Now that you have reached the max overclock with the stock voltage, its now time for the pin volt mod?Quote:

You should not need water cooling if you keep it below 180 FSB on the
1.45volt MOD.
Why don't you try to flash 775Dual-VSTA with the 4CoreDual-VSTA board bios?
What does the 4CoreDual-VSTA bios got that the 775Dual-VSTA does not have?Quote:

The 4CoreDual-VSTA replaces the 775Dual-VSTA as of today.
ASRock proudly released 4CoreDual-VSTA based on VIA® PT880 Ultra, which supports Quad Core CPU!

You beat me too it i was just about to post that :)
I noticed that the Bios updates for the Qaud core have the same reason
for there updates as the dual core ?
It may be possible to bios flash the 775Dual-VSTA with the 4CoreDual-VSTA bios, once the support for the 775Dual-VSTA support stops or if you want to run the 4 Core CPU and the 2.10 bios does not work with it.Quote:

How much volts does my memory get when the DRAM Voltage i set to HIGH? My memory is a single module Kingston 667 512MB. I found out that 1T works with DDR2 only when there are 2 modules of memory. My friend bought 2x 512MB Super T 667 and it works on 1T.

It does not surprise me if they are using Ultras in the 775dual-vsta towards this boards end of production.Quote:

FWIW I just bought a 775Dual-VSTA in the UK, not even put the thing in a case yet and I've popped the northbridge heatsink - there's a PT880 Ultra lurking under there. PCB Rev is G/A 1.02
Could it be the 4CoreDual-VSTA is equivalent to the 775Dual-VSTA versions with the PT880Ultra? I've spent a good few minutes looking over pics of both and other than the updated screen printing proclaming quad core these look absolutely identical.
Now am I'm going to get brave and forcefeed my 775Dual the 4CoreDual BIOS??

Hi guys,
after following this and another thread, I decided to pay the premium for the 4CoreDual-VSTA (from Techfever in the UK), hoping that it would OC my 805D (and soon E4300) better than the 775Dual.
I just installed it and ran CpuZ 1.38 on it - and it's identifying the chipset as the PT880 PRO! (see details) CpuZ should be able to ID the ultra right? Are they rebadging the old 775 boards?? If yes I'll be mightily pissed off, having hunted for and then coughed up the premium and delivery charges when I could have bought the 775Dual cheap locally.
The board is labelled 4CoreDual-Vsta, Rev. G/A 1.0 (between the PCI slots), but instead of the:
Conroe
Kentsfield
Presler
FSB1066
Quadcore CPU
you can see in the official pichttp://www.asrock.com/mb/photo/4Core...A(Enlarge).jpg
Mine has
Conroe
Presler
FSB1066 and a sticker covering something up underneath, that says
QuadcoreCPU Kentsfield
?
Update: I've compared the offical 775Dual and 4CoreDual pictures, and the CPU list on my board is exactly like the 775Dual, except for the sticker that now says "QuadcoreCPU Kentsfield"!
Also I knew that Asrock recently disabled the CPU Quiet function on the latest 775Dual BIOS' as the boards were getting too hot (screams 'design fault' doesn't it), so I emailed them before buying the 4Core and they assured me that it worked on it... except it doesn't with the latest 1.30 BIOS! (it did with the 1.0 it came with)
My guess is that the Pro chipsets can overheat as they're not specced for 1066 FSB, and so the BIOS only disables QuietFan on those chipsets. Actually it doesn't disable it, the option is still there in the BIOS - it simply ignores it (nice).
Been in touch with the dealer, will post when I have more info - but let's say I'm not pleased...
I will try to flash my 775Dual-VSTA with the 4CoreDual-VSTA as soon as I find out how to remove the bios, so if anything goes wrong, I can go to my friends house (who has 775Dual-VSTA again :D ) and flash it back.
~I need help!!!!! MY mac address has gone!!!!!
Followed what was posted on page one but i cant see anything on mobo that says mac address.. so have tried random numbers off the motherboard but no luck.
Where is the mac number located ???#
thakns
God this board is a piece of :banana::banana::banana::banana:..Flashed with the 2.40 bios and get the no mac address in cmos or lan error.
Flashed it back to 1.60 andd it boots fine.
Re flash 2.40 and it works fine.
Only trouble is every time i install ATI drivers for my X800XTPe it gets past the windows loading screen then just hangs on a black screen with the mouse pointer doing nothing for absolutely ages!!!!
So i have to revert back to previous settings with no ati driver.. which means no game playing"!!!!!!!!
Wish i never went back to intel after only using amd for so many years... piece of :banana::banana::banana::banana:!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Was looking around for a new vga bios but the only Asus one i could find was the one already flashed to my x800xtpe so i thought i would try a power color as they are always pretty good.
When comparing the version numbers i saw the power color was quite a bit dsiffrent.
asus ver009.002.001.002
power color ver009.004.001.013
Flashed the bios installed the drivers which gave a error but installed ccc anyway it booted into windows the installed the bit it crashed on in the first place.
So if anyone else has this problem try a newer vga bios or diffrent manufacturer bios.
Do you mean the latest CpuZ now tells you it's an Ultra? Do you have a screenshot?Quote:

Now to see how far this board can go without volt mods!!! on stock cooler :)
I'm having no luck with my 805D on the 4CoreDual. On my Asus P5P800SE I had it running at 3.31GHz with stock voltage/cooler & DDR400 for 6 months (until the mobo died). The exact same setup is only stable up to 2.9GHz on the 4Core, using either the same memory or DDR2-533 sticks. It won't even post past 3GHz.
Tried most combinations of relevant BIOS options (apart from the advanced stuff), slowing down the memory, the PCI-Ex at 100, 114, in sync, upping mem/AGP voltages, nothing seems to work...
Here is a different spin for why Asrock discontinued the 775Dual-VSTA in favour of the 4CoreDual-VSTA from (atlr) in a different thread.

Perhaps it's just a name change to make things super clear?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That Asrock link now shows the 775Dual-VSTA does NOT support quad core. I think the reason the 775QuadCore-VSTA was creeated is the same reason that Dell updated the XPS 700 to 710. The quad core processor has hardware design requirements that the 775Dual-VSTA may lack.
Quote from this Dell blog
http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archi...1/15/3573.aspx
"As most of you know, Intel's Core 2 Extreme QX 6700 Quad-core processor will ship soon. Several of you have asked if this new processor will work on your existing XPS 700 motherboard.
...
Here’s what our development team had to say. Based on Intel’s current design guidelines, the Intel Quad Core Extreme Processor should work on the XPS 700 motherboard. However, Intel revised the design guidelines for boards to be compatible with this quad core processor to decrease the signal impedance of the front side bus. This is different from the board specifications on the XPS 700. Also, Intel specifies that the Quad Core Extreme Processor needs 4 GTLREFs (GTLREF is reference voltage to the CPU front side bus to recognize signals as high or low for data coming to the bus) and the XPS 700 board has only two references. Intel’s revised design guidelines for the signal impedance change and the requirement for two additional GTLREFs to support its Quad Core processor caused Dell to make system-level board changes that have been implemented with the new XPS 710. With those changes, Intel’s new quad-core processors are fully supported on the XPS 710.
Here are the legal disclaimers:
Intel quad core processors may have stability/life expectancy issues when used on the XPS 700 because it lacks the required GTLREF support, or they may not work at all.
If you attempt to upgrade an XPS 700 with an Intel Quad Core Extreme Processor, we can’t guarantee that the Intel Quad Core Extreme Processor will work, nor will it provide support for quad core processor-related issues."

Like with my 805D, nothing helps - slowing memory timings/flexibilty on, AGP/memory voltage high, with sync/async, PCI-E at 100 or 114+, disabling just about everything, removing all PCI cards etc.
I also tried all available BIOS' (latest is now 1.40), no change. However, any BIOS after 1.10 also removes the Speedstep and Thermal Throttling options completely, and of course the fan speed option no longer works, so this board is looking worse all the time.
I've only got an Antec NeoHE 430W PSU, but that was fine on the 805D (on P5P800SE), but that also runs much worse on the 4Core. Disconnecting all my 12V loads (HDs, opticals, fan & cathode) is exactly the same so I don't think it's the PSU.
At this point I'd have to say the 4CoreDual is a piece of junk. Anybody have any ideas what else to try _before_ I start volt modding?
New chipset drivers are available from VIA.

I was getting up to 293FSB using the recommended BIOS settings given earlier in this thread. Anything more and Windows wouldn't boot.
Your v-mods took it to 315FSB. I took VNB up to 1.65V and Vagp up to 1.8V. These are both the highest values normally given in a true overclocking BIOS where you could tweak such things. I feel 100% safe with these voltages.
As the E4300 has a multiplier of x9, that's a CPU speed of. My DDR500 RAM runs at DDR472. This machine really flies!
I think it would be fair to say that the majority of boards should make at least 300FSB with these voltages. 300x9=2.7GHz. That would also conveniently take your DDR400 memory to exactly DDR400 when the BIOS is set to 'DDR333'.
Looking forward to the E4400. 315x10=?. Mwahahahahaha! :slobber: :slobber:

:yepp:
OK, I did both Vagp & Vnb pencils yesterday. The layout on the 4Core is exactly as shown in the mod thread pic (including the component numbers), only I was reading slightly different values for both resistors (that's with the PSU switched off but still grounded):Quote:

I took Vnb up to 1.5V (~850 ohms) - it took me past the BIOS hang for another 5 FSB, but it would usually just reset within seconds of booting into XP.
I then raised Vagp to 1.69V (1.84kohms) - not only did that get me up to 305 (from my original 284), but it's been 11hours dual-prime stable now! My hunch is that Vagp has far more impact on stability than Vnb on this board.
I'm still hanging the BIOS at 310, so the next thing is to up Vcore - silver paint at the ready, I'll post results later. Strange though that 305 is totally stable, yet 310 won't even POST :confused: .
... so I then found a post where somebody substituted silver paint with aluminium tape (sticky on one side, conductive on the other), and also recomended insulating all affected CPU pins on the CPU side (probably not needed on the Core2's, but hey). I had some so I did precisely that:Quote:

http://r-i-l.net/_pics/4core_mods/E4300_135_14V.gif
At first this didn't boot at all! Turns out that it just needed the usual two failed boots before it would reset to 1.8Ghz - after that it was fine.
... except it didn't seem to help at all. So I messed around with my resistors again, couldn't get the NB any higher with my pencil, in the end decided to leave them (close to) were they were. Now, for some reason, it POSTs and seems prime-dual stable at 310 :) - go figure. But even 312 hangs at the BIOS.

The real champ is my DDR2-533 memory, overclocking to ~310 (1:1) at stock timings without any extra voltage. It was the cheapest I could find 2nd-hand and actually branded for Apples :clap:.
So, I think I'm done here, it's a good result. I'm pretty sure the CPU can go much higher on the right board, maybe that'll be my next upgrade. For now thanks to everyone who contributed to make it all possible, and good luck to those about to try :toast:.
Good Stuff. :clap:
Did you active cool the North Bridge? :confused:

Yep, I have an 8cm fan blowing partly on the NB, partly on my passively-cooled Nv 6800. Saying that, the nb heatsink doesn't seem to get very warm :confused: (need to check under load again).Quote:

Oh yeah! I've been running RM Clock to enable SpeedStep - for me it only actually drops the multiplier if C1E is enabled. But after doing the Vcore mod, I heard this really weird intermittent high-pitched whine that I couldn't explain. It's actually coming from the CPU, but only if C1E is enabled!
No idea what's going on there, I guess changing Vcore screwed the SpeedStep voltages somehow :eek: ? But why would it create audible noise?? I can record it if anyone's interested.

Hello all,
Just wanted to chime and say I am loving this board. Dirt cheap and stable for me. I even halfway killed the thing, but only lost a IDE channel from my stupidity!
I want to maybe throw out a suggestion for people using the e4300 to see if it you can gain higher FSB's with a different strap.
Try this BSEL mod to fool the mobo into thinking you have 1066 CPU. It worked wonderfully for me.
BSEL1 to VSS
My e4300 boots at 2.4GHz with no fiddling of the bios.

PS - I will probably try these volt mods when I upgrade to another mobo.
Thanks to bryan-d and VoRtAn_MaDgE.
There is a pin mod (for the 800FSB CPU’s) that makes your CPU boot at 1066FSB default instead of the 800FSB.
This should help the Overclock the E4300 a bit.

Hi Men!
Your overclock is a full [censored].
Your memory is not stable.
Check in the S@M - memtest №3
100% that you get errors

Hi,
I have the 4Coredual + E6600 + 1Gb DDR GEil One (2x512) tccd. Question- Why can't it work FSB:DDR 1:1? The max. ratio is 4:3.
Thanks,
Oscar

The following may be helpful to someone...
You cannot lock the memory speed on this motherboard, but you can manually change the divider to bring the memory speed back down when you overclock.
The dividers aren't expressed as dividers in the BIOS. They are expressed as DDR speeds which can be a little confusing.
I'll try to explain:
At 200MHz FSB (quad-pumped 800MHz for an E4300), the motherboard will give the following memory speeds for its stated 'DDR' speeds when used with DDR memory...
'DDR400' = 1:1 = 200MHz = DDR400,
'DDR333' = 6:5 = 166.7MHz = DDR333,
'DDR266' = 3:2 = 133.3MHz = DDR266.
These dividers hold true until the we reach an FSB of 240MHz where a new set of dividers are invoked as shown below. Now, suppose that we take the FSB straight up to the level that most unmodified Dual-VSTA motherboards will reach. This seems to be around 290MHz. The dividers and memory speeds will then be as follows...
'DDR400' = 4:3 = 217.5MHz = DDR435,
'DDR333' = 8:5 = 181.25MHz = DDR362.5,
'DDR266' = 2:1 = 145MHz = DDR290.
These new dividers make perfect sense when you consider that at an FSB of 266MHz, the memory speeds are actually DDR400, DDR333 and DDR266 again. This gives the correct memory speeds for processors running at a quad-pumped speed of 1066MHz, ie, the E6300, etc.
So, we don't have precise control over the memory speed achieved for a given FSB, but we can predict what it will be and select the appropriate 'DDR' setting in the BIOS for a given FSB.
Good DDR memory with slackened timings should manage at 290MHz FSB on the new dividers. If it doesn't, then knock the setting in the BIOS down to the 'DDR' setting below the one that matches your memory's actual DDR speed and try tighter timings to compensate for the underclock.
I hope this makes sense."
In my case i have fsb 290 async, DDR's are in 200Mhz without flexibility, and cpu-z says that my memory run in ~417Mhz with 5/4 divider, and that seem to be quite a max with my ValueRam's (Dual C, 1T, 3-3-3-8).
Hope this helps.

@Alchemist,
Thanks for the info.
ps. Any mod bios for the 4Coredual?
Oscar
A word of caution to everybody out there who is, or is thinking of, dramatically increasing the 1.35v "Vnb" identified by Mallet at Vr-zone ( http://forums.vr-zone.com/showpost.p...76&postcount=1 ) ----> if the 4CoreDual-VSTA is just a 775Dual-Vista with a proper Quad Core Kentsfield capability, then I have just checked a 4CoreDual-VSTA mobo and found that the said Vnb voltage is actually the CPU Vtt supply. And the 4CoreDual-VSTA default Vtt of 1.35v would already be considered high for a Core 2, so who knows what is happening to the life expectancy of the CPU with the insane 1.7v or higher levels that some people are trying?
I don't believe much will be gained from increasing the CPU's current Vtt level, however if you are someone who must do it then I recommend limiting your activity to no more than 1.5ish?

Maybe this will be usefull to your need,Quote:

775Dual-VSTA Bios Update
Bios Version 2.60
Modify registry of chipset
http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.as...ual-VSTA&s=775
I wish they would explain more.
Yeah what does that mean? I found a new option in Chipset, it's "Echo TPR Disable" and the options are Disable/AUTO. What is it used for?Quote:
