Just take the X48 BIOS chip out & put it in the x38 to see if it works.Quote:

I actually tried, as I stated before setting NB GTL at 67% VTT makes my system more stable while setting it at 67% of NB voltage does not (as I said, with 1.458v VTT& 1.72v vNB, if I set NB GTL to 100 i can boot into windows and run OCCT for 1-2 minutes, at 122 the OS doesn't even load).Quote:

Too bad the only reason why I've spent 240€ on this board back in december was looking forward to run high FSB on wolfdales :down:
And what amazing features do we get with a new bios we've been waiting for 2 months? A temperature adjustment and an high voltage warning! :ROTF:
Don't know about Wolfdales, but for 65nm Quads (or any Quad, really) this mobo kicks ass. I've been stable for 3 days of crunching now with my Q6600 at just over 4Ghz and it only needs 1,42V, no Vdroop whatsoever - and that's with GTLs still disbaled :)
Also the PWMs are incredibly cool, I am using the stock passive heatsink now w/o any fan blowing onto it and PWM temp is like 60C or something - any other mobo would have burned and died by now (like my two IX38 did, and they were watercooled...)
4x1GB memspeed is also very nice, can run my D9GMH at 5-5-4-12 and 1080Mhz with only 2,03V :)
Only problem is, I can't get the 266 strap to work, but 450 is already too high for that I guess. Also can't boot at performance level set to 7 or below, but maybe that will be possible with some (a lot?) mem tuning - using lv8 for now.
well boys i flashed my board with x48 bios:D
its good so far

i love it can do performance level 7 instead of level 8 @ 505fsb:)Quote:

i need to mod my thermaltake tower 112
that suker is heavier than my true lol n all copper:D
pity i bought a hr-05/ifx
just everest needs an update lol i lost some voltage n temp readings
nope - i'm not sure about what settings to use :(Quote:

Anyway, except for the slightly altered boot-up screen design, no apparent differences are present, but I haven't pushed still over my current o.c. status... so much for the brand new X48, I guess. :cool:
you guys flashing the x38 with the x48bios?? :)
I still have one major issue with the old X38 1/11 bios, everytime on 8x multi with my G0...bios doesnt always hold settings. Even if it is stable it sometimes just resets back ro default. Doesnt happen with 9x multi.
I think its only with certain multi and straps.
But its very annoying.
Hi all, I just got myself a Tracer PC8500 8FE5/single sided. Is it just me or the tracer/s doesnt perform well enough? anyone know what chip on it? is it still micron or else?
What really dissapoint me is I use the setting for Patriot SL at 900 CL4-4-4-12, the other auto but when i plug tracer it stuck at C1. Is there something too tight by leaving it at auto or the tracer cant handle that timing?
Edit :
btw, it's a cheap patriot PC5300. So I guess tracer supposed to be able handling that timing .
You got the 'new' Ballistix kit (single sided) and they are $hit for this board...Quote:

I would try 5-5-5-5-15 for starters in your kit. Bump NB a little to 1.4-1.455 also helps.
In case it might help someone - bios settings for rock stable 4GHz (8hrs Orthos Smal FFTs) on my E8500, 4x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC8000, bios 11/1, watercooled CPU/NB/SB/PWM/GPU.

One more word about memory performance... After "transforming" Windows XP from LanParty P35 to X38 setup without reinstall, memory performance looks like this... I think that system reinstall might help (a lot)... Although I do not care for every MB/s - try to focus on Voltages optimisation :up:

Hope it helps someone :cool:
My Intel Xeon X3350 is coming tomorrow, has anyone had experience with this chip and this board???
at high fsb i get noticable difference in x48 bios
first pic is x38bios second is x48 bios
Does anyone have a backup BIOS Chip i could buy if this one gets messed up doing the flash?

single sided crucials really suk compared to double sided on any boardQuote:

perhaps i need a re-install?
its becouse windows dosnt read the multi only the fsb, u dont need to instal for that
Look at Orthos on the picture I've given above - it also shows 4750MHz... cause it calculates it using actual FSB and default multi... although my CPU-Z shows correct MHz.Quote:

BTW I also need system reinstall - I'd like to do that using official SP3 for XP.... so I'm still w8ing...
cant seem to get into windows though using normal mode. ima try a re-install as i think i could do with it anyway
Ok, I can not get anything more than 3.6GHZ out of this E3110..... No clue why
Essentially, I can boot up no problems at 500FSB and 7X multi, but once i go to give my CPU some volts and try to get 8 or 9X multi's, the system will not even power on or post, and I need to reset the Cmos. Such a pain in the arse. I have tried tons of combinations:
400 x 9 works fine, 3.6GHZ stock voltage
425 x 9 nothing, no boot, no post
425 x 8 works great, no problem
450 x 8 once again, no problems, stock volts.
500 x 8 Nope, nada again.
500 x 7 Works perfect, stock volts (well nb V is up there at 1.59)
I have tried anywhere from 1.3-1.45V to get 4GHZ but no luck. I would at least expect to get a POST but I can't. When I hit the power button, the lights come on for half a second then it shuts off. So I hit the power button again, same thing over and over again.
Specs are below, I am using the latest BIOS, from 1/11 08 and have heard of no one yet with this problem, went through tons of pages here....UGH
