Is there any reason that my multiplier on a Q6600 with this board would be locked at 6? I check in bios and it's set to 9 there, but CPU-z shows 6.

u have c1e or speed step enabled, i suggest that u return the board if that got u, u will be lost in the bios
The reason I'm doing cas5 at the moment is because I don't want to stress my rams before finding max FSB. I'll try cas4 aswell then.Quote:

I've done 4GHz on air with this beauty so of course I will aim for higher clocks, but again, I don't want to stress anything more than the fsb at the moment. After that's done, I'll try to find a sweet spot for all the components.
Thanks, but the sarcasm is unwelcome. First thing I did was set both to disable, but I guess c1e was left on auto. I've been up for just over 31 hours now and spent the last 3 finding out all 4 sticks of my OCZ platinum were bad, same with my generic ddr2.
After 3 hours of a C1 error and finally stealing 2 gigs of gskill back from my dads comp (45 minute round trip) I had this problem. Now I just need to remember to disable my floppy drive next reboot (forgot these last 4 times).

Nah, I have the thing stable at 3.6 now. Wanna see what I can manage.

how likely is this???
if you boot into Win and are idle speedstep/EIST is on..so your multi is down at 6x...with a little load it wil jump to the max. Nothing to worry about. Also no need to disable those in bios. Works fine here also with overclocking.Quote:

Woot, 3.737 @ 1.35v wPrime 1024 stable. Hoping to break 4 before I get to 1.45v, then I'll start tuning my ram :D
Edit: 3.9 @ 1.4 wPrime 1024 stable. Sleeping finally, hoping to tweak it a bit more tomorrow. . . errr, today.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone has experienced a huge difference between the Prime95 calculations in each core?
This never happen to me before with this same cpu and now it's freaking me out::shocked:

Is this normal? Should I be worried? Does this indicates something is wrong?
i put the hr-05-ifx on mine i move v-card to second pci-e slot gave me loads of space for a fanQuote:

update
i got to 500fsb with only 1.4v bumped my gtl by 1 n its stable but only pl8
What ram would you guys reccomend for this board? 2x2gb ~$150 or so?
i thought the middle slot was 8x? or is that in a crossfire + physix enviroment?Quote:

thats good to know - i might move my psu to the top of my case and the gfx card down a slot nowQuote:

So I removed all ramsticks but 1 and it bootet up fine... flashed and put all 4 back in. It does post, but it hangs at the bootup screen saying 50... so I removed 2GB and it works. Very strange... I do hope it didn't fry my Cellshocks (again) when loading defaults or something :rolleyes:
Anyway, played around with 2x1GB of Crucial Value 667 only and the new bios and found the following:
a) it boots up with 266 strap at 445 FSB, something that wouldn't even post before
b) still can't go below perf. level of 8 - no post
c) runs rather nicely at 1066 4-4-4-9 and 2,3V - not bad for 667 rated sticks I guess :D
try setting PL manually with one stick, then adding the rest.
Hey folks! I'm a DFI mobo newb and need a small amount of help:
Can anyone tell me how to find out what bios I'm currently running? I've looked thru all of the screens in the bios and can't find any rev numbers.
I would read through 100+ pages of this thread, but I have a little bit of a life.
Current specks:
E6750 o.c'd to 3.6GHz, 8X mutli at 450 FSB
8GB DDR2 at 2.1V, and all ram timings are set to "Auto"
CPU volts at default.
As you can see, I've only oc'd by changing the fsb. I have a lot to learn about this incredible mobo. The incredible thing is that to achieve this fantastic OC all I've done is increase the FSB. I'm amazed so far. OC'ing has been a bit boring though.
All I need to get finalize my 24-7 OK is to find out if I need to update the Bios or not. I need to know if my temps and volts listed by the bios are trustworthy.
Thanks!!!!
Really having issues getting prime stable past 425fsb. Looking for some guidance my best luck seems to come when increasing the VTT & GTL settings but it seems that they are REALLY touchy. I've been able to post @ 500fsb. I've made it into windows @ 450 but then it locks up. Are there common things with the DFI x38/48 board that I have have overlooked that need to be changed? I have not really touched the ram at all could the 4 sticks be holding me back? Any help is appreciated.
The BIOS date etc is displayed on the first post screen down on the bottom left of your screen but you may miss it if you have the DFI boot screen come up rather than the post screen.Quote:

CN :)
Stupid FSB walls! I got everything at stock volts, Vdimm at 2.2v. It runs smoothly up to 500FSB, after that, it's a dead end.
Now, I've tried to raise NB volt to 1,5v-1,55v =C1 error.
I've tried the 400/x strap/divider = C1 error.
raising fsb VTT to 1,5v = C1 error.
Mems running at 5-5-5-18.
It's just.....so frustrating, especially when I see zsamz_ hitting higher fsb clocks. :(
One thing struck me though. I had similar problems with my asus P5B board, no matter what volts I fed that bastard it didn't get pass 360FSB. My E6700 is very picky, apparently. Any tips of how to keep pushing it or should I just start clocking with 500*X?
lol i just have a better cpu you lucky to hit 500fsbQuote:

if you really wanna go higher you gotta pump more cpu vtt volts i need 1.52cpu vtt for 500fsb
n only use 333/667 and 333/800 straps
my cpu dose that too i cant get it past 500mhz but i know that it can since i got it used from sniipe_dogg and he had it at 540 posting when i asked before he shipped it, over 500 is just missing something i need to put in
