P5W64 WS Quick Overclock at 4 Gigs

The Asgard · 26 Oct 2006 at 00:21

Hi,
Just a quick play with this board not had much time but so far very impressed.

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=132860

With my Week 29 I hit 4050 at 1.5 volts. 450 FSB. Need to do some more testing and I have a week 31 that seems to do over 4G at low voltage. Memory scores are around 9000 with Sandra.

Add to drop the divider for this OC.

Sorry its a quicky but I'm tired

People are getting some great overclocks with this board - it's a shame we can't do the same on the Crossfire version

Crossfire version? P5W64 is 975X chipset.

The Asgard: What other voltage settings are you using for that?

DAMN! - That's brill - Have u stress tested? What are your temps? and what cooling are u using?

Thanks

Hi,
It was a bit hectic last night so it was just a case of whack the MCH to 1.8 and I left everything else at default on the chipset. I also booted into Windows at 460. Didn't really check for Orthos stability. The board seems to overvolt by 0.05

CPU voltage read 1.5 with 1.45 in the bios.

not bad, nice to see 4Ghz from a 6600, take your using the waterkit for that?

is the temps ok?

I take it you mean you had to drop the divider, how did you do that on this board?

PA120.3, AquaXtreme MP-05 ....... Just cooling the CPU but I do have a northbridge block but the 2 loops look a bit naff for securing the block. Not sure about the temps.

Week 29 & 31 look good chips for 4G's. Will have a play again tonight.

What chipset settings are good for high stable FSB? Obviously MCH to max but .....

memory divider m8

I realise you mean mem divider, but where is it. I have looked at the board and all you can do is choose what type of mem you have, are you just dropping to a lower setting there for your divider. I cannot find mem timings at all?

Below/Above the FSB Setting

Is this with the same cpu as previous boards?

Any chance of a compare?

The Asgard · 27 Oct 2006 at 12:13

I used this cpu on my Badaxe which topped out around 420-425.

Still not had time to have a good play yet.

Can you post your bios settings so I can compare as I have a very similar setup but with very different results. I have the latest bios but I get different readings almost evry tome I reboot. Memory changes settings constantly, which bios are you using?

nice chip mate
