Very nice!
Last time I checked, I could hit ~575MHz with added MCH voltage
Keep it with the 8x multi and once you find a comfortable max with the CPU, tighten the timings...You'll be suprised what timings / performance you can get with that board (with 4x 1GB too)
Just ordered some new hardware!

Around 4Ghz is pretty much the max the chip will do while staying at or under Intel's max voltage for 45nm processors.
I'm kind of lost with all those voltage settings though, especially CPU PLL, FSB termination, GTL reference.. Can you give me some sort of explanation or a link that could help?

PLL voltage is for the "PLL Chip" (or clockgen) - This helps with high OC's - Don't go above 1.7v for 24/7!Zertz wrote:kenc51 wrote:Very nice!

FSB Termination is for just that, high FSB. You shouldn't have to increase it, but if you do, do so by a little. Some CPU's like it, others don't. You just have to find out what yours does.
GTL Ref is a whole other thing. It's very usefull for Quads, especially those based on 65nm design. I just set mine to the max ;)
After that, I can't explain them. I've always found it easy to understand things, but hard to teach
You have a 45nm dual, so you shouldn't have to tweak those voltages much, if at all
