i get too 3.47 and hit a brick wall too get it over to 3.5 a friend with the same pro ram but a nvidia can do 3.5 with increasing the cpu and ram volts also he can get t1 ram latency i would appreciate any help on accheiving this also advice on tweaking my settings up more

Thankyou

Hey there and welcome.
you should first set your FSB strap to 333/667 to make sure the memory is not holding back (you'll get to trying different straps and timings after you overclock the CPU).
If it still looks like you are stuck, you should probably look into increasing a little the VTT and the NB voltages, i'd try to stay under 1.35 for both right now, expecially with the VTT.
If that does not cut it, you'll probably need to tweak the GTL refs a little.
I'm sure Clunk will be able to help you more and be more specific as he had a B3.

[Clunk]

I haven't used a B3 on this board, but it did need the GTL Ref and VTT tweaking to get the best.

But to be honest, the heat that mine generated was always the killer for any 24/7 overclock I did, regardless of the voltage.

If you have a look at the GTL Ref chart in the DFI BIOS guide sticky in the hardware section, those values should be a good starting point.

Also, while you are seeing what the CPU will do, drop the RAM speed down to 1:1 (333/667 strap). It could just be that you have hit the RAM's limit before the CPU.

i have ocz flex 2 1150MHz ram but i might start messing around with the gtl and the bootstrap as well thankyou

[Clunk]

Yep, doesn't matter how fast the RAM is rated for at the moment, it's best to set it to 1:1 when you are finding how high the CPU will go, and you can always up the RAM speed later

cluck you have the same board i was looking at the beta bios updates X48AD530 and X48AD714 do you know what they do and if there worth running ive had trouble with beta bios,s in the past

thankyou
