Nah, readings in windows, i set anything over 30, and it stays at 3.46 Ghz. I tried 31, 32, 33, 35, it doesn't go beyond 3.46 Ghz. And 1333 strap doesn't boot.
orion Badaxe reports temps notoriously high.

Let me get this stright. At stock the FSB is 1066 / 4 = 266. DDR2 533 = 533 /2 = 266 = 1:1.
So if your running your CPU at stock speeds is it better to set your PC6400 Ram at DDR2 533 speeds to achive 1:1 instead of running it at full speed?
at stock speeds, 1:1 will be only DDR2-533, it's not better. 1:1 is good when you're getting your FSB up in the 400s.
I'm still stuck at 3.46 Ghz. 1333 strap doesn't work. I got it to finally boot at 1333 and in windows it was at stock. i added 5% and it went to 2.8 GHz :(
Still at 1066, anything past 30% doesn't register as more than 30%. And clockgen doesn't work, even with the right PLL.
Stuck at 3.46 Ghz.
Absolute, check this out. You might want to check the clock gen on the board. Coolaler said if he used a 50% burnin, it would set it at 30%. I saw this thread when it was put up so i checked to make sure I was on ICS before I installed anything... just incase.
Yeah, thanks. I do have the IDT. So that's why i top out at 30% oc, 1333 strap doesn't work, and clockgen doesn't work :doh:
It seems weird they'd basically destroy their board using that. Maybe try flashing back to 1334 bios to see if that helps something. (even if only allowing 1333 strap)

Feeling the air by the cooler, it was very cool and the bottom of the zalman was as well.
With the Badaxe, I can really feel the heat and the bottom of the zalman is rather warm. @ 3.3 temps are already 32c idle
A few more questions now guys,
What is the default voltage for the vmch and fsb?
If my FSB is below the 400 mark then what ratio should i be shooting for? I have just been setting the ram at DDR2 800 in the bios since thats what it is rated for. This ratio stuff i need to learn.
Don't set it as 800mhz, because once you start bumping the "burn in mode", your ram will be pushed higher than 800mhz and it might not take it.Quote:

Have to remember, this thread is about the BadAxe board. How you set memory on the P5W DH should be completely different. You might want to check the numerous threads on that board to see if that was the right move to make. On the BadAxe, you don't tell it what type of RAM you have, you tell it the divider (in a round about way) you want to run at.Quote:
