I swapped to other BIOS chip using BIOS 1901 and 1:2 divider is working now. I took the cpuz SS then tried to run everest and it crashed unfortunately.
678 MHz CL5 @ 2.45v

Stop teasing us with ya mad rams ! but really Everest shows awesome bandwith etc but this is hardly reflected in eg Superpi32... I take everest with a BIG grain of salt !
Hehe sorry about that!
Yes Everest is just synthetic, it's nice for a quick demo but I also prefer something real like 32M to show performance. In my experience the M2F just can't pass SPI32M over 534 FSB / 640 MHz PL8. I have a feeling the MCH is at it's limit around there.
I'm fighting the P45 UD3P at the moment mate, stuck there at 570FSB Hyperpi 32Mb stable, 575 always gives me one error after each pass, tried zillions of combinations (volts, GTL's, PL's, timings,... ), other rams etc... think it's the limit of my board's chipset... it has to end somewhere lol
Yeah its tricky sometimes to make it pass, I assume that's on 1:1? I can get 550 FSB 1:1 PL 10 to pass but over that it falls part rapidly, same on my P5Q-Deluxe. Skews really helped me with stability, delay 150ps on each channel was the optimal setting at 534 - 542 FSB & 640 - 651 MHz ram with PL 8.
Ok, so Quad cores and the MIIF board don't mix. What CPU are you using to achieve these high FSB's??? 8600??? I figure if I'm going to keep this board I might as well, get a CPU that I can have fun with. 480fsb with a quad is nice but 600+++ would be like heaven!
Simonix is usiing an 8600 see his valid link: Here
Can't you just lower the PL on MIIF directly? I would assume that having the options separate would be more advantageous.Quote:

The MIIF does fine w/ quads, and for 24/7 you aren't going to get much higher clocks from a dual than a quad (4.2-4.4GHz vs 4.0-4.2GHz). So, ~200Mhz higher w/ the duals, but half the cores.Quote:

The E8400 has a 9x multi, and if you can get 600FSB then that puts you at 5.4GHz. You're well into extreme cooling at that speed, and the extra multi wouldn't be any good for anything else.
The main thing you want to do if you're shopping for a good dual to play w/ is to try and get a really good batch from somebody. A used chip that is a proven good OCer, or perhaps go to a store that lets you sift through the boxes to find a good batch. It doesn't matter if it's an E0 E8400, E8500, or E8600 as long as you get a really good batch.
The board is under a EK Supreme, 320, 355, 1/2id... will water be enough for 5.4Ghz 24/7 stable?Quote:

But then you can't run anything but a 1:1 divider, and have to settle for a looser PL.Quote:

Gotcha. Makes a lot more sense now.Quote:

Didn't need pull-ins to do it, but the 90nm chipset boards definitely had an advantage w/ bandwidth.
guys i need to change dissipation system on my M2F..ni got really nice results but NB temp are too high..i could even go on in OC if i reduce my temps..
what aftermarket cooler could i use for SB and NB ?
noctua NC U6 fit into NB without hurts ram slots ? no problem for Sb i think, even blue ice cooler is sufficient for SB.
i have even seen extreme sprit 2 by thermaltake that is smaller but i don't know if it's able to dissipate well.. i want to replace all pipes on my board ..i'm 55 °C on NB in idle :down:
Exteme spirit works well and is a cost effective soloution alittle noisey tho if you dont run it on a fan controller.Quote:

Cannot comment on the noctua, but I do recall someone posting that it works but not sure if it was this board or not..
So, I've been running stability tests on my MIIF, Q9650, & DDR2 1000 - I was having trouble completing SuperPI and HyperPI but it was stable for 12hrs blend on Prime95 @ 480fsb ... I thought it was ok. I recently tried IBT & it failed. I reset my bios and all settings go default and it still fails IBT I am currently running HCI memtest to recheck ram. I was running 1.43v on the core to run the 480fsb (8.5multi) - could the CPU be failing or the mobo?Quote:

8700 is due out soon I think..Quote:

I have a 8400 on my second MIIF and its a dog compared to the 4.2GHz Q9650.
480fsb is very doable on this board, It took me 20 mins maybe to dial in my 4.2GHz settings, all my chips will do 500FSB on this board.
I would recheck your settings
This is my 4200MHz setup

That all seems to be working except for my memory sub timings are on auto and I have to use PL 10 with the DDR2 1000 I am running 1:1 btw
I am testing currently using Prime95 blend, then I'm going to test with IBT - I've never seen what you have for results with your IBT screenie, what did you do? btw, my system will not pass the "max stress" test under IBT
EDIT: ah poop, failed both Prime blend & OCCT - upping vcore to 1.38 vtt to 1.37
Eh, the E8600 will not be the highest clocking Wolfdale ever binned? :eek:Quote:

Is that a joke ? So take a look at this mates :D

This page is mine :rofl:
thank you for reply, i probably go for extreme spitir so it's compatible without mods..i think oi can set 60% of speed from bios if it will be noisy, it's active dissipation so it's sufficent :) i'll post the mod as soon as i do :) the shop near home sells extreme spirit so it's easyer than ever :DQuote:

select no to "turn on error dection" and you will get the same outputQuote:
