Well .... just played a little.
fsb1600, 400x7 2.8ghz
lowered cpu v to 1.125 (1.07vdc -vdroop- cpu-z reported)
ram at 1.8v, 1:1
speedfan core1 31degC, core2 32degC

Stable past an hour now with two instances of prime. one cpu intensive, one ram intensive.
If all is good tommorrow, I'll go further ...

I started with the FSB first then will move to ram and cpu. I'm overclocking each section separately. If something goes wrong ... I'll know where to look. right?

I know what you are doing, I'm just wondering why you left us know you did it. :kaola:

I'll be interested when you get it over 4 GHz. ;)

I SAID I'M NOW :hello:
fsb1800, 450x8 3.60ghz +0.1v
cpu v 1.2500 (1.18vdc cpu-z reported) <-- I'll step it down to get the lowest v data point tommorrow if it passes.
ram at 1.8v, 1:1 6,7,7,21,2T <-- Safe. I don't want this to be an error source.
speedfan core1 32degC, core2 41degC
Two instances of Prime95, both at max heat setting. Running 1/2hr now ... I'm going to bed ... :ange:
I think my on-board gpu is limiting me now on fsb. I don't want to raise its voltage at this time. Besides, I'm getting a 8800gt soon.

:sleep:
