sorry for the confusion. I just noticed you have the 945P and I have the 965P. The only difference between the two I believe is the memory. On the 945P I think you can only go as high as 667, but you may want to double check this. My current setup is Gigabyte 965P S3, 1GB G.SKill DDR2 667 (5400), c2d e6300, 7600GT, Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, Seagate 320GB, Lite on DVD burner, floppy, 500W PSU. My BIOS settings are
Advanced BIOS:
disable CPUID Max 3
disable non-execute memory protection
disable C1E
disable TM2
disable E1ST
disable Virtualization Technology
PC Health Status:
disable smart fan control
M.I.T:
cpu clock ratio x7
cpu host frequency at 415 (update - so now at 2.9 GHz)
PCI Express frequency at 100 MHz
Disable CIA2
System memory multiplier at 2
DRAM Timing 5-5-5-15
DDR Overvoltage control +0.2v (2.0v) ***this setting could vary for you
FSB Overvoltage +0.2v (1.4v)
(G)MCH voltage +0.1v (1.55v)
CPU Voltage at 1.275v *****setting may vary
These settings come from Wiz in his thread about the $631 OC system he built. My temps are low using the cpu cooler I have (idle 44 and 41, under load 51 and 48) so I could go higher but I believe my memory is holding me back. still the increase from the originial 1.86 is enough to make me satisfied. I hope this helps you out and sorry for the confusion.
