Ok well I thought about it more and I will have to take it out at this point any way so, I guess technically it will just take me ten minutes more to test it out side the case any way. I hooked up my other power supply to it today and it did the same thing. I got all Macgyver on it and shorted the pins on my main Power Supply so I wouldn't have to take all those cables off of the hard drives etcetera and just used my other one to plug in to the 24 pin and the 8 pin connectors on the motherboard.Quote:

IM BACKi got my new board and with my e8400 and WCing with an airconditioner
temps are awesome.:D
i did a quick install today and threw in my E8400 (recently returned from vacation) and used the same settings as before,and everything worked
great.but look at the temps on the cpu.my temp sensors are stuck at 27c and 29c and wont go lower.just a quick run.but i cant wait to see how high
i can take it now that im on water:D
9x500@4500 ddr1200.

Guys I need help tweaking my CPU Ref, I'm using Q9550/UD3R, I tried different ref .760,.785,.800 and all passed prime95 fine so I'm not sure which settings I should leave, I feel .800 makes the system more responsive. here is my current settings:

Wow Radaja,amazing results!
Heh does anyone know what are the maximum temps you want on the NB, I have MCHTemp installed and just wandering what to keep temps to.
Ok, this is was what it came down to being after all that,

I switched to my old thermalright bracket and now it is working. I think that they should say to push down in the middle on the sticky pad real good so it doesn't short things out right under the CPU.. It had to have been that because I put in my old heatsink and it worked just fine. Then I thought about that sticky pad on the swiftech bracket and pondered so I went ahead and used the Thermalrights bracket instead which has the middle part cut out so it doesn't touch the solder right under the CPU and now it is working again. I dropped a raid drive though so, I am reinstalling Windows right now. That's ok though its working again so I'm happy. Thanks for the advise guys. :up: I will post my results later.
truehighroller,thats great to hear you got it going again.
Viper,thanks.how is that MCHtemp program workingQuote:

for you?i only ask because i could never utilize it,because
of the 50c thing.i could never get it to show my temps
cause mine were always too low for it to show any changes.
Jor, did you ever test that EP45T ?Quote:

Here's my testing results so far @ 500 FSB (8.5 x 500FSB or 4.25Ghz):
DDR3 1333 - 7-7-7-19 PL8 @ 1.5v Turbo On, Stable
DDR3 1600 - 8-8-8-22 PL9 @ 1.65v Turbo On, Stable (best bandwidth)
DDR3 2000 - 9-9-9-24 PL10 @ 1.72v Turbo off, Not stable (a little lower bandwidth than 1600 cas 8)
@ 8.5 x 500 (4.25Ghz) I'm getting these in everest memory bandwidth tests:
Read = 105xx
Write = 106xx
Copy = 107xx
I'm sure there's a way around the strict TRD compliance - clockgening, but I prefer to run settings directly from bios.
I have to say one of the advantages of the DDR3 boards are the cheap, but fast DDR3 sticks with low voltages you could utilize in them. I'm really happy, and watch out for some screenies from me.
Nice :up: See if you can get 8x525 on Auto strap with 3.20B multi. The bandwidth is awesome but I just can't get mine stable. My E7500 proc is limiting me I believe since I have to jump from 1.375 to 1.425 in BIOS to go from 8x500 to 8x515. Might need 1.30-1.34 MCH though.Quote:

Do both, but if you have to do one it should be the northbridge.
already wcing nb, asking about mosfets and vregsQuote:

I am rock stable again at 4.2GHz now and able to crank my voltage up more on my CPU now that I have water cooling. My temps are 36C Idle and 76C under load with "IntelBurnTest". Probably around 60C with Prime95 is my guess. I will post my settings for this feet here in a little bit. I am working at home today and still installing programs etcetera. I have a funny, feeling that I can push allot further now that my cooling can handle the wattage output.
thanks andressergio,if i can find that one specialQuote:

truehighroller,nice OC you got there:up:
:eek: i don't understand how most of you guys get cpu temps so high, i barely see 50C under Orthos load at 3.9ghz on my TRUEQuote:

You're not using enough FSB Term voltage maybe "and it is probably why you can't even get it to boot"? Plus if you run and utilize, which I suggest doing IntelBurntTest or Linx then your temps while benching using either or will be higher. The Thermalright Extreme can only handle around 200Watts of heat output is my guess because I have never been able to run across it documented any where. I have perfected how to tweak the FSB term just right. I posted about it awhile ago here and on the Q9550 thread as well. You don't want to start going over 1.45V is what Intel, has documented. I think mine is set to 1.4 and my northbridge is set to 1.54 and my gtls for the both are set to .912 which has been spot on it seems like for me so far. I am at 1.375 for CPU voltage in the BIOS and actual is 1.34xx at idle and 1.324v~ for load. I might be able to drop this eventually but, I am still feeling everything out considering I just had to reinstall everything. Every CPU is different though etcetera etcetera.... I have a :banana::banana::banana::banana:y VID of 1.2375 so this is probably why I need some more voltage on my FSB Term.Quote:

Its working fine for me...at 1.4V MCH it wouldnt budge past 50C, so I jacked the MCH up to 1.65ish and ran blend for a minute, and it shot up into the 60sQuote:

Ok, I found something else about this motherboard and it might have been said before but if so, I haven't seen it. I was benching and about to leave to go some where so I shut my system down. I went ahead for the hell of it and touched the mosfets right above the CPU with the funky little sink on them all by it self. That thing was damn close to being so hot that it could have blistered me. I put a little powerful fan on it and now my CPU is running about 6c more cool @ full load. I can touch it after doing benching now as well.
Truehighroller,are you talking about this area?
where the 3 red dots are?
