Hi oldguy!
Got an E6600 or 6700? You'll be fine...Quote:

Basically building a new rig in a MM U2-UFO, w/ water and what not so some stuff out of my current rig has to come out and i still have to do a little bit of prep work, but im hoping to have it running by tomorrow at the latest. Will post how it does (keep in mind i have no conroe/intel experience yet, so may take some tweaking time)
My best on the fini with E6600 was 423 using bios 913...1.625v and Freezone CPU cooler. You can get away with much less voltage depending on what you consider stable... :)Quote:

This may or may not be an interim board depending on how it does and how much rd600 costs. Main reason i got it was because it was cheap, the new bios is supposed to help things a lot, and im tired of waiting.
Realistically if its hitting decent numbers, i may just stick with it, so any pointers would be appreciated, if this is too far OT though then just ignore me :)
Just set up on my bench and something is DOA :(.
The power LED does not turn on (tested with dmm too) which according to the manual means a problem with ram or cpu (or mb itself).
I doubt it is the ram as I have 4 identical sticks and 4x1, 2x1, 1x1 (in every possible slot with each module) acts the same.
Is this board unable to recognize the xeon 3000 series out of the box? That is the only cause I can think of other than a doa cpu or mb.
-sfxs
Here's a link to my settings...DB entry...and yes, that was 1.625 on the CPU. Bios 913 (last official I believe). Haven't been able to go any higher with the November beta and haven't tried the 1201 beta...Quote:

Thanks bud...that particular link was with a single card whilst waiting on RMA for a replacement. Easily broke 200k on AM3 once I got the the gtx back and all other 3D benchies scaled up nicely as well. Easily my favorite board having tried P5B Deluxe, P5W DH and Evga 680i all of which came after the Infinity. Evga was a distant second as it just ran too hot and maxed at 3.60ghz. Returned it after a week as it just wasn't worth keeping having paid top dollar for it. If it were priced similar to the Infinity it might have been worthwhile to hang on to...as for Asus...really don't care much for em'. Too pricey and too gimicky IMO.Quote:

EDIT: mines a week 26 by the way...
*bump* - How come nobody answered this yet, I'm on one of the worlds most popular overclocking forums and no answer ??? :confused: :rolleyes:Quote:

very nice mobo to work with..
Default of 1.325 + 787.5mv = 2.1125 max. Mine defaults to 1.325 but I've seen others report 1.28~1.29ish...at any rate you have up to 2.0v to play with...Quote:

You can use PC8000...That's what I use (in my sig)...heh..snuck an edit in on me ;) At 400X9 I had the divider at 667 which put me at DDR1000. Works like a charm.Quote:

mnemonik23 well A0 is wrking fine atleast for me, i realy like this board and the n-b cooling that you actually can change not as Abit aw9d-max that u have modify just so you can change the cooler(heatpipes) this is a great board with the new beta bios, the only thing is that i can't lower multipel on my e67.
ah ohh.. this is the ight max vcore.. :)Quote:
