FWIW, I don't have other 939 parts to swap around and really test this stuff. I'll take what I can get but won't spend a ton of money chasing a number. Call me an overclocker of opportunity.

I know that more fan speed gives significantly lower temperatures but does not raise the OC at all. And adding a 2nd fan to cool the RAM and socket area did nothing except add noise. So my OC isn't limited by cooling, right?

Slowing the RAM with a divider does not allow any more FSB.

I gain something like 10MHz FSB if I disable CnQ, which (isn't supposed to but) does add about .05V to the CPU. I'm too lazy to volt-mod the mobo, so...

If I've missed something obvious, please speak up. I'll gladly slap myself for a couple hundred MHz! But IMO, either this CPU is a weakling or this mobo won't do 300FSB.
