Thanks, I will take a look at this, although I don't have that kit. Did you try just shifting tWR and nothing else?
The 4GB DIMMs I have here don't have this problem and neither do John's 2GB DIMMs.

Throw them back in and give tWR a shift in a bit.Quote:

No it's fine, I have headroom to 1023 after that it's a no go, trcd at 11 probably cut them some slack.Quote:

Well then there's no real problem Chew - because the DOCP profile is for DDR3-2000. The rest comes down to manual tuning and it's not worth us setting tWR to 10 over DDR3-2000 just for one set of modules when everything else works ok.Quote:

Is that RAM rated at DDR3-2400 on AMD or Intel?Quote:

Of course intel.Quote:

We can't start doing vendor/module specific profiles, as it would soon become cumbersome. It will be easier just to help users who want the extra bandwidth out of modules like these - there won't be many that have them and those that do are generally tweakers.Quote:

LN2 Results ->http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...the-Bar-on-AMD
I should note the board performed exceptionally well from beginning to end, no more cold issues as with previous boards. No more stolen clock syndrome after only 1 hour of benching, it performed almost flawless albeit there are a few small things I will bring to ASUS's attention to see if we can get them straightened out :)
Seems to a lot of headroom left Brian :) go go LN2...
One other tidbit I forgot to mention which i discoverd last night which will effect the extreme crowd.
For those lucky few that managed to scoop one of these AMD specific pot's up from Vince before he discontinued them be forwarned, You will either have to cut the PWM sink to make clearance or look for another board.

Good thread with a lot of details.
About the CPU power connectors. 4-pin is just for IMC and 8-pin is for the rest.
First I was also wondering, what they have been thinking, but knowing the purpose made it look better.
Keep the scores coming! There is not that much amd guys around.
How much space you have to work with with your ln2cooling pot?Quote:

Good stuff on the 4-way action!
It's roomy enough. I didn't take exact measurements but yah you can still wrap it once it's installed.Quote:

I'd rather not cut mine but it is an option, in my case I just used a different pot.Quote:

I've always been able to bench with my PWM soaked in water due to my methods, not gonna fly for the eraser guys but imo eraser has it's uses and it has it's misuses.
Just because there is a lack of benchers/competition in no way means you still shouldn't try to push the limits :)Quote:

wow this is good thread
Ok so after my quick ln2 run on this board i did run into a small issue that needed to be worked out, basically this serves dual purposes.
Air/water guys on ln2 with locked cpu's and ln2 benchers.
Had an issue with higher htt, I needed higher htt as an ln2 bencher do to some recent changes AMD made to agesa code which limits NB multis.
Here's what you get with 300 htt for options.
At 250 htt 4000NB is just not going to cut it but 300 htt will max out the majority of cpu's.

Apparently there are some possible auto rule issues that are being worked on. For the time being just set the primary timings normally found in cpu-z and touch no other timings, leave them auto, even if you set them to what auto is setting them manually you will find a no post situation. You may have to hit reset a couple times to get a sucessful boot.

While runnig the above I happened to notice something else rather odd, in cpu tweaker MRL is very very high for channel A only.
Do not use cpu tweaker to change this, it will apply but it's not actually applying. Use AOD instead as a workaround for now.
As you can see from these 2 shots it impacts latency slightly when at an optimal setting.

omg, it is mega POT :). How with preparing RAM slots? Its good "only" electro-insulating tape? Or its better this plastic "modeline"?
While I was fooling around with HTT I decided to test a real locked chip, unfortunately the IMC is not to great on this one at very high htt however if you run more conseravtive settings 300+ is easy.
300 ram 1600 6-7-6

I dug an old set of 8 gig out that I reviewed, nothing stellar timing wise..........just running them at rated and 333 htt was easy.

On my pot, the edge of the mounting holes for AM3 are almost equal to the inner wall of the reservoir. It will be tight to wrap, however it should fit.
