cpu need more voltage to run small fft which stress cpu the mostQuote:

One more thing from what i have read the best OCing bios is 2333....
this may seem really noobish..but how do you wire the switch to make this mod work?Quote:

Orthos small is pretty temperature dependant also - if you can bring the temps down a touch you might not to need any more voltage, that's how I fixed mine. At some point you'll have to decide how stable you need it to be - if it runs orthos blend okay, and occt, and it doesn't crash in windows or games or whatnot, then maybe you just call it stable and live with it, even if it does fail orthos small.Quote:

clean both the heatsink and the CPU of the old paste. then apply a new layerQuote:

3 pins on the MB header wire directly to the 3 pins on the switch.Quote:

interesting ..thanks...bare wires..well that will likely mean I will kill the board or myself(my wife will be hoping for the later...life insurance)Quote:

or buy one from this guy
thanks see how dangerous I am:nono:Quote:

This is not for the 975 on the BadAxe2?
I installed this one. Then I went down the page a little and found this one.

This one is older but is for the 975? Not sure what this all means
What is key towards increasing the multiplier? I'm running now at 310*11, and increasing my multi to 12 makes me unable to boot into windows. Just hangs at the loading bar until I'm greeted with a BSOD. Increasing voltages makes me see the loading bar a wee bit longer.
My temps are fine (around 40C, under 70C @ load) and can't quite fanthom what's holding me down. Memory and such shouldn't be affected by increasing the multi right?
Also, not being able to get over 330FSB is annoying, but my memory can't take that at 4-4-4-12 anyways.
i have this set at default... however, i get a tad bit of studder/flicker when panning around during games.. not sure if its the new nvidia drivers or my low refresh rates or what...
but someone had told me that he had the same issues with the same card, and when he up'd his PCI to 105 the problem went away.
reading some stuff earlier in this thread sounds like i can increase a little.. but 105 sounds too much.
can someone explain what the PCI burn option does? im scared to move it. what is acceptable range?
additionally, i have my 8800 oc'd a bit. will this make a differance?
thanks!

OK finally stable at this
vcore = 1.3875
vfsb = 1.300
vmch/vich = 1.550
FSB = 345X9 @ 3105
Idle temp = 42-45C
Load Orthos = 55-60C
Orthos stable = 8hrs blend ok/9hrs small fft ok, SuperPi = ok, OCCT = 30mins blend ok, XP = stable, memtest86+ = 3hrs ok
1. Are my temps ok ? Used to be lower but it rose by 3-5C after i changed the position of my HSF. Need to in order to install my Thermalright HR-05 nb cooler
2. Given my temp and the rate i'm going, would it be advisable to increase vcore to say 1.5 to reach my goal of 3.6Ghz?
Many thks in advance
I have exactly the same setup as you, same voltages, same fsb.Quote:

i cant tell if you if its "too high" but given your voltage, it seems high.
i tune my fans pretty low that's y. i think my hsf needs readjustment
It's another badly named BIOS feature. Basically, it's overclock for the pci express bus. You can't do any permanent harm so tweak it and see what happens.Quote:

so as I understand it ..I will need to boot with jumpers in maintenance mode...turn off EIST/C1E and watchdog depending on board revision(ie bios)
I have cd to load up bios 2333 as this seems to be the best OCing bios(sans stupid HDD led issue..never plug this in anymore)
is it worth swapping the NB cooler?
This thread is terrific alot of very helpful people....I just hope I can get e6600@ 3500(9x390) and 490 on my ram(like my first RD600)
My crucial 10th anniv ran very nicely on the first one at 5-6-5-5-2t at 2.2v....
I think those temps are fine.
