Yes, 5005 is the cap but if you see my bus runs hot at 200.9 which is 5050 and over the limit
The only thing I changed was going from 2 to 4 cores..
Yep, a fresh boot can make all the difference.
Are you letting it run at default voltage for the chipset?
Some default settings are kinda high, with the setups I have I normally don't need much over 1.22v's to get things done with the chipset and that's for topping 250 with the bus.
The 990FX chipset is efficient so you don't have to worry about volting it way up to get decent FSB speeds. I'd experiment and see what the minimum voltage you need would be to get a sucessful boot, then go maybe two clicks over that and give it a go.
Your CPU should be able to hit 5.0 with around 1.48v's or so, depending on the CPU itself.
Running less than 8 cores will reduce the heat and place less stress on the board itself too.
As for me, gonna give it a shot this evening and see what happens.
EDIT:
Here's how it went.
Dr. McCoy/FX 8320/H2O/14m 23.735sec
Next up - AM3.

I've added your submission Darkpollo but in the future can you use this format DarkApollo/ AMD FX-8350/H20/15m 20.386s Just makes it easier for me. Keep working on it , I'm sure you can drop at least another 20 seconds anyway.
See now that looks like FX numbers, original posy updated.

Ughh. Wish my chip could do more.
Bummer seeing 2nd last on the Intel side
Meh, 3570K should be here Monday so we'll see how it does

Is that what it's telling u? I was just checking the tracking and all it says is it's in Canadian Customs.Ughh. Wish my chip could do more.

Edited. And sorry 'bout that.
For those who disbelieve me on the two core -> 4 core thing..
Note that everything is, near as makes no difference, the same.. 1.5v.. 200FSB.. etc.

Ya they sure don't seem to like buying outside the country. There are ways around a lot of the charges you just have to be creative.Damn Canadians

Eariler this morning it said it was on it's way to the destination.
Now it says it being cleared by customs
Backtracking?
Customs is like a day or 2 I've found.
I'm more worried about the chip sitting in the Mississauga Canada Post hub for 4 days like my 7850 did
Doesn't seem like a big deal to me, but someone could help the guy out with a dl. I don't have a good one anymore.Don't get upset I'm just pointing out the rules of the competition.
Also interesting. Compare to this. http://hwbot.org/submission/2665354

See if it helps using 4 cores, that's the only difference I see.
Could possibly help by getting the OS off of the same module as SPi

I just cant squeek any more out. :-(
The RAM wont do any higher than 833.

You'll do much better if you would raise your CPU/NB speed (NB Frequency as shown in the CPU-Z tab, yours shows 2250 in the screenie).
I'd try for around 2600 at first - When you give it another shot you'll see the difference it makes with the settings you are currently using. Leave all the rest as is but get that CPU/NB speed up! Also with CPU/NB voltages, around 1.35v's or so should do it for 2600MHz.

I really appreciate the suggestion, however it doesnt like to boot with it any higher... It is only 1333 ram.
Edit: highest it will boot 2500
will not run Pi
