No i meant drop the multi down to 56 or 55x and boost the blck. You haven't even used the 58x yet. i have seen 5.8ghz on this board, but with lower multi. The board wont allow blck to be raised more than 99.8 at 58x??
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1653519
I think its a freq. wall @ 5.8Ghz for this cpu. Any combo of multies and bclk as long as not 5.8G is fineQuote:

Do many of you use 8 gig kits , what are the thoughts on 2x2Gig over 2x4Gig for overclocking the cpu that is ?
Probly...But I replaced rams and now run ok and no more bios corruptionQuote:

Are we eventually going to see 2400 for memory selection in an upcoming bios?
Yea that code either needs more IMC or vcore voltage. Corrupting BIOS has a lot to do with a lot of settings, its not just one problem. LOL i like your avatar AndyrQuote:

thats interesting to know nub i've tried all the bioses and settled on f6x as it uses the least vcore for same overclock for me of all the bioses, anybody on the f7h, any opinions
I will try f6x again, I only used it for a couple hours.
I picked up a Gigabyte GTX470 Soc. It clocks better than the EVGA 470sc but in sli they run like chit. I can score higher with my gtx460's. :shrug:
the card in first slot is probably throttling or overheating i have the same cards setup :(
the cooler is not great for tight space SLI imo
Where you get BIOS F8h?:confused:Quote:

The Soc 470 has topped out at around 870mhz core so far in 06 with stock bios, and 1000 on the memory hasnt shown any artifacts, a much better card :up:.
Looks like evga isnt binning the gpu's, the default vgpu on the SC is 1.1v I believe, and the giga Soc is .975vgpu.
Ill try it with a higher oc on the cpu tonight.
sorry staz i must learn to read f7h it should have been :up:Quote:

Thanks guys!
Bad thing is some of the scores I submitted were run on f7e, now I gotta go back and retry a couple cards. My cf HD5870 scores were on f7e, hope they will go up.
Nice scores real 7 :up:
I noticed using the onboard power button to power down the pc when it freezes up due to overclocking seems to stop the boot loops. If I try higher multi than the cpu will allow, and get the 4E code, if I hold the power button to turn the pc off it doesnt go back to 4E code when you power back on. It goes to ccode 75 and allows you back into the bios. Something about hitting reset causes the long loops.
Yeah I've noticed that pressing RESET sometimes causes a double post, and often causes a failed overclock message. That never happens with using the power off button, unless CPU PLL override, is enabled, in which case, it can be a crapshoot whether it happens or not (it usually doesn't happen, though).Quote:

I don't even use the reset button anymore for now.
Put the 5870's back in and retrying some 3d with F8X bios.

Last couple of tests, this time on vista.
are you sure that keyboard doesnt wake it man i just tried UD3R i have handy here and it wakes with a keyboard, i didnt have to adjust any bios optionsQuote:

Tried the 470's in sli again, they dont seem to scale as well as I hoped.
Loaded up Sp1 yesterday with f8x . . so far rock stable at LL1 1.416 vcore load and 1.452 idle @ 4.8 ran 9 hours prime v265 . . . tonight will start raising core and lowering timings more , since looks like my imc on my chip hates anything over 1600mhz
Prime Stable :D

ANY KEY option is there and works, but it is hidden and I have to make it selectable in every new bios release with hex editor.
BTW I use PS/2 keyboard. Less problems in bios/dos/etc. USB device (keyboard/mouse) wake up is a windows feature, no need for bios settings.
grats Tony :up: im passing linx with swap file enabled wich gives 20700+ problem size at 1,47 bios and had to notch vdimm 1,68 to 2133 7-10-7-27 1T /trfc 74 / IO = 2Quote:

Hi,
Just trying to get my SB setup sorted. Managed to navigate thru the "bios image not recognised" problems with @bios then got win7 (64) installed and have played around with 5GHz settings. I'm getting closer to testing my setup but I cannot get ET6 to run in my Win7 64bit. Tried various ET6 setups and enabled OS changes in bios but the prog just starts and then nothing. Is it simply because I'm using a 64 bit OS?
F8x bios installed and everything else basic. No apps installed
Please help as it's driving me nuts. Must have missed sumpfink!!
Sorry if this has been before but I did do a thread search and google search.
Thanks Sergio nice pass at linx . . you at a high bandwith with tight timings heavy cpu and ram load like prime are sure to find a hole especially with SP1Quote:

better he tolerates or i put it in orbit lolQuote:

It just my 2 cents:D
im on water single loop apogee XT + black ice xtreme rad + sanyo denki fans + D5 EK TOP rev2 + masterk 1/2" ;) IDLES on 30C as im using CE states after finding stabilityQuote:

crazy reboot loop with no reason until I hv to unplug PSU will stop the problem. It's happen randomly
I can'r guess what cause of these. Anyone have a suggestion?
BTW: I use F6a beta BIOS to unlock CPU PLL overvolt.
The easiest way is to flash the backup BIOS to match the main BIOS by pressing alt-f12 quickly at POST, before you get the disk drives screen ...
yes i found the issue in my board the UD7, on the timmings part search for IO latency its on AUTO put 2 instead so when you reboot your PC will not boot loop just sometimes wich is a known issue when you lett it of for a time and then turn on will loop 2 times but will load your settings perfect :up:Quote:

I run my 5Ghz OC 24/7 at 1.38v LLC 2. Been folding at full load all day since I got it and no degradation.
newhit - ET6 works fine for me with W7 x64, never had an issue. It didnt work in XP at first but that was only because I didnt have that intel engine management thing installed. You running it as administrator?
nice Eldonko i will try LLC2 as LLC1 has a HUGHE dropQuote:

at certain times llc2 could be welcomed cuase of the deep droop this board does . . at 4.8 im at 1.460 bios 1.452 idle 1.418 load lol crazy . But to stay withing 1.500 envelope at higher clock like 5.0 i got hit llc2 so it does opposite with idle voltage and load . . starts low and hit load a bit higher , can it do damage yes , remember if you set in bios 1.45 , on load youll hit 1.52 . . . RED ZONE for none benchersQuote:

eldonko you have like the perfect chip lol.
i realized that i passed all those linx 25 loops in vain...prime bsod at 35mins so crap i need to bump vcore to 1,428 load 1,46 idle passed 3hours so far at vtt 1.05 mem 1600 C7 now vtt 1.12 for 2133 C7 tight passing 1hour+ so far
LLC2 one has to be careful but dynamic vid is dangerous i tested and by mistake put like 2v so i wont be using it but i will give a try on LLC2
well here it goes same i passed linx 25 2,5+ hours prime stopped cauz im tooooo anxious lol before my tweaks it wouldnt pass 25 mins now its fiiine
LLC1 btw will try LLC2 later

Nice job.
What other tweaks did you do to make it pass?
definite props if your holding prime with such a high bandwidth and tight timings :up: , thought your imc wouldn't hold that type of loadQuote:

other tip i got is to use system agent on 0,975 that helps ram stable but i just used it on auto
the vcore combo + vtt was the key
thanks for asking :up:
cheers !

thanks T ! i was frustrated on this so i took my time all day to search for it, thanks a bunch for your help on your tests thats made me realize that for sandyb prime is the key linx means notha as i showed beforeQuote:
