E6300 on P5B deluxe...

Are people having difficulties maintaining stability at 400 FSB for the E6300 with stock heatsink?

The question is for what speed of RAM. I like to run at 1:1 ratio.
Is 400FSB is readily achievable then I will get DDR2 800MHz RAM.
Otherwise I will save some money and buy DDR2 667MHz RAM to only OC to 333FSB.

cheers.

400 is easy for me with my 667 ram

If found a new bios for my P5W DH Deluxe lastnight. It allows me to underclock my CPU by changing the multiplyer. I read that the PB5 can do this already so this may work well for you.

Here is what I did. I boosted my FSB to 400 so that my ram would run at 800. I changed the VCORE from 1.3v (stock) to 1.38v. I set the PCI-E to 100 and the PCI to 33. I set the ram to run at 800 and everything else was left on Auto.

I also disabled hyperpath3 and DRAM Thottling left the DRAM Timings on auto.

Orthos reports the CPU speed wrong for some reason when the multiplyer is lowered.
