GA-8N-SLI settings

[rartist]

I'm picking up the pieces from my G GA-8n-SLI frying a couple choice parts. it was repaired under warranty, but it still is messing up. These are the overclock settings I'm using that get me to 3.6ghz, I want to see if my settings are what I should be using. I'm about to go after GB for a new mobo, and I want to make sure what I have isn't part of the problem:

CIA2 - Disabled
FSB Tube Mode - Disabled
System Clock Mode - Expert
New FSB Speed - 720
New MEM Speed - 666
PCIE Freq. - 100
LDI Freq. 4x
SLI Broadcast Ap. - Disabled
DIMM Overvoltage - +.1v
PCI-E Over. - Normal
FSB OverV - Normal
SATA-II OverV - Normal
CPU voltage Control 1.4500v
Robust Graphics Booster - Auto

Please forgive me if someone has covered this, I'm a bit pressed for time.

FSB speed at 720MHz? That can't be right.

What should it be? The settings for that on my GB Mobo are kinda funny. If I remember right the FSB speed & MEM speed are tied together. It wasn't the interface I was expecting to see.

If your ram is running 720, your fsb is most likely running at 360. If you are running at 3.6GHz, that means you have a multiplier of 10x.

Get CPUZ and see.
