^^ Been using it for the past few days. Not bad. I was finally able to get my E8400 to 4.0GHz by having to adjust some of the GTL values.
anybody notice on the newer bios' the memory copy performance has gone down while read write and latency got better?
No not noticed as I dont flash beta's incase I have any problems with the board and have to RMA it, they are not obliged to repair / change your board for you if you have a beta bios on it, however all i can say to the change in memory performance is "its about bloody time" cos mem performance on this board at the moment sucks, but i'll wait for the official release.Quote:

My ram is rated 5-5-5-18 at 1150mhz but is doing 1128mhz at 5-5-5-15 (limited by CPU speed), might be able to get the 15 to 12, but to be honest im really not going to see that much of a performance boost for hours more of testing, is it really worth it.Quote:

Those speeds you have there are more like what I was getting out of the ASUS board, just cant seem to find nor get them on this one, this is what im doing right now, and its definatly not good.
Yeah it's Flex 2. The settings are posted in the following link. Posts 11, 12 and 13.Quote:

praz good work man, this is faster than i was at 500x9 i think, gonan use this as a template when i get my new psu
Im still not even close to this with your setting set in the bios, I think somewhere, somehow, the CPu you dividers etc your using Praz play a big part in this, I remembered earlier that when I was scoring high on my P45, it was with an e8400 at 4.2ghz, but that eventually degraded and died on me, I might pick another up in a couple of days a put this too the test, cos I was forced to move back to my Q6600 which in fact feels slower than my E8400. :ROTF:
Thanks guys. I don't have any settings saved with a quad in the board. It's been so long I don't remember if the times were close to these or not.
Question for everyone.
I currently got 8GB DDR2-8000 (500FSB 1:1) stable, but with a NB of 1.65. Any recommendations to lower this, while keeping the system stable?
nopeQuote:

What SW16? The Heatkiller for the pwm area?Quote:

I am trying to get my PC stable with my Q6600 @ 3.6 (450 x 8), and ram @ 1128mhz 5-5-5-15-2T.
I bought this cpu 2nd hand because it can do 3.6ghz (450 x 8) @ 1.3375 vcore, 100.23% special add, vdroop: disabled; in a DFI X48 UT. I have had my ram at 1175mhz @ 5-5-5-15-2T before, but I have having problems getting them stable together.
With the current settings below, it will last 1 minute on OCCT before the PC locks up. The max temperature any CPU core reached was 63C. My chipset temps are fine. The AS5 still need time to cure and my water cooling loop still needs to settle, so I think temps will reduce over time.

popped up when I updated the bios to 08/29 and I have no idea what to set them at (I never changed them) and how they effect the overclock.
Please can you help, I would love to get my PC stable at these speeds!
@!TIMMY!: why do you need to set your Special Add? try disabling it...
I copied the settings from the previous owner of the Q6600. I have also tired disabling it with 1.35 vcore, with Vdroop enabled and disabled and my PC still freezes on OCCT.Quote:

Anyone know where I can grab the latest beta bios from as a Diamond Flash utility for the LT board ?
It seems they only have the standand bin file in the beta section.
