    Hi,

    I just figured out how to update the SPD using Thaiphoon Burner to get an higher FSB....
    I make it up to 180 Mhz right now (inte burn test stable!)- I will check how far I can go.

    I will update this thread the next day with a short "manual".

    Greetz, Michael

    edit:

    180 Mhz are instable ("uncorrectable hardware error"-BSOD).
    At the moment I am not able to get it stable at 178 or 175 Mhz....
    Intel Burn test runs fine - but I get BSOD (Page fault in nonpage area) when I run 3dmark06.

    So I will check out whether there are is any misconfiguration.

    I will keep you updated!

    EDIT:
    F***CK

    I put in some toooo slow timings - now my m11xr2 isn't coming up anymore ;-(
    I have to get some new RAM bevore post some screenshots!

    Sorry - but this will take some days - i will keep you updated!
