Hey everybody, I hope someone has some advice for me. The highest I can get on my system is 216FSB. Ive got the voltages on the CPU at 1.5v, the memory at 2.7v. Ive tried a 5:4 ratio on the FSB:memory, nothing. I locked the PCI and the PCIe to their defaults, still nothing. Ive loosened memory latencies, nothing. Everything is 110% stable at 216, but I cant boot at 217. All my temps are well within limits. It seems that I've hit a brick wall.
I just replaced my DFI 915P-TAG with an Abit AG8, thinking that the mobo had something to do with the problem, as the DFI was sort of cheap-o. That fact that the "wall" appears to be at the default speed for my memory makes me think that it might have something to do with the problem, but when I run it well below spec with a 5:4 ratio and it still doesnt boot (but does boot at 216FSB with the 5:4), im really wierded out. Did I get a bad CPU or what is the deal?!?!
