Re: can't get past 3.7ghz

What BSOD did you get, what code shows on the left/middle of the screen? Looks like this 0x00000101, or would be show in windows 7 or vista after a reboot in a dialog showing the last 3 numbers.

Re: can't get past 3.7ghz

the bluescreen itself I tend to miss because Im was not behind my pc when testing it with PRime. However, Windows 7 gave me a message after reboot, BSOD 124

Re: can't get past 3.7ghz

That's all you need, it is 0x00000124 is Vtt (CPU Term)

Do have FSB Overvoltage control AND FSB DE-Overvoltage control? If so try setting that DE-overvoltage option for this setting to +0.1-0.3. Some boards have this and some do not, and I am not fully sure why they have that though, since there is already a CPU Term setting above there?

Maybe one is now FSB/Vtt and one is CPU Termination? I would imagine +0.4 is not good, and you said it didn't help so not sure what to try next since that is what causes this BSOD.

Did you ever test with higher Vcore to rule that out as well? If not please do sometime, try 1.42-1.44, rarely this 124 error can be Vcore

It may just be this board is not happy with 8GB above 1066Mhz, have you tried using 2.40B multi at all for 1080Mhz?

Re: can't get past 3.7ghz

Salty began tweaking GTLREFs above 430MHz FSB and never had the need for more than +0.2 FSB OverVoltage, and +0.25 MCH OverVoltage.

Don't try his ram voltage it's a DDR2 board/
Ctrl+F1 at main BIOS screen should reveal the GTLREFs in MIT.

EDIT: Also use the 2.66D and tRD 10 until you get this sorted.
