I'd be happy to redo the heatpipe. I've redone the heatpipe on a motherboard before and it wasn't too bad. If it would see even a decent drop in temperatures I'd be no problem for me.Quote:

as the evga board is reference will the XFX 780i be able to use the same bios as it's also reference???
Say I am running a 450 FSB, I am looking to run my ram linked 3:2 at 1200Mhz.
I am looking at these (Model PDC22G9600ELK) Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB Kit (2 x 1GB) PC2-9600 1200MHz PC2-9600 DDR2 Dual Channel Kit Memory, Timing 5-5-5-12
Will this 780i board be okay to run the ram at 2.3v?
How good is this ram?
hi every one just got my new rig boot and everything is installed(vista) and ive just tryed oc my q6600 go at 3ghz it boot but i cant finish my 3dmark and occt failed after 2mins so iver puted my voltage higuer(1.35)it was a 1.20 on auto and puted my 4gb g.skill 8000 at 1000mhz whit 2.1v and i still cant get it stable.....:( any advisse? by the way all other voltage are on auto and i changed nothing. cpu idle at 30 full load 67 and my nb at 50 is that normal?
Thanks sorry for my english im french:p:
Please could someone with this mobo, tell me how to do the Pencil mod to stableize Vcore on load?
What do you think you will gain in real time performance ? if you do benchmarks yes then you will notice an improvement in scores going from 1000 to 1200mhz ram... daily basis hardly worthwhile mate... have you tried if ya ballistix don't run 1200mhz 5-5-5-18 at 2.35 volts ? Test them and see if it is noticeable to you ... Hardly think so, but this is still Extremesystems isn't it...Quote:

Then thats just stupid unless you're on LN2, good water or vapo.
Iam pretty sure just about everyone here will disagree with you...And Iam also pretty sure your the only one that has said its a waste to do..There is pretty much no risk at all in doing it...If you can build your own computer you should beable to do this mod without issuesQuote:

There is really no overclock benefit. I've done the mod. If you have proof there is i'd like to see it. I think vdroop is a power saving feature. Its design was meant to keep the cpu cooler. And there is risk.Quote:

So can someone please explain how to do this Pencil mod exactly?
Got my board today, got 4GB working in vista X64 nicely now :D
Also when putting board together slapped on an 6CM fan screwed into unit sucking air out the NB :up:

Just shade in the area where it says 100k VR with a #2 pencil
Hi guys, before pencil mod i was having to bios set 1.4815V to get 1.4V loaded real!
Now i set 1.4V bios... it gives 1.392 idle then 1.400 load :D
That same 1.4V did me 450x8 stable 24/7 on my X38 mobo! So let the OCing begin!
@ GAR your 3.6GHZ Q6600 clock is 400x9 or 450x8?
Whats your full bios setting used to obtain said above clock?
Last question... in first post said to raise NB volts to 1.5V+ if using 4GB Ram which i am... but which value in bios reffers directly to the NB??....SPP??
:shrug:
Hello,
someone can help me in ocking my xFx 780i?
It's mu first nForce board... so I don't know very well how to move in the board bios.
Specially:
1)what's the meaning of HT (5x, 4x etc.)? On Intel P35\X38 there aren't this voices.
2)I need to increase QDR instead of FSB like P35\X38... right?
I need to go on 3600Mhz (400x9) for @ daily use with my E8400...
I've done pencil v-mod on the board, and it's running fine with no v-droop... I've also changed thermal grease on the spp and mcp using zalman stg-01.
Please help me. Thanks
run QDR 1600 and ram at 800 or 1066Mhz, might need a small increase in chipset voltages for the Nb and a bit more Vcore for the CPU , estimating around 1.2Vcore if you got a nice CPU
Just adjust CPU Vcore , FSB QDR and Ram speed and voltage, leave rest on auto for the voltages, should work out of the box...
There's no need to mess with HT, or follow this guys stuff, covers it all ::

Hey....im using 400x9, spp is the NB which should be set to 1.5v........Quote:

How high are your guys's an girl's clocks going on Quads with the 9x multiplier?
Im stuck at 4.1 bench an 4.2 windows, nothing more no matter what. 3 of my Q6600's all stop there. My E8400 Benches 4.75 an only does Windows at 4.8.. So can anyone do higher with the 9 multipler with them Q's. Cause I want to know if its me or if thats the max for quads on the Nvidia chipset without going QX.
Nvidia an Intel are throwing blows an its coming out of SLI'ers pockets :mad:
Edit...Last comment was uncalled for... Deleted...
Well... what exactly are all your other settings? What's disabled and what's enabled.Quote:

Also run memtest to make sure it's not your memory causing the failed overclock or benchmark.
Prolly more CPU/Mobo limited there mate, many quads stop at 470ish FSB... same with my 2 Qx CPU's... luckily I can change the multiplier on those... and 4.1Ghz benchable on a Q6600 is prety nice unless you use extreme cooling...Quote:

Very satisfied by this board... now I'm waiting to put a second 8800gts g92 to test SLI configuration. :D
Good one mate, just keep a sharp eye on them temps... maybe try with a bit lower Vcore... I know the board droops a lot but my friends E8400 does 3.6ghz at 1.16 volts and 4ghz on 1.26v
