lol.. i just bought it and installed it today

2.6c is at 245 fsb. using hyperx pc2700 stick.

going for more.

this board really is best mobo i've used ever.

I have the same board. I'm a noob to OCing. can't get my CPU over 215 @ 1:1??? Haven't been able to use the turbo settings yet. I knocked the RAM down to 5:4 and CPU @255 2-5-3-3 does pretty good. Please let me know anything I should try to get 1:1 or any other good info. Overall I'm very happy with the board.

i don't recommend running 1:1 with this mobo or 865pe chip.

i run at 1.66x .. things look good

What do you put your AGP/PCI/SRC freqs at? What the heck is SRC?

 

[larciel]

mine's fixed at 66/33/100

if you oc, you must set it at that fixed , sata is picky about oc

Even with SATA disabled? I got my CPU to 250 ram 5:4. It won't finish 3Dmark? raised my ddr to 2.65v, CPU 1.55v still won't finish 3dMark.

I got ocz 3200 platinum. tried my settings a couple diff ways. seemed to have hit cpu max?

what other options do i have to oc?

do i have to set my ram timings to complete loosest to get the highest fsb? or cpu speed?

 

[larciel]

if sata disabled, it shouldn't matter

maybe your cpu's the bottleneck?

i'm running at 3.2ghz right now. 2.6c.
