First off my Specs:
Core 2 Duo 6400 3.3Ghz @ 1.25volts
Biostar T-Force P965PT
GSkill 2x1GB DDR 800
Enhance 500W PSU
Stock HSF (Big Typhoon on the way)
So am on my third major overclock now and have a very good understanding of how it works. So I start off the overclock on this new build going up in jump of 10 on the FSB. It turns out that I hit a huge wall at 310 FSB at first. I switched to to another custom bios that people were hitting up to 520MHZ with (Rebel's Haven) and was able to make it to 330 FSB before I hit another huge wall. So after some reading on XS I found that some others were having this same problem not passing 330-370FSB.
So I found that there is a GAP in the FSB that doesn't work. I pushed it straight to 400FSB, and to my surprise, it started right up at all stock voltages. I was not able to keep it Orthos Prime stable no matter what things I tried with timings or voltages. I then tried once again a bump to 405 FSB and it is now 100% Orthos Prime stable at stock voltages for the last 6 hours.
I tested and it wont boot anywhere from 330 - 399 FSB. Anybody else find it strange that a larger FSB made it actually more stable? I guess it is a software problem and needs to be adressed.
3.3GHZ @ 1.325Volts (stock HSF with window open for now)
DDR 810 @ 1.9volts
Anyways, hope to help anybody else out there having problems or thinking about P965 chipset.
So....You all like my Overclock on all stock voltages?
