New Build score

That's pretty darn good! Now you should have plenty of headroom, heatwise, to increase the FSB frequency even more. I can't get stable at 3.4Ghz, let alone 3.5Ghz. :(
I think i'm going to have to drop my multiplier and leave the FSB at 400Mhz or something, and see how it goes.

yeh i hope so, 3.2ghz would be nice. So pleased with these temps though. I thought the infinity was crap on my old system but it seems to be pulling its weight with this one! Got to go to work now so won't be able to do much more today :(
 
Hm seemed to hit a wall at 3.2. tat strees test works fine, but orthos cpu/mem blend test blue screens on me after 2 seconds.

I think the culprit is the ram because it would have been running at 920mhz instead of its stock 800mhz. Upping the cpu voltage to 1.4 didnt help either.
Testing orthos no at 3080mhz. I just wish there was a lower multiplier than 2.0 for the ram. something like 1.6/1.8. I hope gigabyte release this in a new bios version or something. I could try loosening timings or upping ram voltages i suppose, i just don't want to damage it :confused:
 
What timings do you have the memory at right now? Also, what voltage is it rated to run at? You might have to increase the vCore up more than that. Try 1.45v and see if it helps at all. I had mine at 1.5v earlier just to get stable at 3.45Ghz. I think the memory frequency has to be equal to, or more than, that of the CPU's FSB. So, if your FSB frequency is 450Mhz, say, your memory frequency would have to be at least 450Mhz, too. 'Annoying, i know, which means the capability of your memory can easily become a limiting factor in your overclock if it isn't a very good overclocker.

hm, yeh i think it may be.Timings are 5-5-5-18,But just doesnt seem to want to go over 900mhz. Would be nice to see a 1.8 multiplier though (keeping the same speed as the fsb but on multiplying it by 1.8), would that be possible in a future bios release?If not it looks like i am stuck at 3100mhz ish.Oh well not bad for a £85 chip to reach higher than an x6800 costing £500+ :p .

Will either have to fiddle with timings or mem volatges and if not, jsut get some pc8500 or better in the future.

temps are still great though. not going over 43 on orthos load, and yet to add an exhaust fan on the heatsink.
