So here's the thing. I've tased what I can wrangle out of this system.
12.5x216 (core 1.925, ram at 2.6, chipset 1.7, timing 2-2-3-11) and I'm very satisfied with that. Even with all my fans running at 7v I can keep my max load temps ~43C on prime95 forever.
Here's my dilema,
I can go 12x216 stable at 1.825 (and I'm using a board that undervolts). That's a whole 1v difference. Temp at load difference is about 5C
If I could increase that FSB a bit, I wouldn't have a problem running 11.5 or 12 or whatnot. But I can't break 216 (432, *note ram is pc3500 rated at 2-4-4-7 @433 but i run at 2-3-3-11, losening up timings doesn't help because the fsb would need to go much higher to match 12.5x216) no matter what.
Here are my truths:
1.825 (Winbond = 1.79-1.81, CPUZ=1.760-1.792) Vcore needed to stable 12x216
1.925 (Winbond = 1.92, CPUZ=~1.88-1.9) Vcore needed to stable 12.5x216
2.6 Vdimm is needed to stable 203fsb+. *Note: Anything higher than 2.6 is an automatic failure above 203fsb (wierd nf7-s + mushkin thing)
1.7 chipset is needed to stable 200fsb+. Anything lower than 1.7 = failure->auto failure in prime.
So from than info, there are two things I can do. I can bump up the 1.7 using some type of mod, (any prefernces on which mod to use, what's the best? preferably one with decent instructions. My skills are perhaps par w/the tools needed) or risk continued running at 1.925. I know this is a voltage conservative forum (and i like you guys for it) so that why I'm askign you what's the worse of two-evils
FYI: I do have a huge copper heatsinks w/an 80mm fan (7v) on the nb, and a tiny aluminum fan on the sb. Along w/heatsinks and a highspeed delta (7v) on the mosfets
Thanks much,
