So.. this is it?

[Johanthegnarler]

FSB @ 200(400)and 1.725vcore.
Memory at 2-2-2-6 aggressive. 3/3 (400)

Is this the best i can do with it timing wise? Anything i've missed?

What's the mobo we're talking about? If it's Abit nForce many report better performnace with 2-2-2-11.

I don't know it's weird. Sometimes it runs benchmarks faster in 2-2-2-10. Yes nf7-s

Well then, I'd say that's about best you can do timing wise. At this point, prolly only your own benchies can tell.

I have notice your divider is at 3/3. Others report having more luck with 5/5 or 6/6, but I'm thinking thats for reaching a higher FSB.

Maybe i'll give it a try, because i changed to 3/3 and it froze up on me for the first time ever. Kinda weird, but the error reporting was showing at the same time something with the parrallel ports becuase I disabled them.
But i'll give it a try 5/5 and 6/6 i had 5/5 at first but never really thought it would make a difference, 1:1 is the same i thought. I didn't do much research as you can see on timings. 🙁

Johan, what are you using to report vcore, BIOS or another proggie?

Do you have "CPU Interface" enabled or disabled? I asked cuz I have been curious about this and researching old posts the following comes up regarding it:

1) enabled changes ram timing from 2T to 1T, lower number is better
2) some report enabled shows 200MHz increase in benchmarks
3) some claim no "real world" improvement, only benchies
4) some encourage disabled for real high FSB OC's.

I'm gonna fool around with it when I finish my OC.

I use BIOS for voltage. I've used a multimeter on this board to see for myself and the bios is almost always correct to the thousandth.
I tried using MBM5 but i don't trust it for voltages it seems a bit flakey.

Another little update i dropped my vcore down to 1.675 becuase my computer has no trouble at all with it there.
And it ran prime95 for a day again.
Although my cpu idle's at 43c which is higher than it used to be.. my fan i added must have screwed it. have to remove it.

I run it enabled.
