hi guys, it seems that i have hit a wall at around 250 ht. my specs are in my signature. i know its not the limitation of the cpu coz i could do 300ht = 2850 with my old ta690g.

just wanna know what other settings im missing out. i have:

- disabled CNQ
- graphics to UMA only, disabled sideport.
- upped voltage to 1.376 which is more enough coz my old ta690g needed around 1.36 to reach 300ht only.
- upped voltage of both nb, ht link and dram +0.1 even though non of them are overclocked. (memory is still below 667, ht link is around 1000, only the nb is up to 1.3)
- also left the ram timings default but changed the CR to 2T for stability.

if u are using this board, can u tell me the best bios version for this mobo? coz if its not the mobo, it could be bcoz i am using integrated graphics (for the time being). but oddly, i could do 300ht with my ta690g with onboard graphics as well.

btw, under my "CPU FID/VID control" i do not have the option set "Custom P-States" to Enabled in the bios version. Would prefer to to flash bios though considering the risks.

hope someone can help coz im really scratching my head coz i cant pinpoint the problem.

p/s: i havent done stress testing yet coz i doubt i could find the solution anyway even if i could pinpoint the problem thru small/large FFT tests.
