Also, I was wondering after reading about that lower voltage chip. Lets say I was happy with this overclock but I wanted to lower cpu temps. Is the cpu voltage the only significant factor in cpu temperature? And if so, should I try reducing cpu voltage till I encounter problems? Based on experience what does too low a processor voltage effect --> errors, boot, loading op sys. ?
Thanks
Has anyone used a Thermalright HR-05-SLI IFX Chipset Cooler on this board? After thinking about my options I think I will buy another chipset cooler rather than cutting the stock one, those things are $50 bucks lol.
I can say the idle temps on my e8400 jumped about 15-20C. When setting vcore at 1.35v in the bios I now get 1.376 instead of 1.36. I had to lower it to 1.33. NB set at 1.5v gets 1.45, seems about the same. I'll have to play with it some, but so far, not that impressed.Quote:

i have ordered 45-nm 2-cored xeon 3110, how much voltage will be safe for him?
i hope to use 550+ fsb.

What I'm having problems with is one of my ram modules. I think its dying. It use to boot with stock voltage in the bios, but wont anymore. I know that Crucial has replace they chips with new ones. Is anyone still selling the old revision or is there other modules using the same chips that I can buy. Also, irrc, people have been getting good luck with G-Skill 2x2 sticks. What chips do they use?
Yes tryed too , this bios doesnt have the 0.5 and + i got 10 degres more on the cpu.Quote:

Thanks, I'll look them up and order a set. Not sure why this stick is dying, I only gave them extra volts for a short period and have a fan blowing on them, but I guess they're prone to this.Quote:

Could you please report your bios settings for such levels of FSB?
I've been beating my head on the wall for the last two days, my board's stable at 470FSB but anything more won't pass more than 1-2 minutes OCCT.
My goal would be 490-495, nothing special, i'd just like to run my E8400 at the speed its capable of.
I've tryed almost everything: vNB up to 1.76, every step of VTT from 1.1 to 1.6 (using correct GTL settings), clockgen voltage up to 3.75v, vSB/vPLL up to 2v, vCORE up to 1.490, 2:3/5:6/1:1 dividers, Performance Level from 8 to 14, tRFC up to 56, bios 29/01 and 14/03...no gains in stability.
It seems to me it's like NB straps are not working. I can't believe there's no change with any divider.
Chipset and system temperatures never get higher than 40°C even at 1.7+ vNB (it's watercooled)Should I give a try to older bioses, like 1/11 or 11/28 (initial release bios, I didn't have problems with NB voltage so if it supports wolfdales i might try it aswell)?
I'd be grateful if anyone would give me some hints about wolfdales and high FSBs, my NB's surely not the highest bin but I'm not looking for crazy high frequencies, just stability under 500MHz :(
PS: my SuperTalent ProMOS are rock solid @ 1200MHz 5-5-4-11 2.17v PL 5 tRFC 36 :D

There is an issue with woldale and this board for high fsb i believe.
I can't be stable more than 1 mn to occt with 500x6.
i saw a guy with 510 fsb with wofdale and this board but maybe he is lucky or we are unlucky or we make something wrong but what wrong then ?
So guys, is this a good board to get, if i want to OC my q6600 to, say, 9x450 ? I'll be using cold cold water.
Just take the X48 BIOS chip out & put it in the x38 to see if it works.Quote:

I actually tried, as I stated before setting NB GTL at 67% VTT makes my system more stable while setting it at 67% of NB voltage does not (as I said, with 1.458v VTT& 1.72v vNB, if I set NB GTL to 100 i can boot into windows and run OCCT for 1-2 minutes, at 122 the OS doesn't even load).Quote:

Too bad the only reason why I've spent 240€ on this board back in december was looking forward to run high FSB on wolfdales :down:
And what amazing features do we get with a new bios we've been waiting for 2 months? A temperature adjustment and an high voltage warning! :ROTF:
Don't know about Wolfdales, but for 65nm Quads (or any Quad, really) this mobo kicks ass. I've been stable for 3 days of crunching now with my Q6600 at just over 4Ghz and it only needs 1,42V, no Vdroop whatsoever - and that's with GTLs still disbaled :)
Also the PWMs are incredibly cool, I am using the stock passive heatsink now w/o any fan blowing onto it and PWM temp is like 60C or something - any other mobo would have burned and died by now (like my two IX38 did, and they were watercooled...)
4x1GB memspeed is also very nice, can run my D9GMH at 5-5-4-12 and 1080Mhz with only 2,03V :)
Only problem is, I can't get the 266 strap to work, but 450 is already too high for that I guess. Also can't boot at performance level set to 7 or below, but maybe that will be possible with some (a lot?) mem tuning - using lv8 for now.
well boys i flashed my board with x48 bios:D
its good so far

you guys flashing the x38 with the x48bios?? :)
I still have one major issue with the old X38 1/11 bios, everytime on 8x multi with my G0...bios doesnt always hold settings. Even if it is stable it sometimes just resets back ro default. Doesnt happen with 9x multi.
I think its only with certain multi and straps.
But its very annoying.
Hi all, I just got myself a Tracer PC8500 8FE5/single sided. Is it just me or the tracer/s doesnt perform well enough? anyone know what chip on it? is it still micron or else?
What really dissapoint me is I use the setting for Patriot SL at 900 CL4-4-4-12, the other auto but when i plug tracer it stuck at C1. Is there something too tight by leaving it at auto or the tracer cant handle that timing?
Edit :
btw, it's a cheap patriot PC5300. So I guess tracer supposed to be able handling that timing .
You got the 'new' Ballistix kit (single sided) and they are $hit for this board...Quote:

I would try 5-5-5-5-15 for starters in your kit. Bump NB a little to 1.4-1.455 also helps.

One more word about memory performance... After "transforming" Windows XP from LanParty P35 to X38 setup without reinstall, memory performance looks like this... I think that system reinstall might help (a lot)... Although I do not care for every MB/s - try to focus on Voltages optimisation :up:

My Intel Xeon X3350 is coming tomorrow, has anyone had experience with this chip and this board???
at high fsb i get noticable difference in x48 bios

its becouse windows dosnt read the multi only the fsb, u dont need to instal for that
Look at Orthos on the picture I've given above - it also shows 4750MHz... cause it calculates it using actual FSB and default multi... although my CPU-Z shows correct MHz.Quote:

BTW I also need system reinstall - I'd like to do that using official SP3 for XP.... so I'm still w8ing...
cant seem to get into windows though using normal mode. ima try a re-install as i think i could do with it anyway
Ok, I can not get anything more than 3.6GHZ out of this E3110..... No clue why
Essentially, I can boot up no problems at 500FSB and 7X multi, but once i go to give my CPU some volts and try to get 8 or 9X multi's, the system will not even power on or post, and I need to reset the Cmos. Such a pain in the arse. I have tried tons of combinations:
400 x 9 works fine, 3.6GHZ stock voltage
425 x 9 nothing, no boot, no post
425 x 8 works great, no problem
450 x 8 once again, no problems, stock volts.
500 x 8 Nope, nada again.
500 x 7 Works perfect, stock volts (well nb V is up there at 1.59)
I have tried anywhere from 1.3-1.45V to get 4GHZ but no luck. I would at least expect to get a POST but I can't. When I hit the power button, the lights come on for half a second then it shuts off. So I hit the power button again, same thing over and over again.
Specs are below, I am using the latest BIOS, from 1/11 08 and have heard of no one yet with this problem, went through tons of pages here....UGH

It's an Ultra X3 1000W. Has been nothing but perfect for me. 3.6GHZ Q6600 no prob, and 2GTXs at one point too.
I just installed my Thermalright HR-05-SLI IFX and it is working like a champ, priming away at 44* as I type this and thats passive!!!
I did have to move my GTX into the second 16X slot because the chipset cooler is blocking the first 16X slot which kinds sucks but I have no plans to go Crossfire any time soon so this will work fine.
On a side note as it has been stated the stock NB cooler pretty much sucks, when I pulled it off I had one small contact area about the size of a dime, even with such a small contact area the chipset never got above 55* but still, if you havent checked how well it is seating I highly suggest doing so.
Yeah, i already did that...5-5-5-15, even PL 8 & TRRD 4 in case if something too tight at auto, like P35 LT with GMH I must set TRRD at 4Quote:

Thanks for any replys and dont burn me at the stake if i made a stupid mistake :D
Looks ok to me. If you can get a Q9450, you won't need to stop at 3Ghz btw - it will do 3,6 with stock volts no sweat :)
Problem is high FSB rather than high mhz with these 45nm chips...
just bought another 2x2gb kit of g.skill PC8000 :D ... now i have 8gb :eek:
Sweet, let us know how they're doing on the mobo. 8GB of ram's gotten really cheap... 8GB of these Gskills would cost me only 160€ :D

Am looking to get this board soon after being no so impressed getting my 780I mobo!
Can the Thermalright 120EX be mounted vertically or has to be mounted horizontally?
If problem is the NB cooler being to wide then perhaps this would work to let me fit Thermalright 120EX vertically?

it can be mounted either way ... i know as i have that cooler on that boardQuote:

You shouldn't have any trouble running the Xeon. As fas as which one will overclock better, I'm sure its mostly just luck of the draw. I picked up the Xeon because its the only one I could find in stock. It was also cheaper than the Q9450s I saw on preorder. Several have ordered the Xeon so we should know something soon. Mine will be here in a couple of days.Quote:

4ghz is a mighty goal, IMHO. Not only must you have an exceptional Q6600 to reach this - also exceptional Cooling. Mine doesnt even go 3600, and i am sitting at this for months. I would just go lower for now and see hwo it behaves, eg. 3600, 3650, 3700..then you get an idea how reasonable it would be to shoot for 4ghz.
no problem ;) i was running 333/667 and 333/400Quote:

I think im going to have to settle on 3.8ghz - i can seem to get it stable and useable on that. (by stable i mean a 30 min OCCT test while ill run for longer)
the weird thing is that @ 9.5x400 i've got slower memory & L1 Cache than the pic below but ive got higher L2 cache speed?
i'm just going to try to concentrate on tightening the timings and leave it at that ;)Quote:
