It begins...

Anything over 60c is a tad too high.

Have you read through the DS3/DS4 thread in Motherboards to check what to disable in the BIOS to help overclocking?
 
3.2GHz, 400FSBx8, RAM at 4:5 (hence 1000MHz) with timings 4-4-4-12. 27-33C idle, 59C load.

Can stay stable down to 1.425V


or:

3.36GHz, 420FSBx8, RAM at 1:1 (hence 840MHz) with timings 4-4-4-12. Not stability tested but windows "appears" to work. @ 1.5V



3.6GHz, 400FSBx9, RAM at 4:5 (hence 1000MHz) with timings 4-4-4-12. Not stability tested. Needed 1.6V (which generated 75C under load with 8x multiplier - 3.2GHz)

so 75C is ok for coretemp during Orthos????

Makes me unhappy to be honest.

Edit, memory is fine at 1GHz 4-4-4-12

I wouldnt want the temps to go over 55C. You need to turn the voltage down, its far to high on air, the temps are telling you that.
 
Currently running Orthos, Coretemp, CPUZ, Defrag (risky yes), and Spybot S&D on a scan loop simultaneously.

Temps are 57/59C @ 1.425V 400x8 = 3.2GHz, RAM at 1000MHz.

That's exactly what I did. And that's why I tested it at 3.2GHz with that voltage - which made me decide not to try it at 3.6GHz...

Looks like I'm "stuck" at 3.2GHz. Ah well, the RAM's still good!

Might try and get the RAM up to 1200 tomorrow... on a 1:3
 
To be honest, I'd just be happy to boot at 450FSB. I've tried with a multi fromom 6 - 9 to boot at that speed. I've set RAM from 1:1 to 4:5, I've set chipset, G(MCH) from +0.1 to +0.35, CPU from 1.325 to 1.600 - the thing will not boot at 450FSB.

In fact it won't boot at 435FSB with any combination of the above. It just drops the FSB back to 266 and boots up in "failsafe" mode.

And all the "frequency scaling" options are disabled as per the FAQ. Serial and Parallel port disabled and legacy USB disabled. F6 bios.
 
800Mhz overclock is damn nice! Wouldnt complain about that :)
just need to make sure it s prime stable.

Im going for the e6600 and cellshock pc8000 aswell :o
 
yea but maybe not on air :)

I wouldnt want temps going over 55c...

Allandales clock quite well due to the lesser cache than the Conroe

Well it's defo not the RAM holding it back. Suspect a weak mobo...

Im going for the EVGA nf680i when it comes instock, hope its as good as people say. I was going to get the DS4, thats ment to be a great board aswell.
 
Ignoring the fact you can't return it now under the Distance Selling Act as you've used the board, I don't think the 430MHz limit of you're board is going to be a problem on air as it means you'll be running at over 3.8GHz.
