I tried 1.4 and it was more stable but I still got BSOD when I went past 2.9 ghz for some reason... I am not sure why. I added some voltage to the PLL, Northbridge, and Southbridge, and it would not get stable.
I am running the OCZ Vanquisher. Temps are a little high too, but I imagine its the AS5 slowly kicking in. Idling at 40 and max at 63 when the voltage is 1.4v.Don't take for granted that all M0's will do 3.0ghz on stock-voltage
1.4v isn't that high imho, you should be safe with that voltage. What cooling are you running?
And yes, there should be a FSB-divider in your BIOS.
It's under Jumperfree Configuration when in manual mode. You pick your FSB and you'll see the memory speed change. FSB=400 Memory=800(not sure the exact wording) is 1:1. If you + or - the memory you'll see it increase while applying different dividers. You won't see a divider value like 5/6, just the actual memory frequency. You cannot clock your memory slower than the FSB with this chipset, and most other Intels I believe.
Well you asked about where the divider was. You want more FSB, raise the value....... You don't pick your RAM speed and then FSB, you adjust your FSB and then get a selection of RAM speeds based on the which divider you're using, keep your FSB:RAM at 1:1 and worry about pushing the RAM higher later if possible. Play with the volts right now as suggested, but not every chip is a winner. My first E6600 wouldn't go over 3ghz no how. Second one I have now does pretty good.
