Hi everyone,

could it be that there is a bug in the Max 3 limiting me to a max 250FSB.

I run my 3.0 @ 3.75 with 250FSB on 1.55V

Anything above 250 is not perfectly stable for hours.

PS: Thanks for any ideas.

PS: Hardware

Vapochill PE
Max3 BIOS 13
3.0C
2x512 MB Kingston HyperX 3500
Watercooling 9800 Pro and i875p

i can run my max3 stable at 250mhz and higher

what kind of cooling are you using and what temps are you getting at idle and when running seti?

you might need more voltage to your cpu or to try a diffrent mem ratio
