghz stable, but i have a lower VID on mine (1.1625v) so yours may need a little more (450x8.5)

I'm also using an asus p5e-vm hdmi motherboard and some g-skill pc8000 ram, unsure as to whether the board is better or not, but my ram certainly isn't holding me back.

Boots at 4.2ghz mine, and i can get a nice solid 490fsb stable out of this board =)
 
how can you tell if ram is holding you back?
I have done another stock test to give temperatures, which program should i trust?

I am setting ratio to 1.1.50 (.50 = 1066/800 ram on my mobo)
Upped the FSB by 50 and it didnt boot

The ram voltage was 1.8 so put it at 1.9 and still no change
The timing on the ram at auto was 5-x-x-x- and is meant to be 4-4-4-12 so i chaged that

Should i update the bios? only problem is i have an ipod if that would work and no floppy drive :(
 
Ehh... what is your RAM?
If it's 6400, then its default FSB is 400mhz
If you have used 1:1 ratio, that will mean for ram to be running non overclocked at all with its 400fsb your CPU will be running at 400x9.5= 3.8ghz.
yet you said you OCed to 2.7 and it was running at 950mhz ?


Anyways try this settings:
Ram timings: 4-4-4-12
ram voltage: 2.0v
CPU FSB: 333
CPU multiplier: 9.5
Ratio: 1-1 ( meaning ram will be at 667 )
CPU voltage: 1.35v

Not sure how your mobo shows the settings but play around with it so you get exactly
what i said on CPU Z.


If this doesn't work then definitely you do something wrong.
 
i was increasing fsb by 10/20 and stress testing via orthos blend and all temps were below 55/60 in all programs and when i loaded into windows i got an unrecoverable error that said i had to repair windows and repair didnt work so i had to format :(

grrrrr :(

Also what am i doing wrong when i restart because it doesnt post yet when i press power off then back on it posts just fine? its like the restart button in windows wont let my system work, its still orthos blend testing for an hour stable tho had it to 3.4 so far

Click to expand...

Set it to 1.1...

Currently your ram runs at 266x1.5 = 400mhz (stock without ANY clocking) when you up the fsb you are increasing the ram clock too, so set the ram to 1.:1 ratio and clock away =)
 
i have its 1.1.50 on the motherboard
i can only set the ram in increments to my fsb of cpu
ie
1.1.25 = 1066/600
1.1.50 = 1066/800
1.x.xx = 1333/600
x.x.xx = 1333/800

The problem is my system doesnt boot on a restart but when i press the power button it does
 
Mines currently doing 3.04Ghz, 325x9.5 with 1.1125 vcore in bios, 1.072 loaded in windows.

Ram is doing about 802Mhz (i cant remember) with 5-5-5-18 as my timings, i will reduce these later.
