I think I need more vcore but dont want to stress this chip to hard as I might be selling it for something bettter.
I'll pm you my settings and findings in few, just gotta finnish something for work..
quick question, im only using 1 video card. If i put my card in the bottom pciEX slot will it run @16x.
Or do I have to use the "normal" slot?
Thanks
Im getting the Asus mobo wednesday. Wish me luck.
I did this exact same thing for a while, and unfortunately it will only run at x8 in the bottom slot. Personally, I like the way the setup looks with the graphics card in the bottom slot and how it puts more distance between the CPU, memory and NB from the heat producing video card. Not sure why it runs at x8 given the fact that two cards will run both at x8, which tells me it should allow all 16 lanes to run on the bottom slot if it detects nothing in the top slot.Quote:

Tanx Man:up:
I am stable 12h+ blend, IBT but I got random reboots just browsing www or watching movies.
I was testing all on basic system - no LAN adapters, no USB devices (and I got a lot of them).
I remember someone had same problem here but I cannot find those posts :).
Any proven methods to solve it? like bump that or that? Here are some pics and settings:

All I can see are the cpu and NB GTL's look way different to what everyone else (and I) seem to be running. May be try tweaking them some more.
Try 40/10/40/10. Post back any results :)
Sounds familiar, i'd like to hear if you find solution for that.Quote:

On my own system, just like yours IBT/LINX/PRIME/HCI MEMTEST stable still random hang ups sometimes. Few notch vCore have always solved this issue but i cant see any mind why Idle state needs more vCore than fully loaded system?
thanks for the info skorpn about the video slots.
I have read this entire thread (took a while) and there doesn't seem to be many q6600's around. Lotta people asking, but not many users. Does the m2f seem to clock the 6600 ok? I notice that most people use the 9550 and the 9650 users have their own thread. What about the 6600 users? is there a good place to read/learn about clocking the 6600?
thanks
I bought an "open box" Asus Maximus II Formula from NewEgg recently.
Only received a bare board, which seemed to have a residue (like drip marks) all over the bottom of the board.
I called NewEgg to complain and also spoke to Asus - they both denied responsibility and Newegg would not replace (only refund).
Anyway, I guessed that it might have been from some type of circuit board cleaner and decided to test it out. I cleaned it up well with rubbinng alcohol and silicone spray (applied with q-tips). It seems to work okay - or did before I sent the faulty ram (Corsair Dominator 1066MHz 2x2Gb CL5) back to NewEgg for replacement. Now I'm waiting for the new ram to arrive before I can test it any further.
I saw another review earlier today via a Google search and a photo of that particular board had the same "drip" marks on the bottom of it.
Did anyone else receive a board that had this mess on the bottom?

Was running 3.825Ghz on my P5K-Premium and on the MFII, although I was able to run at 4.0Ghz on the MFII with some tweaking pretty easily. Vid for mine was 1.225, L745A. Hope that helps :)
but hey, for $135, there's not much to complain about as long as it works fine.Quote:

Will play with vcore. Also maybe it is time to try skews :). The biggest issue is that if it passes p95 and linx it will be just waiting for next reboot to be sure that all is ok or not.Quote:

running an e8600 right now, and i'm assuming best GTL setting would be +40mb for core0, and the rest on auto?
Do you think dear members :) that 4 HDDs, DVD Burner, LAN adapter and about 10 USB devices in more or less constant use would require more vSB and if yes which one 1.5 or 1.1 or both :).
As probably you know GTLs are vtt and HW dependent so +40 might work or might not :). Few posts ago I posted calculator which might help you counting values - rest is trail and error.Quote:

Did the same with a e2160 that I had on this mobo. see sig..... I thought it was just a bad chip; but now my 6600 does the same thing. I can clock my mem. really good on this board and even push the fsb way up there; but with all this Vcore, its hotter than a Prescott. The board is an old revision 1 neo-2. I have an asus mfII coming mid-week and any help would be appreciated.Quote:

Do not get me wrong but if you want to check your OC why not post it?Quote:

Guys
I'm having this problem that drivin' me insane...
I've been testing for 3 weeks IBT, i achieved 3 nice OC
4005 (445x9) on 1,3 vcore set / vcore idle 1,288
4050 (450x9) on 1,325 vcore / vcore idle 1,316
4140 (455x9) on 1,3625 vcore set / vcore idle 1,358
I passed all them on IBT...then the other day won't pass again, re tweak GTLS and some things and pass again, then the same...
I have a TT 850W Toughpower PSU, and a 8800 ULTRA vmoded but runing stock 612/1512/1080 for now, 2 seagates Raid 0, 1 Sata Optical drive, the 4 Antec 900 fans, 3 Sanyo Denki San Ace, the pump and the Rehobus Controller...
As summer is here temp in my room goes to 28C - 30C, today i noticed that the card was artifcating in windows vista desktop if i run same settings as i was playing for months when ambient where 24C - 25C...This started after doint the IBT test last night, but i was on Air Conditioner with 24C - 25C ambient, so i'm lost here...
Even at those 28C - 30C i have good temps for 24/7, NB and SB never pass 43C, PWM 40C, CORES are fine < 35C, GPU is 44C idle
I'm starting to put a doubt on my PSU
I also swapped RAM, now i have the Gskills PC29600 and problem is the same
Any help I appreciatte very much

No Multi issue on this bios for me.
All the way from 6 to 10 in 1/2's.
Totally rest cmos after flashing bios and do not reload your stored profiles, re add them manual and save over old ones.
Same here , have 1802 loaded on bios1 and 1901 loaded on bios2Quote:

But seeing as they never had it was to be expected.
1901 Bios is total :banana::banana::banana::banana:. It reduced my memory read up to 500 mbps
