What cpu clocks and voltages you had for 110A ?Quote:

Eva2000 how u like the board so far? As far as disappearing Lan and Audio, don't use onboard stuff. Problems solved. Besides using onboard stuff takes up cpu cycles. With regards to bios not taking some of the changes, I had to do it twice before the bios would take my fsb changes but otherwise fine. Overclocking uguru is fine, just dont change any volts using uguru.
~3900ish running orthos and 1.69v real @ idle.Quote:

Hmmm that stock NB cooling is very interesting, it was exactly what I had in mind as an improvement to the asus crappy heatsinks.
Yeah I'd like to know from eva2000 and others how they like this board compared to the P5B-deluxe wifi, if they have tried one.
1.69v air cooled ?Quote:

1. auto shutdown and restart on any 'bios save and exits' regardless if any settings/strap/divider changes are made
2. lack of memory sub timing options
fix those 2 and the board will be up there with P5B Deluxe at least.
have you tried a fan?Quote:

on the other hand, this is just 123w compared to your 187w!
what do you mean? you like the heat pipe on the quad? or the heatsink on the nb itself?Quote:

Eva,
How's this board do with 4 sticks of 1GB ram? I am thinking about building another rig around an E6320(when they are out) and a solid 965 board. I'd like 3.5-3.6 on air. So I'll need a board that can handle 500-515FSB.
at stock cooling?Quote:

yes, stock PWM heatpipe heatsink if that's what you mean - see what i did for improved cooling though http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=3760 :DQuote:

looked at your thread on i4memory: although its hard to say if the additional tim between the pwm chips and the stock tim made a difference, i'm pretty sure the 120mm fan blowing to that area changed a lot! i'm using a 40mm fan and even this one is a big improvement!Quote:

i haven't tested anything lower yet.. i've only had the system up less than 20+ hrs total since i applied AS5 on cpu IHS - not even enough time for AS5 to fully cure yet heh
3807Mhz at 1.52-154v
Next stop 3807Mhz at 1.52-1.54v load :)

@eva2000
nice u got the board now i know that some of my questions will be answered :)
well i mostly like to know how do the clocks compare to the P5Bdlx at same load voltage, and also the temperature...asking since my cpu on my friends mobo (P5W DH) can actualy run a little higher at same voltage and bit cooler also and was it the Bad Axe that run the cpus a bit cooler than the Asus at same voltages?+
edit: I see that you got the HR-05 also......I had an idea of getting it and cutting up the base paraler to the heta pipe to make it slimer and stick it on the pwm when i get it.....basicly only leaving it a little wider than the heat pipe, can you tell me if the lenght would be alright
4 sticks seemed to work i mixed some g skills and cellshocks didnt notice a diff till my memory didnt want to go more then 3.3.3. 430 then i was like 4 Sticks duh
never got to install HR-05 so not sure... i wouldn't risk shorting the pwm and surrounding components.. just be careful if you hack up a heatsink.Quote:

because i'm cooling my nb with water i had to remove the whole heatpipe assembly. after a few minutes of hesitation i just cut it apart and istalled the pwm heatsink alone together with a fan. running it without the fan, temps reached 100c within minutes. the small 40mm fan is able to keep temps below 70c when the cpu draws a current of 83a! if the 40mm fan is able to reduce temps by 30c under that conditions, what do you think would a 120mm fan do? look at eva's figures ...

you are right, i thought the same way! but as experience showed it is simply not necessary. a fan blowing at the stock pwm heatsink will work perfect!Quote:

for all people that have 2 x 1gb ddr2 cellshock pc 8000 4-4-4-12 on abit quad gt.... can post your ram setting that used in bios? cas etc??
i'm having a lot of problems with 4\5.. and i can't pass 540 mhz 4-4-4-12....
umm thats the max on the mobo m8 sry but you have hit the wall =/ very sad but true maybe a new bios will fix it but 540 is most likely your max mine was like 56x =/
do you mean that there is a wall around 540 mhz-550 mhz at the moment for the max mem frequency?Quote:
