Good news! Im currently testing my rig on Prime95 as I type this on 252fsb x 14 or 3.528 ghz. Im running on 1.41 volts and right now temps on full load are at 41C. I have my HT multiplier set at 1800mhz (or 9x I have to set it to 1800mhz on my mobo to get the 9x multiplier) and my ram is set at 1066mhz w 7-7-7-20 timings. Running prime for 1 hour now, and so far so good.
I tried a different attempt this time. I actually decided to be patient and started raising the fsb x2 at a time, restarting, and testing w prime for about 20 -30 min just to see basic stability. Im going to keep raising the fsb until I hit a wall, and start tweaking the voltage a little bit. Didnt want to go through that process, but I had no other choice.
I noticed that on my setup, I was able to run at max 248fsb on 1333mhz, then I had to adjust to 1066mhz as soon as I hit 250fsb. So now Im going to test how far I can get on 1.41 volts w 1066 mhz ram speed before making further adjustments.
I'll keep you posted.
So for those of you with 925s, there is still light at the other end of the processor road. You just have to be patient and take baby steps.
BTW, got the mobo and processor at a steal. 149.99-20.00 rebate making it 129.99. Can't beat that price. We'll see how far I can push this thing. Talk about bang for the buck. Been working on this rig for quite some time now. So far my build has cost me only $535. I previously snagged an Asus P5QPL-AM and Intel E6300 dual core for 69.99 which was used on my rig, but took that setup out and put it in an old PC case that I had lying around (you remember those big old white color office cases. LOL) Picked up this new mobo/cpu setup, and so far Im very pleased.
