Help please.

Is it possible i found the one San Diego/Toledo core CPU that cannot hit 2800mhz?

I've put the 1/2 divider on.. and cranked the voltage up to 1.5v and still cannot get this thing to boot at 2800mhz. 10 multiplier is the only thing i have luck with.. the 11 is evil.. it only clocks with 200 fsb and boots only with that.

any suggestions? i haven't tried any 9 multipliers but the thing will not do anything with HTT bus beyond 270.. no matter what divider.

How much voltage are you giving the RAM and at what timings?

2.8V 2227 and left the rest on a DFI board auto for now. I know what my memory can do.. as well as i even tried different timings.. this is the CPU.
I have the DH-E6 stepping and i hate it.

My ram is stable at 233 on this board.. 234 is iffy and 235 is a no... my CPU just doesn't like 2.8ghz.. i'm gonna keep trying, but its no fun knowing i have this jerk CPU instead of a San Diego.

My CPU is crazy. It makes no sense at all.. get this..

The short history of my "san diego's short comings".

10 * 250 (9/10) 1.375V Stable.
10 * 260 (5/6) 1.375~1.4v Stable.. with both. Although the memory bandwidth hurts pretty bad and it benchmarks low.

10 * 270(5/6) 1.45v Stable.. at one time... then for two days couldnt get the settings to work again...

Then 10 * 260 wouldn't work.. and only 2.5ghz would work no matter what voltage.. timings.. etc..

Although each time i reset cmos.. this time i left it out for some time.. and retried 10 * 270(5/6) 1.45v LDT *auto* most ram timings Auto (thats not normal for me) .. and thats what i'm posting from now.

How stable is it? Not sure yet.. but it ran a few benchmarks but nothing that would consider it stable.

its not a real toledo.. but i guess they started throwing the Toledo cores that couldn't make the cut out to the San Diego bin.. disable a core.. and just let it go... from the few posts and articles i've read now.. mine seems like one of these.. i guess they do great on high voltages.. but i only do air cooling so i have no chance with that whole 1.6v thing.

CPUz shows DH-E6.. which i think proves all of that jibberish
