Tell me what your +12V are in smart guardian w/ your 620HX. Some guy on [H] was complaining of only getting +-11.65.

Damn it! I'm currently using 405FSB on the 4:5 divider for DDR1012. I guess I should just keep using my P5B-DLX with my "HZ" ram. Kinda upsets me, as I wanted this board.
Bios >>> NB STRAP (100,133,266)

Could someone test this mobo with a quad?
looks great on c2d.
mascaras,
I'm running 3-3-3 @ ddr2 800 currently with the FAST/FAST ram settings
but I was unable to boot when I tried the divider @400fsb/500mhz ram (4:5)
on the same FAST option settings at 4-4-4-12. Has anyone been able to pull this one off?
This ram is capable of running 540mhz 4-4-4 or 600mhz 5-5-5 on p5b dlx
Yes. me.
I've been on 4/18 since I started overclocking the board.
Strange, I'll set them to auto and see if that changes anything.
So setting the nb strap to 1333 is it possible to run 580+ fsb?
you cant right now, that option isnt available, maybe later on they may come up with a different bios or some thing that will allow it but until then your stuck with the 1066 (266)
if you slap a 333fsb chip in this board it will boot happily...i would know i have my cpu modded to 333fsb and it boots fine from a cleared bios at 333fsb
just ram compatability seems weaker running this cpu...
I hope they sorted out also the use of the second pci-e slot (4x) for a raid card...
sorry bud i haven't...only a-open 700watter
Update:
Got my DFI p965 today w/ an e6600 49G batch. Flash to PD411, no issues at all. First Intel build since the 1999, been with athlon since and this is by far the easiest setup I've ever had. I had more difficulty with the lame stock heat sink then anything so far. No IDE devices, SATA NEC/Sony DVD Burner w/ Raptor at first.
The board is very wierd at first. It boots up for 5 seconds then shuts off then boots up on its on 3 seconds later.
My 2GB Gskill Hz (DDR800) came up as DDR 667 @ 5-5-5-15 @ 1.9V. Quickly followed the guide on here set it at DDR 800 @ 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1V (LEFT everything Auto at windows install). Ran memtest everything was fine after 15 minutes. Reset the computer and installed windows XP in 10 minutes. Drivers installed off the CD, btw the intel chipset driver is 8.1.1.001 if anyone cares. I dont know if that is old or not.
Smart Guardian is kind of wired. My CPU and System Temperature changes rapidly. My ATX +12V is at 11.83 to 11.90 Volts (I have the Corsair 620HX) CPU-z shows my volts ranging from 1.200 to 1.248, I left my e6600 volts on auto and I dont know if there is an option in the BIOS for something like cool 'n quiet c2d were it lowers your volts when your not using the CPU.
I'm going to try a mild over clock today to see what I can get with the stock cooler. BTW what should I put on my CPU Volts ? I don't understand JPN with their +250mvzf stuff.
I recently figured out my problem. Apparently having Speedfan in my startup list breaks Crossfire on boot. Once I removed that, let Crossfire initialize and start Speedfan manually, I was back in business. Before that the only way to play games was to have Crossfire disabled or Catalyst AI turned off - both resulted in craptastic FPS.
Haven't reinstalled 3DMark since figuring out this problem, but I'll get on that shortly.
