so maybe with me having 2 set of raid 0 set up may cause for the need for the increase in ichio then and ich as to boot? since it does seem to help out

Call me Einstein!
2 sets as in 4 drives?
Good point.
But with just dual drives I never noticed it making a performance difference.
I've done a couple of RAID 1 arrays in the past.

yes i have a total of 4 hard drives inwhich makes up my 2 raid 0 set ups since xp is on 1 and vista is on the other.but it did seem to help when i ran the dual core so that is why i have my bios like it is now.

i kind of went off of it since i still have my cheat sheets for over clocking it yet. with all of the voltage setting for the 3 over clock i had for the E6850 i ran.

since i did try that 1 dudes over clock he posted over at xtremsystem since he had the same mobo and cpu aka ip35 pro and q9450 and had it clock to 3.6ghz

i used his voltage settings and it did not work at all and would not boot into window. but it rebooted and i decided then to try something else.

thats when i figure i would try the 700mhz over clock theory and work off of that. since it work with the dual core. well it work so if i can figure it out this way i should be able to hit 3.6ghz and maybe 4ghz.

but i am not sure of the max cpu voltage on this cpu even though from that topic over there i all ready past that on my dual core. let alone the mch and ich max as well. and stayed stable for a long time, well long enough anyways till i had to up the cpu volts some.

Your ICH settings should be OK for the long haul.
I've run my MCH as high as 1.48V. It's a big heatsink and a 40mm fan will screw right onto it also, if you want the added assurance.
WOLF used to run his MCH 1.52V.
We were both using Q6600 at the time.
CPU temperature is where you are going to get caught usually before you have applied enough voltage to potentially cause damage.

i think i might as well stay right were i am at now with the over clock. since i think any higher i may wear it out sooner then i want to. i think 3.2ghz it good enough for anything else around here anyways.

and since i just said good bye to xp and install the win7 64bit build 7600 i had laying around here. i figure i would give it a shot and see if i would like it since i am liking vista now more then xp now.

and beside i am stepping up to a XFX 5870 anyways so i figure i better get win7 installed so i can see what DX11 is truthfully is about ya now.

i got tired of the BS with the EVGA GTX285 SC and what it has cause me for the last 7+ months and they are sending me a 3rd RMA and it will be here next wk. so much for 2 day ship lol

was ship out yesterday and will be here next wk !?!?! WTF!!?? dam UPS in caly !! i hate them out there. but anyways....

thanks for the help and if i get the itch to take it farther , which would be some time soon i bet lol ill give ya a shout and another thing i remove 2 sticks of ram to so that will take some stress off as well.
