enaberif I know why my previous attempts to get my ram at a 1:1 ratio failed with the "FSB Strap to North Bridge" set to 333. It's because I had my "DRAM Frequency", ram timings, and "DRAM Voltage" set manually. Seems if you set those they override FSB Strap.

Anywho...I did try setting Strap to 400 but my system took a crap and I even had to repair windows then it took a crap again after that so I stuck my foot in the door and pushed my way back into the bios and put everything back to default. Thats how I figured out the 333 Strap w/o setting Dram freq/timings ect

So my lap job helped a tiny bit. Tried my 450FSB/1.35000V-core again and temps are 4C lower that yesterday so it wasn't a total waste of 4 hours. Still hitting 74C at load but disabling Load Line Calibration really helped my idle temps. I'm idling at 43C now at 4.05Ghz with C1E, Speed Step and C-State disabled. I used to think Vdroop was a bad thing but now I see the benefits on temps and unneeded abuse on the system.
