I need some help hitting 600+ fsb on the rex ...

I have 2 e8600 and both top out at exactly the same 5.75ghz because I cant get the bus speed higher.

Any key voltages or settings that I should know about?

Is it absolutely necessary to freeze the nb?

Any help is appreciated

Trying to remember but have you jacked with the gtlv lanes? I know tweaking those helped me. I never took it over 6 ghz so dunno about freezing the nb though I have seen many do this. Can you post up some of the settings you are using?

IIRC my board hits 600FSB with most settings to auto multi set to 7 play with NB volts and Vcore and possibly VTT. Also I found with 2 sticks of 2GB ram my board would max about the same as yours. 1 stick 1GB ram and 600 - 615FSB is not much a problem.

Oh lord, back into the world of 775 GTL lol!! I will get some settings in here once I get it up and running later. Just trying to better prepare as last time on 775 was a complete fail.

Ill try one stick, was using 2x1gb thanks.

I'm fixing to be back down that street too next week when the Black Opps arrives. Kinda gotten spoiled on overclocking with the core iX platforms.

I can only imagine if you are wanting to get upwards of 6.5 GHZ that will require alot of NB volts and might require a pot. Then again I might just be full of it as I have never been that high. Good luck.

I HATE not having ROG connect or an evbot .... clocking in windows ftl!

I didnt get a working lcd poster with this board either.

600 on aircooling should be pretty easy with everything on auto, I wouldn't freeze the NB, but instead use a little watercooling.
