Maybe I am missing a detail and you can point me to the right direction
My Hardware is
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0
Cooler: Some Big Chinese Cupper Cooler with Fan
MB: Asus P5KPL-e chipset G31
Mem: 2 x 2G 800MHz Kingston
VGA: Macy Nvidea 512 MB (GPU 450 MHz, Mem 700 MHz, DDR2)
Power Supply: 420 W (heavy one)
So far I reduced voltages Vcore to get minimun disipation, about 1.18 V.
I put PCIE freq fixed to 100 MHz. My Bios dont have FSB: MEM ratio. Instead it has and entries for FSB freq and Mem freq separated, a little more convenient.
I put mem Fixed to 800 MHz. Its voltage also fixed to 1.8V as says the memory datasheet.
The North bridge voltage also at minimum 1.5V.
There is a CPU PLL voltage I am not sure what is for, also works at minimum (not auto)
So far it works great at 2.4 GHz, 1060 FSB, 800 MHz mem. Boots perfectly and I can run Prime95 for long time below 40 celsius degrees measured with coretemp. Like factory settings.
My board support 1333 MHz FSB so it is not difficult, with a little increase of CPU voltage to manage the system to reboot and get back to the BIOS setup with out any problem.
FSB 1332 MHz and CPU freq 2.999 Ghz.
Temperature is Ok according to MB monitor, below 40 degrees without any stress. I have low room temperature.
As soon as I leave BIOS setup and it tries to boot from disk. It may get further or not but eventually crashes before vista loads completely.
I have read here that PCI freq (not just PCIe) freq is very important for onboard Sata controller and must be 33 MHz.
So far I can not find a related option in my BIOs for it. I do have read all around that this is very important.
Have your ever ran into a similar problem?
Is there anything else I am missing?
Thanks in advance!
