Oh, ok then. Will go shop on this week. Hope, my temps will be ok.
Is anyone running a E8600 on this board yet, just pickup the board and E8600 with the new E0 stepping :up:
I got one yesterday and am still testing. Stable at 440*10 @ 1.26v
450*10 appears stable @ 1.32 but temps are ranging around 70c.
What BIOS are you running?Quote:

Would like to know your seetings for ( Stable at 440*10 @ 1.26v)
Bios 0901
All settings other than Vcore and ram temp (2.15 for dominators) are at auto. I would like suggestions for other settings particularly to get to a lower than 1.31 vCore for 4500.
Thanks genec57,Quote:

Also did you tighten your heat-sink screws under the board, I have read here that the NB runs hot because the contact is not good.
I just tighten mine just in case.
As I recall the board came with the 0701 bios. I had resume from sleep issues with the 0801 so I flashed the 0901 and am quite happy with it .Quote:

Im getting this board soon. I just saw the washer mod on the NB. Do I also have to add washers to the SB? And when the washers are already on do i have to really tighten the screws? Sorry, just making sure :D
Thanks in advance!
I have run the E8600 only on the 0901 bios. I updated while I was still running the E8500 and have seen no reason to revert.Quote:

Alright, will do. Thanks dude! :up:Quote:

Just to let you know there was something wrong with that set up. The new ones work great together. Thanks. :cool:Quote:

The problem is exactly on either board or BIOS.
Look at these links, reviewers had the exact same problem:
http://www.techspot.com/review/105-a...ula/page9.html
http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/...d.php?t=194444
Please help me
My config:
Asus Maximus II Formula
Intel E8500
OCZ Reaper 2x2gb 1066mhz
Sapphire Ati HD4870
WD 300gb Velociraptor
Silverstone OP1000
I had a similar problem with this board and an overclocked E8500. It would pass stress testing and then, with no warning, crash while doing simple things like browsing with Firefox with or without bluescreen. Even though it had passed stress it seemed to want more vCore which seemed to help. Since I have upgraded to the E8600 and do not have that problem at all.
I don't really think the issue is chip related. More likely, it is bios/chip related.
You might try the 0901 bios if you haven't already.
A second thought - have you run memtest86 on your ram chips? Also, try imcreasing the voltage on your ram a notch or two.
My present challenge is really crazy temps. Overclocking the E8600 to 4.5 I am getting temps in the mid to high 70s though my vCore is only around 1.35. Everything on the board is barely warm to the touch so I am thinking screwy sensors.
I have bios 0901. I tried all published bioses.
I tried two different rams(ocz and muskin at default speeds). and no solution.
In Turkey we dont have a RMA process that you have.
I can only return it incase it is broken. So i have to try to fix it :confused:
I'm having a strange problem with this board.
Approximately 25% of the time that I boot up my system the OS hard drive doesn't boot.
There's no LED activity.
I have to turn off my PSU and then turn it back on, then the hard drive boot's up.
I have checked the cables, looked at the SMART values with Speedfan, HD Tune they show the drive as fine.
I also have a fan on the drive, so i don't think it could be heat.
I'm using bios 802, could a bios update to 901 possible fix it.
Anyone have this experience, or a possible solution?
Sounds like a possibly failing hard drive to me.
sounds like a failing hard drive to me too..you said that you checked your cables ?? have you tryed booting with a nother sata cable?? if you already have not tryed that, give it a go.Quote:

I guess time will tell if it was the cable or not.
Do you think it's possible the sata controller?
what kind of hd do you have? this is common with the WD6400AAKS.
Seagate 7200-10 250gb sataQuote:
