hallo mate can you explane me this?..
.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
look

save it as a jpg and resize it since the picture doesnt need to be your entire desktop nor 1280x1024
I will remember this! (I thought it just make link to picture from the internet- I'm used this from other forums)
Its still in png, but is under 200kb:cool:

anyone try flashing to the rampage formula bios? i see that the beta is up on the asus website but im a too skirred to try myself... im wondering if anyone else has had success with this
Hi have just got this board and i wanted to know whats the different between a rev 1.02g and a 1.03g! Have got the 1.03g and my friends got the 1.02g!
The problem apparently is starting to getting recognition. Remember, you are not the only one with this problem. Do a google search using the words "E8400 temperature problem" and see what comes upQuote:

With a non-removable bios chip it will take a brave person to try this.Quote:

I ran SPI 32M and 2 hrs prime and it seemed to be stable. Then tonight I noticed my temps at core 0/1 were bigger than core 2/3 and after a SPI32m it produced an error.. Especially core 0 can reach 10-12Celcius higher than core 2/3. Core 1 is 5-6Celcious higher than core 2/3.. The fact is that cpu0 which depicts by far the higher idle/load temp is the only one that causes the instability even at 1.4vcore.. It reaches at 75C-78C sometimes and of course causes instability, while the other cores don't have problems whatsoever. Cpu1 reaches max 70-71 cpu2/3 max 68-69..
I tried to up the vcore to 1.425 and 1.45 but it only made cpu0 reach 75-78C quicker.. So the problem seems not to be the vcore but the hight temp that only this core depicts under load..
So what do you think is the case here? Do I need to test something else in the settings? Or are we talking about a uneven cpu surface? It could also be my Ultra 120 extreme that has the problem..
What do you suggest me to do in order to reach a stable 3.6GHz O/C?
I bought an open box Maximus Formula from a local retailer.
The BIOS it had on it was the 907... I could not change any settings in the GURU without getting a NO POST.
SO...I thought maybe a bad bios flash, so I downgraded to the 903....NOW, I can OC all I want, everything worked great to OC manually.
So.... I upgraded to the 907 again, flashed it the same way as the 903 that worked, .....NOW, I can't get it to post if I change anyting in the OC section of the BIOS.
Any ideas why the 907 will not let me even raise the FSB to 375 without a no post, yet the 903 will allow me to OC to 3.6..??
What are your components? I used 0903 and 0907 and didn't see any differences in performance, temps, etcQuote:

Im guess if there is no difference It wont really matter if the 907 works, but I am just curious why the 903 will aloow me to do whatever I want in the BIOS and it boots fine, but when I put the 907 on, I can't post if I change anything at all..... the 907 will bott up and run fine as long as I keep it set to "load defaults" but as soon as I try to change anything in it, "NO POST"
I flashed the 907 the exact same way I flashed the 903, so I don't think it would be a bad flash...and I have tried the 907 I downloaded from the ASUS site and the one that is listed at the beginning of this forum, both did the same thing.

Your northbridge voltage is looking REALLY high to me and might be adding to the heat around the CPU. I have 1.5v running through my NB and it runs 400mhz just fine. I'm also assuming you're using DDR2-800 ram, you might want to try running it at 800mhz for a while and see if you still fail the stress tests. Prime95 the system for at least 8 hours and if it passes then you know the RAM was being pushed too far.Quote:

Change the FSB strap to northbridge. Each strap has different settings for RAM speed. If you can't find what you're looking for you'll need to lower or raise your FSB.Quote:

But lowering VCore does not work with VCore set manually.
All in all you can say, that EIST is useless when OCing. C1 lowering multiplicator does even work with 500x7 for me and I`m using it while OCing, no problems.
Here are my settings for 417 X 9. So far it's 48 hours folding stable. I tried 423 X 9 and it would boot to Windows but failed prime95 immediately. I would have had to use over 1.5 vcore for stability. That was more than I wanted to put through it for 24/7 use. Core temps, 44,45,44 & 42. NB 30C. Ambient 70F.

It's around 96 C. I posted in this threat a link to original Intel thermal design spec sheet, whre you can find this value. I habe 69 C unloaded and around 76 loaded. This are values from 100% stable overcloced. So your NB temps are pretty good and u needn't care.Quote:

Agreed. If you read this thread (item 3) http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=162085 , you would know that Anantech (raju) found that over 47C on the NB caused instabilities. Having read Raju's posts on many boards, I would not question his conclusions. :up:Quote:

Do what I said with the MCH voltage and set the timings manually, i.e. 5-5-5-12.
On mine 1200MHz will work at down to 2.06V set in the BIOS though I run it at 2.10V at 1133MHz due to my Q66090 overclock.
thanks mate...i m gonna try...i ll let zou know tommorow
Can anyone get your PC8500 ram to either:
- 4-4-4-12
-higher then 1066MHz without having to OC to get it?
If so what do you need to do exactly? I cannot get 4-4-4-12 at 2.10V in bios at 400 FSB (E8400). I haven't tried a higher frequency because it's a pain to have to take out the ram, use PC6400 to boot back up then reinstall the pC8500 ram when something goes wrong. This bios 907 is the pits when it comes to ram adjustments with my PC8500!
Have you tried slots 2 & 4?Quote:

DDR2 Controller REF Voltage
This is the dram vtt. Should be half of the vdimm in most cases.
It helps stabilizing the vdimm. Leave it at DDR2_REF and use also
the white slots. These seems well so as not to have ripple on vdimm when
stressing memory

BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER
Caused by: Nostromo N52 Speed pad
-Happens after windows has loaded to desktop and loads drivers
-Does not happen if device is not plugged in, will happen after boot if you plug in regardless.
-Will happen in the absence of PS/2 Keyboard.
-Installed Latest Intel inf Drivers and Nostromo Drivers
This occurred in the past, but usually could be solved by a 3rd or 4th restart. However, as I clock higher it becomes more prevalent around 440-450
-Tried SBv 1.2
-Tried SB 1.5v = 1.6~
-SBv 1.1 & SB1.5v= 1.6 Success. Restarts are Good, Bug Gone...right?
This occurred in the past, but usually could be solved by a 3rd or 4th restart. 333 is the latest strap I'm trying since it only pushes to DDR2-1080 on 5:6. Restarts were great, it was like it was solved by 1.6v SB.
-Lowered SB 1.6v to 1.55v and it was back
-Switched back to my saved profile for 400 Strap 435*9 known stable.
-Restart it happens again. SB was at 1.5 in that saved 400 Strap Profile.
-Restarted again, only this time start opening folders and just kind of going psycho to try to "fool" it into missing my little bug. Imagine a burglar hiding from the police...
And its gone... Anyone have a Nostromo N52 they can verify this with?
***UPDATE***
-Tried 333 Strap Profile and Restarted - Didn't Touch any Keys on Nostromo or on Mx518 Mouse.
-Got Bugcode BSOD again.
-Restarted
-Tried Mashing Buttons upon XP desktop bootup
-Open files with Mouse, pressed keys on Nostromo (More like Mashing)
-It Works!
one question...
does our boards require more voltage to OC the cpu than others?
it seems like others are reaching 3.5 on around 1.3volts while we need 1.3volts to reach 3.0...or is that just my board....
help please!
Brisk, it depends. On my QX6700, I need less vCore than on a P5N32-E. But on my E8400, I need a lot more than most people are reporting (1.45v @ 4.23).
Do you have a B3 or a G0 Q6600?
I ordered a new E8400 to see if I can rule-out the chip.
ok so I own this board and the evga 780i and my options are to keep this and use a 3870x2 or use the 780i board and 2 8800gtx's.... Thoughts??
I already read this, but again, if you read my postings you would know that my MB works rock stable (testet 48 hours running prime on both cores of my CPU and 3DMark 06 simultaniously).Quote:

The answer is of caurse that Intel is right and my rockstable low idle temp of ~69 C prove this.
I can't tell you why anansdtech has problems with temps that are on the very low side of the allowed temps. Maybe they should RMA their board.
Also when you read all posts from http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...60945&page=156
you'll notice that there are indeed more users without problems running NB temps of 50 C.
What I just want to point here clearely out is that noone needs to care about totally good NB temps below 90 C. This is what was testet from Intel and this is what many examples prove.
One question: are u guys with that low NB temps using the little fan that is in the package that anandtec recommends for cooling the NB? That would (maybe) explain your ultralow temps of 45 C or even less.
..i m really nervous..couse that ram doesn t work.. i tied everithink,,if i change somethink in bios system freez....
look... i have to have everythink on auto...CPU clocking is ok but a want get more from ram

i just got my maximus formula. the problem is i can't get to bios setup with my keyboard. it's razer tarantula with USB connection. is there a fix?
I see on a lot of setups that the PCI-E frequency is set above 100Mhz. Usually 110Mhz. I thought I'd give that a shot myself but during a 3dmark session I got a BSOD. So what's the increase in PCI-E freq. for?
Other boards required that you increase PCIe frequency when you OC'd or else you run into component stability problems (HD, etc). However, from what I've seen so far Asus boards don't require you to increase the PCIe frequency when you OC.Quote:

No problem, one of the main reason why PCI-E Frequency 100 was used instead of auto was to prevent it from going over or under 100. However, that was a long time ago. As you can see motherboards have improved since then. On my P5W I had mine set to Auto with the CPU set to 3.6GHz with 2 HDs and never had any problems. However, I didn't have a raid either :p:Quote:

I didnt buy the SE to cool it with a fan:rofl:Quote:

very nice rare cpu u got there:), mine got exact same PFO, but it has a VID of 1.2125 :up:
I did try that method as well. yes it did drop some on mine. but i didnt thought that was not good enough so i added a 80mm fan, standing on the vga. with a 80mm fan to blow 1/2 at the NB 1/2 on the memory was getting about 42C idle room temp 24cQuote:

With out fan idle i wrote down the following temps, idle, at the time
Cpu 31C,MB 48C, NB 45-48C, SB 43C
on load was getting mb,nb,sb aprox 55C
now runnign watercooling and getting top 42C on load
NB core is reported 1.70v by everest
Bios 0907
Ps i regret i did not remove and re apply thermal paste to it before the WC was installed.
I'm at 3.5Ghz stable with vcore at 1.46V (too high?) and I have trouble at 3.6Ghz, it keeps failing OCCT after couple mins or so. And whenever I set Transaction Booster to Disable or Enable, system won't boot. This is my settings for 3.5 OCCT stable so maybe you guys can make some suggestions for 3.6?

Currently running at 3.7GHz, was wondering if I could get 3.8GHz or even the coveted 4.0GHz? :D
My Maximus is on water, and kept in a cold 61F(Today) Ohio basement.
This is a screen shot I just took minutes ago, using the BIOS settings listed below.

Things that seem to be currently true on my system:
If I enable Transaction Booster with all other BIOS setting the same as listed above, the system will err out on the LCD Poster during the RAM check.
It dosen't seem to matter if I use the 333 or the 400 NB FSB Strap, If I set my FSB Frequency above 414, Prime95 will register an error within 45 minutes. The higher you set it above 414, the quicker you receive the error. OCCT is not as pickey. Prime95 was the first to complain using a 415 FSB Frequency.
Doing some fine tuning...
I walked the NB voltage down to 1.49v before starting to get Prime95 errors. I then moved the voltage back up to 1.51v and successfully primed for 1.5 hours. 1.51v Is what I am currently using, and is listed above.
I started to see how much CPU voltage it takes for me to successfully run @ 3.7GHz. A BIOS setting of 1.46250v has already passed a 1.5 hour Prime95 test error free for me. I still continued the process down to a BIOS setting of 1.45v's. Prime95 began to register errors at this point. I set my CPU voltage back up to 1.46250v and am currently using it for my keeper setting.
Note: I am currently running on 1 2GB stick of ram in the White slot closest to the CPU. The other stick would not allow my system to boot no matter what slot I tried it in. LCD Poster would fail the RAM check.
My RAM is rated at 1.8v's and 5-5-5-18 by Corsair.
^^^to this guy... here is my settings for just below 4ghz... and imma run this every day, by the time this cpu burns up *been overclocking for years and years and years... even oc'd a amd 80486dx4 to 112mhz and ive NEVER EVER seen a processor go bad from general everyday use with these volts* it will be long past overdue for an upgrade.

sorry pics are a few days old before i lapped cpu
going for 4 prime stable this weekend... gonna lap my waterblock as i see its got a few good scratches from bad shipping and bring my cpu up to 2000 grit *1200 right now lapped it yesterday*
temps were mid to high 60's full load depending on amb temps:( now low 60's :)
the epu/loadline calibration on this thing must be working because my idle volts are less than load 1.488 idle 1.496 load... i thought i was supposed to get less volts under load *vdroop* :shrug:
1 last thing... HOW POINTLESS IS THAT SILLY LITTLE FAN THEY INCLUDED TO COOL DOWN THE PWM? LMAO!! A HAMSTER ON A WHEEL COULD GENERATE MORE AIR
why do i have a creative sound icon and a soundmax icon on the bottom right? BECAUSE MY X-FI TOOK A BIG FAT DUMP. thank god for rma

Primed for 1 hour error free. Keeping all setting changes.
That was the easy part... :)
Test - FSB FREQ From 414 to 416 using Prime95 - Result: Core 2 Hardware Failure in 4 minutes.
(Verified current setting still cause errors above a 414 FSB Freq.)
Test - Kept 416 FSB FREQ, but increased FSB Term volts from 1.44 to 1.46 - Result: Core 3 Hardware Failure in 4 minutes.
Test - Kept 416 FSB and FSB Term 1.46v, but also changed:
CPU Voltage : From 1.46250v to 1.506.
CPU PLL Voltage : From 1.50v to 1.56.
Result: Prime95 ran error free for 10 minutes.
Test - Restored FSB Term volts to 1.44
Kept - CPU Voltage of 1.506, and CPU PLL Voltage of 1.56, but also increased FSB FREQ to 418.
Result: Prime95 ran error free for 10 minutes.
(I do not believe upping the Term volts was helping me with my FSB wall. I returned them to what the were and still ran clean with the upped CPU voltages.)
Test - Kept CPU Voltage of 1.506, and CPU PLL Voltage of 1.56, but also increased FSB FREQ to 420.
Result: Prime95 ran error free for 10 minutes.
(Short test but looking good)
Test - Kept CPU Voltage of 1.506, and CPU PLL Voltage of 1.56, but also increased FSB FREQ to 430.
Result: System booted into Vista fine, and had the CPU clocked to 3.87GHz, but Core 3 had a Hardware Failure in 3 minutes.
Test - Kept CPU Voltage of 1.506, and CPU PLL Voltage of 1.56, but also lowered FSB FREQ to 425.
Result: Prime95 ran error free for 10 minutes!
I wanted to see if I could successfully run a 430 FSB, but only up the CPU PLL Voltage, not the CPU voltage:
Test - Kept CPU Voltage of 1.506, but upped CPU PLL Voltage from 1.56 to 1.62, and returned the FSB FREQ to 430.
Result: Hardware Failure in 3 minutes.
Tried again by upping the CPU PLL Voltage more!
Test - Kept CPU Voltage of 1.506, but upped CPU PLL Voltage from 1.62 to 1.64, and kept the FSB FREQ to 430.
Result: Hardware Failure in 3 minutes.
Action Taken: Returned the CPU PLL Voltage to 1.56v
Conclusion: My FSB Frequency wall of 414 was being directly caused by the voltage supplied to the CPU's core. My CPU Voltage setting of 1.46250v (BIOS), only will get me my 3.7GHz on my Q6600.
My new CPU Voltage setting of 1.46250v (BIOS), looks to be good for about 3.8GHz. Everest does read lower than the BIOS'es setting, but how high can I feel good about setting my voltage to in the BIOS for my Q6600?
I think I could have 4.0GHz if I am willing to overvolt my CPU a bit more?
These are my current best BIOS 907 settings: Always looking for advice. ;)

When testing fsb it should be good to reduce performance level.
This can help you a lot since nb voltage can be reduced.
For example i can go to 490@5:6 strap333 with 1.5nb voltage and disabled/0=>PL=7.
But after changing disabled/1=>PL=8 at 490 i needed only 1.31nb voltage
and could run past 500+ fsb with ease. After that you can test cpu fsb and try
again for PL=7 but you will need more nb volt juice there.
has anyone tried to run the Maximus Formula with Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR1000?I must find out if it works ok before I buy.Can anyone help me?
I have 4x1GB DDR1000 of these
Just got my Maximus Formula today. Is Vdroop/undervolting still an issue with the latest BIOS (0907) and LLC enabled? Also can PCProbe be trusted for voltages as I cant find Vcore/ Vdimm read points anywhere!
I just don't know if I shoud buy this mobo or a Giga X38 DQ6.
I'm now with my friend's GA-X38-DQ6 and its stable at 475x8, but not 500Mhz FSB. Prime at 4000Mhz 445x9 for 2 hours (it's good to me). My old P5K reboots at first second of Prime95 @ 4000Mhz, but can do 475Mhz FSB stable too. I tried everything.
Another friend has one P5E3 and I can prime this Q6600 @ 510Mhz FSB...but cannot prime @ 4000Mhz for nothing in this world.
I just don't know what do to about. Someone can run your Q6600 at 475Mhz FSB stable on performance level 7? Coz' thats what I have with my friend's GA-X38-DQ6.
Someone help my brain is colapsed heheh, don't know what to choose. I just went from a DFI P35 TR2 that cannot even boot into windows @ 475Mhz FSB..and believe me, I know how to tweak that thing.
Well, sorry for the long post, but I'm really confused hehe :wth:
Rbs.
:wave:
Thanks for the good advice...Quote:

When you say performance level, you mean CPU Ratio Setting : 9 correct?
I'm a Newbie!! :)
Note: My CPU core voltage is set to 1.506v in the BIOS, but Everest is only reporting 1.49volts, so I may not be actually over-volting my CPU as much as I may think...
Keeping my new CPU voltage settings, I tried to run Prime95 using a FSB Frequency of:
428 - Result: Prime error in 4 minutes.
427 - Result: Prime error in 4 minutes.
426 - Result: Prime error in 10 minutes.
425 - Result: Prime error in 23 minutes!
424 - Result: Prime stable for 1 Glorious hour!! (Keeping 424 for now)
This makes my memory run at 848MHz, and gives me a Core speed of 3816.3MHz.
Not by much, but still enouigh to officially get me into the 3.8GHz club! :woot:
Prime doing it's thing crossing the hour mark error free. Still looking :cool: too.

you will probably will need more core volts to get stable higher. so long as your cpu is staying cool you should be fine. :up:
go for 4!
Hi im new with overclocking ( first day today :p ) so i would like to get a little help to get my system stable at 4 ghz. I have a e8400 , maximus formula and crucial ballistix 8500.

I ran it 30 min in orthos without any problems and tried 3d mark and got 14325 score, but tested cod4 later and had a bit of fps drops.
Any settings i can change to get it more stable? will try get fsb to 445 later.
It would be nice to have a number in my head that I should not cross in the BIOS settings.... :)
Anybody have a BIOS Warning voltage that using the Maximus and a Q6600 could get you into trouble fast? :shrug:
It's probably more about heat, but still some voltage 'upper limit' numbers would be nice... ;)
So far With the Maximus and my Q6600 GO:
My CPU Voltage setting of 1.46250v (BIOS), will allow error free Priming with a FSB Frequency 414 giving me 3.7GHz with my 400 NB Strap.
My CPU Voltage setting of 1.506v (BIOS), will allow error free Priming with a FSB Frequency 424 giving me 3.8GHz with my 400 NB Strap.

Going to try upping the NB voltage a tad first, and re try a FSB of 228 again to see if Prime likes it any better...
Then might live in the edge and UP the CPU voltage a tad more, and try 428 again.
Be back soon with my report. ;)
Hi, Talonman. Take a look at THIS article to see what tRD is all about.

My CPU Voltage setting of 1.506v (BIOS), will allow error free Priming with a FSB Frequency 424 giving me 3.81GHz with my 400 NB Strap.
My CPU Voltage setting of 1.51875v (BIOS), will allow error free Priming with a FSB Frequency 428 giving me 3.85GHz with my 400 NB Strap. (And still testing!)
My CPU Voltage setting of 1.51875v (BIOS) starting taking errors 4 minutes into prime with a FSB Frequency 432 giving me 3.8888GHz with my 400 NB Strap.
I took my CPU Core all the way up to 1.53125 in the BIOS, but couldn't get 433 FSB to run Prime error free. (3.897GHz)
It that point I chickened out and went back to my 3.8GHz settings listed above.
Until I get more conformation, that some of the 4.0GHz boy's are running their q6600 Cores above 1.53125v's in the BIOS, I better stop.
I don't want to fry my chip just yet! ;)
Looks like my chasing 4.0GHz, is going to still be about the Core voltage setting, and how far I am willing to bump it up... :)
To change the TRD on this board set your transaction booster to either disabled or enabled and then change the relax settings. When pushing high FSB you will want to set it to Disabled with a Relax of 0. As you go faster you may have to change Relax to 1 or 2.Quote:

I am going to see if I can get a highr FSB frequency withought upping the CPU Core voltage any.
Thanks for using the key words 'Transaction booster'!!
I can find that! ;)
Update: It worked... It worked!!
Setting the transaction booster to Disabled, and relax to 0 successfully let me Prime at a FSB Frequency of 426 for some 3.83GHz error free operation...
That is withought adding to my CPU's core voltage...
Going back for more! :)
you have PC8500 ram, why are you running it so slow?Quote:

will try your settings out now and see if it works better :)
@ grnfinger
because i have never clocked before, just started learning today :) and when i try putting ram on 1066 the computer crashes 2 min after windows has started, even when i have no overclock on..
Your signature says "Intel Q6600 g0 VID 1.2875" ?Quote:

4Ghz on 1.40000Vcore is SuperPi stable, 1.42Vcore is everything stable :) .
How much ram are you running and how many sticks?Quote:

people are saying they can reach 3.0-3.2 on stock volts but in order for me to reach 3.0 i need 1.35volts...does that sound normal?
and also, what is the vDroop mod? i couldn't find anything on that other than the picture on page 1...
My signature is outdated...Quote:
