Light will relax them a tad allowing for improved overclocking.

Not sure what Gigabyte calls it or if they have it as an option in the bios.

Interesting! thanks alot Grnfinger

I run 470 x 9 PL8 moderate 24/7 and it takes ~1.34vNB for total stability - HCI memtest really loads up the NB and at 1.30 - 1.32v I get errors before 1000% coverage.

Oh Yeah..:p:

More Vnb means More VTT..(>1.20)..

@!#$!@#$!@# ASUS.

To everybody with watercooled MIIF.

Can you please post some pictures of your system? I need info, how do you connect CPU block with NBMax block. How long is the tubing, what is the bending radius and etc.

Thanks in advance !!

I dont use the NBMax I use the MCW30 but the concept is the same.

Use the farthest away bards. If your tubing still kinks (which i highly doubt), use smartcoils...

Anyone know what advancing the clock skew on the DRAM does? Does increase performance?

I"ve advanced mine to 350ps and am testing Large FFT's on prime with 480fsb & 8.5multi..

why won't this board do over 500fsb :shakes:

It helps in stability, it will do nothing for performance increase.

Grnfinger, what brand tubing is that? i can't get the tubes to not kink when connecting the CPU to the NB block.

Mine are Tygon tubing 1/2" ID, and believe me, they don't kink :)

Congrats Simone, nice work. What vNB did you use?

Yes but with multiplier 6 , why don't you try 8x585 i want to see 20 loops IBT I just can't do it.

try that with a quad then i'd be impressed

I've tried doing 4.4.4.12 @ 450fsb with my DDR2 1000 and it will not run stable. All I got is 480 with 5.5.5.15, CPL 10 and Ai Clock Twister on Stronger. Are there any other memory performance increases I can do? I won't post at 450 & PL 8 even with 5.5.5.15...

MIIF can rock quads as good as duals.

Have you tried that? This machine I am typing on is a Asus P5Q Premium with my 8400 C0 doing 500x8. I currently can't get my Q9650 above 480 on my MIIF. My cpu will do 4Ghz but will not do 8x500 stable & I am not seeing people rock 500fsb with a quad & MIIF

I use Primoflex and the stuff Swiftech sells, I do believe that photo is of the 7/16th Swiftech tubing.

Tygon will not kink nor will the chepo stuff from home depot, my only gripe with home depot tubing is that it gets cloudy after a while, no problems if you use dyes but if your running clear water than its not so nice.

450FSB on the 333 strap should post with ram set to 1081MHz.
See if you can post with that setup, if so I have a few memory tweaks to get you some decent bandwidth,

VERY VERY NCE!!! :up:
I'm beginning to think that the board runs very well when cold

Was that with 4.4.4.12 or 5.5.5.15?

nm, it's having a hard time at 5.5.5 ... i'm going to see if i can get it stable, but in the meantime, what are your recommendations?
