Where are you guys connecting the SATA DVDrom drives? Sata ports 1-6 (ICH8) or 7-8 (JMicron ACHI)?

CPU temp add of +7 on BIOS. Voltage and FSB etc as follow:

I am still trying to wrap my head around the bios settings. All the memory subtiming, gtl ref voltage, etc... Big learning curve for me. 14 months cursed with 680i, kinda set in my ways.
Will these "beta" bios' support a e8500? It's getting close to release.

dudes, i take it that a screw can be used as a grounding point when measuring the voltage?
yes. always be careful when checking though.Quote:

Damn, I am a happy camper, 100% loaded with Boinc WCG on all 4 cores. This board finally made my quad dream come true. I hope to drop core voltage to down around 1.45V if things run as I think they are. I am so glad to be off of nvidia 680i.

Good Luck with it
Dede99, which bios version are you using?
I am curious because you said in that X38 thread that cpu-z works for you, with me it hard reboots the whole rig.
im using the latest bios and cpu-z 1.43 with the weird prog you have to run first for vista 64. (i know the question wasnt at me)Quote:

Can you share your 450x9 bios template?
Can you run 3DMark01 ad OCCT?
Thanks and great results!
disable driver signature? you mean for core temp, cpu-z does not require that.Quote:

i will download 3d01 and make a run, and grab OCCT, although boinc will punish all 4 cores and memory more realisticly and I believe harder than prime95 or OCCT as I have had 24 hour Prime95 and OCCT 1 hour stable rigs before that died under boinc.Quote:

K Linflas no worries, I have to get away for 10 days (Wed 16th till Mon 28th) and I won't be able to play with my Xmas toy as much as I wanted . My first board was RMA so I got little time to get it to run 450x9 till then.Quote:

But I think the droop control is just doing good job so I'll leave it OFF for now until I know better :)
This is what I got so far, but for some reason I can't finish 24hrs OCCT (beta) it it reboots the PC in some point:
http://i18.tinypic.com/72av71c.png
have you tried slightly more CPU / VTT / NB CORE?
Yes and it doesn't seam to respond well I guess my CPU temp gets too high (72oC peak on Smartguardian) and it's probably due to a bad Apogee GT contact with it. I will try to sort this out when I come back from vacations by the end of the month.Quote:

nice going there Joreibr, why you need to stress test it for 24 hour's ? I would never do this except you really do extreme stuff on your computer like video editing or 3D animations
maybe you also need to change the GTL a few 'points' , like these people http://edgeofstability.com/articles/.../gtl/gtl7.html went from 108/110 to 112/112 and they fixed their prime stability problem...
i realy hope my x38 turns up tomorrow, im getting desperate :hump:
teasing me with those 4Ghz screen shots too ;) :D
That is the issue, it is vista only problemQuote:

wow i need a quad and a second 3870
okay since this is not just an overclocking thread but also a discussion thread among other things... what do you think are the prospects of using a geforce card in an x38 board... SLI is a remote possibility, i've heard that you need to modify the bios to do it, or maybe even just the drivers ... or can something other than a graphics card use the x16 lane, such as a high powered PPU coming out in the near future?

Don't ever count on SLI, ever. The drivers for older cards can be modded but NVIDIA encrypted the new ones so you cannot modify them. As to a hardware mod, not oging to happen either.Quote:

You guy's talking about Gskill and OCZ ram's how about Crucial Balllistix Tracer I was going to buy those bc I think they work very well with our board's like I have seen, if anybody could tell me what's really better I would appreciate it :)
just checked the UPS tracking thingy & they have just updated & its now in Barking UK. that was the first update since leaving the deport in Herenboegen on saturday morning 2:00am.
so it should be in a van & on it way tomoz :)
ordering with HPM is'nt a good idea from the UK if u dont have a paypal account & u need what ever it is ure buying quickly.
after all i did a direct transfur @ my bank last monday & the money was taken out the nextday with & agent's charge of 10 euros from the german bank. then nothing goes through with HPM till i get the UPS email on friday.
on top of the 10 euro agents charge i had already payed a charge at my bank to get the money wired quickly lol rather than 4-5days with out a charge :shrug:
just get a paypal account then :D its free...
ill defo be ordering from them again
I just ordered Crucial DDR2 BallistiX TRACER PC8500 2048MB CL5 Kit :D hope they will arrive end of next week.!
this board just loves the ballistixQuote:

doing htat mine runs at 877/1377
Well got the board a few days ago after owning the P35-T2R a few monts.
The board take's a bit longer to boot and doesn't handle the 480 FSb the P35 could.
But !
RAM OC is completely sick :shocked:
I can run my 4x 1GB Ballistix PC8500 at DDR1273 on performance level 6 @ 2.36V ! :D

I tested all the beta biosses wich are out but the only one and by far the most stable one is the only official one and 1st release ! :up:
At a FSB of 424 there's no reason why the board shouldn't be able to run at a PL of 6. Adjust Clock Delays and the ram should be able to hit a higher speed.Quote:

Why has DFI changed the name's of these options btw.
In the new beta's they use the term "XXXps" instead of the normal digits.
The name change more accurately depicts the settings. Since we are changing the signaling time it's best that the actual time delay is displayed.Quote:
