Nice OC. Quick question, what order of the ram timings do you start setting more relaxed timings when you know your ram is holding you back?

I think the first setting, then the last one..at least one these sticks, FedEx just dropped off (2) XMS3200LL sticks, so Ill be running Cas2-2-2-6-T1 settings from now on.

175 booted at default vcore (1.525), but needed 1.575 to pass all the benches

175 was a no go....3dmark2001se and Unreal2003 crashed out with up to 1.625...which overvolts to 1.70-1.71..
172 was so so with 1.600..so I ended up at 170fsb, Cas 2-2-2-6-1T.
Trying vid card drivers now.

ill assume youve tried 1.7v agp and 2.7v vdimm w/ lame cas & turbo off? :(

<EDIT> 30.82 drivers are the best ~ but give the worst 3dm scores :Q ;) :) :D

shucks, 170fsb only lasted 4hrs in Prime95, I bumped it to 1.600vcore, but it almost taps 1.70vcore in windows..Im gonna try 169fsb on 1.575vcore and see if that works.
I did use the tweaked bios and set the memory to 'by spd' and it came up as 2-2-2-5-1T...and passed 3dMark2001se..

Im happy with it all though, now to try the benches on the Sata drive and see if the AGP/PCI speeds do anything weird

1.6v bios = 1.7v for you?:confused:

thats a far cry from my board~
1.6v bios = 1.655v idle / 1.556v p95

honestly, i think we should start quoting p95 vcores for now on for comparisons

1.625 was 1.71 actual
1.60 was 1.68 actual

-or there abouts, I only went with 1.60 becuse I didnt want to cross 1.7
I wish 1.625 was that under load as well as idle...but oh well.
I noticed the voltages vary the same amount with the new Vantec 470w unit..from the Enermax 431w one..

These things are crazy the way theyvary in their readings. If I set mine at 1.525 in bios, I am at 1.6 in probe. It has dropped as low as 1.44 in probe under Prime 95.

undervolter here with the albatron....

1.675v bios = 1.6v idle/ 1.55v p95 this is at 2.4b@3.24ghz w/ 450ddr

1.625v bios = 1.55v idle/ 1.49v p95 this is at 2.4b@3.24ghz w/ 360ddr

1.6v bios = 1.53v idle/ 1.48-1.47 p95 this happened from 2.4 to 3.15ghz w/ 1:1 RATIO
