I think, they have enough to work with other boards. Next bios will come....
Does anyone know when the Rampage is due anyway? I'm fed up with my IP35 Pro's odd behavior these days, so I'm looking to change to something else.Quote:

It's really interesting how the same board performs differently for each person. I've managed to find a stable spot with Transaction Booster set to disabled and relaxed at 0. At least it's Prime and OCCT stable. I haven't tried SuperPi..
Mine will do Enabled (0) but any number higher will not boot :(Quote:

I'm wanting to flash to 0907, but the file is too big for a floppy disk and I have no USB flash disk, how else can I flash to 0907 without using the the utility in windows to do it since I've heard bad things about doing it that way?
Asus update, but not recommended. (Don't even sneeze while it's flashing :D)
Edit: A fat partition on the jmicron controller? An ipod? A blank CD?
I have used Asus Update 3 times and all were a success, I would recommend NOT running an overclock while you flash in Windows
Edit.
yeah I could burn it to a CD, will that work with ez flash?

I am running the supreme card. Problem is I have a 4.1 altec lansing sound system . this was a $300 system alot of years ago. With my msi neo 2 system it was great useing the spdif out rca. Im using that now BUT I ONLY GET SOUND WITH TWO FRONT SPEAKERS. Our supreme card wants only one plug in for rear speakers. Well I have TWO that mormally plug into the woofer.
SPDIF is being handled diff here.
If I can get a signal out to both REAR speakers I have from the ONE port of the card. WHAT can i use to tie in the second input. It looks like I MIGHT NEED A SPLITER HERE????? WILL A SPLITER WORK ? If I can resolve Im going to have to go LIVE platinum setup. I would rather not add that expense.
Anyone got solid experience? Should I post this somewhere else?
BIOS 0601 out today for the P5E. Maybe we're next?
Has anyone figured out how to OC E8400 to 400 FSB yet?
That's easy for these chips. Why? Having problems?

Hello! Here are mine, with the help of some people on this forum. If you look, I think a couple others posted their settings. Zucker just did, and you can find Grnfinger's HERE. I had to stop at 4.23 because I'm using a lot more vCore than most people are reporting. You should be able to get this stable with a lower vCore. I don't know what's wrong with my setup, but I need all 1.4375.

Finally i managed to get some free time to test my sucky Q6600.After some answers from you guyz i increased the vcore one more step to test P95 blend test again since i had the 48 min issue.
Now running 3,41@1,4v in cpuz/everest i started P95 blend.This time after 48min i didnt have the same error.This time none of the cores failed.This time P95 program crashed.It stopped working as vista reported.Now i m confused.
Do i need to adjust something else?Do i need more vcore?Plz help me out...:shakes:

Cadaveca, you have no problems running VTT at 1.2v? Have you seen any benefit of higher on this board with quads or any other chip?
depends on each chip. Duals, quads, doesn't matter, it's the quality of the silcon that matters.

All right I'm stable in SuperPi 32M and for 2 hours in Prime blended (fail after 2 hours) with my quad at 470 FSB with my memory at DDR2-1129! This kicks soooo much ass.......
It isn't %100 rock solid 8 hour Prime stable or anything, but I"m not folding.......so I'll post some BIOS when I finish stability...
BTW I called ASUS tech support to see if they had any info on the chipset voltage limitations, and they said that the limit is 1.95V according to Intel, and that thermals will kill the NB rather than voltage.....which is great considering that I require a huge amount of voltage for stability at 470 FSB with my quad and memory configuration.....

Anyone else running a QX9650? I'm curious to see what settings you are using.
I'm holding out for the non-extreme 45nm quads....Quote:

I *think* it may be to do with the RAM settings but I'm not sure how to go about it. I'm using 2GB Adata 1200+ in dual channel mode with a corsair cooler. I will be starting my water cooling in the next few weeks but I'd like to get settings that I know will boot so I can give them thorough testing when I've better cooling.
I know I'm jumping the gun a little but would someone like to give this lady a helping hand in the right direction?

Dimm Voltage
Bios 2.10V = 2.224V in Everest
Bios 2.08V = 2.XX V in Everest (haven't tried that yet)
Bios 2.06V = 2.176V in Everest
Bios 2.04V = 2.160V in Everest
Bios 2.02V = 2.128V in Everest
In order to get Corsiar's Dominator PC8500 working (as it would hang with Dram Det) I had to:
-use my old PC6400 ram (which worked fine)
-boot into Bios and set Dram Voltage to 2.10V
-Set Transaction Boost: Enable, Boost Level=0
-Reboot to make sure Bios settings took
-Install PC8500 Ram
-System boots now so, in the Bios I manually set Dram Frequency to 1066MHz and Dram Command 2T
-Dial back Dram Voltage to 2.02V (haven't tried 2.00V yet).
-I think N/S Bridge chipset voltage is set to Auto.

I just got my HD3870s today and finally was able to boot up. First thing I did was update my BIOS to 0907 which went fine. Then I configured my HDs as RAID, rebooted and then hit Ctrl-I to get into the raid manager, I set my Raid 0 array up on 2 of my 500GB WD HDDs. Rebooted and then tried to install XP. First thing I got was a BSOD that says there was an error and to run chkdsk /f. Not knowing what to do I restarted and deleted the raid array and set the configuration back to IDE in the settings. Restarted and windows began to install fine. After it finished installing it rebooted and got to the load screen and I got the same BSOD again.
My specs:
Q6600 G0
4GB Ballistix Tracer PC-6400
(2) HIS HD3870 ICEQ
(3) WD 500GB SATA HDs
Corsair HX620
Maximus Formula
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Edit: Tried removing 2 sticks of RAM, got the same error. Tried 1 stick, same error. So I don't think it's the memory causing the problem. Should I try installing the ICH9R controller during XP setup. Thought I only had to do that when installing RAID, but I couldn't even get to installing XP before getting that BSOD when I had the raid array configured.
Ok here are my stable settings for my Q6600 at 3.8 470x8 with my memory at DDR2-1128 5-5-5-15
BTW, my memory is warrantied up to 2.5V so don't try dialing in the VDIMM right off the bat.....I just set mine to a little less than 2.5V to begin testing, then I'm going to back it down to find the minimum stable settings on the VDIMM.
Less NBV may be needed for others, but my chip seems to need it in order to run these memory settings at such a high FSB.
As long as your temps are ok (I load at 45C) then no harm done.......Intel specs the X38 NBV at 1.95V max :eek:

auto voltage on overclocked RAM is just one of the things that could be your problem. That and the 333 strap at that bus speed. Try the 400 strap and set you RAM voltage.
icecpu,
Strap = 400
DRam freq = 920
Twister = Auto
Dram Volt = 2.2V
Try setting your transbooster relax to 1......I had to do this in order to get stable with any dividers on an FSB over 415.Quote:

It helps for stability when OCing your graphics cards really high. If I drop my PCI-E to 110 MHz I am not stable at my clocks......950/1075 in Crossfire.Quote:

So have you tried increasing the voltage? I used to get that when I first bought the board with my Ballistix.....they required more voltage than the stock 1.8V to POST, so I had to buy a stick of value RAM and POST with it, then set the voltage, shutdown, then install the Ballistix.Quote:

Finally got my computer up and running, think I have my raid 0 setup on 2 500GB HDDs correctly, does this HDTach seem about right? As well it's showing the full 1TB size in My Computer, shouldn't it only be showing the size of one drive with a raid 0 setup? Thanks

Open the Matrix Storage Manager application, right click on your RAID array and enable "Write Back Cache". It'll increase your performance.Quote:

I have a question of my own. I'm currently at 9x400 at 1.35v vcore with vdrop pencil mod on the board, as described on the OP. Works great :)
It's perfectly stable and when I get back from work I'm going to continue pushing it.
However since I attached my older drives it takes a much longer time to get past the hardware detection screen. The system stalls after finding my USB mouse, which is after the memory detection. I hear one of my drives do a little work and no matter what I change in the bios it always does this. The stall takes about 20 seconds. I also tried playing with the ATA(PI) detection time but that doesn't change anything, like I said.
With my E8400 i have problem running with 8.5x multi.
It is stable with 9x425 but not with 8.5x450.
Bios is latest 0907.
Yup that sure boosted it, thanks! :D

Try setting the trans booster relax level to 1 or increasing the NBV. You need to turn the DRAM voltage down to 2.16-2.18 because the board overvolts it. On mine I get 2.22V when I set it to 2.18V. I used to run Ballistix, and they're known to die from overvolting.....so you want to be careful. :)Quote:

Take the NBV up to 1.65V just for now, as you can test lower settings after you're stable. Just make sure that the temps stay around 45C and you're fine.
I see a few with what sounds liek the same but just to make sure. After flashing to v0903 again from v0802, I cannot load to XP with anything other then F2 to continue and load defaults. If I so much as F1 to enter CMOS and then exit, it hangs at DET rAM even if I select Load defaults. I can run XP if I press F2 and then flash back with Live Update v6.10.02 for XP x64) and now all the same. I can EZ-Flash to v0907 and same thing. So I use live Update to go back to v0802 again and still the same.
I can enter and resume S3 (sleap/stand by) I can enter S4 (deap sleap/hibernate) but have to go through CMOS reset like before to get the F2 menue to continue and XP will resume. I cant even restart without haveing to clear CMOS to get to F2 to continue.
Histery: ended up at BETA BIOS v0907 a month ago (always EZ-Flash) and rolled back to v0802 via ASUS Live Update v6.10.02, cause of issues with ACPI issues
I had nothing but good 4 months beforr
No man that is not the thing because 8x450 is ok with my settings on voltages/settings.Quote:

Are you using settings as I described? If not, then what?
Look, cpu multi and chip multi are different. there is a bit of delay in converting this as bus speeds are different. Different multi's require different delays, as each time you adjust speeds, ratio for the busses is different. One setting may work for one multi, does not mean it works for others!:fact:
I'm getting stable at 470 FSB now , trying to get cpu voltage down a little, do I really need to set relax level to 1 or 0 is fine , everytime I set timing manually I get hang at DET DRAM , so for now I can't do anything for timing just auto detect at 5-5-5-18 , which is not bad ,
For the DRAM voltage , is this board really overvolts it , what program can I use to see the DRAM voltage ,
Thanks for the inputs

Hey. Totally n00b question, so apologies in advance.
I'm trying to find Vista x64 chipset drivers for this board.
When I first got the board, I installed 8.3.0.1013, but Intel doesn't say anything about that being for X38.
***EDIT: I figured it out. I was just freaking out that Intel didn't explicitly say 8.3.0.1013 was for X38.
This board is so whacked..I can leave enabled, disabled, auto, whatever, boots just fine. Some people just have bum boards, it seems...people having issues I see @ 550FSB..but they are @ like 400FSB...:shrug: My first board ran really hot and then died after a month or so, but my second seems great...:(Quote:

DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled
DRAM Dynamic Write Control: Disabled
PCIE Frequency: 100
etc
But remember this is DDR3 MB. If I find anything that relates to X38 other then just DDR2 settings I'll post.
OK this is my best stable setting now , only sometime hang at DET DRAM when I restart computer , still cannot figure out what is the problem

hallo mates...can anybody help me?..i cant change on my maximus formula
CPU Ratio Control from auto to manual ...couse i wanna change
Ratio CMOS Setting.
i m in windows and i ve got on 6x333 and if i start to do something it s change to 9,5 x 333 why?..
i wanna have still 9,5x333
what i hate to change in bios?..corry for my lanquage..i m slovakian from europe
We need information:Quote:

If speedstep or C1E are enabled windows (cpu-z) will read it at lower multi when CPU is idling. When CPU is working, the multi will go up! This is normal operation for CPU! Check bios to see if either are enabled.

i dont understand this my temperature..where is problem?...
http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hhhhko1.jpg
my temperature is 11C i don t understand this...why...?..please help me..where is problem?..cant be 11 C
Try with Coretemp 0.96.1Quote:

is it real 22C?....
i m using thermalright extreme witch noctua fan..artic silver 5 paste...
case is coolermaster stracker 832
i dont undestand...ps probe showing same as core temp 11C
Mb has 38C
NB has 50C
SB has 47C
and processor has still 11C...
please help me... :mad:
I had same problem with E6850 with another version of Core Temps last year. It would show 17C until they updated and fixed it a few revisions later. I believe there are problems with cpu temp monitoring programs reading E8000 series correctly.Quote:

Bios 907
which version?..of everest?
CoreTemp 0.96.1 shows a 20-21 difference in temps at idle. Do you think its the probe, mobo, or the chip that is messed up?
so now i have core temp 096,1 and showing 22 C...is that right?..
Hard to say right now. Many are still having problems with current coretemps. Some complain temps are to high for them at 40C idle.Quote:

but i think is right..that temperature...with that newest core temp...
cause i saw some E8400 on 4ghz with tem 46c...
i used same everest..shows 11C...
core temp 0.96.1 showing core 0 12C core 2 16 ....
when i running 3dmark06 core 0 shows... 17C and core 2... 16C

I would up your NB volts to around 1.47 - 1.49 to start withQuote:

if you can post some hardware info that would help alot
And depending on your cpu your vcore for 3.6 are a tad low
thnks for the reply i got asus maximus , crucial ballistix pc2 8500 , q6600 ,8800gt watercooling switech220,
ok i changed the vcore to 1.45, and nbv1.47 and ram 2.00 and its still failing the test? so u got any advice

I changed the vcore to 1.46 now its stable and working thkns for the advice i was woundering what values you tihnk i should use if i want to get to 3.8?
Just up vcore and ram volts (if you overclock the ram), you may also need to up NB volts for 3.8GHz I would start at 1.49 on the NBQuote:

Just dropped a E8400 into my Formula SE (907). My DTS temps are pegged at 45C no matter what I do or what program I use. Looks like the 8XXX series is kinda odd...
With bios 0907 the difference is 10oC from probe to coretemp with E8400.
Just like what i had with 0903 and E6750 cpu.
So in my opinion 0903 reads E6xx temps well and 0907 E8xxx temps
Sounds like a Penrn core and this is normal for any TM capable CPU's since P4 ^xx. This saves power and reduces heat at idle or light load.Quote:

EIST is BIOS and chipset controlled so it uses more system resorce and is slower in responding since it has to go through chipset and back. TM2+C1E (C+P State) is much quicker as it is on die and reacts almost seamlessy. Now C+P State only gives the low and high multi at any time, nevedr inbetween. Whereas EIST will step multi from low to high and so you will feel this lag as it steps .5 (for Penryn) each time 1 hole number for Conroe & Prescott).
So in CMOS, disable EIST and enable TM and C1E mode. If overclocked, ASUS ACPI BIOS will automatically disable EIST for you as it is known to be unstable at FSB over 400 anyways. (Only Penryn 1600's will utilize this at 400FSB right now.
Now ASUS does not fully comply to C+P State as it is designed when you take vcore and multi out of AUTO. This is where the vcore would reduce to match the multi when idle or light load. But reducing at least the multi will reduce some heat and wear too.
I went more into this for all so others wll have a better understanding of C Stete and P State functions for ACPI (Advanced Configuration Power Interface).
If in the end, you want fixed multi, then just disable C1E wich reads the VID and Ratio from TM table off CPU. Now it can run full throttle but still have overheat protection of TM (Thermal Magament). In this mode, CPU ratio will only reduce n case of high heat to protect itself and or allow you to enter S4 or power down.
