Yes, you are right ; memtest gave no errors . :rolleyes:Quote:

I think to wait for a bit , what do you think ?
Edit :
Yes i know Leeghoofd ( empty head ) he knows what he does .I couldn't meet him here for a day.
Yes , it seems that my NB 1.34 is high a bit ; bcause my NB is about 46-47C on probeII and gives alarm when reached to 46.
Your at 413fsb x8? If you want 3.4ghz really bad then I would quit your blend and go back to 425. Use my setting but maybe start just a bit higher at first with FSB and NB volts and then work your way down if your wish.Quote:

You just want your Ram to pass a blend or Ram test with OCCT right now. When you get your NB/FSB/RAM setting stable you are good to go ahead and start tweaking your ram by lowering the PL and using Static Read Control

Now , is there any modify needed , waiting for you .
I did not get blend stopped , yet.
Edit : Almost past 2 hours and stable.
Haven't applied above settings yet.
PortCitySlim , if you confirm these settings i will aplly.
Is there anybody ? :(
Edit: Stable for about 130 mins.
Any1 alrdy figures out what Mem Charger really does, is it actually increasing "drive strenght" what i suspected. And howabout DRAM read training?
Can you do a bandwith test in everest with those settings plz ?... then try to go one setting lower on the ram speed (I never used 425FSB before, no idea which speed it is) and enable static read control, might give ya way better bandwith then ya current settings... also I think a lower pl can be expected then... I'm not at home so I cannot verify them settings...Quote:

As far as stopping your current blend that is up to you, if that setting that your are blend testing with is where you want to be at then maybe you finish that to your liking. Tulu, if this helps these are the complete full setting I used to get stable at 3.4ghz. You will need to use your own Vcore and CPU PLL though as your chip seems to be a better overclocker then mine. Also you might need more ram volts since my kit runs stock at 1.8-19v.

Has anybody took the heatpipe thingies away and used some aftermarket cooler
with it? My SB gets very hot and was wondering if I could cool it with water or
bigger HS. My overclock seems to be limited by my crappy proc and cooling but
every little thing I could do to improve the situation I would do.
hey tulu try undervolting your ram and underclocking it i have some ocz flexII 1200 ram and i could never get it stable at 1200 with 2.1-2.3 (rated voltage) but one day i decided to run it at 1000 (auto strap) and with a lower voltage 1.9 and boom 100% :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing stable no joke 1.:banana::banana::banana::banana:ing 9 dude ant its stable but if i push it to 2.0 or 1.98 its un:banana::banana::banana::banana:ing stable even at 1000mhz so give it a try might work for you too....i think this board doesnt like to play nice with ocz ram or with high voltage ram i dont know....
Can running the cpu at the lowest possible vcore damage it in some way? Probably a stupid question, but anyway! :P

No, undervolting is not going to cause the cpu damage, it's exactly the same as not supplying sufficient voltage to an overclocked processor - errors in processed data are the only ramifications. However with a minimum vcore of ~0.85 (as PCS said) you are going to be very limited speed wise, probably lower than stock.
Oh, and concerning the OCZ ram issue, it use to be D9 based, and have no issues with high volts etc, however now it is based on another IC tyoe, it seems to be very different. However if you cannot get it stable at stock speeds, voltage and timings, rma it.

Any way side note, Asus kind of pissed me off last night the tech I spoke with Michael Level 3 Indiana helpdesk, didn't update my case# after I spoke with him for an hour and never called me back when he said he would. I then called back and got Joe level 2 Indiana helpdesk, and he was a :banana::banana::banana::banana: and he ended up hanging up on me when I told him that what he was telling me made no sense and when I called back I got him again and he said he hung up because I acted like I didn't want an rma??
I am going to send this one back I guess but, what I noticed is that after 0803 they implemented the cpu margin optimization and I'm begining to wonder if for some reason my cpu doesn't like it any more after my other board crapped out on me. I wonder if the mother board blew out what ever that setting is on my cpu.. I still haven't called back yet I hung up on Joe to give him a taste of his own medicine. I will probably run by what I'm thinking to the highest level tech possible over there and see what they think. If it ends up being they blew out my cpu with that setting whatever it might be, I am going to have them get me a new one.
first OC attemp ...hehe still trying to feel it again as I think my last good OC was during the northwood days :D lol

I've some good news . :)
I think i got stability ; yes it's stable for about 2 hours.

A big thanks goes to all of you . :yepp: :clap:
@ xTKxhom3r , maybe i can try later ; for now i'm happy with 2.1v . Thank you very much . :)
Vista never had that F6 screen like XP.Quote:

Sorry I meant at the screen where it says click here to load drivers but, it doesn't matter right now any way because you already have Vista installed any way. Just update your drivers sorry bout the confusion.Quote:

I have a feeling the P45 is not going to be good for high stable memory OC'ing, (which is proven with the DDR3 boards struggling to get anything over 1333 stable) just good for around the 600 FSB mark with 45nm duals.
However with poor memory latency and speed, and a high PL at any given FSB/ram speed, the P45 seems to be inferior to the X38/X48. P45 seems to be quite disappointing actually.
Looks like there is still room for improvement, good going so far :up:Quote:
