Hi everyone, I have quite a peculiar situation going on with my Q9550. First things first - here are my specs:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
Mobo: ASUS P5E-VM DO
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
RAM: 4 GB PC2-6400
Cooling: Arctic Cooling Freezer 13
PSU: FirePower ModXStream Pro 600W 80Plus
All right, so the issue is that I can't go above 340 FSB without increasing the PCIE Frequency. I tried different FSB frequencies, various cpu voltages and dram frequencies but the only time the FSB freq is willing to go more than 340 MHz is when I increase the PCIE freq above the standard 100 MHz. Right now my BIOS settings look like this:
CPU Ratio: 8.5
FSB Freq: 360
PCI Freq: 105
DRAM Freq: DDR2-864Mhz
CPU Voltage: 1.2500V
CPU PLL Voltage: Auto
DRAM Voltage: 1.90V
FSB Termination Voltage: Auto
North Bridge Voltage: Auto
CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled
I am aware that increasing PCIE frequency can be really bad for various components though I've seen many people claiming that 110 Mhz is the safe limit. I know that my RAM and mobo won't let me go over FSB 400MHz but something is definitely not right. Any ideas/tips?
