Let' try this again for 3.60GHz

Advanced BIOS Features
DISABLE these 3:
CPU Enhanced Halt C1E
CPU Thermal Monitor
CPU EIST Function

Robust Graphic Booster: AUTO
CPU Clock Ratio: 9x
CPU Host Clock Control: ENABLED
CPU Host Frequency: 400
PCI Express Frequency: 101
CIA2: Disabled
Performance Enhance: Standard
System Memory Multiplier SPD: 2.00

Dram Timing Selectable SPD: MANUAL
then manually input these values
CAS Latency Time: 4
DRAM RAS to CAS: 4
DRAM RAS Precharge: 4
Precharge Delay: 12

System Voltage Control: MANUAL
DDR2 OverVoltage Control: +.3v
PCI-E OverVoltage Control: +.1v
FSB OverVoltage Control: +.2v
(G) MCH OverVotage Control: +.2v

CPU Voltage Control: AUTO

Then give me a screenshot similarlly looking like the one below while running Prime
(mine also uses 4 sticks of rams)

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but for flight sim performance, will I get better results with a 4.0 overclock with 5-5-5-15 timings, or with a 3.6 overclock at 4-4-4-12 timings?

Thanks

You will do better with the 4.0Ghz
