Well I got my M2600 up to 13@200 2600mhz at 34c, my cooling is a Zalman cnps7000, my system temp is 32c, ram xms 3200llpt 62222. I changed the fsb so it is now 11.5@225 2587.5mhz ram timings of 112222 vdim at 3.30 and the ram still wants more v. I could not go much higher with the fsb with out really high ram timings. I would like to get my fsb to 250, but with really tight timings. Also the 11 has seemed to make my internet much slower.

Also how do I take a clip of my computer screen so that I can be offical?

PS sorry for all the people that used water cooling:p
 
nice work. what kinda room temps you in (like 10C). and is that 34 full load or just idle
 
Full load is 37c, it is around 60+ degrees in the room.
Are there any suggestions on optimizing my ram timings or how to get everything stable at 250 FSB. Also would uping the voltage on my northbridge help? If so what should I start with and aim for?

:eek: 37C full load is awesome:eek:

i wouldnt really push much more than 3.3v through the ram (except for benching). the only way you'd reach 250 stable would be more relaxed timings or better ram. upping the nb voltage might help a bit but not that much. i, personally, have seen almost no benefits from upping the nb voltage
 
Give me some numbers for the Northbridge as mine is just at auto.

Also what ram do you suggest, I was thinking of getting some XMSll PC4000 and just droping the timings, but I want to have the tightest timings possible.
 
2-2-2-11 should be faster than 2-2-2-6 on NFII's i think. If you need more than 3.3V to do 225fsb at those timings, run 2.5-2-2-11 and you should get quite a bit of FSB headroom. I dont find 2.5 all that bad ;) Im sure the boost in FSB would help negate the latency gained.

That sounds odd to me! - 3,3V to do 225 1:1@2-2-2-11, mine does 250 1:1@2-2-2-5 with 3,3V (I know it's another type of memory, but still...)

How much volts run through the nb?
 
I have XMS 3200llPT

I droped the FSB so 12@216FSB and Ram 52222 The NB is at 1.9V
I brought the FSB all the way up to 247 and the best ram timing I could but it was slow and I have bad scores and my games where doing not so good, it was like the system was getting a back up. Now at 216 FSB and these rame timings it is much much faster than 225 or 247 and ect.
