hey bro whats the fsb wall on your L727 Q6600 G0?? :)
1 hr prime stable at 466
next jump was 471 and it instantly freezes heheheh
bah try running the board at those settings on WCG for 2 weeks straight.
The board will cook, and you'll run into problems. Im on my third 680i. I absolutely hate it compared to a P35 board.
Also another thing that bugs the crap out of me. Is the infamous C1 error, and the "--" poor ground error. Makes backplates a PITA to install because the -- error is usually related to a poor ground, or your backplate is touching something that it shouldnt.
Anyhow. Great to see your 680i is doing well. As for me, i wouldnt recomend it to anyone that needs a great stable platform.
i don't really run those types of programs any more so it doesn't apply to me
I am running my Q6600 @ 3.51 rock solid on XFX 680i Sli Motherboard too. I love it, 680i sli motherboard has a lot of potential only problem is they never came up with good BIOS.
found this shot on the hard drive and thought it would be interesting to see load temps at 1.4v 3.6GHz quad loaded 1024M wPrime

have a look how much tougher prime95 is on the cpu
RAM was happy priming past 620Mhz :D....we all know how weird these boards can be when it comes to RAM stability (this was not a long prime though heh)

Dinos, here is one of my L726A's.. This one is deff great:D I'll have 4 more L727A's tomorrow so we'll see how they clock:up:

lucky bastard that's a good oneQuote:

I have not tested the max fsb yet.. This was a decent shot as well..

Can you BOINC at that clock?! :)
Damn, wonder if I might have a flu coming on...Cough, cough, sore throat, may have to take a day or two of sick time...
OP can you please post your BIOS setting ?
i intend to play with it again on the weekend if i get time
i used auto voltages but FSB voltage was 1.4, mch 1.5 from what i remember
had some strange things going on with the system last night when i fired it up to get some screens off the drive
i didn't like me putting more than 1.53v on the CPU........i mean i still boot at 4GHz at say 1.57 but the gfx driver doesn't seem to load and it looks really funky the desktop LOL..it was unstable as well
anyways will do some more investigating when i get around to it >>> only thing i changed as far as i can remmeber is going from PCI gfx card to PCI express to test my 8800 which was sitting pretty in a box as i thought it was faulty but it turns out it decided working again ROFL
Isn't that the one I now own?...lol.Quote:

EDIT: Nvm, just remembered the one you sold me you gave a screenie of it at 3.6Ghz not 3.8 :slap:
got to the bottom of the issue i had = dead HDD lolQuote:

Well, I'm glad to see XFX gave a updated. ASUS didn't update the p5n32-E, so I opted for the EVGA 680i A1/T1, and IMHO, it's plenty good too (esp after the vdroop mod).
I'll admit ASUS produces some good boards, but it's hard to support ASUS after my experience with the P5N32-E... watching everyone getting an update, EVGA updating their customers for FREE, while ASUS did nothing... a cranky 1203 BIOS that went gold, then weeks later became beta, no solution in sight... for Quad Performance anyway. :thumbsdown:
i stuck a dual core chip in this motherboard and thought i update here
this chip clocked higher on this board than any intel i tried it on so far
Anyways so i just wanted to roughly get an idea where it's stable at 4GHz clocks

and then i bumped it to 4.3GHz :shocked: :D and did a 32M SuperPi :D :up:

i have a similar setup and can't get anything close to this. is there any way you can share some of your BIOS settings? or maybe point me to a guide for OC'ing this thing
i only get 16k 3d06 marks with SLI of same cards lol :(
anything beyond this, and i crash... I can't go any higher on vga or cpu. using vista x64, thermalright ultra 120 extreme (it's flat - i did a 'ketchup test')

what is the revision of your motherboard
looks like we're using the same revision (A2), but I'm using latest drivers (P31).
if this is too much of threadjack just tell me and i can start a new thread. i need help with this overclock lol :)
could my RAM be holding it back? it's 8GB of OCZ sli edition stuff... it was cheap a couple weeks ago at frys, so i bought it. thought i might return it and try the gskill 2x2 kits instead
actually, i have some ddr2 800mhz ballistix i'll try. see if that changes anything. In the BIOS, i only disabled a couple things to allow changing the clocks, and then upped the ram volts, and changed CPU clocks. didn't change much. followed this guide:

After getting crap out a DFI P35 board I'm really liking this one, it's so much easier, only problem is the cooling solution, that one really sucks! But nice and easy to oc, and easier for me to RMA if it dies one day :p
