The ram runs fine on my grouper board. I might try the new Sapphire board. I have a naked cbb1e that I want to push. I might just sell it now and wait for Conroe. Oh the official 425 bios.

My ram ran spectacularly on my Grouper, (using auto settings) the DFI ran with "optimized" settings but any kind of a overclock attempt was a no boot.Quote:

Guys
When pushing your board you may just push it a little to far, the issue then is the board does not seem to overclock nice..infact you usually end up thinking you broke it or it just went bad.....issue is cmos has been corrupted, the cmos you can not see.
The fix is to clear this cmos from DOS
with this tool, load up pure dos, then run the exe here, it clears the cmos completely and allows the board to perform as it should.
I will be adding this info to my guide on BE also, the issue seems to be the the ULI south bridge and does hold the board back if pushed hard. Also for high clcoks do NOT run raid, the best is to run an IDE drive, second best is a SATA drive but you will lose upto 10fsb if you run raid unless you are off the SI controller.
I have found a weird issue with this board and the latest beta of ati tool, i didnt try any others. No matter what, on a second run, the board will freeze, as in full hard lock, no keyboard, mouse, anything. Doesnt matter how the second run starts, if it either finds artifacts and restarts the count, or if i turn off the artifact scan and start it again, it will always freeze in the 2 minute range everytime. I blamed it on the ram, tried different ram same exact thing. I tried flashing card back to x1900xt, same thing. reinstalled the catalyst driver, same thing. tried reinstalling this version of ati tool, didnt try any others, same thing. i can run any test all day long, prime, loop 3dmark06, game, but ati tool always freezes on the second run at the same point. any ideas, as i sure ran out of them... its not too bad, but it is annoying to have to reboot the pc everytime i want to run ati tool.
I don't think it's the board...........ATItool might not be updated for the 580 chipset.Quote:

I used Tony's settings. TO make sure its not the ram, I use dividers so ram isn't an issue.
Hi all,
I have been fighting to get either my Mushkins Extreme's (UCCC) or my OCZ 4000EB's (Infineon) to get to 270mhz either 1:1 or on a divider. The Mushkins will post at 270 but there not memtest stable nor prime of course. The OCZ's will not even post at that speed at all. As a matter of fact, they won't go 1 mhz past 260mhz regardless of voltage or timings. Right now, I'm running at 289/260 (htt/ram) and I'm perfectly memtest/dual prime stable with the OCZ's. Here are my Infineon settings:

Anyone here have either UCCC or Infineon and have been able to get 270mhz stable? If so, settings please....
Can you try to change Tref to 4708 with thise settings (UCCC):fact:
Tried all of the TREF's and no go. What are you settings for the GSkills's to reach 270mhz???

I don´t know why you set 3-3-3-8, if you don´t know what you are doing, don´t do anything.

You are using the yellow dimms with the UCCC ram?!...I see a «Delay 450» in the Dimm 2/4 setting.Quote:

I can do fine with my UCCC until I try to get to 3Ghz. Has anyone had luck with UCCC and high, high overclocks? I'm at work right now, I'll post some more info later, but I've worked all the settings up and down. Has anyone had luck with the yellow slots? I'm about to resort to them.
By the way, how do you run from dos?
enabling USB mouse support causes some bugs (USB keybaord will not be able to access the bios, cannot use a USB keyboard to set up windows, and some random locks occur).
The only issues I have are related to the boot process. I can't boot from a USB stick and also the boot media from Acronis True image refuses to work.
But performance wise I have no complaints. I did have a 1700+ before this, so it wasn't that hard to please me.

I just installed my water setup and my mobo doesn't boot anymore. Error code ".8_" or ".8 " - anybody knows what this means?
Apparently none of the geniuses at DFI thought that without reference in the manual the mighty LED error codes are useless.
Are there any ideas about how to use more than 1 disk on this freaking mainboard? :P
I own 2x 36GB raptor, 2x200GB WD, 1x 160GB Maxtor and 1x 320GB Seagate is on it's way. But this mainboard is freaking me out!
The device, \Device\Scsi\m52881, did not respond within the timeout period.
Also, I cannot use the silicon image controller and the Uli controller at the same time unless I connect the drives on the Uli controller while Windows is booting from the Silicon Image controller. I tried 2 bèta biosses and the latest official.
Installing Windows on the Uli controller is like no option. Every (aprox) 5mins Windows hangs a few seconds. So with Windows installed, and plugging 2x 200GB on the Uli controller while booting I can use 4 disks, but the time-out is still there! Nothing is overclocked and all PCI cards are disconnected, IrDA is disabled and serial port is disabled.
If I connect all drives and then boot, I'll get the error message the Option rom cannot be invoke... This is freaking me out! My awesome 0610DPMW is getting lazy on this crapthing! ;)
