FSB?

recently got myself this board https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-277-AS for my q6600

now im at 3.6ghz @ 1.440 volts in cpuz

i was wanting to go for 4.0ghz

but my rated fsb in cpuz = 1600

have i hit the most this motherboard can handle?

no.

nice helpful answer!
OP, what temps are you getting? what are the bios settings like?

decrypt3r · 26 Oct 2008 at 11:58

dram = 2.1v
cpu = 1.375 bios - 1.432 cpuz [losest volt i can get to]
fsb = 401
pcie = 100
multi = 9

clock = 3600mhz

have not change NB or FTT at all!

auto!

all rest = auto

running 100% stable with good temps

ok you need to set the following

FSB to Northbrige Strap: 333mhz
NB: try: 1.24 to start with may need to go to 1.3
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.3 (keep this above NB but not more than .6 above)
CPU PLL: 1.5
PCI-E: 101
Enable Loadline Calibration

You are going to be hard pressed to keep that CPU cool with an AC7 under prime small fft load at anything over 3.6ghz

im buying a true this weekend

thanks mate,

i forgot i already have FSB to Northbridge Strap: 333mhz and loadline enabled

also why should i increase NB and FTT when system is 100% stable?

or will this be needed for 4ghz?

and whats different between 100 and 101 pcie?

you said you had them on auto.. so always best to set them.. if you are stable at lower then no need to increase them.. those were guesstimates as to what you would need

101 PCI-E i find is more stable

wasnt 2nd guessing you mate

im just wanting to learn to help others

okay ive done what u said but left NB and FTT at auto default as im stable at 3.6

also i have https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-096-OC

set at 1:1 with 4-4-4-15 running 400mhz with 3600mhz cpu

should i make it 4-4-4-12? and what i notice better performance?

if your wanting to go further there's no point overclocking your ram now.
but anyway, i find tighter timings are better than brute mhz.

think im gona stick at 3.6ghz

i got a nice stable clock here

400mhz memory running 1:1

and temps below 65c loads with arctic now

and buying a nice true cooler on weekend

that should keep me going for a while so i can save for the 4870x2
