Oke I got my Q6600 400x9 - 3.6ghz @ 1.288v prime small ffts stable for 10 hours+, now I am trying 425x9 @ 1.35vcore. But I am wondering if I bumped enough volts: I used 1.4v FSBv bios( 1.44 actual) and 1.49 v NB bios ( 1.51 actual). for 400x9, is this enough for 425x9? try to rule out this before I kept bumping vcore after it fails.

You can either disable it in BIOS(under advanced -> jump free...) or install the driver from AiBooster software manually(after downloaded the AiBooster zip file, unzip it, it's under acpi or acpi64 with 64-bit directory. Of course, you still can install the whole AiBooster software).
Hey.. how to fix waterblock Apogge GT over Maximus Formula... both type of mounting are imposible :s because waterblock touch with heatpipes. :s
Please i need help :s
So, think it's time for clearing up some things and bringing in some facts regarding the NB temp storys going around:
Official Intel X38 thermal spec sheet:
ftp://download.intel.com/design/chip...x/31761201.pdf
from this:
"Component System Bus
Speed
Memory
Frequency
Max Idle
Power
TDP TC-MIN TC-MAX
Intel® 82X38 MCH 1333 MT/s 1333 MT/s 12.3 W 26.5 W 0 °C 92 °C
Advanced Fan Speed Control monitors an embedded thermal sensor. The maximum
operating limit when monitoring this thermal sensor is TCONTROL. For the MCH, this
value is 92 °C. This value should be programmed into the appropriate register of
Intel® Quiet System Technology (Intel® QST), as the maximum sensor temperature
for operation of the MCH."
Set NB voltage in BIOS to auto I get very high 1,648 voltages and idle NB temp of 69 C.
Manually set it to 1,53 brings 1,568v.
Set to 1,49 (the last green value in BIOS) brings 1,520v anf idle temp of 63 C.
All values are prime stable for 24 hours running 3d mark also in loop in background. The temps are with CPU oced 433x8= 3464 MHz(C2D E6850). Vcore is set to auto (1,320v) cause all manually higher set vcores lead to no boot.
Hope this clears up some storys about too high NB temps. As long as NB temp is less than 92 C all is fine. My 77 C when loaded are rockstable as the official Intel specs backups.
Went and checked this morning... My NB wasn't being overvolted all that bad (1.56) but my PLL voltage was insane! Set at 1.6 even, the board had it overvolted up to 1.74! :shocked:Quote:

I got mine set @ 1.5 BIOS and 1.6v @ everest
Really. WTF is an EPU driver? I'm thinking it's Vista 64 related :shudders:Quote:

I any give my an idea.. :p i'll do in a few hours... :d :ROTF: :ROTF:
I mounted my Apogee ( not GT ) liek this mate, it's close but it works fab :Quote:

If you still not at ease you can slightly trim off the egdes of the mounting plate
Nice leeghoofd :D, hows your project progressing?
Jejeje.. but.. mine is not Maximus formula SE... so the heatsink of NB is more taller.... so waterblock not fit.... :s i'm going to scuff a litle
Anyone know the MM points for reading true vdimm, etc voltages?
yeah my bad, just cut off a bit mate , it will work fine... no really heavy modding to do there...Quote:

aith, hope u can get your stuffs soon along with the QX9650, btw I got my cpu stable @ 3.6ghz (400x9) with 1.288 vcore for 10 hours+ small FFts stable.Quote:

Yes.. a litle mod :dQuote:

I will do this..

Or just the little top off isn't that sufficient ? but it will surely work like that, kindda interested in ya temps afterwards as my setup awaits it's quadcore CPU...
Yes a litlle must to fit.. but maybe i'l cut like picture... because.. it seem to be :p more wonderfull :p:p: :rofl: :rofl:Quote:

I'm using wc, 4gigs of 800mhz memory (that i don't want to oc)and a 88oogtx.
TY
How do the D-Tek FuZion CPU block fit on Formula SE?
The Dtek block fits no problem. I have one on the way from someone that used it on this board.
thanks. I wanted this but was too lazy to look for it.Quote:

You can probably lower CPU PLL to 1.50
