I can post w/ 1t cmd rate w/ 1:1 @ ddr 667 w/ 2x 1066 and 2x 1000 Crucail ballistix but its not stable and fails memtest rightaway, this was w/ pretty lose 5 5 5 15 timings @ 2.2V w/ the 0311 bios so w/out alot more volts or maybe even loser timings I doubt it will fly. this same memory works fine a 4 4 4 12 w/ 2.2V at DDR 1000 on the 2:3 raito.
I see that the 2T command curse on the P965 has been cured, that's very good news indeed.
When i raise the PCI-e MHZ the SATA drives are gone, anyway to get 125mhz on pci-e like the 680i????
Which ethernet port are you guys using? I assume it's better to use the Marvell since that one is listed as "PCI-e", and the other is just "PCI", but I haven't seen anything that tells you which one is the Marvell.
I got all the parts in now, I'll start cracking on it tomorrow morning. I've already noticed one thing I miss having, a power switch on the mobo, that sure made testing my current system a lot easier.
Why do you "want" to get there? Generally I've only used PCI-e frequency increases to get things back in whack, not for performance gains in gfx...I never saw any increase in benchmarks when running beyond 100mhz on my Evga or IN9 32X-MAX boards...Quote:

Funny thing is you can adjust all this stuff manually and they all still wigged out like something was taken away from them :DQuote:

never used 64bit OS so can't help ya there ... sorry
Q6600 @7x490FSB 1:1
OCZ PC2-9200 FlexXLC @490Mhz 4-4-4-9
Now I'm truly getting the hang of tweaking Asus P5K Deluxe with OCZ PC2-9200 FlexXLC memory. Below is probably one of the fastest single 32M runs at 1:1 for 7x490FSB 4-4-4-9 settings.
Note, Kentsfield B3 stepping cpus are clock for clock slower in single instance Super Pi benchmarks compared with Core 2 Duo dual core B2 stepping cpus.
Also, 0311 Official bios increased my Q6600 Kentsfield cpu's max FSB from 485FSB to 490FSB without needing to raise CPU PLL volts from 1.5v to 1.6v as I needed on 0307 beta bios. With 0311 official bios and my Q6600 I've managed to sometimes boot into memtest @7x500FSB but on exiting bios, it doesn't boot up and needs power reset to get back into bios. So still working at it but already an improvement over 0307 beta bios :)

i had the same problem on my x-fi after i installed sp2 @ xp64. But if i installed soundcard first there were no problem at all, i had to reinstall btw:/ so first install soundcard before sp2 that was my solution:)Quote:

Eva, thanks for posting those settings.
Running 8 gig at 475 FSB.
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=206249
Ran a pass of memtest and Priming blend now.
I'm getting insane CPU temps on this, I've remounted three times and still idling around 50-54C and loading in the low 70's. I have a scythe with 2x yate loon fans on it and it was cooling the chip awesome on my old setup. WTF is going on, I can't get past 3.6ghz because of the heat. Voltage is only 1.45v.
what are you using to read and compare temps on new and old setups? and what was the old setup ?
2x1GB OCZ PC2-9200 FlexXLC
CAS4 Performance
It seems testing OCZ PC2-9200 FlexXLC's CAS4 performance on Asus P5K Deluxe is about the same as on Asus P5B Deluxe, hitting a ceiling around 540Mhz 4-4-4x at 2.45v. But, the difference is that on Asus P5B Deluxe, it required very loose sub timings. On Asus P5K Deluxe it was totally different, I could run very very tight sub timings @540Mhz 4-4-4-9 2-25-2-2-8 at 2.45v and it really showed in the Everest Ultimate reported bandwidth and latency and also in single Super Pi 32M time for a quad core, Q6600 B3 cpu.

Memset for P35
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=92190&page=21
ooh thanks for the heads up :D
I hope whenI pick up my Q6600 in July, that I will be able to hit these clock speeds. 3.6 is very impressive.
8 Gig Mushkin 6400 (4-3-3 stuff) @ 475 FSB 1:1, 5-4-4-8, sub timings all auto.
RAM at stock 2.25 vDIMM (spent too much $$ to overvolt this stuff yet)
Transaction boost enabled with boost level 1. :up:
Appears 24/7 stable with orthos blend in Vista 64 and under memtest. So far. Still needs more testing
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=206505
vCore is 1.36 set in BIOS, 1.34 idle in Windows, 1.33/1.34 load in Windows.
Won't boot with CAS 4 no matter what I do. But hey, it's 8 gig of RAM, you can't have everything. Transaction boost helped. May get brave and up the volts a little to try for CAS 4 but I really don't see the point right now since I only care about what is stable, not benching for the sake of it.
8GB DDR2 :slobber: :D

Thanks to Asus P5K Deluxe and Crucial Ballistix 8500 memory, I've achieved my highest FSB ever to date with Q6600 B3 ES Kenstfield quad core cpu @502.7FSB :)

Not bad for an old Q6600 B3 ES that couldn't get more than 400-425FSB on Asus P5B Deluxe, limited at 350FSB on Asus 680i Striker, limited at 345FSB on Intel D975X Bad Axe 1, and 350FSB on DFI ICFX3200 at 9x and 400FSB at 7x or 8x.
Good stuff...:up: Both times I tried enabling transaction boost and went for +1 my machine hard locked and required cmos clear. Disabling is interesting and results in slacker latencies. Haven't had a chance to see how high I could go looser cuz I ran a few tests then wanted to see what would happen going the other way. Hardlock. No boot. Time for bed :) This is on my P5K by the way. I'll have to spend some quality time with the deluxe when I get back from vacation...Quote:

mmm, lovely memory results. Good to see things are tight again in the high fsb's. Good find too on 499 vs 500. I wonder if turning on transaction booster at 500 would result in same results at 499
Wish I could get Super Pi working right on Vista 64. :(
maybe your using too much vcore?Quote:

it works just fine for me.Quote:
