Just moved the Vcore to 1.7; Mem Volt to 2.7 and Chipset to 1.6 (running
Prime95 now). Doing everything in Bios. FSB is at 200 now and multiplier
is 11x but when I boot is shows 2200 mhz and not 3200?
I have a Volcano 12 hsf so cooling should be ok. I'm also running an
Antec 480w True Power supply and the nVidia System Utility shows fine so
far.
Guess I'll just push the fsb a bit more after I figure out why it shows
2200 instead of 3200.
