From my testing the latency drops in accordance to the higher FSB settings. Also I would imagine the memory you use comes into play here as most of the extreme overclocks are using Crucial PC8400 with CAS 4. The Dominators I am using are restricted to CAS 5. I have finished testing this MB for now since my E8500 is not capable of reaching beyond 515FSB @ 9x/9.5x. The E8400 was a much better CPU in my case.

Yr settings gave me much better latency

What i find strange my crucials can do close to 600mhz CAS4 but with this board after i boot goes back to CAS5 . Wrong setting somewhere i guess

I'm happy though , 32m under 9min .

CPU FSB OverClocking

using the Bios settings from the Biostar web site the MB booted directly @600FSB without using setfsb :

very nice. i'm surprised you only need +0.3/+0.3 vnb/vfsb to get it to 600!

i'll give this a try when i get home.

So was I since it was not possible to do this with the previous MB or E8400, however any change in the PL results in a unstable OC. Unusual results with this build.
