Ohwel..
I think I'll send my Special Edition board in because one of the HDD LED Pins broke off. With a BIT of good luck I'll get a new board, see if it does better or if I'm just a total nub.
Nothing above 4GHz is stable for me. Altough the temps are more than fine (25 idle, 45 load).
I don't think I can beat your 4Ghz and 1.320v on that C1 chip, but here is 4.1Ghz on 1.384v on my C1. Even more impressive, my G.Skills passed 32M pi at 1160mhz! :eek:Quote:

That would be an interesting little comparison of benchies, Zucker2k
Can somebody tell me if this memory is a good overclocker/compatible with the P5E moded to RF?

Never mind, crap timings!!!
Damn thats a sweet looking board in your avatar,Quote:

up your NB volts to say 1.47-1.49 and retest, what are you running on primeQuote:

Both large FFT's and Blend fail after a few seconds, upping NB voltage to 1.49 didn't help.
I've also tried the following setup, which turned out to be quite stable for now.

if its passing small FFT's and not passing blend then its your ram, try runnng memtest with your FSB set back to 471 and see if it fails.
If so try adjusting clock skew to advanced 350ps, and your NB volts might require 1.51-1.53
Hi,
I'm trying to get my HyperX ram to work with stock settings and I'd be grateful if you guys could take a look. I cant get past around 10 mins in the stability test in Everest.
E6850 at 3000 MHz (9X333)
Maximus Formula Bios 1201
2 sets of Kingston KHX8500D2/1GN (4 GB total in 1 GB sticks) (5-5-5-15 2.2v)
Below are the settings I have. The DRAM voltage is 2.14 because in Everest this gives me 2.24v
Which settings should I work with and should I be using Everest to test for stability or Memtest86+ or something else?
cheers,
Charlie

May i ask what the best oc bios is for the maximus formula, cuz im still using 0602.
Forgot some, does this board also support 45 nm?
601 from RampageQuote:

Didn't someone edit 0308 for E0 support?
I thought I read that somewhere...
I dont recall, I thought I needed 401 for my E8600.
You guys aware of BFG's offer to upgrade older AGP cards to PCI-E 9600GT or higher
I just got my old 6800 256mb upgraded to a 9600GT OC 512mb for teh low cost of shipping.
Could have got a 9800GT OC 512 for 50 bucks but then that would not be free
Well, bios 601 gives me a burst in OC... even more stable then 408 and 410, about the same as 308 but newer...Quote:

thanx for the reply guys
Following settings result in blue screen of SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION / 0x00000000003B While running Prime95, OCCT, and Warhammer online. OCCT on mix and P95 on blend. Took about 50-60min before it blue-screened. I am posting on these settings as we speak.

Ok it blue-screened a little after that.
Any idea's?

But as your running Geforce its harder to say does it have something to do whit it.
ram, or even Vista corruption who knows.
Yeah, I haven't changed from 308 either. Found it gives the best performance RAM-wise......Quote:

I've got 8gb of RAM and I'm not sure if it's my board or the chip I got that's holding my OC back, but I'm hittign a wall at 3.7 (410fsb) right now. No matter what I do, I can barely get windows to boot over 410 and it hangs in the first minute if I do get in.Quote:
