I cant wait to my e6850 so I can start playing around with this board. Anyone have good results with one? I'm receiving a L719B.
The 1:1 divider is broken for me in 0802... If I set FSB to 450MHz, Strap to 400MHz and ram to 900MHz (exact copy of Anandtech settings) it refuses to boot. If however I set the strap and the ram MHz to Auto it's boots @ 1:1 anyway...
0505 didn't do this for me...? I'm not fussed about whether it's on Auto or not, more that they seem to have broken more than I can see they've fixed...
I am able to boot 500*8 no issues with my 6850. Very easy to work with on this board.
Are the DImm slots just like the P5K deluxe , that the black dimms where better then the yellow dimms for overclocking, so on this board white/blue, any difference? And are the Crucial ballistix really that bad on this board? Because I got very nice pair that can do 1200 5-5-5-12 @ 2.05v , so I want to pick another pair. I can get most likely the same batch as I bought mine recently , so would 1000/1200mhz for 4x1GB , if they can do 1200 5-5-5-12 @ 2.05v @ 2x1GB , possible on this board with sub 2.15v-2.20 volts? Or should I get a 2x2GB Gskill 8000 instead:X
Awesome, thanks. I can't wait to see what this bad boy can do.Quote:

Hi, I could already, however my CPU temps were in the 80c mark. I've a NB/SB prepped motherboard waiting to go in, a ThermoChill PA120.3 120mm Triple Radiator with three Scythe S-FLEX 1600RPM Ultra Quiet 120mm Fans to replace my Swiftech MCR220 Radiator. Once all of that is in I may be able to hit 3.6....Quote:

@Pete, "I've really no idea how the hell i got 500FSB, l;east i know my bord can and will do it i guess, but more so i wana know why it didn't do it with all 4's.". Look @ my post, you'll see that since BIOS v0401 (origional for me in US on 10-11-07) I had 500x8 in moments. So Yes, this bobo is easily and stable to 500x, he muli an dso is limited to your CPU, and a lot and since a lot of you guys are using quads, it's gonna' take a bit more to et hat kind of FSB out of them. A lil bit of GTL can help along w/ some more FSBT. Workde for me on P5K Deluxe. As for the RAM, try 1:1 w/ less timings as before. 500x is gonna' be DDR1000 so that should be just as good, if not better then loose DDR1200. Besides, this mobo doesnt do 1200 in alll 4 slots. 4 slots of DDR1000 should be good to go.
@ mXpS, That E6850 should be great on this mobo. You should see that 500x7 is a snap w/ low temps and vcore. Keep us posted.
@Kup, "I f however I set the strap and the ram MHz to Auto it's boots @ 1:1 anyway..." This exactly what I pointed out for v0701, 0602 was fine for certain variables.
Hi Nuckin_Futs,Quote:

Thanks a lot!
Still stuck @ 1066MHz on the 400FSB Strap (4:3) w/ 0802.
I haven't seen any improvement w/ this BIOS but will wait for the change log before going back to 0602.
Well i'm officially fed up. I can't get my E6550 above 450x7 now. I suppose 3.15ghz out of a 2.33ghz ain't bad, though I was hoping to get to the magic 500fsb = 3.5ghz! Never mind.
I can't even see 0701 BIOS from ASUS's site! 0602 is the latest BIOS shown. What is up with this?
Could you post your bios configuration (or screen shot it)?Quote:

I finally got the High-End 400mhz Strap to work right, Got my memory clocked at almost 1200mhz right now. Sweet.
warboy, which bios?
Would imagine 802.Quote:

Here is the CPU-Z Validation with some info in it. Here
Indeed, I always try to push the lastest biosQuote:

Notice the Auto settings of FSB strap and RAM Frequency. In this BIOS v0802, I cannot use anything outside of Auto to keep 1:1 so unless, you must have deviders, then Auto is fine for 1:1. Also since every mobo is different, try to adjust the settings as marked by "*". Try DRAM Clock Twister to Light or Auto , or Static REad Control to Auto (this does return better strap scaling for FSB over 450 if strap is left in Auto). Keep RAM Booster to Disable but relax 1, 2 or so on, as needed for stability under overclocking (anything other then "0" does effect RAM scores). CPU, PLL, & vdimm can be tweaked as needed for your components. Settings were the same since BIOS v0401 except I could manual strap and set DRAM Frequency as fixed, although it made no noticable difference for me. Even w/ strap in Auto, RAM deviders are just grouped together in a bigger menu.
Can you E6750 or E6850 users let me know how this works for your mobo?
Hope this helps!
I just flashed to 802 bios, and now my system is not posting, with DET DRAM freezed on the LCD poster...
Can anyone help me?

Simps
Change the Strap to Auto. Also the ram freq'! It seems to be a bug with this bios...
I am seriously contemplating selling this board, I've had it...
Strap and RAM frequency? Yes, it seams to be a bug in this v0802 and BETA v0701. It was fine in V0602. I think most of the current fixes were focused on FSB/DRAM ratios outside of stable 1:1 since most are thriving that high memory clock speed to lower CPU FSB. So for us high CPU/Mobo FSB overclocker, Auto is fine since it seams to fix as 1:1 anywayz. I did however, get 5:6 as DDR1200 in 500x7 so that works if strap is left in "Auto", since as far as I can see, the various deviders of the other straps are all combined now, untill you fix to a manual strap. Again, I cant say I see a differance of this for the native 1333 CPU's. It did help back when using these 1333 CPU's on !975X mobos, if fixed to 1066.
thanks for the OC bios's
