FSB



Yonah definitely responds to cold. I've been able to push the FSB up to 262 with single-stage cooling and using the default 13 multiplier. The SuperPi 1M run was done with an untweaked XP SP2. Will eventually test with dry ice.

I think one of the things holding me back is voltage. My board is still unmodded, which means VCore goes up only to 1.5v and VDimm to 2.15v.

I'm going to see if I can get at least 265 FSB with DICE. Probably won't be able to test until next weekend.

The VCore does fluctuate on the board. But I don't think the problem is as bad as on Asus Intel boards.

Asus boards are notorious for VCore droop. I heard the P5WD2-E suffers from the same problem. The only real fix is a droop mod, or of course getting something other than Asus.
