Ok guys I was trying to find my max stable overclock for my 4850 cards today (2 of them in crossfire) and I was quite happy with my 24/7 3.6ghz q6600.
But I found this is not fast enough in 3dmark06 for these cards and that I hit a bottleneck.
My bios settings are all on the auto/default except for the Vcore 1.42 and the vdroop setting is enabled (forget what its called currently)
I have been prime95 stable at 3.6ghz with both a 400x9 and a 450x8 so I know my FSB has room still to go higher and my ram is not holding me back (ram timings manually set 5-4-4-12)
Thing is when it does 3.6 so easy its crazy how hard it is to go higher. I cant get into windows at 3.7 1.42v, I upped it to 1.44v and got into windows and passed a few runs of 3dmark06, then I went to see if it was prime stable and it was so unstable that it didnt just fail prime it crashed the computer into a black screen.
For those interested to show the bottleneck here are my 3d06 results with the 4850 crossfire
CPU @ 3.6
19017 710/1050
19018 720/1050
19018 720/1080
19042 720/1100
CPU @ 3.7
19165 710/1050
19324 720/1050
You can quite clearly see the cpu bottleneck and how it was lifted. I triked a 720/1080 run but my score went back down probably because something was not stable.
Now back on task.
My CPU is the GO stepping and it has a rather high VID. 1.3125v (1.313) and following the "general" rule of +15% being safe that means I should be able to push 1.5v into this cpu rather worry free. But many say that 1.5v is too much. So looking for 2nd opinions on that.
Next is the fact that I have all of the advanced stuff like the GTL and PLL settings for the cpu on auto/default. Do you think that tweaking these manually will help me out? If so I really need some guidance on what to pick and how to know, with so many variables its hard to test them out one at a time and know it helps or hurts.
System specs are all listed by my name on the left but for the lazy the mobo is the Asus P5Q Deluxe.
Thanks for any help guys! I really want to see what this cpu can do safely and maybe break 20k 3dmark06. If we manage to up my 24/7 clock from 3.6ghz to something higher with the same or near same voltage that would be great too.

Thanks for the first response, 3.4ghz for a 3870 stock and its still almost bottlenecked? Thats crazy.
Anyways its mostly the low resoltuion of 3dmark06 causing the bottleneck when I am playing a game at my native resolution of 1920x1080 I know its not going to be a problem and 3.6ghz is well above what I would need for optimal performance, I am going to mess with the TL Ref later maybe after I get some sleep and try a point that I know is barely stable like 1.47v @ 3.7ghz and see if changing it from 0.63x - 0.68x has any effect on stability. I could repeat that one at a time for other factors and if i find that I am suddenly prime stable or atleast more stable.
I am abit weary to mess with the GTL and PLL voltages, it seems to really do that right you need to have some readings off your motherboard and use a formula, and guessing can easily toast your cpu. But upping it just a few mv from the standard for a test should not hurt it I guess.
