Yeah I would try it just to see what the ASUS software says.

I would really try to find out what sort of FSB the board and chip will let you have. Once you do that you will have a rough idea of how far the low-multi'ed quad will clock.

I'll try it now and see what it reports.

gah! I set it to 1.45 and its still reading 1.32 in the software. what the hell?

Any other progs to get a reading from it?

HW Monitor or PC Wizard.

Here is the the info hwmon says.

Odd. It should give you a lot more info than that. My Abit IP35 Pro -

 

[wsgroves]

Yea I thought so too. I even tried the second program you listed and it gave me the same results.

 

[wsgroves]

Something fishy is going on. I tried to manually set the cpu voltage as well and it will not take either.

-edit update-
just installed the newest 5.x bios and that fixed it. I can adjust the voltages manually now.

I gave the NB some volts and tried 450 but it was a no go cob. Looks like imma be stuck at 3.6 lol/

X48 is 90nm and needs high NB voltage for high quad-core FSB. To say that it will do 500mhz on a 45nm quad at 1.3-1.4v NB is quite ridiculous tbh. VTT needs to be kept below 1.4v, and PLL needs to be kept below 1.6v.

Does this also apply to the X38 chipset?

 

[Cob]

The first 2 sentences do. The last one refers to 45nm chips on any chipset.
