this is what the bios mib tweeker page looks like. which one of these settings needs to be changed to bring the ram freq down?

 

[b1gapl]

So what does it currently say, in your BIOS? The x CPU Host Frequency is 375, and the memory frequency is 540?

To change the timings you would have to choose "Option 2", in High Speed DRAM DLL Settings.

IM at AIM please...it would be easier to explain.

When your first get into the BIOS, you have to press ctrl+f1 to expand the memory stuff under MIT. To get the 1:1, set the Memory Multiplier to 2. You should also set that PCI Express Frequency to 100...otherwise that will go up with the FSB too.

Read this: HOWTO: Overclock C2Q (Quads) and C2D (Duals) - A Guide v1.1

That's one of the things I've been using to help me.

Okay so with B1gapl's help. I was able to get the system to come up without increased voltage, well actually it is only at 1.3625. Thanks for the link Metal that also helped. I shall see how it runs at 375 for now. and hopefully i can push it some more. What is the max voltage I should send to the CPU?

 

[b1gapl]

Your motherboard being a P35-DS3R, you shouldn't have to put too much voltage to get, where you want to go. The max depends on your temperatures though. If your temps are below 60-65c on load, than it's OK to up your voltage one notch at a time, only when your system is unstable. I'd say, don't go over 1.55-1.6v...it's just too much.

 

[Nagasama]

yeah 1.55V is going to be hot and if you havent stabilized it by then, most likely you arent going to be able to.

 

[Indobos]

Okay so what I did. was drop the voltage back down to stock, 1.350. Kept the FSB @ 375. It appears to be stable running ortho's At the moment.

mobo temp = 36c
cpu core = 35c
cor #1 = 44c
core #2 = 45c

 

[b1gapl]

wow...that's great!...Hope everything goes well. I guess the RAM overclocked too high before, was causing the instability.

With those numbers. What do you think i can get this to run at? Mind you those are full orthos load temps.

 

[Nagasama]

well, just keep going until it stops, then you'll know
