EK WaterBlock Supreme
Idon't Wanna Rip Heat Sink On Mosfet Maybe If I Get This WB I Must Get Out Heat Sinck
Please Help Me
(sorry 4 my english)
I am so getting this mobo !
Last run for my 3870X2.....well maybe

Well finally i get my system stable after so many trials and errors for a month, i want to thank my mates Cryptik and Simps for all the help :up::up:
I discovered that tough i could pass IBT i couldn't pass BLEND for more than 20mins, so i focused on that, and finally passed Blend 1h+ then i was able to pass IBT various runs...wich i never could...
I'm using same settings that i passed memtest for this 1200 PL7 Stronger
this is what i get many runs of IBT and BLEND

Congrats!
andressergio,
You finnaly made it! I knew you were going to get it stable sooner or later.
Congrats...
Well, I would like to share to everybody 494FSB for 24/7 on a quad with DDR2-1186 5-5-5-18 PL8 STRONGER and the low board voltage it takes to do so.
This board is good stuff. Lets keep this thread alive!

That was without the 4870X2, I will do a few air runs in teh morning with it.
Wife needs a hand with some bios settings, this is going to be a long night I think.....
Post up some of her results in the morning as well, running her E8400 first
Does anybody know which settings is correct for getting OCZ reaper PC8500 RAM stable? 4x 1gb. There is no chance to get these stable on this board while overclocking, and on the old commando I had no problem. Please, I don't wanna go back to commando :(
OMG, that was with 3870X2! I thought it was done with your new 4870X2. I guess good results like that can make people confuse :)Quote:

Looks good. Just wondering why you dont use 7.5x or 8x multi for 3.6GHz or even higher? You'd get better performance from an extra 100 - 200MHz cpu speed with lower FSB than at 7 x 500 FSB. I would have thought if your cpu can do 500 FSB it should be able to hit 3.6GHz like a lot of Q6600's.Quote:

@Vivid - sorry I have no idea about water blocks I air cool.
You get a slight increase in Vantage and 3DMark running the chipset drivers.Quote:

I would recommend using them, I have had no ill effects and have run them since day 1 on both boards, I would get the latest P45 drivers from Intel not Asus
Cheers. I don't run EPU-6. Just installed the drivers off the CD, will look for updated ones from intel later on.
@Vivid
Yes you can use the ek block on this board i have one on mine with the lga775 Mounting Bracket

I have gotten to the point where I am testing for DDr CHA/CHB NB DDR2 Ref.
With my current settings, Prime got to 18 mins before I shut it down myself.
Note: This was after achieveing best NB GTL.;
NB GLT:
+10- 30 sec
+20- No post
-10- 17 mins
-20- No post
-15- 18mins + shut down when it beat -10.
I've run a couple of tests for the CHa/CHb NBDDR2 and haven't gotten prime to stop. Tho I have stopped it myself after 20-25 mins. I know I should let it run til it stops on its own, to get a base.
My question here is: should I be taking temps into consideration here, or just keep letting it run til Prime fails?
Hotest temps Ive seen so far (with Prime running)
CPU: 49
Core 1: 50
Core 2: 49
NB: 52
SB: 48
Thats gonna be alot of testing +12.5 +12.5 +50 thru -12.5 -12.5 -50,
or am I missing out on something here?
Heres my sttings so far: (not looking to get but 3.6GHz) as this is my very
1st overclock. Once I get 3.6 running stable, I will try more.

Your guide is working out great for me so far:clap:,
Thanks
I don't know what's the deal with this piece of junk, everytime I get it to boot up and I try to do any kind of overclocking, it goes into it's non-posting DET_DRAM mode.
Sounds like either a bios issue, or a faulty MCH. Can you get it to boot dual channel yet? If you do get it to boot up (single or dual channel) can you get into windows and run any stability tests on it? Also in bios voltage monitor, are there any out of spec voltages or are they all normal?
It still won't post with two sticks in dual channel. I don't have a hard disk attached to the board at the moment as I was just trying to do some high DDR2 clock memtest stressing. The voltages and temperatures look fine in the BIOS. The weird thing is when it does its DET_DRAM thing, the voltiminder LEDs simply do not light up. I'm getting a lot of hangs in the BIOS too.

That is exactly the right kinda test to do, to find your best settings. See how different they are from each other, and how bad some of them are? You are on the right path. But you should test more NB GTL's. Like from -80 to +80. Maybe there are some even better value for you.
And yes, to find the best CHa/CHb NBDDR2, you should be testing all that range. This test is much less sensitive, so it might give you some trouble and take some time to find the right ones. You might raise your fsb and mem clock a bit, so tests fail after only 3 - 5 minutes, so you won't need to wait a lot between tests...
I see you are at the begining of the guide. When you get to the skews part, your system will become a lot more stable, and you will push it much higher.
Nice going there!

Look real close around the dimm slot area for swollen/fat capacitors if you see any its RMA.Quote:

I'm fairly certain something is wrong with the DIMM slots now, I'm getting freezes/failures in memtest at stuff like DDR2-800 CAS5 with 2.10V.
well i just went to fire up my rma board using 4 sticks of cellshock pc-8000 cl4 and guess what happend? nothing ,absolutley nothing.board lights up but never boots. so i try two sticks in the blue slots,boots up just fine.so i try the same two sticks in the white slots,nothing.so i try one stick in the fist blue slot ,boots fine,same stick in the second blue slot,boots up fine. then the first white slot,boots fine,second white slot,NO BOOT! this is utterly insane. this the third bad board.i am so disgusted with asus right now.
