Thanx mate. Without watercooling my nb i would need a fire-extinguisher:D

I need help. Currently i'm testing my NB/DRAM fot stability at 478 (CPU set to 7x478). So far, it's clear, that i don't need more than 1.61v NB, because rising it don't bring stability. DRAM voltages are set to 2.0v@1146@5-5-5-15@PL7. Default are 1100@1.9v. NB is under water, and DRAM are with Dominator Airflow. I'm usinge 67x NB GTL Ref., other values don't help. I'm wondering, if i coulde set 150ps different between CPU and NB skews, would it help? Because with both set to normal, over 460 is impossible. Maybe skews need to be more relaxed for 480?
A difference of 150ps between the CPU and NB would be to much. I think it would be better with CPU Clock Skew Delay 100ps and NB Clock Skew Delay 50ps or any other combination of delays with a difference of only 50ps.
You've got the same problem that I've got. Changing voltages doesn't make it more stable because it isn't the problem and there's nothing we can do about it. :shrug:
speaking of testing i was folding at home , running GPU on one hand and Boinc with SETI on the other overnight.
no issues. so i take this is pretty good testing anyway, for stability i mean. right?
There isn't much to say anymore. I'm stuck at 8 X 450MHz if I want it full stable and I think that I've got to live with that because I don't think that we will ever see a better BIOS than what we have now. :(
Crunching doesn't stress your CPU as much as Prime95 Small FFT's. It isn't very good for testing stability. It will only fail when there are serious stability problems.
I agree with you we probably wont see any - much - better bios for our rampage boards :shakes: but my next step will not be a s775 board anyway.
Now im waiting my new heatkiller rev3.0 with the ek-smax so i will have something to work with:) I hope ill see some huuuge tempdifference with the heatkiller installed...Of course this means better overclocking results:D
Lets see...
A-Grey - tks noted.
Greg.m is preparing for upgrades, some kind of liquid HmmHmm. Or was it dark matter.
Apparently he is trying to break somekind of record here. like The most upgrades in a year or so..
+1 vote for that.
We need lots of pictures,,greg..
Got my new E8500 today and looks like getting anything close to 500fsb or higher requires pretty much voltage on MCH.
1.45 is the lowest stable voltage on MCH I've tested so far.
Forgot to mention that you can't run lower PL than 9 on this MCH voltage, tighter PL would probably require much more overvolting.

vCPU: 1.275v, vMCH: 1.45v, vDDR: 2.2v, PL=9, all GTLs and Skews on auto.
@kuebk
:shocked: 61C @ 1,45, you have to do some thing about it, it´s way to high.
Maybe a cooler like this for the NB and a fan

and like this for the SB

Even at stress 61C is way to high, some instability may occur when the temp is that high.
It seems like you system are working okey with it so then it most be okey.
BTW I had a third party cooler with a 80mm fan @ ~1900rpm on my NB before I went for water on it and it never got over your idle temp with max stress even though I push volts up in the red value.
Keep up the good work on that RF. :up:
Will have to think about getting some noiseless fans on it. Thinking about getting 7.5 or 8 x 533fsb for 24/7 use but only if I could stabilze nb temps under 55 on such fsb.
here is what i was using until i went on water

it has three different speeds and some nice blue leds;)
greg.m found out that increasing fsbVTT gives much more than inreasing vMCH, done on CPU: 1.275, VTT: 1.24:

if i have an E8600 and i want it to be a 5ghz with 1.50vcore wich gtl cpu and nb do i need to calibrate it correctly? divisor 1:1 585 x8.5multi or 555x9 multi gtl cpu 63 y nb gtl 67?¿=
With cpu gtl on 63% and nb gtl on 67% I was able to achieve 620fsb: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=586151.
Gents It give me great honor to present Greg.m latest project
