System at max stable:
P4 2.66b (SL6EH) @ 3.46ghz (173fsb) 1.8volts (reading 1.79)
Giga-Byte GA-8PE667 mobo
Samsung 512mb DDR @ 346mhz, 2.5-7-3-3
I'm quite happy with how well its done so far but I have run into a couple of problems.
I need to raise the voltage to 1.8 to get the chip up this high and I've heard anything over 1.75 might be bad, can anyone confirm?
Idle diode temp reads 38-40, full load around 45.
I tried lowering my memory timings to 2-6-2-2 at 346mhz memory speed but it wouldn't post. This is odd because I left the Dram/Cpu ratio at 2.5 all the way up until 3.2Ghz (which means the memory was at 400mhz stable) at which point i could overclock no more till i lowered the ratio down to 2.0
Can anyone tell me which of the 4 timings is most beneficial or whether the timings are independant of each other in terms of overclocking.
Also assuming I can't improve the timings any is it better to run at 3.2ghz with 400mhz memory, or 3.4ghz with 340mhz memory (highest stable settings at 1.75)?
