Nice going

Got there myself with this board Gigabyte GA-EP45-EXTREME Living Review Though not with as tight ram timings.

thx man

i can lower yet the alpha-timings and maybe the main-timings, the problem isn't mobo or ram but the fsb wall of the cpu.
i hope to test with other dual core wolfdale, possibly step E0.

my Bios Settings 7x 585

yes that's right it's FSB, that's as far as I got. 575 was prime stable , but 585 was only benchable.

Hi Rybak,
Welcome to the forum

Maybe try 9x400 FSB to start with with ram on 2.00B divider , so it's running at stock speed of 800Mhz ?
Leave ram timings on auto
Try :-

Code:

Standard Clock Control
CPU Host Clock Control..................: Enabled
CPU Host Frequency (Mhz) ............:400Mhz

DRAM Performance Control
Performance Enhance...................: [Turbo]
Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.).....: Disabled
(G)MCH Frequency Latch...............: [Auto]
System Memory Multiplier ..............: 2.00B
Memory Frequency (Mhz) ..............: 800Mhz
DRAM Timing Selectable ................: Manual

CPU
CPU Vcore….……….........................: Auto or your VID  shown in CoreTemp  +onbe or 2 settings higher
CPU Termination…..... 1.200V*.......: 1.240v
CPU PLL…………………....1.500V*.......: 1.5600v
MCH/ICH
MCH Core…………….....1.100V...........: 1.300
DRAM
DRAM Voltage ……....1.800V............: Whatever your Ram voltage is.

Your overclocking wil really depend on how high your ram will clock.
For example to get 8x520@1:1 1040 5,5,5,24 your ram will haver to run at 30% overclock. 1040/800.

Let us know how you get on

rybak · #**367** 09-02-2009, 11:09

it's not work!!!
I was doing what are you sa me... and computer reboot when windows start. Yesterday i set:
CPU CR=9
CPU HF= 480
PCI = 99
Performance Enhance = Standart
MCH FL = 400
SPD = 2.00B
Memory = 1040Mhz
Core Voltage 1.3625

but it's working for 10 minutes at busy process 100%
I disable all energy functions, but it's not work stability. Sorry for my bad speach (English)
