Found in my signature is my rig. Below is my current OC, I actually was able to boot with this thing @ 3.2 for 10 minutes! My max FSB for my rig seems to be 256. Currently Im sitting @250 4x 12x to achieve a 1000 HT link. Any recommendations on the OC? What Ram timings do you think I should I should go for? My current ram bandwidth is 5300, benchmarked with sandra with a 84% efficiency. I was able to get my ram bandwidth to 6000. clocked at 2.8. Would this be a better OC?
Idle is 30c max load is 36c. I am also running on stock voltages. I have been priming for a few hours now with no errors.



Also, I am unable to change my ram command rate due to some issue with San Diego proc and this board. There are lots of threads on the MSI board regarding this issue. There is suppose to be a particular bios file to take care of this but I can not seem to find it anywhere. Anyone else know a work around? While it is not that much of an issue to change it to 1T with a windows program, I would still prefer to have the bios setting.

Edit: For some reason its not showing my sig. Here you go:

AMD 64 4000 @ 3.0
Zalman CNPS9500-LED
MSI K8N Neof-F s939
Corsair XMS Dual Channel (1 gig @166 2.5-3-3-7)
Nvidia EVGA 7600gt
Ultra 500 Watt PSU
Aerospeed Extreme Engine 3T Case
Windows Vista Ultimate
 
Pretty damn nice OC in my opinion. Memory timings look good, temps look good. I really don't see much I'd change.

Stock Voltage?? Very nice chip. I’ve always had good success with MSI, I still run two of their 939 boards myself. I used to run a lot of their Dually XP boards back in the day, only had one fail and their RMA program is tops. EVGA is always my first choice but they lack selection, MSI fills that gap for me very nicely.

Enjoy
 
Thanks.

I picked up this board and this HSF from one of the closing Compusa stores. I got a killer deal. I paid 90 bucks for both!!. If you have any in your area go now. Most all of their stuff is 10-40% off now.

I would like to increase my ram bandwidth. Thats the only thing Id prefer to play with, but maybe Im just being picky...lol

Go to the AMD forums and do a search for the overclocking data base. I think you will find bandwidth with this setup if far less critical then you might imagine.

Hell of an deal too man, hard to beat that with a stick;)
