Help me Tweak my BIOS! Which of these settings should I change?

Check my sig for my setup. What else needs to be tweaked in my BIOS?

So, for those of you geniuses out there, what would give me a performace boost w/o frying my rig?

BIOS 1
BIOS 2
BIOS 3
BIOS 4
BIOS 5
My CPU is set to Auto OC.

Those are pretty much the important pages of my BIOS (at least I think 🙂 ).

Thanks in advance for any help and advice!
 
You need to find three settings in your BIOS:

CPU Multiplier
HTT/LDT Ratio
HTT/FSB Frequency

They may or may not have the same name, but they will have the same function.

For fun, change your CPU multiplier to 14x and see if it's Prime95 stable.

Next, bump your CPU multiplier down to 10x and your HTT ratio down to 3x and see what your max stable FSB is. If you reach 260MHz, bump the CPU multiplier down to 9X and see if it will go any higher. Your memory clock ratio can be set to 1:1 (DDR400) if you want to test your memory overclock as well.

For max performance, you want to run at your max stable FSB with the proper multiplier; so lets say that your CPU has a limit of 2850MHz stable, and your FSB is stable at 255MHz, then you want to set your FSB and Multiplier to 255 and 11x respectively, producing CPU clock of 2805MHz. That would produce faster benchmarks than a system running at 13x219=2847MHz.
