is there any timing that you might relax first, before another, when trying for higher fsb? im running 1:1 ( granite bay ) so im stuck there. i havent run memtest tho... prolly should, but still wondering whether there is an "order" to relaxing the timings.

alright... ran memtest86 v3.0 for 23 passes @ 2,5,2,2 ~ 2.8 vdimm / 155 fsb ~ 1.675 vcore. no specific tests, just default. i got no errors at all. i have also tested my oc stability by having 2 instances of f@h running, 1 instance of prime95, partical fury, IE surfing/dling, winamp playing, temp/voltage softeware running, and task manager runnning for 6 hours or so and have had NO PROBS... cpu never got above 34c

i use my rig normally ( folding 24/7, gaming 12/7 :) ) and nothing is wack all day and evening... but when i wake up in the morning, f@h has always casued an error. no reboot or f@h closing down, its just causes an error and grabs another work unit and continues folding.

so, im ASSuming that my cpu is "holding me back" and not the mem.

am i missing anything?
