I am looking at going kent asap, it's worth keeping for the gtl tweaking on those quads alone. I love cmos reloaded too, i have profiles saved for different situations, the key one for browsing runs eveything at low volts and clocks, which is all I need for browsing (saving on power) and component life. I have 2 other profiles for benching and gaming. Cmos reloaded should be available on all oc'ing mobos so we can run lean when required. I think what has kept my board going so strong despite my hitting it with every voltage is my cooling both on cpu, water block on the nb and also extra fans blowing at the board. Pushing devices whilst not taking the right precautions regardless of what you are used to on other chipsets/boards is not the way to do things. Almost all areas of this board have been maxed out by me simultaneously without error for long bench sessions, and I ensure things are kept cool with adequate airflow.
does the DFI get kents over 400fsb?
Last i checked that can only be done on 965.

A good strike for balance on this system for everyday use, this is what I meant earlier, we must remeber that 1t on various chipsets is not always the same as the name itself implies, the actual load varies with the internal chipset latency, which is why we are able to run ram faster and slower on various chipsets and at varying vdimm too.

Yeah, I like my board:D

me too, havent tried 1t yet. :)

As ram bandwidth is down running 1T does not take you significantly outside spec. I might try and see the highest I can bench at 1T tonight..Quote:

Please post your bios settings, especially timings page:fact:
Didnt you read my post only one page back? There`s even a link there to a 460fsb over at the Repository!Quote:

Im happy its under 17 sec and 8hours stable w/o tweaks :)
should you manually set strap to 266 if running 1T at 400mhz...like me on my 10th anniv?
here's what I have managed with regards to 3dmark01 thx to my dear friend Phase, he's helped me squeeze this board hard (could not have done it without you man!). Still it can go further (should be in the 75's) with more attention to detail, ok it's no world beater but I am happy I got it this far, the phrase flexibility springs to mind.

Only the RAM is tweaked, rock stable in memtest, haven´t tried Orthos yet. ATM is my 24/7 config, until i have my WC back.Quote:

One question please (sorry if it's allready said).
Can we use Winflash to update the BIOS or I'll need to borow an ol' FDD?
Thanks alot.
I´m on intel stock cooler, so de max. FSB reached is around 400. When I get some decent cooling the fun will start (hoping 450 FSB 24/7, 500+ for benching), but until then i´ll keep it only at 3100mhz. I´ll show you my board´s max. FSB :)Quote:

You probobly know this, but the Scythe infinity is the best hsf I have ever seen. I love mine. my temps never get above 60c with my e6300 @ 3.6ghz (516fsb x7) I would like to peg out my chip and see what my memory could do with more volts.Quote:

BTW S. Infinity and Ninja are nice hsfs, but if i have to choose, maybe i´d go for a tuniq120 :p:
If you can find a 120. I've contemplated going to water, but everything I want costs too much. Plus, heat isn't a problem yet so I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.Quote:

Everest is not working on my PC, when i was installing al the drivers, programs... ir works. But now, when the main screen shows, windows hangs up, in the speakers i get a loud noise, and have to reboot. I´m in exams now, in a few days i´ll do a clean install and use everest. trust me, before this i use everest all the time, but now is impossible.
so is 450 vs 400fsb ..really a performance improvement...one we actually will see in apps
also..would I see anything significant running 4-4-4-18 vs 4-4-4-12 on my crucial ram..
also did you guys manual set strap to 266, 300 or 333
what is memory speed limit for 266 vs 300 vs 333
Corsair 6400 at stock speed 1T.

I have benched with ddr 1200 cas 4 on the 266 strap to around 425 fsb, you can go higher, at 450fsb on the 266 strap, latency is around 55 or so at 4.585 ghz. Lowest latency came in at 511fsb 333 strap ddr1204 cas 4-4-3-4-8, 51.8ns. The latency plays a big part in the speed of this chipset. Getting below 55 is unrealistic for everyday 24/7 use, but around 57-58 is doable. Gtl ref's around 75-85 work well for me with nb gtl at around default, it's worth finding a sweet spot, but on dual cores the difference is not massive, you gain a more stable benching speed rather than outright stability.
bis screens of ddr1100 cas 4 stable are here, but required a vdimm of 2.46, which is a little high...
thanks for sharing Raju.. very nice results you got there.. :)

I've heard that this mobo can work just fine only with a 4 pin EPS conector. Is that true?
And I still have THIS question:

Nice find Abel, seems that DDR2-1100 4-4-3-4-1-2-20 is slower than DDR2-1000 4-4-3-3-1-2-20Quote:

Like Eva2000 said in his review strange stap evolution with this card. I think is due to bios options but can't figure which ones:confused:
post your dram config here if you can..
Korby: 4 pin psu connection works fine on this motherboard and it didn't seem to lower my overclock at all.
Good, nice to know. :D The mobo will come tomorow, but I'll have to wait a while for the CPU & memory. :(
Thanks.
What kind of NB water blocks there are on the market for this mobo? (except DD new bolck desingned for this mobo- we can't get this one in EU)! ;)
I used the Swiftech MCW30 with the provided intel clips, and it fits fine.
http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/7041/rlsb7.th.jpg
Thanks, but it's hard to see how it's mounted! ;)
Now is not mounted, in a few days it will be. Photos and benchs coming soon.

ASUS P5W Series Chipset Freezer

Both fits. I get mine tomorrow (the second) and i will provide photos.
Which BIOS seems to be the best for this motherbard?
There´s only 2 BIOS available... 12/22 fix some RAID issues and improve 1T overclocking, so thats it.
i hope there is a new bios on it's way that might improve oc and fixa so i can turn off the pc because it only restarts after a few seconds, there is prolly an answer here somewere:)
anyone else getting a weird warning message after inital post...
Warning: Hardware ROM or something..so fast I cant fully read
I have no raid and I disabled the promise raid in the bios..does not occur every boot
RAID user here and nothing like that on POST.Quote:

The New DD should offer a solid mount.

What program are u using to clock in windows ? Is there any memconfigurator for windows aswell ?
There are a number of programs available to clock the ICFX3200. I was able to work with abo to create a SetFSB program for it. It is available here:Quote:

The other program, which can control FSB and memory clocks as well as memory timings (except for CAS latency) is AMD System Manager. It should be on your driver CD included with your ICFX3200. If you don't have it, you can download it from here:
http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Downloa...FLAG=A&SITE=US
Hope this helps.
With AMD System Manager i cant change my memorytimings. Seems disabled or something. Do i need to change something in bios ?
Thanks for the tip of setfsb by the way :clap:
Before the change dimm parameters click the refresh button thats all:DQuote:
