What's Maximum FSB you can get?

[Zoot]

Just curious as to what the max FSB others can get here.

475MHz seems to be the highest I can go, anymore Vista doesn't boot and both XP and Ubuntu lock up.

 

[-VK-]

Highest I managed so far is 520 on my Rampage Extreme.

Highest I have managed is 480 on my Maximus. But with a dual I may be able to get past 500.

Yeah I was kind of tempted by the E8400 when I my rig together, but in the end opted for the Q9450 for video editing and such...

(gotta love Linux on a quad )

Meh.. I think 3.2GHz stable is perfect for me, cheap alternative to a QX9770 (€1000+ price difference).

481 for me. Everything (nearly) is watercooled so soon hopefully can try and go for 500, just max everything

600 with a dual and about 485 with my old quad

[edit] found my 600fsb validations

[edit] looks like i didn't bother validating the quad (now sold)

About 460 during the testing stages of overclocking my E8400.

I don't like overclocking much though, I rushed to put the settings back to default.

I only manage to get around 430FSB with my MSI P35 Neo2-FR. I don't have a screenshot for validation but I have managed to get my E2130 (1.6GHz stock) up to 3.44GHz and complete a 3DMark06 test Though I rushed to get it back to stock settings because it was on 1.525v! Too close to the max safe limit that Intel recommend for my likings to be honest!

515 for me

 

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

Highest I've managed on my E2140 is 440MHz

It refuses to post at 445 even if I try to run 1.65v through it so I think that I have hit the FSB barrier, or do I need to up my northbridge or something?

Any ways, I'm not willing to try again at the moment, I don't want to push it too hard

 

[Zoot]

Thanks for the info everyone btw.

Were it not a waste of €150 I'd go away and get an E8400 just for the sake of it...

I think the highest on my P5W-DH Deluxe is 450

Altho I don't think I tried anything past that so might be able to go higher.

 

[Rastalovich]

If I plan on keeping the equipment - 475. Wouldnt stay at that tho.

 

[gotmaxpower]

Got the FSB up to 480 the other day trying to beat the 11s mark on SuperPI. Got to 11.064!

 

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

I would try if I had a CPU like yours LOL

 

[SwaleSmith]

Using EVGA 790I at 1800 FSB stable don't think I could get the world more.

using qx9770 quad @4ghz
