My old P5B-D even can't do 430FSB@4:5 so I let it go :DQuote:

thats the board i was waiting for
Crucial 6400 @ 1280mhz :D

Kenstfield @ 480FSB

Do you have any other mods on that mobo or only vdroop mod?
regards
i think the only mod needed is the vdroop (vcore @ 1.8v ,vnb @ 2.0v and vddr @ 3.2v+ is enough :) )Quote:

So I think my chipset hadn't degraded (as I said on previous page), but the new beta BIOS is setting subtimings 4-35-10-10-10-11 (the first one is important), even if @ BIOS I set 5-35-10-10-10-11 (according to MemSet) and this is causing instability, 1,300V @ NB to get FSB 400 stable is working fine for me ATM.
Veri Nice score :)
Is 2:3 really is a good divider for ~650 @ cas5 with this board? Mine seems to have stability problem running it at those speed. I know my ram can do 650 @ cas5 with the p5b-d and 680i. Feels like it's the board that's holding it back.
These are nice results. What is your core voltage?Quote:

But on this V my CPU had done 16M (32M probably it would too) @ 4080MHz on P5B-Dlx (and CPU wall ~510 FSB so nothing more to improve in frequency, voltage is just enough for this).Quote:

BTW, I have a question related too replacing stock cooling. I'm curious to know if I must put something on MOSFETs, on which the heatsink was (the one with the optional "WC or passive cooling" fan), or can I just ignore this? I think that on the other side of the LGA are similar MOSFETs not cooled in any way. And I saw that some users with custom cooling had cooled these things, but is it really necessery?
And a little update, same hardware settings as before:

1.7v on standard cooling? I wouldn't expect that chip to last very long, no?
No, no, of course not! :)
Mobo cooling is stock ATM (NB temperature on 2,025V is about 10-12 degrees lower than @ 1,25V with only the Asus fan with "normal" ambient temp), CPU cooled by Scythe Infinity (+ Winter Cooling when benching) and the temperature is pretty low even on this V ;).
24/7 3,2GHz @ 1,3125V (under load real ~1,26V), ~46°C under Orthos.
There is no divider 4:3 or 3:2 ? In case i wanna max out my CPU not Mem
I saw only 1:1 , 2:3 , 3:4 , 4:5 ect ....
1:1 is minimi
ok , thx. My first time on Intel wagon :DQuote:

I tested 6 CPUs (X6800, E6600 & E6400) and all cpus hang @ 533FSB :(
Definitely a board specific issue Chris, mine topped out at 550 (straight boot) on the 0601 shipping bios. I know you've probably tried all the logical steps to get higher, so I'm at a loss as to what to suggest. :confused:

argh ok, i think i order a second commando. I hope it do more :D
edit: can you boot with 550FSB?
Yes mate, straight into windows, didn't try clockgening from there, but I'm sure it can go further.
i can boot @565 & bench 8x589 (e6600) on my p5b dlx...
If I could get my S3 to push my e6300 that high I wouldn't even think about looking for a new board. ANY board that can get me that high I will buy. I'm pretty sure that my board is the limiting factor that is keeping me from getting higher than 3700mhz (528mhz fsb). It'll boot at 532mhz, but won't go into windows. I could try to clockgen higher, but I think that is kinda "cheating". I just want a board that will let me see what my ram can really do.:rolleyes:Quote:

One small thing I've noticed is that the Everest memory performance on the Commando is quite a bit slower at the same speed and timings. I have 2GB of the G.Skill-6400. I'm still playing around with the subtimings, but has anyone else noticed the speeds to be a bit slow? I'd like to run ddr2-900 and 4-4-4-12 (my Quad ran my e6400 at 8x450 all day at) but I'm not sure what to set everything else at to get similar speeds. I've got things at 4-4-4-12-5-30-10-10-10-11 right now. So any suggestions would be appreciated, or any advice on other settings that might help such as spread spectrum (which I usually disable) or especially static read control.
