what? by 90mhz lol

what makes you think the multiplier makes a difference to his fsb

if he can do 531fsb x 7 stable then he can 531 x 8 the same (if his cpu can handle it)

either way the p5b carries the highest fsb so far period :D!

Not quite, my P5B wont even do 445x9 when clockgened yet it does 500x8 and 544x7 until my ram flaked out, Im guessing it would have gone to 571ish as all 3 multi's seem to get you to the same max Mhz


It does have the highest FSB but its not improved my 4130Mhz on my P5W. I did a few benchmarks yesterday and my scores are always lower than my P5W even though the FSB and ram are running way faster due to the loose 1333 strap.

interesting, i just spoke to your buddy :p s_b, and he confirmed 531x8
orthos stable. Reckons that heat is the issue at high clocks.
Hes comparing air and phase below.

Was any of your 4Ghz clocks on the p5w (as ez says "prime") stable, maybe its worth trying the
3.94 in your sig (9 x 438) with the same settings to see if there is a problem elsewhere.
(i cant be bothered checking your past posts lol)


With sub-zero cooling, I could run Orthos at 531X8.

As someone hinted in that thread, heat plays a role in maximum FSB. Cooler running chips will usually get higher FSB. With air cooling, I can boot into Windows at 536FSB. With my Vapochill, I can boot up at 555+ FSB.
 
either way 8 x 531 stable (done & dusted) :D

see if you can sort your stuff, im sure you can do it (if your cpu is up to it lol).

I should have kept my ES 6600, knowing my luck id probably be stuck in
between yours and er's 3.94 & 3.82 ;)

Have you read the post?

He can only get gaming stable at 3.6ghz.

Anyone with a P5B at 500 FSB with a E6600 is talking BS!


Devious was a screen shot,

Not stable and as he has said himself he could only get the P5B stable at 3.6ghz

hi, been looking around the forums over last couple of days and it seems that this is true but also untrue....

There is a possibility that the mobo can reach and be stable as long as your running the pci-e at 16x not 1x

the chips can handle the fsb with out any problem, and the ram, even our g skill can handle 500+ without any problem...

this could make it work with games...

sorry if this has been covered but just felt like sayin sommert,,:)

Inital testing of the new rev P5W will start tonight :p
 
good good fingers crossed.

i always think the 1.65v on the nb is rather low, for both the p5w & p5b

let us know how the 1.85v does, i might try modding / destroying my board :p
 
Might as well throw my recent clocking experience onto the pile

I got hold of an e6600 and an Asus P5W DH from MM, and bought a scythe ninja and 2Gb Geil 6400 low latency to go with it.

I've settled on 390fsb (3.51Ghz) at 1.45v as a nice stable 24/7 clock (temps always stay under 60C). I can run at 3.6 fairly well at sensible voltages, but it doesn't like it when I dual-prime. I need 1.55v to get it completely stable, and at that voltage my core temps can go close to 70C under full load.

Unfortunately this motherboard is a bit of a dog. I can only run my memory at SPD settings over 360fsb, so that means I'm stuck at 5-6-6-18 timings when the memory is rated for 4-4-4-12. Also, I have to run the memory at 1:1 as the board is unstable with 4:5 at these fsb speeds. I know the memory is fine as it runs in 1:2 at 266mhz fsb (so 1033mhz) no problems. I'm using the 1305 BIOS and as I understand it there's not much I can do to get round these issues, but if anyone has any fixes I'd love to hear em...

One weird thing tho, I can't run two simultaneous copies of super-pi. Even at stock speeds, if I have one running and attempt to open a second it will give me the 'not convergent in sqr05' message immediately. Is this normal? If so, how do you guys do double super-pi runs?



This is what I got from the system:

1M is done at 3.72Ghz, 8M at 3.7Ghz and I think I did the 32M at 3.6Ghz to test stability with 1.5v.

Anyway, that's it. This conroe setup is awesome, and clearly craps on the opty146 @ 3Ghz which I had before. Just need to get a new card in there and all will be well :) I've had this 7800GTX a while now and it's feeling old...

Lol just realised my cpu is idleing at 30 with my tuniq at full power, and 34 with it running silently. Quality stuff...... Il seee what load temps are later and will push my overclock back towards 3.6ghz as im willing to feed it over 1.5V now.

Il try feeding my Team ram 2.45V and seeing if i can drop the timings much more :D

Thats a nice clock for a 6300
