Ok, so some people have had great experiences with this board. I just read on xtreme about someone hitting over 500fsb without mods.
Does anyone else have MY luck? I can hit 370 without an issue. A hair above that, and the board won't post.
I have the latest BIOS, 0505 - supports changing the multiplier, etc. Even if I set the multiplier on my E6400 to x6, I can NOT boot past 370FSB, even with the ram set to the lowest setting, which puts it below 800. My specs are in my sig, if you're interested.
I can prime and PI and everything without any issues, at 370FSB, with a x8 multi, and my ram running at 925.... So I'm 99.9% sure it's not my chip or my ram.
I did notice, however, that there is no MCH voltage adjustment on this board - could that be what's holding me back? Or do you think I should just buy something else and try again?
The only voltages I've changed are my vcore, vdimm and nb. I can run 370FSB at about 1.375vcore, and 925 on the ram @ 2.3v, with 1.35v on the nb. If I max out the nb to 1.55v, and push the vcore up to 1.55v, I can't even push 375 - regardless of the multiplier.
So, as I've said, has anyone else with a P5B had the same issue? That DS3 looks really good right now...... Thanks!
