    Q6600 G0 won't post above 280 FSB!

    i disabled express gate in the bios and now i'm up to 340x9 with all settings on auto except mult, fsb, fsb strap=333 and dram v=2.1. i'm sure it can go higher but i have the stock fan. it's a workaround but i have no desire to use express gate but i'm still curious why disabling express gate...

    as it stands right now it will post with the following settings. i've tried alot of different combinations but this one is stable. mult - 9 fsb - 280 fsb to northbridge strap - 333 dram - in the 500, 600 or 800 range. doesn't seem to matter. vcore - auto. dram voltage - 2.1...
