got the board to day and what do i find out that i can max use multie 12 with my QX6700 , any one knows a bios that gives me a higher max multie ?
plz i need it fast
greetz and thanks blind

Ambient room temp is 20-25... i will RMA the board, i dont know what else to do... i cant even do 90% orthos 5 mins without going to 65+
Yep. That's way too high for those surroundings. Your net exchange with your room temp is 44C at idle and it should be only about half that or less. Yikes. Of course in winter you wouldn't need a space heater. :>)
This attached chart (also from the Intel site) shows the power ratings that go with the expected temps. It is apparent that with lower demands at idle speed that the processor also should be reflecting a lower operating temp. So, even though the cpu may warrant a 61.4C thermal rating, that rating seems to be under full power, not idle. I am tending to side with Angelica that the board should be RMA'd.
Misspelled your name Angelico. Sorry about that.

Well then I need to RMA my board also. I use SpeedStep and my CPU Idles at x6 2.16 MHz. My CPU temp reports 55 Degrees at that speed. My system is very stable and runs 24/7. My reliability monitor is indexed at 9.47. I had a power failure that took it down from a index of 10. I need a new UPS.
.
2.16mhz?
" Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can result in decreased average power consumption and decreased average heat production. "

lol off by 1000 places
Well i am currently waiting for net to run out then I send board, cause its starting to get real hot here in Serbia, so no on idle i have 59-60+.
Anyway I need your opinion on something; I finally found 2 memory modules :
1. OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 / 1066 MHz / Reaper HPC Edition / Dual Channel
- 1066MHz DDR2
EPP 5-5-5-15 (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)
2 GB(2x1024MB) Dual Channel Kit
Unbuffered
OCZ Lifetime Warranty
2.3 Volts
240 Pin DIMM
Reaper HPC Heatsink*
EPP-Ready
2.35V EVP**
and
2. OCZ EL DDR2 PC2-8000 / 1000MHz / Gold Gamer eXtreme / XTC Edition / Dual Channel
- 1000MHz DDR2
CL 5-6-6-15
(CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)
2 GB(2x1024MB) Dual Channel Kit
Unbuffered
Gold Layered XTC Heatspreader*
Lifetime Warranty
2.1 Volts
240 Pin DIMM
EVP**
Which one is better, esspecialy i would like somones opinion who has OCZ. price difference between these 2 is 42euros.
mem #1 is a bit faster and hotter . it looks like a newer version of #2 .
with no direct experience , I'd say #2 would OC to #1 level easily
Hotter as in better or as in producing more heat?
Somebody can tell me what would be the overclocking penalty, if any, when we have four banks of memory installed on this mobo?
Currently I have 2x1gb sticks of OCZ-1000 at 1000mhz with an E6300 overclocked to 3.5ghz
The p965 are already 2T I dont think there will be any loss...Quote:

Out of the p965's, only the abit quadgt, but I might be mistaken, so you should look into it more. If you're looking for 1t, you should probably look at the nvidia chipsets
1. Windows XP can't use 4GBQuote:

3. I assume you are talking about the same reasoning for getting Dual Channel kit vs seperate sticks : it will be the same situation i.e you have 1 bios with 2 (perhaps) different pairs ( DDR2-800 &DDR2-1000 for example). so the penalty in running the 2*(2*1GB) ram at the slowest common denominator is hard to predict.
4. BUT the PC performance vs RAM performance are 2 different things, and as #2 indicated , even a bit slower ram can be beneficial overall .
5. By itself , ram speed contributes not more than 1 digit percents to PC performance .
hmm, found this thread too. i dont want to repeat the post so go here to read it: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=701
also chuckbam. i seem to have the same mobo/ram/cpu as you. id love to get your exact bios settings if you could message that to me. ram timings etc, etc.
thanks a bunch.

For some reason, default or looser memory timings result in a overclock.
failure. I was running 4-4-4-12 when I had 2GB RAM. But when I went up to 4GB, I had to change it to 4-5-5-12. I tried about every RAM timing possible on this board.
Most everything else is at default.
I had greater overclocks but I settled on this for stability and 24/7 operation.
1. I'm using vista 64bitsQuote:

DDR2 Memory is about 1/2 than what I paid 4 months ago. Good time to buyQuote:
