After a long while of research as to the reason why my computer would never post after raising the fsb over 225 or 230, I finally figured out that you have to lower your LDT multiplier to 1x or 2x to raise the fsb over 230 without having post issues. As strange as that is, whatever, my system posts now.
I've currently have my system stable at 250x10, 1x LDT, 1:1, vcore 1.5v, 3-8-4-4. The temps idle around 38C, not above 41C under load.
When I raised the fsb to 260, windows wouldn't boot. I didn't try too much to fix that, just went straight to 255.
When I raised the fsb to 255, windows booted but I constantly got a semi-BSOD. The screen would just freeze as it was, and there would be that broken record sound. It seemed to happen under tremendous load. I raised the vcore to 1.55v; still had the same problem.
Then I tried 280x9 and everything was pretty stable. That was a pretty relief since I was still running 1:1 and I only have ddr550. But once I tried 285, the system wouldn't post at all, even after numerous restarts.
My cousin has the DFI Ultra-D I think; he was able to hit 309x9 1:1, but I'm not sure if it was completely stable.
Surely I'd love to get higher than 2.55ghz. I don't have a DFI, but think I can push out some more? So far, I think I did the basic OC'ing. Now I need to find a limit.
I plan to run a consistent stable OC'ed speed for some rendering that I do; the more the better.
