Cant get FSB past 430. I know the board has a 450 limit but I cant get it to reach it.
I have a E6300, P5W DH board and 2 gig Cosair 6400 (5-5-5-12). Stock volts on everything.
I tried to up the voltage on the cpu, memory and fsb but no joy. CPU and North Bridge are water cooled so its not a heating issue. I can live with 430 cause it still fast as hell but I want to reach the limit. Anyone else with same Board and CPU reach 450. If so please post your settings.

thanks
 
how do u know the wall is 450? every board is differnt and use differnt bios.
 
If I could get my RAM that high I would be extremly pleased. But I have yet to build my system, I start in a few hours.

P5W DH is no where near hard core overclocking motherboard...... if you had a more reputable board like the Intel BOXD975XBXLKR or MSI 975X board, or even the DS3, then you might be able to say what the wall for an E6300 is. But it sounds like you just told us that the P5W DH can't handle FSBs of over 430 stable with an E6300

Of course p5w dh is hard core overclocking motherboard... So are all the p965 boards with the right bios..

I wouldn't get a MSI board if it was the last conroe board on this planet... But then this is coming from trying out different motherboards for the past 15 years...

over 3000mhz out of 1.86ghz chip is a good overclock... I don't know what you were expecting...
 
I heard the limit for the Board was 450Mhz FSB. Sorry if my post was misleading, Im completely happy/and can easily live with 430. I just wanted to know if any one with a simular set got past 430 on the board. Guess I should have labeled Thread "P5W-DH Deluex Wall".
And for the record I agree with Marvelous. From past experience I wouldnt use a MSI board if it was free.

Thanks for replies guys.

haha. umm.... this is my first time with an msi board. and it umm.... sux. hehe... it's really nice, but i think any mobo that costs 190+ had better be nice. it's not stable. and for that much money, you'd think stability was a requirement. i'll stick it out though. see if msi is doing anything at all in the bios department. they are soooooo slow.
 
You have to run the memory slower than FSB if you want to go higher than 420~430FSB on P5W-DH. Give max Vmch and set your memory at the lowest ratio. You'll probably be able to go up to 440FSB. But it's really not worth it since the penalty of running memory below 1:1 is HUGE.

the MSI just has some bios problems from what I've heard.
