Thx for your quick reply!
Yeah...maybe i need that cable! But why this is happening if in my friends PC with the same mobo, PSU, internal sata HDD's, same sata DVDRW, case, WC system, i don't have this problem?!?! And in other motherboards like DFI P35, eVGA 680i on this same case with same hardware don't have this issues? :shrug:
Anyway...thx! Maybe i'll try the new eVGA 780i SLI motherboard!
no clue, Have your tried an email to Western Digital?
someone besides you must have had this issue b4.
You might also check back in a bit when others have checkd the thread, my external drive requires separate AC power, a bit of a pain sometimes but its never let me down
Already done that, and a search on google too!Quote:

hmmm, looking at the first post again it seems that there haven't been any 4.0 clocks. hell, i don't even see my 3.9 in there lol. is there anybody out there with a stable 4.0?!?!?!
I have been working on 4.0Quote:

I'm not pumping anything beyond 1.575 to my cpu and I'm not very comfy with 1.575 to begin with.
I might shop around for a Yorkfield or a quad with lower vid
hows this???Quote:

I can't believe how easy this board has been on me... took me less than a day to find these settings. I think its time to start working on 4.1 now :D
Nice sonofander, I am also priming now 400x9 @ 1.272 running now already a few hours small ffts, its a L737B.
What bios u are using, do u mind sharing your setting by putting in a template?
I'm on bios 907. out the blox, flashed right up, so I've never used any other bios. This one seems pretty good to me :DQuote:

mc2K: Did any of my settings help you out that I PMed you:confused:
you want me to fill out a form??? lol I'm way too lazy for that! how about some pictures:

did you try to use less NB Vcore? just wondering....
I'm not working on lowering anything just yet... After my 6 hour prime run, I bumped my FSB up to 450 and am now priming away at 4.05 at the same settings. I'm gonna push to 4.1 and get stable there before I start lowering voltages. 6 more ticks on my FSB to go... 4.1 here I come!Quote:

Priming now almost 4 hours small ffts @ 1.272 400x9
WOW! damn nice cpu you have there. I would call that stable for sure @ the 4 hour mark.Quote:

just for the hell of it, I too just tried 445fsb X 9 for 4.05GHz. After saving and existing the BIOS, the PC posted and the POST screen said, Unreconizable CPU, update your biOS for increased performance WTF:shrug: No matter what Vcore I set for CPU/NB/SB/etc... I kept getting the same message. WEIRD? I'm back to my 100% stable Low voltage OC of 425x9 for 3.83GHz. Im using bios 903, has anyone ever seen this issue before?
lol!!!Quote:

So, newls1, any advice on my voltages? you had asked about my NBv. Is it too high?
hmz seems odd m8, unfortunately I havent tested mine so far. I think there is some1 out here that knows the anwser.
look under the hardware monitor in the BIOS, I'll bet with your 1.5x voltage setting your NB is actually at 1.6+Vcore. This board overvolts everything so bad, it is crazy.Quote:

Any good BIOS setup for a q6600 with the 907 bios @ around 3.5?
TY
So if the EPU driver's not installed, it runs in 8phase?
Also, does anyone know what the EPU chip shows up as once the driver has been installed? I'd like to test w/ it disabled.

If anyone doesn't have it installed w/ a ! listed, I'd really appreciate if they would throw up a dev mgr shot or compare it w/ my list.
Thanks!!
Thanks! That's a bit tough to see tho, I think you don't have the LPC listed.
I wasnt aware that I have to install a EPU driver? did I miss something? where on the CD is this driver, and what does it do? Is my motherboard no running at optimal performance without this driver?
