Got this setup up and running with 0906 BIOS, broke my previous PBs with the new 950 - 2x2Mb cache and has the 17x multi (as well as goes down to 12x)
I am in exactly the same position as I was with the 840 though, I hit a wall at 990FSB and cannot get stability 1mhz above that. Now I have the whole system cooled to about 6c, NB is never above 20c, CPU never above 35c, with very cold air (its -2c here just now). I can do 990FSB prime stable, with only CPU overvolt 100mv enabled, but 992FSB and I get instability, regardless of voltage settings, ram speed/divider, CPU multiplier etc etc
Also it will not boot over 1000FSB at all, no POST.
Its driving me mad as I feel this CPU is capable of so much more. Can anyone POST over 1000FSB with a dual core in this board?
I will post some benches soon - just beating some more PBs with the 7800GTs volt modded - 500/1200 stable.
