whaaaaaaaa my mushkins are degrading n i cant run them cas5 only cas4 2.22v
cant do cas5 with 2.3v
edit:had ram in 2-4 slots got errors with mushkin
put ram in 1-3 all good
Excellent, thanks for the linky. I'll try this asap.Quote:

Also, I was wondering after reading about that lower voltage chip. Lets say I was happy with this overclock but I wanted to lower cpu temps. Is the cpu voltage the only significant factor in cpu temperature? And if so, should I try reducing cpu voltage till I encounter problems? Based on experience what does too low a processor voltage effect --> errors, boot, loading op sys. ?
Thanks
Has anyone used a Thermalright HR-05-SLI IFX Chipset Cooler on this board? After thinking about my options I think I will buy another chipset cooler rather than cutting the stock one, those things are $50 bucks lol.
I can say the idle temps on my e8400 jumped about 15-20C. When setting vcore at 1.35v in the bios I now get 1.376 instead of 1.36. I had to lower it to 1.33. NB set at 1.5v gets 1.45, seems about the same. I'll have to play with it some, but so far, not that impressed.Quote:

With E8500 and X38AD314 bios I mised the 0,5. now i only get 9 someone else as have tryed
i have ordered 45-nm 2-cored xeon 3110, how much voltage will be safe for him?
i hope to use 550+ fsb.

What I'm having problems with is one of my ram modules. I think its dying. It use to boot with stock voltage in the bios, but wont anymore. I know that Crucial has replace they chips with new ones. Is anyone still selling the old revision or is there other modules using the same chips that I can buy. Also, irrc, people have been getting good luck with G-Skill 2x2 sticks. What chips do they use?
Yes tryed too , this bios doesnt have the 0.5 and + i got 10 degres more on the cpu.Quote:

any ideas?
yeah, the g.skill 4GBPK or 4BGBPQ are awesome!Quote:

My OCZ D9 died and those were the last D9s I will ever have - goodbye RMAing!
Thanks, I'll look them up and order a set. Not sure why this stick is dying, I only gave them extra volts for a short period and have a fan blowing on them, but I guess they're prone to this.Quote:

i was :shocked: :shocked:
just a quick test no time to tighten timings
Give the southbridge a bit more juice, like 1.640 or 1.760.Quote:

Could you please report your bios settings for such levels of FSB?
I've been beating my head on the wall for the last two days, my board's stable at 470FSB but anything more won't pass more than 1-2 minutes OCCT.
My goal would be 490-495, nothing special, i'd just like to run my E8400 at the speed its capable of.
I've tryed almost everything: vNB up to 1.76, every step of VTT from 1.1 to 1.6 (using correct GTL settings), clockgen voltage up to 3.75v, vSB/vPLL up to 2v, vCORE up to 1.490, 2:3/5:6/1:1 dividers, Performance Level from 8 to 14, tRFC up to 56, bios 29/01 and 14/03...no gains in stability.
It seems to me it's like NB straps are not working. I can't believe there's no change with any divider.
Chipset and system temperatures never get higher than 40°C even at 1.7+ vNB (it's watercooled)Should I give a try to older bioses, like 1/11 or 11/28 (initial release bios, I didn't have problems with NB voltage so if it supports wolfdales i might try it aswell)?
I'd be grateful if anyone would give me some hints about wolfdales and high FSBs, my NB's surely not the highest bin but I'm not looking for crazy high frequencies, just stability under 500MHz :(
PS: my SuperTalent ProMOS are rock solid @ 1200MHz 5-5-4-11 2.17v PL 5 tRFC 36 :D

500fsb set you nbv to 1.6 n nb gtl to 111 n have fun
550fsb 1.72v n 122 gtl
i dont have a wofdale but try setting other gtls to 67-69%
use only 333/667 n 333/800 straps

I don't get it... NB GTL should be related to FSB VTT aswell, not NB voltage...in fact for me setting it to 100 with VTT@1.45 "works" (1-2min OCCT), higher/lower values make OCCT crash earlier, even higher/lower values make windows crash while loading :shrug:Quote:

not all cpus are the same
well thats how i do it n works for me i guess you be doin some more readin or follow my lead lolQuote:

1.35 - cpu
1.5ish for NB
2.1 for memory
infact i cant seem to overclock at all
Thats not good mate, have you played with the GTL's & tried a bit of clockgen voltage?Quote:

any other proggies to flash the board
if successfull i will post bios
There is an issue with woldale and this board for high fsb i believe.
I can't be stable more than 1 mn to occt with 500x6.
i saw a guy with 510 fsb with wofdale and this board but maybe he is lucky or we are unlucky or we make something wrong but what wrong then ?
So guys, is this a good board to get, if i want to OC my q6600 to, say, 9x450 ? I'll be using cold cold water.
