It's not a bad forum though.....
I had a temp AL8 after selling my AMD rig when waiting for conroe....I used uguru and its not bad, its good for OC, changing voltages, fan speeds etc, never had it freeze the system and stuff like that when making big jumps.....its just that I wouldn't like to use it as monitoring app....its a little to bulky to run all the time, slowly responces, and most importantly no loging option at all, i love mbm and its loging although i know uguru will never be supported in it and thats why im asking if systool or speedfan work at least on the QuadQuote:

with cell shocks i can do someweres close to 4.3.3.4 545 ish thats on 4:5 but it is not likely to work @ anything over that any timeing its a =/ deal Abit come back and make good bios plzx :)
does the 4\5 works with quad and your cellshock?Quote:

Yeah abit forums being down is a PITA, wasted 3 hours on Wednesday trying to boot or install windows thinking the IDE controller was to blame. Had a USB keyboard installed with BIOS support turned on...
Bit of a daft question but what exactly is the CPU VTT? I've had some issues with my max FSB, 525 POSTs but is unstable and the story is the same all the way down to 420 ish @1.5v on the MCH (v bump makes little or no diff). Just pushed the VTT from 1.2 to 1.3V and the FSB is sitting at 450 stable (so far).
I'm guessing the c2d is the limiting factor, VTT supplies part of the chip? Either way, nice boost from it :-) I'll see where i can get to once i get some new waterblock bits, i've hit a thermal barrier at 3.4 Gig. Stock cooling and 70degrees under load FTW :-|
yes with cell shocks 4/5 dose work up to the max it can take
CPU VTT is similar to VFSB on asus boards... same thing, 1.4v seems to be a sweet spot for most cpu's, but some like it more then others. :)Quote:

me so very confused :)
other than that, i can't seem to boot of a usb-device to flash the bios (doesn't fit on a system floppy with a 1 mb bios ...)

With CPU-Z open load up the cpu, you will see your multi change.
Thats a feature not a bug.
you're right, although i did disable all that in bios ... will recheck; cpu-z now gives 3400 correctly under load but other apps (like orthos, 3Dmark, ...) still give 3825...
i'll be back, thanks for the quick reply !
can someone also share their voltage settings for a moderate overclock like 3600 on a E6600 ? Thanks a lot !
ok, had to disable something called C1E ( ? ) and know all is well in all applications ...
strange thing: i can run a super-pi 32m but orthos quits after 2 seconds @ 9*400 ???
current volt-settings : vcore 1,4750 ; ddr2 2.1, mch 1.5, ichio 1.7, cpuvtt 1.4, ich 1.15
any one know what could cause this ? i admit i'm not really being carefull with voltages since i'm only testing for small periods
eeek! man down! Think i've killed the board, though i've no idea how. I've steered well clear of any major V bumps but between reboots i've lost the onboard gigabit LAN port. After a reinstall of windows to check it hadn't been corrupted it appears the audio hardware is dead too. arse
anyone else seen something like this? I've cleared the CMOS but i'm still hopeful it might be some config thing i've missed. Sounding like RMA time though :-(
EDIT: Nevermind, couple minutes of power off with the plug out and the network came back. Off for 10 minutes and the audio device got recognised again
oh, I had the same thing this morning, had been memtesting without problems all night but this morning when rebooting a couple of times, I never got my network ... Hope a powerdown will be my solution as well :-)
orthos still craps out immediatly even though memtest and super-pi work flawlessly :(

was gonna try that tonight, did some quick tests after the first install (bit greedy :p) ; do you mean raise all voltages ? to where ? one below the maximum value ? have some pretty good airflow so heat shouldn't be a big problem ... ; but 8x400 runs orthos without problems and 9x400 won't so i'm guessing it's more related to the other voltages as well
no i ment lower them all to lowest, find out what voltage your mobo/ram needs to run a certain fsb and then play with the cpu. this is if you mean to run it like that 24/7 .... 400mhz isnt that much for a good 965 mobo, my P5Bdlx runs is at lowest voltage mch 1.25 or whatever it is......but ya if u can run 8x400 and not 9x400 then just raise your vcore
Each time i reboot after memtest (dos version), the network and firewire controller are gone. You can not see them in the irq list just after the POST.
Just turn off psu and turn it back on and they are back.
Strange behaviour...
ok, it's not just me then :-)
thanks for additional exp milyions, i'll take some more time tonight to figure things out ... (@ work now ...)
one thing though: i want to upgrade my bios from an usb-stick but I can't set it as a boot-device in bios (i could on my A8N sli-deluxe); it just doesn't appear in the list of (first) boot device ... (there is usb-cd rom, usb fdd, ... but they don't work) ; is this a known issue or am I missing something ? Strangely, it somethings doesn't recognise my usb-keyboard either (regardless of the bios - os setting for usb in the bios)
Anyone tried Command Rate 1T ? Does it work with 2x1024 Cellshock or not?
At 667 it will work, 800 is still flaky with any memory.Quote:
