I'm at 2415 (10.5 x 230) 2415. I'm using the street bios you recommended. I guess I will let it sit there for a while, before moving higher.

Heck with that. :D .

Billygoat and I are here right now messing around w/ a couple xpm24's. Yours will do 11x 230 like nuthin' . Give it 1.8 or 1.825v in the BIOS and you shouldn't have any prob with that multi and fsb.

Final adjustments up to 2.5G, 1.75v and cas at auto. Not bad for a $106.00 processor.

nice sal

Last nite at vids house I had my rig up to 11.5 x 210 for 2415 on some ch-5 he had
1.725- cas 2 tite timings- ran beautifully- try for 12 x 213 (2556) @ 1.75 and made it into windows- but 3dmark was locking and I didnt want to push any more voltage threw in without a better HS

Its good to know that my ship will break 2400- 2450 at a high fsb with low voltage
When I get my bh-5 210 x 11.5 will be a good starting point if I can run 11 or 11.5 x 220 I will be grinning from ear to ear

:] Sweeet !! How can ya beat that? These chips are a steal.

Had a nice time at the house last nite w/ Billy goat messin' around with a couple xpm24's and my xpm26. Just for laughs we notched up my 26 to 11x243/ 1.85v (2.673 GHz or some ungodly #, I can't remember ) and it ran windows great but puked hard when "treated" to some 3Dmark. :laugh

Bill's got a nice 24 too. ran great with the good CH-5. His does 2.4 GHz easy as does this 24 I have here for a guy's build I'm doing. forgot to try it with the BH-5 I have in my rig. I think we were tired as he got here kinda late.

Nonetheless, what's more fun that swappin' OCin' war stories and just sittin' around in a room full of PC stuff?? :yo .......and whippin' it into shape ! :w hip

What kind of power supply are you guys using ? my +12v rail is sitting at 11.52v, I think I need to go buy something else, and I've already tried 2 different power supplies.

I'm using a Vantec VAN-520A 520W as shown here......

Another good PSU is Fortron Source 530W which is a bit less expensive.

Ive noticed my 12 volt rails seem a bit off as well with the DFI, but when I take measurements with my multimeter at the mosfets and molex's all is good-
