Hey guys, I'm overclocking my Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 and so far have gotten it to 3.1Ghz stably. I was just wondering if anyone here has ever used the P5B-Deluxe or the 965 chipset and has any advice for me on how to go about it. Right now the setup is as follows:
FSB: 345mhz
Mult: 9x
RAM: 690mhz
Vcore: 1.45V
VDimm: 2.00V
Timings are set to SPD which I believe are 5-5-5-12 or something similar.
Idle temps are around 38C
Load temps are around 55-58C
I have tried increasing the voltage and I can get it stable up to 373mhz and at 374 it will not boot. I tried jumping to 400mhz reading about the FSB hole on the 965 chipsets and setting the Mult. to 7x so it would be well within the clocking range that I have tested and it didn't boot. I'm not sure where to go with this really. The load temps are perfectly in check, it has run stably with temps approaching 70C while I was running it earlier this year so I know it can handle the temps it's getting too.
What could I do to make this thing keep going it seems like I just hit a wall and it won't go any further. I'm really convinced it's the motherboard, and if that's the case I may get a new one since it's kind of old. However, one thing I probably should mention is that this board was previously owned and has a Vdroop mod on it. The previous owner said that it could hit a 570mhz FSB without a problem so why is it that at 400mhz and a multiplier that puts it within stable range, does it not boot?
Suggestions?
::EDIT::
also forgot to mention, I tried putting the FSB voltage up to 1.55volts and that didn't help anything, just thought I would throw that in.
