Isn't that going to change the memory divider from 1:1 to something else? I wouldn't mind lowering to 3.5GHz, as long as it is stable and can run at 1:1. Is this even possible? It may only seem like 400MHz to some people, but I notice a significant speed/performance increase at 3.6GHz 1:1...

Thanks for the info. I have been considering a new board, but would like to keep this one if I can. I'm running 1:1 at 402x8 for 3.2GHZ. I can eve get it to boot at 402x9 for 3.6GHZ, I can browse the web and have spent hours on just web browsing, but Prime95 fails in about 15 seconds and the...

Holy Thread resurrection, Batman!!! Since this original thread was created, I had 3 out 4 Firestix go bad and had to RMA repair my MoBo on the same day. I have since had the repairs completed and replaced the 4GB of Firestix with 8GB of Crucial Ballistix. Now my system won't boot unless I...

Would someone tell me which setup would yield overall better performance and speed. 400 FSB 8x mulitplier = 3.2GHz CPU VCore: 1.4000v DRAM @ 1:1 w/2.25v or 320 FSB 10x multiplier = 3.2GHz CPU Vcore:1.4000v DRAM @ 2:3 w/2.25v I only ask because my temps are slightly higher...

Is it likely that my temps will drop very much by moving to a Zalman 9700 or Something else? Thanks.

OK. I'd like to say thanks to everyone that has provided suggestions that have helped me with my OC. Here is where my rig sits as of this morning. Prime95 ran for 7.5 hours on these settings: 400x8 = 3.2GHz DRAM Bus Speed = 400 @ 1:1 (timings are 5-5-5-12; which are MFG suggested for...

Are these temps TOO HIGH? Is it common for a CPU to nearly double in temp when stressed to 100%? What is considered a safe operating temp for the Q6700? Here are the settings: FSB 330x10 = 3.3GHZ RAM is still at 5-5-5-12 @2.25v equaling 990MHz CPU vCore = 1.4000v in BIOS, but displays...

As I read my question of DDR2 and DDR, I realize I'm a moron (duh)! Of course you were referring to DDR2. Pay me no mind. Does anyone have any insight into my temps and whether they are considered too hot or not? Thanks.

At 1500mhz FSB you were running your ram at DDR750, now your running DDR960 plus you've doubled from 2 sticks to 4 sticks which makes it harder to overclock. And yes the mem ratio and ramspeed have a large role in determining how far you can overclock. I don't see how running a lower ratio...

I don't know what's going on with this rig. If I lower the MHz on the ram, I seem to get Blue screens. If I run it a higher MHz, it will boot into windows and get online, and run Prime for 2-10mins. Who knows what's going on??? I up'ed the Vcore like you suggested and that seem to help...

Yep. The Asus P5B Deluxe automatically adjust the memory speed as the FSB is increased. Any other ideas that might help? By the by...How are my temps? Good, Bad, Average, or Whoa!! way to hot? Thanks.

I get that. But, When I select the 667MZ option in the BIOS and increase the FSB to 320, the MHz automatically changes from 667MHZ to 800MHz. Which, being DDR2 would be 400 at 1:1, right? If yes, the system still fails prime95 in less than 2 minutes. Could there be a problem somewhere...

I tried lowering the RAM to the lowest option in the BIOS, which is 533MHz which yields a 1:1 ratio via CPU-Z. But...the system failed on Core1 using Prime95 while stressing all 4 cores in less than 5 seconds with an FSB of 320x10. I up'ed to 667MHz w/ 320x10...No Dice. Here are my current...

This is going to sound really rookie, but how do I know which ram speed option in the bios will get me to a memory ratio of 1:1? Thanks.
