I just can't go above 247 without moving the vCore all the way up to 1.7. At 1.7 I'm stable at 250 (and maybe at little higher, but 255 was a no go), I'm just afraid to keep my processor running at that high of a voltage setting when everything I've read says "Don't go above 1.7". Especially since with this particular board 1.7 actually means as high as 1.728 at idle and only 1.6 on load.
I realize 3.2 ghz at a voltage of 1.600 is a decent overclock, I was just hoping for a bit more. It's just frustrating when I can see the darn thing running stable at 250 FSB with an "actual" vCore of 1.6 when it's really set at 1.7 in the BIOS. If it didn't fluctuate so much I could easily do 250 with it set way lower than 1.7 and maybe even go a little higher.
Oh well, like I said 3.2 is a decent overclock and I can live with that I suppose.
Yeah, I wouldn't feel to bad Krellor, that's a decent overclock with that processor and keep in mind, we all feel that way no matter how high we get our systems to go LOL! I want 300 FSB with what I got but it's just not happenin LOL!
Anyway, you might want to try another processor or even try swapping the ram with some other sticks to see if it helps or makes it worse. At least then you'd know.
Talk to you soon,
