1:1 ration = the lowest ram speed setting you have. It is 2 x the FSB.
yes, it's the lowest memory speed, which brings up a question i had. i thought in general, p45's were not that great at 1:1, but it seems mine is the most stable at this divider. i can run them at fsb 333mhz or 400mhz on 1:1 just fine, but when i run at fsb 333 with the divider 5:6, i get instability in orthos really quick. what settings do i need to change?Quote:

Compared to onboard realtek chips, the soundcard is a real mess. there is a test on the internet with graphics showing the noise ratio level and other stuff..
i simply just can't understand why asus uses this mess on one of there "best" boards. the realtek drivers are also much better than those from this soundmax :banana::banana::banana::banana:...
oder, um es auf deutsch zu sagen: die soundkarte taugt einfach absolut nicht. wenn du was richtiges willst, greif zu einem anderen board (es gibt ernsthaft bessere die vor allem billiger sind) oder einer extra soundkarte die ihr geld und ihre leistung wert ist. kommt natürlich immer darauf an was man damit machen will..
You're meaning that's not an improvement of the bundle so ?
I can't give some more détails about it : cus' I haven't plugged it yet :D ...since august xD (don't need sound for benchin' at all)
i am using corsair dominators 1066Quote:

It will lower your ram overclock if you are using a higher divider like 4:5 now.Quote:

Nice result there gays! :)
I have played with my Dominator V1.1 and tryed to hit 600MHz but that is impossible. I also tryed to do 4-4-4-12 at 500MHz but no success there too. Are there any key because I have read a number of reviews regarding these memorys and all of them could do 500MHz, 4-4-4-12 2,1-2,2V. I use 1.4V on NB.
I have a nice 500x9 24/7 clock but I am not happy over my memory speed so far!
Any advice?
Sounds like your ram can't do it. What speed can you do 4-4-4-12 at?Quote:

its wierd that you cant do 1200mhz with your dominators, mine do it @ 2.3v pretty easily, although my system is pretty unstable as a whole when i run a 5:6 divider so i like to keep mine 1:1... theres really not that big of a performance difference... pics
1:1 ratio @ 533x8
http://phase-changin.com/shoottothrill-images/1to1.JPG
and now the 5:6 @ 500x8
http://phase-changin.com/shoottothrill-images/5to6.JPG
as you can see i get better write/copy speeds @ 1:1 with only a 300mb difference from running @ 1200mhz, timings on both are 5-5-5-15-2T as you can see, so im stickin with 1:1 until the stability fairy comes and taps my comp with his wand.
If you can, run a SPI 32M run at each setting and you will see the difference. 533 is a very high FSB for 24/7 use though. Very nice clocking e8400 too.
Ok, guys! ;)
I have not tryed higher voltage than 2.21V (in bios) so maybe I can bump up little more even if that are risky for 24/7! I will also give the blue slots a chance...
Maybe my trfc and performance lever was to tight as well...
It is not possible to change tref in bios, right?

BIOS settings above - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=1922
Any advice for getting better RAM speeds
Currently FSB 450MHz, Strap 333MHz, DDR2-1081.
Tried increasing to strap 266MHz, DDR2-1128 - failed OCCT in seconds
Tried changing DRAM skew to advance 150ps - as above
Tried changing DRAM skew to advance 300ps - didn't even boot into windows.
Back on DDR2-1081 tried to inc twister from mod to strong - again OCCT failed in seconds.
If on moderate then OCCT RAM goes for 15hours.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Andy

To run twister on strong or higher you will require alittle more NB juice then your 1.29voltsQuote:

eh, 1:1 is really all i need... i really only play warhammer. but now when i get my SS fired up and ready to rock im definetally going to be switching it up some.
I can't game on this board with 500+ FSB, as it makes the games play in fast forward, even the menus etc run at super speed and its ridiculously unplayable. For example if I play a Need for Speed title, the cars take off at what looks like 600 KM/H and you crash almost immediately. it does not matter what multiplier or divider i choose, and changing every setting does not prevent it from happening. At 499 FSB or less its ok. That is also one of my reasons for using a sub 500 FSB setting. BTW my P5Q-Deluxe did the same thing, i think it may be a P45 'feature' lol.
Wow. Would never have thought that it makes such huge differences.Quote:

Seriously if i made a video of the games when it does it you'd laugh your ass off its so fast. Not 'awesome you have high frame rates' fast, but 'stupidly ridiculous unplayable something is definitely wrong' fast.
Sorry for the double post, but could someone with a quad (9650 or 9770) please do a max stable FSB test on this mobo using a lower multiplier? I'm very curious to know what it can achieve.
EDIT - I mean stable as in preferably SPI32M stable, but 3D stable, 1M stable, whatever, just post it up.
It all depends on your ram and specific oc. Mine can't do 1200mhz, in conjunction with my oc, i'm stuck @ 1:1.Quote:

Can anyone get the 1:2 divider working? I cannot get it to even boot using 1:2 divider no matter what voltages/PL etc I set. I think the divider is broken. I'm using BIOS 1307, I've tried the older BIOSES and the 1:2 divider is broken on those too.
I can boot at 650 - 700+ MHz on the ram on the 2:3 divider.
Here we are friends of mercy :D Tha same as you Cryptic : gat a lot of DDR2 to test on this board and nothin' over 650 at this time !! Yuc!!
Some GEIL PC8500 are comin', so I'll try to push them up over 700, even with the Commando which is with them ;)
A question about Crossfire please :
Gat a 4870 and a 4850, so want to test Crossfire, but nothing happen when I enable it in the CCC
Is it real that I should put the 4870 on the second slot, plug the screen there and put the second GPU on the first slot ??
Something to change in the bios too : PEG/PCI or PCI/PEG ??
Don't know how to do and even thought gat to change the way of installing my rads to one or other configuration...
That's why I'm asking cus' I don't want to waste any time whith this rads installation :D
EDIT : So it was that :D to get the CrossX I must put the 4870 in the second slot and the 4850 in the first (we should know that ;))
That's nice !!! Tryin' to bench 3D harder now !! @3,6 2k more for 3DM05 & even better at 06 ^^
Sorry I can't help you with the crossfire issue.
About the divider problem, have you ever got the board to boot/run with the 1:2 divider?
I have got 666 MHz on the 2:3 divider, but nothing I do will get the board to boot with 1:2.
this is really annoying ...Quote:

Even if I increase vdimm to 2.33v, it does nothing for stability at 666 MHz. I have tried altering NB DDR Ref voltage & DDR2 Channel A/B Ref Voltage up to +150mv & -100mv with no differences observed in stability at max bootable speed (666 MHz) and no increase in max bootable speed.
I think there should be a ram driving strength setting to assist stabilize high ram clocks. I think the option 'ram OC charger' is a drive strength setting (but it can only be enabled or disabled, which is too coarse & perhaps enabled is not strong enough), as I cannot load windows at more than 605 MHz with it disabled. This has never been confirmed by anyone though, it's just my personal speculation.
I have finally gotten my rig stable @ 4ghz! Vcore @1.352 mem 400mhz strap @ 942 mghz.
Q9550 2.83 ghz @ 4.02 ghz
4 x 1GB Patriot DDR2 1200
All voltages on auto except Vcore and mem. meme is set to 2.0 volts. Loadline enabled and all spread spectrums disabled. Speed stepping enabled. 18888 marks on 3dmark 2006 and 12999 GPU score on 3D mark vantage. Intel burn test stable with 100 passes. Prime 95 stable 8 hours. I think its good to go.
Throwing all the games I have at it now it now to make sure it is reliable.

Just quick question - what are acceptable temperatures for SB NB and Power. In stress I am heating around 46 on all (all VOLT settings on lowest possible in bios ATM)- and I got this damn MB sensor which shows 55 - 60 for most of time even in BIOS right after the start first boot of PC. I wrote to ASUS support but they do not know where MB is ... but they are checking it for me with engineers. I got few days left to return MF2 and get refund hope that ASUS will make it before that day because otherwise I will return in just in case.
And also what are acceptable temperatures for q9550 (e0) in stress for 24/7.
I am currently at 3.8 but hitting 61C in P95 at 1.21vcore ... it looks to me like there is something wrong with my temps :down:.
I lapped CPU and HSF and no changes. I will reseat HSF today but it does not look good.

I have tried many vcores and with this cpu it seems that the temperature doesn't increase as much from the voltage as 65nm CPUs.
Also we have to remember there is no way we are going to run our computer with 100% stress all the time. So doing that just tells us that chances are if it is under heavy load for a long time, it will be fine.
I encode video play games download and listen to music at the same time and my temp never breaks 50 c.

Hey Rocks,
What is your CPU ViD?
Well I would not mind 60 - 70'C with 1.35v and 4ghz but from 1.2v and 3.8ghz to 4ghz it is still long way to go :) and I am already on 60 in P95 stress.
on 2.8ghz I hit 60 with IBT - today will come MX2 so I will reseat TRUE with MX2 instead AS5 and will see - maybe contact is bad.
I can always lap this CPU to death :D
Cheers
According to core temp my CPU VID is 1.175v. I think I got a nice chip. It is the E0 revision. Yeah it seems that the voltage must increase quite a bit to get 4 ghz stable but I cant tell you this I have only seen 60 c when stress testing. The max temp I see when running full load games and music and encoding...etc is 50. No kidding.

mine was about 31-32c nb before,after reseating it stays about 30c.im on 1307 its the one they shipped it with. really hard to get 500 fsb, i can run orthos for about 1 hr @499fsb but as soon as i try 500,it gets stuck at det ram during boot. same with 510 or 533.ive tried raising all the various volts but no go .im thinking it the ram vdimm.ive gone all the way up to 2.4 in bios but that seems excessive.any help would be appreciated.thanks
Nice work Radaja. Are you setting the correct PL eg: 10 then trying to get 500+ FSB? Your ram should easily do 650 MHz stable, and your board should do up to 534 FSB stable at ~1.37 vNB with ram 1:1. Try using PL10 and setting ram 1:1 then trying to get over 500 FSB.
I've noticed my GKX kits don't like a lot of voltage when used with my Maximus II Formula which seems to be limiting my ability to clock them higher than 625MHz.
Here are my results so far. I would still like to decrease my CPU voltage but it seems that if I do it becomes unstable. Any advice would be great.

Odd, my CS GKX kits do 660 MHz on <2.3v. Perhaps its another setting not quite right, or maybe your kits clock differently.Quote:

@cryptik, i tried 1/1pl10 it would boot into windows but then it crashes, but i wanna get 1200 5/6 .are you setting 2.3 in bios?i cant remember but didnt this board overvolt ram like the p5q deluxe (0.8)?at 5/6 i tried pl9 but no go. its wierd cause i can boot at 498 fsb1196 pl8 src/dt enabled ct stronger at 2.18vdimm but as soon as i try 1200/500fsb no boot.
I have no problem setting 500 FSB & Ram 600MHz (5:6), took 2.17 vdimm to stabilize the ram with my TeamGroups haven't tested what my CellShocks need. I think this board is pretty much spot on with the vdimm, I measure within 0.01v from what software reads with a DMM.
You may need ~1.35 - 1.40 vNB to get it totally stable at 500FSB with the 5:6 divider, I was totally stable at 534 FSB 1:1 with 1.37 vNB and I could possibly have reduced it a little more but I didn't test.
thanks cryptik ill keep trying,soon im gonna give the muskin 2x1 pc 8000redlines a go.
Ok I've gotten the Vcore down to 1.35 at boot (1.36 under full load) by setting the GTL volts, but I still have CPU PLL at 1.667. What is a standard max for the PLL? Is this safe?Quote:

Standard max for vPLL is 1.575v, if you can reduce it to that or lower it would be better.
Anybody who did reseted cooling on MF2 and notice any changes for MB temperature sensor?
I have, and I noticed no difference at all concerning the motherboard temperature. Did asus ever get back to you concerning the MB temp sensor location?
Awesome man, I took it down to 1.575 and still stable...this board rocks. I had it on auto before. For some reason the BIOS loves to set the PLL high.Quote:

Idle temps @ 36 C on all 4 cores...fully stressed in prime 95 60-65 c. I think I found my sweet spot finally...
Thanks man,

They did get back to me and guy said he would need to contact engineer and will let me know when he will know more :) - yesterday after 4 or 5 days of waiting I wrote him a reminder - so far no answer.Quote:

I got still few day left with full refund without giving a reason :) so I am giving chance asus support.

Any body with A3 rev. of P45 on MF2?
Bios 1702 is on the FTP.

I'm mid test so cannot flash and see if Multi is again fixed over 1602 POS.
It will be Friday before I can Flash to this.

My week 22 does 4GHZ @ 1.054v on a Striker Extreme but this Mobo needs more voltage, not found MIN yet as I'm still testing FSB but it will be higher than 1.054v.Quote:

Pull-ins are still NOT WORKING, maybe Asus you could remove the option if your not going to make it function.
Asus are IDIOTS, the Multi is still Stuck. :mad:
Perhaps Asus has let first year Engineering students take a wack at bios coding....nah even a first year student could do better.
Must be the tech support guy's coding bios
Well yeah Grn, you've never heard "For the runaround, please hold" on the tech support recording???
I guess its all about I7 then??? Typical ASUS "lack of" support.....:shakes:
Oh hell yes I have, I'm playing the RMA game now with my Maximus X38 for the second time around.Quote:

So we have to stay wit this 1307 ? aint' it ?Twice ? Unbearable for such high end mobo I think...FůŁµ them all !!
For the moment I hit 24k & 17k respectively on 3DM05 & 06 : just in TurboMode (@3,6) with a CF 4870 512mb +4850 1gb (@stock)
Now let's see what it gives @4,5 with GPU frequencies increased ;)
**EDIT - lol sorry about that rant after I was explaining some issues I left myself logged in at my mates place and he decided to write a whinge for me using my account :slap:
I have not tested 1702 yet but if it still has unresolved issues I wont bother. I look forward to a BIOS that has a working multiplier and working pull-ins, along with a couple of extra options ;)
Got word that the new 1801 BIOS doesn't have that "multi bug" anymore!
1702 is still beta, so stay at 1307 guys.

1. Add "Intel(R) C-STATE tech" item
2. Revise CPU Speed when "Ai Overclock Tuner" is "Auto"
Could you provide us with more information about that? Only in 3DMark? Only in cverclocked mode? A test at stock/oc settings (but manually set, no auto crap) with both bios version would be great!Quote:

power = mosfet temp which is the CPU VRM. They are around the CPU socket.
I installed my LCS. Now without CPU Cooler my POWER reaches 45-46 degrees under Linpack, coz nothing blow that around CPU socket area. Is this temp dangerous?
I use one of the little Asus fans on the left Mosfet block along with my watercooling. I also use the Swiftech MCW-NBMAX WB for the heatpipe assy.Quote:

I have the problem. Before LCS I had TT Big Typhun which blew that around CPU socket area. I had the folowing max temps: SB 45, NB 50, POWER 36.
After installing LCS I became totally unstable: Linpack, MemTest 3,8, Prime95 gave me errors. Max temps are: SB 51, NB 56, POWER 45. I don`t think +6 degrees to SB and NB make my system unstable. But what about +9 degrees of POWER ? Even IntelBurnTest gives me errors.
To check this, I put fan over motherboard. And now i`m stable. But i don`t want to use additional fan .
So, what do I need? Swiftech MCW-NBMAX or waterblock on top mosfet? or both?
It seems if you have the temperature of POWER 44-45 degrees or more, then you become unstable.

It could be the NB temps, apparently P45's begin to act weird over around 50*C, but I have not confirmed this. I have been benching at ~1.49 vNB with NB temps of around 56*C, but the overclock was only bench stable anyway. I have hit 53*C on a hot day running memtest and it was fine.Quote:
