that bugs me to have Intel speed-step separated from C1E...that is soooooo not with it in organization of the bios.Quote:

what overclock or Mhz are you trying for???Quote:

550x10 was the max I could get from cpu on d.ice. nothing exciting. There are a ton of dudes on HW bot with e8600s well over 6ghz. This cpu didn't turn out to be the best -0 clocker. I tried every setting you can imagine.
ram will easily do 600mhz cas 5 but this was my sweetest spot. THis cpu is going on ebay tomorrow.
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=410536
system was:
biostar tpower i45
e8600
crucial Tracer 2x1gb
mushkin xp-800ap psu
some pci video card i had laying around
custom container
a 10k rpm 45mm fan on the stock nb
some dry ice from Armato Ice from the upper east side on 88th and 2nd. ($20 for 10 lbs)
some dry ice snow in a ziploc squished between the dimms with a fan blowing over it.
and a 80gb raptor
4gb to 4.5 stable ace
edit: 4g to 4.5 ace

if this does not do it, you will need to list from top to bottom in your post starting with voltages, CPU and MCH GTL REF settings along with skew settings and then top to bottom with memory settings...
it is the only way to narrow your problem down...we need to see the whole picture, not just snippets.
cool thanks ace will do
ace booted into windows at 4.2 not stable yet but working on it, t-power read it at 5.2 is normal! how can i get my ram to run at its raided speed of 1066 or more.
edit 4.425
what program are you using to rate stability!?Quote:

i thought this was interesting comparison.
i did a PCMARK 2005 bench on the IP35 Pro and then ran it against Gigabyte's X48T-DQ6 (ddr3)...as you can see, the X48 was ahead anywhere between 0 to 8% in the four categories....all the hardware was exactly the same except for the obvious ddr3 memory on giga's board.
what i see now, the P45 chipset is just about X48's equal...the obvious difference is the PCIe 2.0 bus speed..the X48 has 16x link speed for both 16x slots while the P45 offers only one full 16x speed...if you put it into the crossfire mode, the link speed drops to 8x for both 16x slots..you really do not see a big drop with the video card at 8x speed...graphics speed declines only 6% in performance...you kind of get faked out when you see a 8x linked speed for the P45 in the crossfire mode and then observe 16x link speed for the X48...it doesn't even correlate to even coming close, obviously, to a 50% drop.;)
reason i mention this is for users like myself who want to use the 2nd 16x PCIe slot for a raid card like the areca raid card (8x card)....so...i have to set crossfire mode to make the areca card operational, at least on the Biostar board.
EDIT:...need to add the reason for a higher PCMARK 2005 score...mostly due to my new WD Veloci-Raptor drives in Raid 0
i'm going to setup the dual drives used on the PCMARK 2005 bench between IP35 Pro and the X48T-DQ6 to get as an exact comparison for overall system performance....like i said before, the hardware is exactly the same except for motherboard and obvious DDR3 memory used on the X48 board.
need help
anyone experiencing a problem with crossfire in this biostar tpower??
what kind of problem are you having?
I initially had problems with Crossfire, but that was just because, in my stupidity, I was only changing one jumper instead of all nine. For some reason my mind just couldn't fathom that all those red things needed to be moved...;)
my game always crash even at default , im using 8.8 catalyst , if not crash it become BSOD , oooohhhh man please help , bit desperate here
My biostar is completely dead now it just show a FF code , restart once and again show the FF code no beep nothings , Tride toremove the battery over 8 hours and to clear the CMOS but no luck , any one got similar issue is it the MOBO or CPU dead . too bad i don't have another motherboard or CPU to test .

prime 95 for 1hour, so for stable super PI 1m 10.656, windows is slow to boot though.
take a look at this link..."FF" is a bootblock problem.Quote:

but when i was only using single card , its no problem at all , this problem came when i upgrade to Cross Fire , stiil need solution , please help anyone experiencing the same problem with crossfire?
