Hey everyone, I recently grabbed a SL-75FRN2-L for overclocking fun. I have a 1700+ TB JUICB, and I am trying to run it at a higher FSB/lower multiplier combo to bump up the memory bandwidth. Right now I am running 11X177, totally rock solid (SuperPi, Sandra burn in tested). If I drop it to 10.5x182 it will post, but will be a slightly lower clock speed (its 1.95Ghz right now).
The thing is when I drop the multiplier further to go up to an even higher FSB (beyond 182) the board drops the RAM speed down. I have DDR 400 ram, and I don't see why the board would do this. Up till 182 FSB the ram will run synronous with the FSB, but at 183 it will be dropped down to 150mhz....what the heck? I hear that the "aggresive" setting under the FSB adjuster in the bios is undesirable. Is this true?
Think the VDD voltage needs a jump? It's at default right now. Does the Vdimm voltage need to be raised as well? I can't seem to get posts on the processor much beyond where its sitting right now as far as speed goes. Perhaps this is simply the max (1.95-2 Ghz) output for the JUICB stepping (I'm at 1.8v Vcore)? Any help would be great, I'll keep you posted on what I can get this baby up too. I fear that my RAM is being looked at as DDR 2700 instead of 3200. Yikes.
Thanks!
