Thanks for your info.
I am getting some results now.
I set the RAM timings manually as you suggested.
My CPU VID is 1.3V by the way.
I have disabled C1E and EIST but they didn't seem to affect the CPU VID anyway (monitored in CoreTemp). I was under the impression that with C1E and EIST enabled that the CPU VID would change when under load (Prime95) compared to idle but it didn't. Why is this?
Currently these are my settings....
Clock 320
Multiplier X9
CPU Clock is currently 2.885GHz
DRAM 1:1.25 (800MHz)
Core temps under load (Small FFTs) are 57, 48, 48, 57.
It appears to be perfectly stable.
I intend to up the External Clock to 333 next and leave the RAM divider as it is (that will give 833MHz RAM).
Let's see what happens (will report straight back)......
What should I do next if it is happy at 333?
PS all voltages are still at stock.
EDIT: BSOD just before reaching Windows!
Should I up the CPU VID one notch or more? One notch takes me to 1.3125V. I did this but still had a BSOD so I have taken it up 2 notches to 1.325V and now it boots.
