Your ram should be running 1:1 w/the fsb(running in sync). Thus, the higher you raise your fsb, the higher your score will be. There's no point for your fsb to be at 133mhz, but your memory at 166 or 200mhz(using that as just an example)

Also, try setting your ram to the more agressive settings(cas 2 instead of 2.5). That will give you a higher score.

maybe you're reaching the chips limit? If so, try unlocking it. Lower multipliar and raise fsb

Click to expand...

I think it's b/c of the pits that are between the bridges. You have to fill that with super glue first(which is what I did), then connet the L1 bridges seperatly(conductive paint or defogger paint sold at auto stores)

I used the crayon/deffoger trick. 5 minutes. After you do that, lower the multi to a really low number and raise the fsb straight to 166. Taht's what I did and it's running awesome.
