I have an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe, currently using a P4 2.6C (probably will be swapped for an EE eventually), and I have it running at 3055 MHz (235 FSB). I can't do 240 FSB, because Prime95 gives me errors, although I can manage 250 FSB and play UT2K4 and Doom 3 with no apparent problems. I use a 5:4 FSBDR ratio because above 220 FSB, I get programs crashing if I use 1:1. My vCore is currently set at 1.6V. It seems to handle that fine, but when I try 1.625, it won't even POST. I don't even get any beeps or anything upon trying to boot. At 1.6V, my CPU is currently running at 113 degrees idle, 140 degrees load. That's a bit hot but I should still have some head room. I picked up a Thermalright SP-94, a 92mm Vantec Tornado (I love that thing, really powerful), a Swiftech MCX-159, and Microcool heatsinks for southbridge, PLLs and MOSFETs, so I'll put them on when I get a chance, since right now I'm still using stock cooling. Anyone know why I can't POST with 1.625 vCore? I'd like to try 1.65 vCore and see if I can't hit 250 FSB stable that way. I'm pretty new at this, so if you think I'm doing something wrong, let me know.
