Its very hard to say that this and that will get you that high OC.

I can do a guide on that if its requested or needed. It was not easy for me to figure out and took a long time, but keeping at it testing this and that to see how things work paid off in the end.

I may do things the hard way but it ends up pretty darn stable.

Give me some time and I will do a write up.

Well I only have that one bitch. I have seen the NB as a limiting factor when all else is eliminated. The NB is the issue I have with my 7750, I like to lower the multi (wont work on 7750) and not put unnecessary v to it when not needed. I hate the heat gains.

My 905 is great as I can adjust everything.

Oh yah, I have yet to play with DQS settings, adjusting skew however made a huge improvement OCing my AMD chips.

Guess I will have to sit down and learn the right DQS settings for my 920, see if I can get an extra 100 MHz or so out of her :)

WOW. Very nice :) What adjustments you have to make for 300 HTREF :)

Also have you tried unlocking the L3 cache yet?

I will be taking a 2nd look at this CPU with a AM3 setup and 2 gigs DDR3 1333 memory Vista 32, I will be using 2 Gig's because of better stability.

My test results will be Posted @ tR as usual and then I will post some here afterward.

Test will be done on the following:

MSI 785GM-E65 AM3 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - 140W CPU Capable, 1Gb DDR3 SidePort Memory, Easy OC switch

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-2GBHK - Retail

Vista 32

I will post a link to the new testing when complete.
