raju: yes they are OFF and 340mhz is the right speed so dunno what's up with core temp and orthos O_o and i can't boot from bios with over 320mhz with 6-9x multi..for example with 6x and let's say 350mhz i get 582x6 in bios...but with 320 i can get to windows and raise the clock in there. and with 320mhz they already say it's 399 so this is just so weird..
Hi Keiki,
I think you were right about there being some kind of multiplier bug in the bios, misreporting the actual speed to certain programs... Hopefully we'll see a fix for that too...

Raja
yea i hope they do fix this but one thing still bothers me and that is that previous owner of this board had it running @9x440 what seems to be max with this and he did test it with 8x400 and no problems like this BUT he used some 1.2beta and i didn't even test with it just flashed it to 1.2 from abit site >_< so no bug in beta and bug in official release?Quote:

oh yeah there was one thing i was going ask too and that is about those leds on this board, i mean i like little *bling* *bling* but i think abit over did it this time. what's everyone elses opinion?
I don't mind them actually, they're ok, i guess they're a nice addition..... Maybe everyone likes something different, but it looks quite nice in my case....

edit orthos has got to 5hours 42 mins so far at 3554mhz (395fsb), will post screenshots when it gets to 8 hours....
it also happens to me.Quote:

I'm also having problems with the 400Fsb barrier... :(
i've tried 8x400 @ 3-3-3-8 with 2.7Vdimm and 2vMch and it ran for 25 minutes, will let try to see if it does 8hours. but 9x400 no matter the Voltages and timings it always blows up after a couple of seconds...
I'm using the stuff in the sig. i even thought it has heat problems so i've used 2 fans on the ram and chipset (i was already using 1)... but still nothing.
Also i found that i can't do anything if the memory clock is higher than 1000 (with the 667 divisor)
HI Patuga,
you're findings are like mine. I'm 20 mins away from 8 hours at 395fsb on the 9 multi. I'll post that here when done.
What I will do is run 3d mark06 at this speed.
Then I shall go over 400fsb (where Othos blend test fails) and rund 3d mark 06 and games.
My cpu can do 3.825 stable on the Asus no probs, with my ram at 4-4-4-12 @ 4:5
The current bios revisions are only really good for the 1:1 divider on the Abit I'm afraid...
I want to see if I can find how much the stability is over 400 even though Orthos fails (I think there is a connection, even though it does not matter to all of us)..
I'm really impressed with the response I've got from you guys here, I did not expect so many people to come forwards with so much info, thanks to all.
All we need now is some screenshots for those that can go over 400fsb Orthos, so that we can see what hardware combinations are working better on the current bios revisions...

great thread and thanks for leading the discussion!Quote:

i'll be sure to follow along and post my results as soon as i can.
How's this multi of the CPU?......:D

WOW! :woot:
Very nice, Hipro.
Btw, how much VDimm?
DDR Maximizer,right?
many people seem to have a very wrong idea regarding theQuote:

for example, my cousin uses his
computer only to read email and browse the web. He has never run Orthos, doesn't even know what it is. But his E6600/P5B deluxe combo works
perfectly at 3.8 Ghz, so it is stable at 3.8 Ghz, and will as long as it doesn't crash, even if all he does is boot into windows and look at the wallpaper.
okay passed 8 hours 395fsb on Orthos blend,

will try higher for gaming and 3d marks, as Orthos blend is no go over 400fsb....

we have to remember that everyone has different demands from their pc, there is also a demand for orthos stabiltiy, it does not matter who's stability is best, that's personal. It's just that there is a group just like there is a superpi group, or a group that just reads emails. Therefore the testing cannot be regarded as obselete for everyone. We live and let live... Co-existence does not have to be painful, if you have tolerance. We are merley trying to experiment with every facet of the board, so that reviews can target more users daily needs too, there will never be a universally accepted format, but one has to have enough of an open mind to consider other testing means as valid if their use becomes justified to a community and if the test holds it's credibility in technical terms. Considering all of this there is no reason why Orthos should be considered any worse than anything else, it just satisfies a certain target audience....
I applaud Hi-pro's results, he's a friend of mine and I have been pestering him for mods to this board so that I may use it with the Maximiser (which I have too), that at least should prove I have an open mind....

hipro5: new bios? cause in cpu-z it says on date 9/28 :)
the date show it is is the new bios with upper multi unlock :banana:Quote:

/me wants it :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:
also, raju...
what voltages are you using?
Yes DDR Maximizer......Low Vdimm cuz of the low ram frequency.....Only 2.6Vdimm....At 2.70Vdimm those two 8000ULs can do 434MHz with the timmings you're seeing....;)Quote:

Voltages are a bit high cuz of the CPU.....:( 1.87VCore, 1.95VMCH (real), 2.6Vdimm and 1.7Vfsb/VCCA....

I had the Asus P5W64 for a couple of days but it reported cpu temps +30 deg so I darnt push it and rma'd.
Im now wondering how this abit board would cope with Oblivion, but im coming round to thinking ill never play it at my targeted 4Ghz even though my 6600 will do it easily.
lol i was asking the voltages raju was using to get 395fsb in his tests... but i guess in wouldn't hurt asking you the same... just to have a slight comparison point... if one can even compare to you.... voltage freak :p: :banana: /jk
Haven't tested it yet to be sure.....I may do it tomorrow though.....Quote:

here's something else pass at 420fsb 3d mark 06 using 1.61 vcore with ram timings on spd (1:1)....
