Just tried it, allows alittle more o/c, but now I can set the memory to 5.5.5.12. Now @ 465 fsb, and superpi 32 is faster by almost 2mins. Will post screenie later

Hey Servo, what RAM are you using? I've got the XMS2 6400C5 but can only get a 340fsb because of it, the timings are 5-8-8-24, if I tighten them will I be able to push a similar fsb to you?

Hope you don't mind me posting Servo

Servo is using the Geil Value pc 5300 ram

Wow. What voltage? Mine's running at 1.8V but with timings of 5-8-8-24 :eek:

gam3r · 11 Aug 2006 at 14:53

He told me 0.3+ voltage on the dimm. I'm running 0.2+voltage on the dimm (puts my ram at 2v) for 3ghz.

My ram is also pc5400. Your ram should be able to do 3ghz. Try adding more volts to ram if you haven't already mate.

gam3r is correct, +.3 and now testing at 5.4.4.12. but I'm sure they will fail at them setting. I'm going to settle on 460 fsb 5.5.5.12, or 4.6.6.20.

Lol I can't make my mind up. I'm sure the cpu has loads more o/c left in it, but I'm pushing the ram way over their stable limits.

470fsb is semi stable, meaning I can get them stable. but using silly settings, 5.8.8.20

gam3r · 11 Aug 2006 at 15:29

i'm amazed your ram goes that far :eek:

Servo, that ram looks very sweet, just flashed to F4e bios, was using F4a bios before with zero issues at all so hopefully the f4e will be just as stable.

Got to admit I really like this Gigabyte board, seems very stable and clocks my conroe so easily.
