Very nice dread77 :up:
Which BIOS and strap to NB did you used please ?
I guess 333mhz strap. BIOS 0504/0506/0601, but which one...(or another ? :p: )
But did you boot fsb 600 and ram 800mhz ?? I can't, I have to boot with one step below(599 fsb & 1596 ddr3) and use setfsb...:rolleyes:
Thx
I got a better one (sub 8:up: but this is for HWbot usage :yepp:).
Bios 0504 (due to 9800GX2, nothing else seems to work properly with this card)
Strap 400 (as you can see my timings were 6-5-5-12 which is pretty tight under PL9)
And yes I boot on 600 FSB as easy as I can boot in 610. This is under cascade, I guess LN2 will make FSB issue easier, but that has to wait a couple of weeks due to vacations... Greek Islands Rule!!!!
Okidoki, thxQuote:

My best fsb is just a bit upper in this topic. And curiously it is also the same max for both of my Wolfdales :)
Good vacations to you bro ;)
Seems like you got a mobo wall there. Anyway, there is a guy I know gets 640 under 0504. Thanks for the wishes, I promise to do my best.:D
Dread when are you coming back ?
LN2 benching gathering is awaiting ;) [ for you and your hardware :p: ]
I have a quick question on which is better. Run my G-Skill at XMP settings (400fsb, multi of 8 for 3.2ghz) or manual (333fsb, multi of 10 for 3.33ghz)? With it at XMP, the ram timings are tighter (7-7-7-18) vice (9-9-9-24), but I can run 1T with the looser timings. Which would you guys recommend? This is with the QX9650 in my sig. I know it's not much of an OC, but it's all I really want to do for now.
Guys I'm starting to think that my board is defective.
Many "indications"/"symptoms" ( which I can't verify on my own because I have only one sample here )...
The craziest "issue" is:
A crazy high voltage drop during BOOT.
Let me explain:
You set the desired CPU Voltage ( Vcore ) in BIOS and boot at any FSB under 501MHz.
The voltage stays relatively stable during the boot process, etc.
I've got around 0.005V fluctuations ( for example 1.900V to 1.905V ).
The crazyness appears as soon as I pass the 500MHz FSB mark in BIOS.
For example when booting at 525MHz with the same settings as the previous "test" at 500MHz I get a crazy drop at a specific time, the very last moment before the welcome screen appears, the time just after the loading bars stop and the screen is about to go instantly blank and back on.
At that specific point, the voltage drops from 1.902V to 1.3xxx / 1.4xxxV depending on its... mood :down:
Anybody else having this issue ?
p.s. Tried BIOSes 0115, 0250, 0504, 0506, 0601.
Hi, I do not try such Vcores so I can't help on this, but I meet issues too, on my side. More like this(and this is not the most inconvenient one): note the difference between logs for the ram frequency readings... http://images4.hiboox.com/images/330...d45aa9c064.jpgQuote:

I'm sorry not being able to help you and comming with some other issue here, but let it be known, this mobo is totally weird !! in some ways as weird as awsome!
Hoping both of our issues will come to a happy end.
PS: about yours, maybe the OV_CPU technic isn't mature yet ?? I wish you to get the clue of this :) Maybe ask pmp forumer directly or OPB on OCXtrem forum ??
It's not happening only at high voltages.
For example, set the BIOS to 1.5V and see your voltage going to 1.3xxV during the black screen/welcome screen process.
OV_CPU has nothing to do with that, as it happens with both the OV_CPU mod done and unmodded.
And of course OV_CPU is done the way I posted some pages back, pin 1 & 2 = enable, pin 2 & 3 = disabled ( or just don't solder anything ).
tel me how to mesure the vcore, a pic would just be great, as I can't reach anything without setting my mobo up side down :/Quote:

your ram?Quote:

PS: If I get you correct, the answer is no, I have enough quality Ram modules and it is a Wall of my motherboard I might have to do with this...
Correct me if I misunderstood your suggestion ;)
@ BenchZowner, I meet the same crasy droop !!! maybe even more than yours
:shocked:
Remarque: I did a second time and it didn't appear this time ... I did 1.5 Vcore, 525 fsb, also 600 and same Vcore, it doesn't move finally, 3 tries. I guess it is stable for me finally, I suppose my hand moved just a bit and quitted the mesuring zone, don't see anything else right now.
I'm using two different soldered probing cables, so it's not my hand for sure :p:
Still waiting for your PM. :slapass:Quote:

Actually "forgot" to do lots of things, had some... unwanted things happening and boredom.
I promise I'll get back to you today or tomorrow :)

Ok Thanks :up:Quote:

Where are the new bios?
Can someone set up a link in the first post?
Why are Asus so slow to realease new bios for Asus Evolution?
