Well, I defiantly have a range of FSB frequencies at which I can't boot (From 3.52GHz to 3.67Ghz to be exact), and I can boot from 3.68GHz to 3.92GHz. But sadly no matter what I tried I couldn’t get any of those frequencies to be stable for me.

"Looking back on my settings I used (G)MCH OverVoltage Control +0.175v almost always, certainly on 9x400 , so upping that might help as well ??"
Yes I tried this and every other possible thing I could think of to try and get Stable anywhere between 2.68 to 3.92GHz.

Sadly nothing I tired worked. I first backed off the memory settings and dropped the memory multiplier to near stock memory speeds.

I then tried upping the vCore one step at a time all the way from 1.4v to 1.5v. While doing this I tried every combination of FSB OverVoltage as well.

I even tried dropping the CPU Clock Ratio to 8 and upping the fsb. Again tried every combination of vcore from 1.4 to 1.5 and FSB OverVoltage. And while it would boot fine It still wouldn’t stabilise.

One thing I did notice ... when I had the vcore relatively low (1.41 it would fail almost immediately (hard reboot) when I started the prime small fft test on even one core. as I raised the vcore it wouldn’t hard reboot till the test was running on 2 cores, by the time I got to vCore 1.5V it would hard reboot after starting the test on 4 cores. So I’m guessing that the needed vCore to get it stable on 3.68GHz or above will require a vCore of greater than 1.5v, which I realy dont think I will be trying till I can afford to go water cooling or better sadly.

Oh well least I discovered a few more nuances about my system hehe

hahaha, well as I think I mentioned earlier, the main things I use my system for is Video editing and a little gaming. At the moment I have 6 full dvd projects that I'm working on, and you'd be amazed how much hundreds of hours of DV video content takes in HDD space. Not to mention the all the huffyuv-2.1.1 encoded preview files etc. So actually I am constantly scrounging for hdd space and cursing at the transfer speeds across my gigabit network when doing backups hehe.

I will probably go terabyte drives soon, but $/GB the 500's are still WAY cheaper.

Seems abit high but everyone's parts are different. What vid is your cpu (see coretemp)

Yep sorry I forgott, it's still an impressive amount of real estate Yers I think I might cop a 2nd 500gb soon , your right about the £.

According to Core Temp 0.96.1 my VID is 1.2875.

And yea gut feeling says that needing over 1.5v vcore to get stable between 3.68 and 3.92GHz seems a little excessive. (but then Ive never overclocked anything this much before so its all new territory for me).

Also considering It will boot into windows fine anywhere between those two ranges even at vCores as low as 1.41250v, yet it fails as soon as I start stressing cores simutaneously, makes me think that I should be able to get it stable. But if its possible the solution illudes me... at least for the moment.

Do you think your English translation is good enough to translate our overclocking guides to french?

If so, drop me a PM please and we can have a talk

Ah mines 1.2625v so you prtobably will need a higher vcore than mine. I needed 1.45v for 465x8 3.72k. So your probably not far off, maybe a bit more tweaking , more fun than gaming

luck
