mine is 82C-84C when cpu usage 100%.

HOH. Overkill.

ST56F is good enough. or get like mine, Corsair TX650W.

depend. like mine. use 1:1 900mhz strap/latch 400. try use 5:6 1080mhz strap333/200 (cant remember but cant use 400).

seriously think the 1:1 is better for me. seem like 1:1 with strap 400 is much more faster.

this is just from my own experience though. if wrong, correct me coz i'm supernoob.

just set ur fsb to 450x8 n set ur mch latch (strap) to 400 n choose divider 2.00D at bios. it'll give u 1:1 with 900mhz speed. this setting is really easy to get. remember, use 400 on strap.

tighten timing mean u're making ur ram running faster. not the speed though, it's the process of how the ram process the data that increase. yup, u can change it but that depend on how well ur ram can take it.

fsb:ram. let say u use 400fsb with 5:6 on divider.

400/5=80
80*6=480
the calculation is like this. one number value is 80. that's different with different fsb though.

MCH latch.The higher the strap the faster your computer will run up to matching FSB of that strap.

just put that setting in bios n put strap 400 2.00D 1:1. 500fsb mean ur ram will be 1000mhz in speed. if ur ram is 1066 kit, it'll take it well but remember this, 500fsb mean ur mobo will run at that speed. 450fsb is quite easy to get, but 500fsb is kinda hard. need to tweak quite a bit.hehehe

2.00A is using 200 on strap if i'm not mistaken. higher speed but lower strap is not good la.
ram strap n fsb is kinda the same thing (it's function to be exact).

example, u use higher multiplier with lower fsb, ur proc speed will increase higher but not ur overall system.
same with ram strap, low strap but higher speed, ram speed is sure faster but not overall performance.

better go with 450x8. easy to get, but remember to up ur NB volt/MCH Core a little bit, maybe to 1.3V. running ur mobo with high fsb mean ur mobo require more power to even faster. same like OCing proc. hehehe

hope this will help.
if anything wrong, correct me. after all, i'm still learning.

try it oredi. use 1000mhz speed but not 400 on strap. the different with 900mhz, strap 400 is almost nothing. maybe 900mhz using 400 on strap is faster.
maybe it's just me, but i can really feel that 900mhz on strap 400 is faster.
try 520x7 1:1 1040mhz 400 on strap. this is the best i think (for me). but need to tweak quite a lot.

sory bro. didnt reply coz i dont know how to calculate strap. ram speed with fsb is calculated but strap............
just know that higher strap mean faster.

PM OC4/3. maybe he can help@explain.

different cooling system for mobo n less OC capability than P45 chipset.

u'll be proud of that mobo. trust me.

@aHceNt

why dont u sell ur 800 kit ram n get 1066 kit ram. ur ram is the main obstacle to OC with high fsb.

have try different strap? 333/200 maybe?

yup. it's MCH voltage. pump it a little bit. happen to me before, using 3.6ghz at 1.337Vcore 450x8. no prob at all.

@Ahcent

try use different strap, but seriously, ur ram is pushing u back. get 1066 kit ram n u'll be happy with ur rig. UD3P (ur mobo) is great for quaddies n high fsb. but ur ram..................

1.3V

nope. except vdimm,vcore n MCH volt, i think i didnt tweak anything. (not sure, cant remember but i think didnt)

aiyo. sell ur 800 kit ram, i think can get 2x1gb 1066 n maybe 2x2gb.
ppl say that 2x1@4x1gb is better for OCing. nvr had one, so dont know. use 2x2gb right now.

anyways, try different strap n oso, try with just 2 stick only.

u can even reach 500fsb on this mobo.

600fsb. Overkill.

nvm,i'm happy with gaygaybyte mobo in OC.

have u try pumping ur MCH core/northbridge volt? 1.2V is what i use.

Latch freq is the NB strap, basically, internal NB timings. Lower is tighter. The separate MCH Latch settings in the Giga boards are basically redundant since you can pick mem ratio and the strap in the mem section at the same time.

C = 200 strap
A = 266 strap
B = 333 strap
D = 400 strap

So if you leave MCH Latch on AUTO and pick 2.00B from the mem options, you will have 1:1 on the 333 strap. Things seem to work better if you do leave the latch on AUTO, but if you did chose one manually, it just removes the other options from the mem selection. So if you set latch to 400MHz manually ("D"), the only mem options visible will be with the D strap options (2.00D, 2.66D and 3.33D). When latch is left on AUTO, all the mem options are available in the mem selection.

F10 to apply? do u set it using bios or software?
