I am waiting for a replacement board after a bad BIOS flash left me high and dry.
I had just got the system up and running and it only lasted a day
The new board is due in the next few days and I am thinking I should plan ahead and try to work out the best settings for overclocking in advance.
I have a custom cooling tower with multiple rads, silent 5V 120mm fans and two cooling loops (the main one using an Iwaki pump) and the GFX, RAM, chipset and CPU (as well as the main SCSI drives) are all liquid cooled.
The gear is the Asus P5WDG2-WS Professional board (Intel 975), CPU is the Q6600 and the RAM is 4 x 1GB OCZ Flex 9200.
The CPU utilises a silver TDK, the chipset uses the Danger Den cooler and the RAM is liquid cooled in the secondary loop.
The GFX is only an 1800XL (liquid cooled of course).
My first Intel in seven years!
I was getting about 40C idle temp at stock when I installed for the day...
I am thinking I should go for 400FSB to yield 3.6Ghz...
Any recommendations on the most likely viable settings for core voltage, MB voltage etc?
RAM settings? The RAM should be comfortable at high speeds with the cooling but 400 FSB at 1:1 would be too much. I assume the 1066 base speed is 4x266...
Anyone have experience overclocking on this board?
There does seem to be a PCI-E and PCI frequency lock, which is vital for my SCSI set up on the PCI-X as I doubt the card would tolerate an out of spec PCI bus...
THANKS
