Hey all, anyone able to get a 466 FSB (1864) w/ a 680i mobo? I have read that some of the new P35 chipsets can/have done it, but has anyone been able to do this w/ a 680i board? EVGA A1 is what I have, am hoping to run 1:1 w/ ram 900-ish and the cpu at 466*8.

This is going to be w/ a 3210 g0 or maybe even a q6600 (they have unlocked multi? or have ot use 9x?)

Thanks.

The Q6600 does not have an unlocked multi, it is capped at 9, I'm pretty sure the X3210 is capped at 8...

my current 3220 B3 chip lets me change the multi. Capped at 9 mean the max it goes is 9? or the only multi Ican select is 9 (or 8 in the 3210's case)?
 
Ok, so both the Q6600 and the X3210 let you change the multi from 6-9 and 6-8 respectively?
 
Ok cool, has anyone been able to get a 450-466x8 w/ either the Q6600 or the X3210 on an EVGA 680i SLi board?
 
Well, if you use a Q6600 you don't need that high of a FSB speed with the 9x multiplier. 400FSB nets you 3.6Ghz which most on air are ending up around.

If you run it 1:1 that is, which you should aim for.

Above 9 x 400 (3.6) you'll start running into voltage (v-core) and core temp challenges....anyways 3.6 on a quad is pretty decent for a 24 x 7 setup
 
I am going w/ a WC'd setup w/ a 3x1200mm rad which (at this point) is dedicated to the CPU. I don't think heat will be an issue for 466x8. I am just hoping to have my ram oc'd a little bit, but even 400x9 is excellent if I can get some real tight timings. So 400x9 is pretty easy in the g0 versions?

I MAY be able to get anothr 8800GTX and if I do, then I will WC those as well (as well as adding another rad to the loop, 2x120 prob). That is still about a month away before that decision happens.

Remember heat is not the only parameter that you need to manage....voltage to your CPU can also be a barrier, hopefully your CPU will have low VID
