Take your time... This type of help is priceless.. I'm in no hurry.. and will likely keep this thing reasonable (under 3.6)

Can't thank you enough !

damn it!

Its a P45 chipset.. you may be limited on FSB.. checking now. Some of them would run high FSB and others would not

the right board with the x38 or x48 chipset would not be limiting

Its probably going to be some trial and error in this with the P45

you got the right heatsink.. thats for sure.. the Zalman cant really handle the better quads and is old news

Im expecting 3.8 when we are finished if the P45 will comply

and thats not outrageous

OK this is a hybrid board.. both DDR2 and DDR3.. hmmmm

You may want to consider switching your memory over to DDR3 now

I have never worked with the hybrid boards Brett so I do not know their ability and limits.

Still reading here.

Yeah.. that's what happenes when you buy what's on the shelf. Normally I research (and ask) before buying.. and will when I go i7.. but this was a panic buy.. Cheesy

Don't spend too much time on this.. I'll grope my way through it.. I'll likely be moving up in 6 months, anyway.. I'm already getting improved performance.. even at 3.11Ghz

Not sure what BIOS you are on but there have been revisions

http://www.gigabyte.us/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=2842

I would not mess with it unless you have a problem clocking however they do post enchanced overclocking ability and stability has been added

BIOS F10 is the latest...

Gezzzzz this download is slow... its going to take a while Brett.

As soon as I have numbers I will post them however I was able to confirm this board will do 475-480MHz FSB from the clocking forums

According to CpuZ, it's F10..

It seems like an easy to use BIOS.. I mean, even "I" just went in,, boom boom boom and upped it 10% without even thinking about it.

I'll likely not push it to where I'm cranking voltages up (much)..

It's just fun top play with it

So... don't cut your day in 1/2 on this.. I'm in no hurry.. I'm gonna play with it all night..lol

See ?.. between postings here.. I just bumped it up..

400 X 8 3.2ghz (changed RAM to: 400 X 2.66 to keep it at 1066)

But here's what's weird.. If I look at "My Computer" "Properties".. it says, "3.40Ghz"

ahhhh OK you are just playing with the automated overclocking features and boosting %... we are going to get you off that system and put you in behind the yoke

If this motherboard manual ever finishes downloading

EDIT: Ahhh finally here..

I will read this over and post back in a bit

Yaaaa

You are reading the CPU with SPEEDSTEP and CE1 support enabled.. those REDUCE the CPU multiplier automatically till a load is sensed.. and we will be shutting those down too

EDIT: Oppppsss... I read that wrong.. It reads 3.4?

OK.. thats 8.5x Brett, not 8.. so its reading the full 8.5 multiplier
