First series:
Test Setup:
CPU: Intel Core2Duo E8400 @ (x9 for stab. test, x6 for suicide) with a stupid low profile cooler
MB: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R
Memory: check list
PSU: Seasonic Platinum 1000 Watts
OS: Windows XP
Fan: Noctua fan on the memory module
Cooling: Air
Highest valid on air so far: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2686886
1.- Stability test at 4-4-4-12-2T-Auto w/ 2.2Vmem:
Boot at 250 MHz FSB (Divider: 266MHz & 4.00A aka 1:2strap266) => 500 MHz mem
Then increase FSB using SetFSB by 10 MHz, run SuperPi32M (takes about 20 mins to finish)
=> repeat till SuperPi32 Crash
Write down stable freq (highest freq memory module was able to compute SPi32M)
2.- Stability test at 5-5-5-15-2T-Auto w/ 2.2Vmem:
Boot at 300 MHz FSB (Divider: 333Hz & 4.00B aka 1:2strap333) => 600 MHz mem
Then increase FSB using SetFSB by 10 MHz, run SuperPi32M (takes about 20 mins to finish)
=> repeat till SuperPi32 Crash
Write down stable freq (highest freq memory module was able to compute SPi32M)
2.- Suicide CPU-Z Screen w/ 2.6Vmem 5-5-5-15-2T-Auto:
Boot at 350 MHz FSB (Divider: 333Hz & 4.00B aka 1:2strap333) => 700 MHz
Then increase FSB using SetFSB 10 MHz by 10 MHz till Windows XP freeze
Write down Crash freq - 10 MHz.

Red: either dead (DOA) or I need to solder something back on the PCB.
