This is my first OC ever. I've been running this OC for a few weeks now with no problems, just after your comments really, mainly in my method, but also what I can do to take it further. I'm finding this very stable and it seems to have set free my 7800GTX slightly, which is a bonus.
To summarise my settings are:
260 x10 @ 1.33v (PC Probe II) with 166 divider on the RAM to put it near to its rated DDR438 speed with its stock tight timings of 2.0-3-2-6 and 1T. My BIOS Vcore voltage is actually set to 1.3v but this MB adds on a bit for some reason. HTT is set to 4x to keep it around 1000, just over (as from what I can see, there's no performance gain OC'ing this at all).
Memtest+ passes all tests, as does Super PI, 3DMark06 and extended sessions of HL2 with everything to the max.
Temps are 43 degrees CPU and 42 degrees MB idle, 46/43 degrees load.
I tinkered with 2.7GHz, but found this to require quite a bit of voltage increase - I decided to go back to 2.6 before I managed to stablise this. TBH I'm happy with this.
Does anyone have any experience with how fast the Corsair 3500LL can go up to with 2.0-3-2-6 1T timings? Rated is 219 (438MHz).
