400FSB - I can run small FFT on P95 no problem, but when running P95 memory intensive test, it crashes consistently within 2 seconds.
399FSB - Seems stable on all tests so far.
On 400FSB, I even tried to up the latency timings to all highest settings and increased ram voltage to about 2.3V, but that made no difference at all. I also upped VTT and MCH by one setting higher just to see if that did anything. None of that did anything for the P95 memory test.
I'm pretty satisfied and don't want to order faster RAM just to get some more speed out of the CPU, but are there any obvious reasons why the RAM would just give out at 400FSB, but not 399FSB?
I've successfully used the RAM at 800MHz with lower FSB settings before with a different CPU.
