Pretty decent board I find.
Not much time to play around with it.
Memory timings make quite a difference in my
3D06 cpu score.
very hard to beat this board for the buck !
Yeah im doing good, tired. Had to help my boss move house today so didn't really work on the shop floor in my office. Then had to drive all the way down south to get some porjects in for work thats part of my new job role. I just got gomw, 19:41 and normaly i am home at 14:45! Long day but least i have a new company van to rag about and new company car tormrow, perks of my job!
Right PSU i forgot to do, will do latter
Im still on the original bios, MSI are so friking gay you have to be online to do it when my rig aint and wont be for a bit...this is there biggest draw back. T****sers
I think i can pull sub 13 vergin on 12.xx maybe les when i fondel with timings. might try latters we shall see boys
wow! great job you have. (Company car to drive.)
heehee :D
Anyway, i'll do some more benches too.
Update here, hopefully we can share our experience. :)
I got it too boot in the end at 3.9, 444 fsb but it's doggy as hell. Got to be my PSU as it's making some nasty noise at times as well.
Still yet to fondel with RAM timings but i got a 12.XXX super pi but i was unable to get a screen shot.
Need a clock gen/setfsb for the P35 is there one?
I think i will play with the 4 set of timings only and see what happens.
Still running the single card till new PSU arrives
eyel stick around just to see what you fondel next !! dont know bout p35 clock gen.... would need to fondel your pll ;)
I've heard there is a set FSB for the P35.
Got some new cooling stuff being sorted now, just build time on it and a new CPU soon, E6850 does 4.1G on water
I found a hidden bios menu.
If you press F4 in the core cell menu,
a power user mode will appear.

Inside the menu :

Never really tried it out.
Looks a little complicated to me.
I set the 1st 2 to 0010.
Seems a little more stable to me.
skew ?? Wat Is Skew ??
Humm so enter Bios, Cell Menu then just F4...
I Googled MSI Skew and all i saw all the time was . . .
There is an old English saying as well ofQuote:
Skew Mode = slower
, if i can remeber back to when my Grandad use to say it i think it ment Flipping heck or something.Quote:
Skew If
It looks like it's soemthing to do with both cores in that screen :banana::banana::banana::banana: as it's listing 0 and 1, if you had a quad in there i guess it might be 0,1,2,3
I'm using the new CPUz that came out today, shows i got a 2T command on RAM yet in BIOS i see no option to chnage to 1T..any ideas?
Oh and i need the beta versio of memset as this 3,3 final aint any use!
if it's not in the bios try memset via winxp mate but 1T doesn't work on my Asus either (although it's in the bios)
I have no option in Memset 3.3 final...
I'd love to read the review on this one too:DQuote:

Oh well, will try more over the weekend.
Down with gastic... arrgghhh... agony....
Mate, have no idea either. :DQuote:

F4 menu i've lookd at but not used.
I need that memset you have, please e-mail me it. Address is in my profile and is my msn contact.
those spi times look good for stock settings you have there Pete
i like the drive strength options ....maybe time to pickup one of these boards :D
I've sent you the email.Quote:

Andy thanks for the memset, i shall try it tonight when i get home from work!
Dinos22 yeah not too bad at all, did play a little last night and shocking how much of huge chnage timings make!
Need sort new cooling for SB, NB, Mosfets, i checked brefly and i don't think the the EK Asus 3 mosfet fits, soemthing water wise has got too or decent air at least.
NB i think runs cool but i'm already pumping max bios volts into it.
I'd love to upgrade the bios, i think they might give more options
Also i need volts mods, read points more that anything so i can see what the bord is like but i think 1.85v on the NB might allow some huge overclock.,
Max so far i had on my E6600 was 445fsb, i might try with the multi lower again
No prob, I try to email msi see can get any special bios.
heehee.. :D
I've ever email them before for my G33.
They gave me a pretty good bios. :D
How do you update the bios? I can but will not what so ever put it online. It's benching unit only so a usb flash drive is all i haveQuote:

I can do with this mobo fsb 550 MHz at multiplier 6x stable in SuperPI 32M. :)
Unfortunately above 520 I have huge performance fall even I set h/w jumper up 333. Everest shows me memory read 31xx MB/s instead about 9xxx MB/s. :/
Only method to gain good performance is to boot from <520 and use SetFSB.
In my case it demands VNB above 1.525v.

I have stability problems with high Vcore at so high fsb. I think that it's mobo fault. Maybe some NB core vmod could solve this problem?
Did anybody test settings available in power user mode? Does it improve stability or perfomance in superpi/syntetic benchmarks?
can you guys do 32M runs at 3.6GHz with the best RAM (speed or timings) and largesys cache tweak
