I have the subject combo with 4 gig DDR2 800. Runs fine at stock speeds.

I have tried lowering the HTT to 4, lowering the RAM to DDR2 667,
increasing
the RAM voltage from default 1.8v to 1.95v.
The best I can get out of FSB is 220 (10% overclock). I've read the
default
CPU voltage is 1.20 - 1.25? Any idea where I can set this (limit)?

That would normally be a function in the MB bios. If your bios doesn't let
you adjust the CPU voltage, then you'll have to look into changing the
default some other way (via the cpu pins). But I'd really be surprised if
there wasn't a cpu voltage setting in the bios. Hint, Jumperfree
Configuration - Advanced Voltage Control. RTFM.:-)


I must have been unclear. I can adjust the voltage, but I'm a bit unclear on
how much is "safe".
The specs I found indicate the voltage is "1.20 - 1.25v", a bit vague in
itself.
I was thinking 1.30 - 1.35v should be as high as I should go?


There is one other setting that may influence, the PCI-E speed is still
set to auto. Any advice or experience to indicate I should lock this at
100 MHz?

Won't hurt to lock it, but I've gone over 220 with mine at auto. Different
MB and no PCIe devices.:-)


OK, thanks for that. I'll try locking it and see if I can go up to 230.

I appreciate your input, Wes. I know this is all trial and error in the
main, so I'm going to try and err a biy more before settling for 220.
