OC with Corsair Twin 8500 CL5

maybe this board needs much voltage mch/fsbv from 350 to 360fsb

 

That could be. It doesn't make much sense regarding the MCH but the FSBV is tied to the MCH on this board and not on other boards so it is a bit of an anomaly.

 

If it works, then you have found the way around it. That CPU should easily make 3.4 - 3.6Ghz as long as you have good cooling. I'm interested in seeing if it makes 380 X 9 = 3.42Ghz.

 

:D:

may its a crap board other intel xbx2/chipsets may be better for higher overclocking. i´ll stay on 350fsb. tested 370fsb and there is no way to stay 1min in windows without a reboot and i wouldn´t go on 1,7mch or 1,6 for fsb its to risky.

There's nothing wrong with that clocking. Your bus will not be saturated at 3.2Ghz. What's your DRAM at now?

 

ok i´m back to 350FSB dram is on 266/667@437mhz - 2,2v

if i go to 266/800@526mhz i get bsod or reboot in windows i thought these rams can make 1066mhz?

max in the bios to set is 800mhz for the ram

 

Right, you've got the Intel BX2. Your board does not support 1066Mhz natively. And strap issues can be messing it up higher than 800. Can you test this DRAM in a board that actually supports 1066Mhz DRAM? Reboots can be strap issues. Have you even tested with memtest at 1053MHz?

can test it next week in my new asus board.

not yet can test it later with memtest @1053mhz when i go out to work

Its an excellent board for moderate OC´s, the most stable 975 board of them all, but it can be a little tricky so one needs to be systematic. Theres an excellent 171 page thread over at xtremesystems.org with ALOT of useful information/experiences well worth the read if you own a xbx2.

thx for the info i´m registered there since one year. I bought my board last year regarding to this forum.

 

i think this board didn´t right handle these rams @ 360FSB i have still strap issues at 1333mhz strap after 17min exactly at 1:1 divider when I change on 1066mhz strap i get after 2min error @ 1:1 devider at low ram settings

 

and there are still no dram errors in memtest after 8passes

I'll be interested in the results.

 

Hi DerekT, new system is halve ready with these rams no problems on boot:biggrin:

 

Will test tomorrow with these G0 Q6600 on watercooling on the asus maximus SE board. Ram watercooler arrive next week (hopefully)

I look forward to your results :)

 

Hi DerekT,

 

ok first time system is ready but i´m a bit unhappy with my temps on the watercooling system:mad:

 

350fsb all stock temp is:

CPU ->PCPRobe2 = 62°

CPU ->Core Temp = Core 1+2 = 60, Core 2+3 = 46°

NB = 48°

SB = 45°

MB = 47°

 

vcore=1.34

 

Bridge is also watercooled
