So far so good......

I am now able to run my Gskill sticks at cas 4-4-4-14 with an OC of 9x366 for 3.3ghz on my E6600...

Orthos right now and wil let run for 1 hour...previous attempts would crap out in 11 seconds and I was running cas 5-5-5-x timings

Actually this is an overclocking forum and the bios is mainly for enhanced overclocking and tweaking (as per AT's own review yesterday)...so thanks but I have it in the right place



The dual opthos went longer but eventually failed...With a slight bump .025v boost it made it overnight...I am also running one of my sticks finally at 4-4-4-12....


so it is better then F6.....


I found a glitch though which may have been there for past bios....If I set the multiplier lower to like 8x400 the bios will post the correct speed at 3.2ghz but windows and the apps in it...like Orthos and Gigabytes easytune5 see it at 3.6ghz....It confirms to run at slower 3.2ghz speed based on superpi times...I confrimed this with 7x400 as well as it still said 3.6ghz in windows....

I could do a nice job of faking you out by booting at 7x450 (which it will) and see a orthos run of 4.05ghz....would be a lie but I am sure it would have cause a fury....especially with only 1.4-1.42v...



With the latest bios I am able to run 3.5ghz at 1.5v (too high for me) for 1 hour before I stopped it...hardly stable but much better then F6 that only allowed me like 3.3ghz (mainly due to memory issues)
