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.:-)

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.:-)

Hi Wes:

Is there any advantage to OC the PCIe bus? I always locked mine at 100 MHz
and never messed with it, because the performance/stability
trade-off seemed a bit sketchy. My primary interest is in number crunching
not gaming.

TIA,

Pete
