3.107 Uguru version should be the only version to use...it is the latest version that works in Vista 64...but...to close it, you have to use the task manager (under 'Applications' tab) in vista 64...32 bit OS, it will close out normally.Quote:

Tried to update to the latest version and now it says uGuru must close. Same on every reboot. Deleted it all and reinstalled, same result. Repeated deleting, download and installation, same result....:shrug:Quote:

I'll have to give it a try...Quote:

it's a great dependable board... It runs non stop 100% folding on 2 smp clients for about 4000ppd, and records about 30hrs of tv a week on a media center schedule. no intervention from me except to do what I want as a user everyday. the only time I really reboot anymore is for updates or power failures..
but maybe I'll check out the new uguru for grins..
Oh, OK!...that makes more sense...now that you explained it, i see why you are not toying with Uguru...Uguru is a good one to tweak that final voltage to make it stable...sounds like you already have a VERY stable system!
did you do a clean uninstall and then reboot prior to upgrading?Quote:

What's the lowest you can set your vcore to? I've only tried the 17 beta with this chip but can't set it any lower than 1.2375v. The VID's 1.1250v according to Core Temp.
uninstall Uguru even deleting the folder...shut the computer down and now clear the CMOS with battery out for about 5 minutes...after doing that, re-enter the bios and load "optimized default" settings; save!..go back into the bios and now set it up the way you want it.Quote:

Any feedback on what the best BIOS is to use?
Using 17b2 currently, but everyone keeps talking about 16b10...
Just curious if I should roll back to that beta or not?

I've got a X3350, i think the chip has more than my current 3.6 but anything past 450fsb starts getting really unstable. :( I need to play with it more next week.Quote:

Damn good thread. Ive read through a lot of it, but I may of missed some posts. What are most people pulling on a Q6700 on water? Im just waiting on my new ram.
Not sure an average Q6700 speed. However, if you're interested, there is a whole other thread by this same name at the abit forums (and it's 133 pages long). There is a lot to read, just like this one...but if you want to and if it helps, great!Quote:

Gonna try again today.
probably need to tweak the voltage more or relax the timings...maybe both.Quote:

Trying again with another 0.01v. If that falls over then I'll play with the NB voltage again. I've already had to up the NB to 1.52v for 3.8ghz.
I'm dreading to think what NB voltage I'll end up at when I'm trying it with 8gb installed.

CPU GTLREF plays a part in successful Prime 95Quote:

Gezz 2 weeks of reading!!! :shocked: keep up the good work ! :clap:
Now I can post my noob questions :P
Here's what I have done so far.
First step: can my cpu and my board can handle 500 fsb x 6 .... a simple increase to increase mch@1.37 done it.
Rock solid !!!10 hours sp2004 x 2 with large ffs. followed by a 10 hours mem test.
Second Step: I assumed that the only thing I had to do was to increase vcore and fsb at x9 multiplicator.
so far I can play and do my stuff at 446x9 =4014mghz vcore@1.4750 in bios 1.43 to 1.41 in cpuz under load. I fix my mem@1.20 to be around 1066 @ 2.2250v to 2.2 under load.
**edit**cpuvtt@1.20 since I read it can help in Oc but in my case no real impact****
but now I cant get the same stability in one of the sp2004... after < 2 hours one of the sp2004 (oftenly the cpu0) stop working.
Do you know what should I increase to get a little bit more stability on sp2004? maybe more vcore...
yeah yeah I KNOW sp2004 means nothing but to me it does.:yepp:
btw I know my english is not perfect. :(
My first instinct would be more vtt.Quote:

Be careful...some have reported Wolfdales degrading after high voltage runs. Formerly stable levels are suddenly no longer sustainable.:down:Quote:
