That's a 945 Express chipset board, isn't it? Pretty impressive you got it this far, but CPU willing, 400 is achievable.
What do you have your NB voltage at right now?
Yes, this has 945P chipset. For some reason, the NB voltage setting DISAPPEARED from bios?
Not a smallest clue why it did that
As I said, I'll be continuing to tweak the crap out of it later, but even that 380fsb 24/7 would be ok for now. The GPU in that machine is HD3870 Ultimate (passive) what truly needs some new thermalpaste because it runs hot as hell with those old pastes. Had to put an old fan from Athlon64 boxed cooler to cool it down
But well, let's see how that 2GB DDR2-800 module will work what I'm getting from my buddy later today. Officially I think that this P5LD2 doesn't even support 2GB modules, but I found out that at least some Corsair 2GB sticks have worked. So I'm pretty sure that it's gonna work and I can finally toss out those damn 533MHz 256MB sticks.
Edit: But damn, I didn't remember these CPUs run so cool, I'm running this with an old copper-core Intel Boxed-cooler (those which came with Pentium D's) and the cooler doesn't make barely any noise. Also, the temps are ~60C even in full load.
And runs Sims 3 pretty well, my girlfriend plays it pretty much on that PC.
