Hy boys,

 

i have this mboard to bench with 775 cpu...i reach easy 505 mhz fsb, but i can't go higher...I set NB 1.5V, PLL 1.65V...Someone can give me some advises about his mboard ? I don't find other bios or programs to overclock better perhaps...

 

Thanks

Try setting a higher vNB. This board isn't great for overclocking with though.

DFI X38 and X48 are usually weak on max FSB, these are simply not good at OC, I had several boards myself which I tested and also know lots of people who were severely disappointed by these series`. Try playing with voltages, GTLs, VTT etc like proposed, but I fear you will stop far from reaching 600 even with ideal settings. Grab yourself an Asus X48 :D - or maybe a P45 DFI or Gigabyte for quads

Funny..... I have a DFI P45 and 515FSB is where things stop being "easy" :/

 

Try GTLs and clock fine tuning setting in advanced menu, unless you are very unlucky board should do much higher fsb - all three dfi p45 I had, T2RS and T2RS plus, did above 600 fsb on air with different wolfdales

I was expecting much better than 515, yes but I felt that I should be hitting much closer to 600 without having to get "deep"

 

Time to dig out some old notes :D

Most mobos on X38/X48 limited to 500-550MHz FSB, DFI too. High vNB and high vPLL (2v or more) is helpful, but it's not the same clocking as for asus x48.
