hey guys, i need a reference guide for the setup of this board with my e8600,
i was running 4.5ghz 24/7 with 500fsb on a p5k-e.
i really need someone's settings at 4.5ghz with a e8600 as a guide for me.
was at 4.5ghz earlier with 450fsb no problems but my old ide h'd bit the dust and im not sure if it was due to anything i did.
now i cant o.c. any as it refuses to boot.
cheers in advance.
Gordy!
This is my template for 4302 MHz stable. 4.5 shouldn't take much tweaking form there. There are a couple of guys running 4500+ hopefully they can provide their settings too. You can just disconnect your HDD and boot into bios, set things up, and run the bootable memtest CD to see if it would be stable enough to boot into windows. When you say your HDD bit the dust do you mean mechanically or you corrupted windows?
EDIT - you run 2 x 2GB sticks so you'll have to back the timings off a little. May I suggest 5-5-5-15-5-60-8-5 / 8-3-5-4-6-4-7 / 16-6-1-6-6 (top to bottom) to begin with.

Yeah, the quad will help tremendously in '06. Not so much in most games.Quote:

You can get a quad stable at or near 4.3GHz on air, though. My E0 Q9550 was super cool under my TRUE at 3.9GHz. I'm still testing my new limits on this board, but it looks like I'll end up in the 4.12-4.25GHz range. Not sure on actual temps yet b/c I'm still testing for max FSB w/ 6x multi. I'll let you know how it turns out, but I don't think temps will be an issue. On a Q9650 4.2-4.4GHz is doable on air.
Well that makes me feel better mine runs 45c at 60% fan speed but hit 85c when I game, its the damn noise thats getting to me.Quote:

At idle mine sits on ~45 - 47*C @ 40% fan. In 3D01 from memory it sits pegged out on 999 for the whole of dragon low and most of lobby low and half of nature. I'd have to re-run and check the individual game tests FPS to give you a definitive answer though. Here's an 01 run at the same settings as the 03 & 06 runs I posted before:

why don't you run 500FSB 1200mhz ram John and start to bench that CPU at 4.5 and higher !
Never benched it but this what I could do on X38Quote:

Nice work there. Somehow I can manage the same stability test stability, just 3D apps, esp Crysis, crash out. I had to reduce NB GTL Ref to -70mv to get stability at 4.23GHz in 3D apps, but over that seems almost impossible. At 4.3 sometimes it plays for a couple of hours without issue, other times it doesnt last 5 mins.
Im considering a DFI-T2RSB Plus, or maybe even a RF. Then I think perhaps I should give up benching, deal with it at 4.23GHz, and just put that cash I would have spent on an X48 towards an i7 rig in 6 -12 months.
hey dude...thanks for the help.... ill try a bit later...seems the hd bit the dust mechanicaly as my sata's are a.ok
ill keep you informed...ferkin lost 140gb of hd tv etc
4.2GHz is a nice clock, I ran mine on the X38 4.3GHz 24/7 for months and it was solid the entire time....I'm on the fence with i7 myself , I have a i920 and a sweet tri channel kit of Dominators, just need the $$$ for a board, PSU and water gear....and a case of course, or I could sell the i920 and ram then have lots of play money. I'd really like to take a Q9650 for a test run....Quote:

I Never Can OC On My M2F In High FSB :(
Can I Go For Change Board To DFI P45 For Best OC??? DFI Is The Better Than M2F For Get High FSB Over 500.....?
Is That Think Better Or Stay With M2F Then In Future Go For Corei7 Or Phenom 2
Tanx For Sugestion
Sorry For My Bad English:D
well i fired up the new max today,and gave it one quick OC and i got to say that im impressed.this e8400 on the previous two boards needed at least 1.36-1.39 to be able to do this sort of clocks.thanks to cryptik ,grnfinger,simps and altny for posting thier settings so i could quickly canibalize each of them and put this together.i quit orthos cause stock cpu cooler wasnt quite cutting it,by the way i am still selling this board plus the e8400.board and cpu together will be 290$.http://i39.tinypic.com/2igja0l.jpghttp://i41.tinypic.com/n21f6q.jpghttp://i41.tinypic.com/mab5hz.jpghttp://i43.tinypic.com/23pum0.jpg
Congrats on teh decent board ...finally:) Glad you atleast put power to itQuote:

I might have a buyer for your MIIF, I'll pm the info later tonight when I talk to him.
grnfinger thanks
I'm at a loss to explain it. It's rock stable in everything, but crashes out of 3D apps at 4.3GHz+. I have tried 2 different video cards and its the same. The cards are fine they work perfectly at lower cpu clocks.Quote:

Dropping to 1:1 ram at a little over 900MHz does nothing, changing NB GTL Ref just makes it worse, changing vNB makes no difference, changing PCI-E freq does nothing, changing clock skews/ram skews seems to help a little but only delays the inevitable. I even changed PSU, and flashed to the latest BIOS, but the same thing happens. I know this board well and I cannot 'adjust out' this issue.
To get over 500FSB on a 9550 you will need to give it a lot of vcore. Depends on the stepping, if its an E0 it will do it more easily but regardless its not going to do it at a 'normal' vcore, and it's almost certain it will not be anywhere near stable. DFI P45's are not very good overclocking quads from what I've read but give one a go if you think its your board.Quote:

Well, need some advise.
The price of the ASUS Rampage Extreme has really dropped here and it was the board I wanted to get but because of the price before, it put me off.
But now, I can get it for around $280 US.
Would it be worth it? Any speed increase for gaming? Or go over to the Core i7?
guys....this is a ferkin nightmare board for me....
im struggling with the settings on the board...did the gtl ref calc which im not sure about and got -40mv ( 1.4vc , 1.25 vtt )
i cant get it anywhere near stable at 4.5ghz and its closer at 4.4 but still no cigar... also...if i re-boot the board after running it at these speeds it refuses to post and i have to do a full bios reset...is this normal??
its driving me nuts now as my p5k-e was a no frills board and it was a damn site easier to get stable at these speeds.
if anyone can help let me know or if you want anymore info i can post it here.
running the rig in my sig.
cpu was 100% stable at 1.4vcore (cpu-z) at 4.5ghz with 9x500 on p5k-e with gtl set to 0.61 and 0.61. (1.1vtt)
i dont understand the equation but im sure someone can help. i also dont understand what to do with the xl calculator spread sheet.
gong nuts... i know once this boards set up right its gonna be ace but its a killer trying to get there...for now back to stock speeds....
cheers again
Gordy!:confused:

Hye guys,
I gat a bad new Cryptik : following the majority, i'm thinking about sell it , cus' an EP45T UD3P is commin' to my lab
May be I'll never see the real potential of my Crucials (D9gmh DL) and the others ...I think I've wasted to much time for now :D
You were both (Crytik & Grnfinger) very pleasant to read...see you next & congrates m8tes ;)
What bios are you on? Asus has releases some major crapola, I would recommend 1307, 1802 or 1901 there all very decent biosQuote:

I hope you come back and share your results, I too regret this board sometimes. I keep waiting for teh bios that will unleash this boards true potential.
hey dudes, max stable o.c has not been achieved yet...im on bios 1901
max stable on the p5k-e was 4.5ghz
Good work thats a nice clock.Quote:
