ok well my fsb is now at 240 because 250 would not boot. now at 3606 is it worth trying 245?
now i have to lower the vcore down? should i just try the cvore down to 1.5 right away? or take it down in stages lol

once you get to this point go back to your last good boot and then test how stable the system is for a while. then try lowering the vcore and test again.

i would make sure your system is stable at 240 first and then try higher later. if it is stable at 240 then lower the vcore 0.1 at a time test again and lower again do you do have super pi ? this will test your system very well. or try sandra burin wizard. run then for a couple of hours too.

sure i will run the HL2 gfx test lol that should work.
if stable would it be worth raising the vcore to maby 1.65 then going for a higher fsb?

well you can stay at 240fsb and lower the vcore running the cpustab test each time for a couple of hours until it fails then raise it up to the last setting.
If you test the vcore settings first you will see how good the cpu is by how low the vcore can go. This should lower your temps a bit too. you can try upping the vcore and see if you can get it to post at a higher fsb. but the mobo could be the resons it wont post any higher not the cpu vcore. are you still looking at the swifty pelt cooler ?

yeah i will try raise the vcore by .5 and then try for 250fsb if not i will just start to lower the vcore.
yeah im still thinking of getting the swift pelter block but not straight away. will probably build the system then do it last

my wife complains they are to loud... because if I lower he CPU fan speed then it does crash... I believe it has something to do with temperatures of voltage regulators... I do have a Northbridge water block(DD). I know the OC is not being limited by my ram. I have Corsair TWINX 1024-4400 ram running 1:1... I should be able to get my FSB up to 275 before I hit the limits of my ram... that is my target... Pict of my box The heater core is severally limiting the air intake. Having to raise my the fan speed to 100% attests to that. The Fans aren’t loud (listed at <30db)but the air turbulence when it hits the heater core is what makes them loud. I’m in the process of creating an external box to hold 2 heatercores #2-342 & pumps will give me a better O/C. my thread on that started here have to update it in the next cople days...

i didn't try to O/C my system with out the block on the NB so i don't have anything for comparison... it is posible that i would be getting the same O/C without the WB on the NB. so i'm not guarateeing a better O/C. my 2¢
