It's just a good old fashioned volt modded board, I tried Antinomy's bios on it but had a whole lot of memory related issues, so going to try again sometime with the stock Asus bios. Voltage was 2.03v at -140c, any colder and I lost stability, Northwood seems to have FSB issues when too cold.

Very interesting! 3 hours ago, ObscureParadox said: I tried Antinomy's bios on it but had a whole lot of memory related issues This is pretty strange since for P4C800-E it shouldn't affect behaviour in any way, just add settings. Could you specify settings, RAM and problems? There's an issue when you use non-default straps and dividers you have to set tRD (PL) manually, usually 5 or 6 is the one to start with. This is the only issue I know with unmatching FSB and strap/divider settings.

This is the only issue I know with unmatching FSB and strap/divider settings. There's a strong strong chance I was doing something wrong, I'm trying again tonight with a different CPU and will let you know if I have further issues, but I remember if I set 200FSB and any 1:1 divider it wouldn't boot with TCCD, BH-5 or Micron chips, but I'll keep a close eye on tRD as I tried setting primaries only as well as advanced memory timings and couldn't get it to work.
