It may be that this little chip has somewhat disappointed us. Mb send it back and get a e6320 if they are the same price rofl? Mine oced VERY nicely with stock cooling, I just dont know what price theyre at now.

well, I would hope it would do better with a p35, but I think the key may be either a vrop mod, or you may have neared the chips limit. hard to say, mb you just got a not so good chip. still, I think 3.4 is a pretty good oc, also, you can try playing around with bios settings a bit more if need be. also, keep in mind we are currently using an EVGA bios, due not being able to find the latest from xfx.
BUT, just a question, not sure if this would work, or even help, but does anyone know if the p33 bios works on a 680i LT? keep I know the p31 did, and mb the p32...
right now it is running the p08 bios, the latest one for the LT board.
I know some bios flashing can unlock better features, such as better V control. I would hope an nvidia mobo expert could help us here.
also, a vdrop guide might be nice

This is only the beginning of testing, I'm going to see how close I can get to 4ghz. Anything to be careful of or watch out for besides not going over 1.4v and 70c?

As others have said, there appear to be low FSB walls.

FSB 333 was a no go at x6 multiplier.

Page 9 ASUS P5K-VM: Overclocking
Our best results with the E2160 and with an external graphics card was a final benchmark stable setting of 9x320 FSB ... Due to strap and chipset timing changes within the BIOS, we could not run our E2160 higher than a 333FSB without locking up the board. We did modify another E2160 to run natively at 1066FSB and did reach a final 9x385 FSB setting.

Utilizing the E2160 and external GPU we reached a final benchmark stable setting of 9x310 FSB ... The board was actually capable of running at 9x375 FSB with our modified E2160.
The BSEL mods help when there is a mobo FSB limitation. They do not help with CPU FSB limitations. That's all I'm saying.Originally posted by: Zap
All I'm saying is that it is worth a shot, and there is anecdotal evidence that suggests it may help. Don't believe me if you don't want to.

3330 MHz @ 1.26v (BIOS, less vdrop) not stable. It's not a high-end motherboard, and I haven't tried higher voltages yet.

i have seen a couple hit 4g. but there v-core seemed high. the one thing for sure so far everybody is operating these things in the 300-369fsb range. if the new stepping can pull 400fsb even @6x--i am going to order one!!!
it could be interesting to OC with that high multi.

Anyone have problems with E5200's not able to take higher FSBs? Mine tops out at ~3.5GHz but the max FSB I can hit is 310. So like, 310x11 works. But 315 x 10 doesn't work. 333x any multi no go. 400x any multi no go. This is pissing me off.
Has anyone tried a BSEL mod on it? Worth a shot.
