Here are my current bios settings. Boot at 585fsb without issues...good stability in windows (passes a few rounds of prime95). Setfsb gets it to 594 before windows freezes.
tia for taking a look and (as always) welcome ideas, guidance, etc
Thanks!
UPDATE: The moocow sticks got here today (thank you again moocow). At the same settings as listed below (except for the ram which I set to it's default of 8-8-8-24 and 1.8v), the new ram let the mobo go to 596fsb. Changing the FSB Strap to 333 and set to DDR3-1872 took the board to 620 (woohoo!! thank moo!!). After getting bsod 50's and adding vDDR, was able to hit 643.5 (
http://http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2648031 ). Had to take vDDR to 1.988...anything more than that did nothing to increase the top fsb. Guess now the question becomes what setting changes should I try next to see how much further it can go? 650 feels close enough to taste!!! Think 675 might be do-able?
UPDATE2: Won't post at 585x10 anymore
Also...raising setfsb beyond 643.5 doesn't do anything...cpu-z stays at 643.5 (checked the validation file made when setfsb said 648 but still 643.5).
