I've got the FSB at 1800 - linked/sync'd and 1.4 volts going to the FSB. 1.367v on the CPU in the BIOS with vdroop. I'll double check when I get home.
I'm a total noob to overclocking - just kind of guessing what would work and reading up on what others have done. Seems to be stable playing games for hours on end, CPU idles at ~35* C or less after letting it sit for 15 min or so. Up to about 57 *C playing FSX maxed out.
It's interesting that I don't really see a gain from o/c'ing while playing games - the most notable difference I've been able to see is the substantial reduction in micro-stutters while flying in FSX. I thought I'd see gains in Crysis from o/c'ing my video card - but it still gets about identical average FPS in the Crysis benchmark compared to stock settings - maybe 2-3 fps higher avg. I guess that's a decent gain given it's an average.
You can turn off the VDroop. You have 1.4 to the NB but didnt mention the Mem voltage. Set it a the fac settings both vol and timings. Up the bus to 1820 check stability, push it to 1840 check stability..... when un stable back to lst stable setting then increase by 1/2 (ie instead of a 20 increase try 10) check stable, increase again.
Also I cringe when I see any voltage over 1.325
YOu will elarn from trial and error and reading and a ton of math and you will at some point get the same clocks with less voltage but using other BIOS settings to make the system stable.
OOPS tis thread has been hijacked bad us
