I mean settings in BIOS 'Turn fan off if temp < ' and 'Turn fan fully on if temp > '. More temp close to threshold, more speed fan has. So u may flexible adjust fan speed, but only for 2 connectors - NB and system (PWM) - if u do not have CPU 4-pin.Quote:

Cheers mate, yeah got that was wondering if there was any other ways to control them. Im on water too.
OK, so even after the settings I've been working on I am still having stability issues. So I started to think that my PSU may not be big enough for everything. Here's the list:
Q6600 @ 3.6GHz
4 x 1GB G.Skill HZ's
Dual 3870x2's in CrossfireX
DFI X38
Four Seagate 250 GB SATA 7200.10's
Plus fans, DVD burners, etc.
According to EOV's PSU Calculator (Lite - I'm still waiting on registration for the Pro), I should only need around 750W. My Thermaltake 850W PSU is CrossFire certified for 3870x2's and 2900xt's. I only loaded it up with Prime 95 and rthdribl, but 12v loads never went below 12v. So, I don't know if this is a problem or not...
As a side note, and this is a BIG side note, I was poking around with the IR thermometer and realized my memory is hitting 60C load when I have the CPU OC'ed to 3.6 and the ram is at 2.2V! I'm guessing that's a big problem, right? Right now I clocked the CPU at stock and the ram is idling at 47C.
So I'm going to whip up a quick fix with a Vantec Stealth 120mm fan, but do you guys know which ram coolers work with this board and a big vid card in slot one? My concern is the little amount of space between the ram and the card.
I know this might be a stupid question, but do you guys plug in the extra floppy type power connectors in the board when you are overclocking? With just 1 GPU? My board is not too happy at high FSB, like 1600+, I get some crappy lagging and buffering going on. Part of the problem is the 4 sticks of RAM, but I am fine when running 1600FSB. anything higher is stable, but I get the strange lagging in games and applications.
i'm doing 511fsb with 4 sticks of ballistix running @ 1224mhzQuote:

i was playin aroung yesterday did this with 2.1v on my ballistix
i'm surprised you never had a fan cooling them downQuote:

I just never thought of it until today. Last time I checked, they were running cool, but that was on my old system, and they weren't receiving additional voltage like they are now.
Any thoughts on a ram cooler?
Alright, sig updated....
you gonna need more volts on nb to get her stable on 8gigs 1.4-1.55Quote:

I figure if i run OCCT CPU/MIX/RAM for an hour...i just dont understand where the problem is. Maybe more VRam? Its already at 2.20. Something doesnt seem to get enough voltage at startup?
Guys what software are you using to read the CPU temperature? Which one do you think would be most accurate? Bios , Realtemp, Everest, whatever i use it shows different values :(. Bios even shows temps (at idle) that are only 1 degree higher than ambient.. And given the crappy way in which i managed to install the TRUE, I really doubt its doing that good of a job :ROTF: :ROTF:
Can it be that the BIOS reads wrong temperatures with a 45nm quad? Im using the stock bios (no idea which bios to flash on it :X suggestions?)
Thanks, I used to have one of those, but I don't think there is enough room between the ram and the top vid slot to fit the brackets.Quote:

There are two more BIOS files 1-11 and 3-14. 1-11 is supposed to be better for OC and fixes the NB voltage issue on some boards. Use either one of the two newer ones, unless you need something specifically updated in the latest.Quote:

I recommend trying multiple propgrams like CoreTemp, RealTemp, Everest and the like and see if there is a consensus. Then use the one you like that gives you the most accurate temps.
Guys check my sig I have to big fat HD 3870's and they fit fine with the XTC cooler without bumping into anything.Quote:

It fit's perfectly. :up:
They do just the same job as 2 x 90mm and they look a lot nicer. The fans has a nice speed and are low noise and the flow is perfect for 4 dimms you don't need anything higher then that.Quote:

best way is to use the realtemp documented idle calibration test to judge how accurate your idle temp is when cpu set to 6x266FSB and lowest vcore available on your board and compare it to your room/case ambientsQuote:

The gtl values (if I understand them correctly) are based on your CPU VTT and NB voltage. What voltage are you using?
GTL values are all based on CPU VTT nothing to do with NB..
from my experience on Asus boards the GTL ref volts are optimal even on DFI
kentsfield
gtl cpu = ~63%
gtl nb = ~67%
yorkfield 45nm
gtl cpu = ~63%
gtl nb = ~61%
but i could be wrong as my DFI LT X38 has ~30-50FSB less max FSB for E6850/E8500/QX9650 than on Asus Blitz Formula/Extreme.
I understand that it correlates to your VTT. what I was trying to say was the general "gap" between 1/3, 0/2, and nb gtl values. right now I'm running 1.3 VTT with 1.4 on the northbridge, with values of 125/115/95 at 445 x 9 (trying 333/667 for now).
so how would I go about doing this? Multiply 1.3 * .63 and .67 for my two values?Quote:

nice info :D What about the nb gtl, what values should be set there? Used cpu is a 45nm x3350. Ballpark?
you need to list cpu VTT for any advice, but its basically your CPU vtt, multiplied by .67. then, you look at the CPU VTT tables floating around here (Clunk has one on his site; somewhere in this thread). Go + or - from there is what I would do for 45nm (But I multiplied by .68; I heard 65nm quads like a bit more).Quote:

No idea if that's accurate but i use quad superpi/systool pi tests to test and for my QX9650 stability occurs at 1.28v VTT with 115/107/88 for quad pi tests. When it's unstable it just reboots at high fsb.
Thanks for the advice, I'll go try this. If I wanted to hit around say 475 FSB on 1:1, I'm guessing I'm going to need around 1.3, or will I need more? I'm right now OCCT'ing at 440 with 1.3VTT and values of 125/115/105. Also, should I just focus on ONE set at a time? Or do each affect the others values? Once again, thanks for the help eva :up:Quote:

The other Q would be about what a good VTT is for a given FSB...according to Anandtech they set VTT as high as 1.6 for 400+....i myself keep VTT always a little under VCore...and Vcore for me is 1.46 right now with FSB 442 stable at 1.42 VTT. I consider everything over 1.45 "dangerous"...in terms of possible CPU degradation over time with everything higher. Its just my own "safe zone". Other opinions might vary. If you go through a new system every few months, maybe 6 months life-span per system :) ... dont hesitate and push 1.55 - 1.6..and then in a few months just dump whatever you have and get new CPU anyway---
For 475 FSB i would definitly go higher than 1.3...but thats also just my own guessing.
@Jor3lBR
Did you have to change/mod anything to fit RAM cooler over gfx card ?? There is really NO contact between RAM cooler and gfx card ??
Another photos would be nice to see it closely :)
He said it does touch but put some electrical tape over OCZ cooler ends and its fine
I found the best advice so far for GTLs was in a completely random thread, the bonetrail board official thread.
Now that I've gotten this beast stable at ddr21000, I'm going to tinker with the gtls and see if I can run with it. Should I really worry about 1.55 vcore (when pushing into 4.0)? 1.6 vcore? My water cooling keeps this 3.8 idling at 25 and running at 45.Quote:

boots fine with pci card
Or maybe your 8800 isnt working? Test in another rig to make sure its your baord, then tweak around.Quote:

turn off the psu by its switch & give it a few seconds to fully turn off,
then press the power button on ure case or the mobo a few times to get all the power out the mobo etc
remove power cable,
take the battery out move the clear pin over & give it a few min's,
put batt back in, move jumper pin back over & try from there.
has worked for me with a simular prob. i was trying to move my 1900xtx into the secondary slot on my icfx3200 & got just the same thing ure getting, works for a second then black screen.
i was orignaly advised to leave the battery out a copple of hours , but 2 min's was all it needed.

Maybe its the x38 to 48 flash? or when you switch the chips did you have two different BIOSes? It's suprising none of the pcies worked, I have a friend with that same pcie not working issue on another dfi board(NF4). He ended up buying this board to fix that problem :rofl:Quote:

if the x48 bios ever gets better than x38 i will go back to x48
i am back to X48 bios and keep my NB at 1.5 and just dont mess with NB. The reason is that i did some tests w/ same settings...and X48 was stable.
Another observation:
I dont know whether its my settings, or a combination of settings and my hardware. I did a OCCT MIX test 2 hrs stable at one set of settings.
After a few warm-reboots....same setting BSODs OCCT out in 4 minutes.
In general using OCCT if i have problems i am getting rather BSODS and only *rarely* calculation errors.
the weird thing now is that i believe my settings are stable (i mean i let it run 2 hrs OCCT)...and when i do a cold-start (power-button) the same settings which gave me BSOD after 3 mins befoer are now stable again. I always save my stable tested settings to CMOS...so there is no reason that a setting i tested 2 hours the day before all of a sudden becomes instable......BIZARRE.
So i have reason to believe that its advisable after any change in bios settings to do a cold-start and then test..otherwise i get BSODs in OCCT no matter what, even if settings are actual stable.
I still did not solve my problem that bios sometimes resets/hangs with my strap/settings...i already tweaked a lot and changed voltages and losened timings. But as long as i am on 8x442 i have this problem. I think both problems (instability without a cold-start) might be related.
Guys how do you test for stability?
No matter what I do I always seem to get 1 error on the Prime95 Blend test. All other tests run fine, but I cant get rid of this error.. is that normal lol :D
rather than waste hours on occt/prime95, I first use systool pi test quad 16M or dual 32M (for quad core or dual core respectively) if you only have 2GB ram - don't try quad 32M as you'd run of my memory heh.
systool pi tests takes around 4-8 mins to run and should be a good starter.
wrong GTL ref volts or unstable FSB as well as unstable mem settings will reboot system usually.
then you can move onto prime95 tests etc
on air not much more i don't think as heat is holding it back 78+ C load temps.. water maybe another 100Mhz for 32M i hope :)Quote:

Also GTLREF overshoot can cause irreversible damage to the processor.Quote:

You're welcome for the info. I used to use it all the time for my DFI NF4 board, and I would use it for temp monitoring, stability testing, and even for trying to find an easy max OC for the current mem settings.
I didn't have any luck with it supporting my Asus P5W DH, so I kinda forgot about it. I'll have to go and try it out again myself.
What you said above doesnt make sense at all.Quote:

It might have something to do with the sesnors, as I'm having trouble running it on Vista 32-bit. Unfortunately, it's been a while since W1z updated it last. :(
i had my FSB/Ram a notch up, where i *know* that it's not stable.
Systool run 30mins or so...didnt complain at all.
OCCT/MEM gave me an error 1min already...so did windows memtest...after 3 mins.
Not so sure about systool :)
I get this same issue with firfox now. I think running my rig stock caused some issues installing vista, so I'll be reformatting after I'm done OCing. Anyone else have issues like window processes crashing, and nfts.sys crashing? My memory is OCCT 10 hour stable on RAM test.Quote:

I'm running stock 1,5V, no problems with RAID whatsoever. Maybe it's because I don't have a CF setup (does the 2nd, 3rd etc card even go by way of the SB like with SLI on NV mobos?)
im also running raid0 & a single HD on the SB controler without the need to add SB voltage from stock. o/cing wise it does nothing for me.
if i remember rightly the SB voltage also affects the cpu ? :shrug:
I tried stock SB and I failed OCCT Ram test on infinite in 28 minutes.
I dunno if you can relate that ONE experience to the sb volts, but only if you would ran a controlled x number of tests.Quote:

I too have random lockups eve running at stock. Usually for me it's when I'm browsing, but it's even happened while using Photoshop. CPU wasn't even loaded at the time.
BTW, I'm running a CFX system and four-drive raid array, but I've been using stock SB voltage, too.
Has anyone compared the 400/800 setting with 333/667 for 1:1 FSB:MEM ratio?
Does it change any internal timings in the NB?
Since 3DMark Vantage came out yesterday, I've been running the system overclocked to 3.6GHz. Ironically, the system seems a lot more stable and I haven't had any random lockups (knock on wood).Quote:

I've started testing on DFI LT X38-T2R motherboard with 1/11 official bios and they overclock very easily just by setting memory to 571Mhz 5-5-5-15 and vdimm to 2.10v I was already booting and memtest86+ v2.01 stable!
@585Mhz 5-5-5-15 2.10v
Quick jump to 585Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.10v still was easily quad Super Pi 32M stable (hyperpi v0.99 gui wrapper) and single Super Pi 32M stable :)

Max CPUZ Validation
4GB Corsair PC3-9136C5DF @610Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.23v
Using setFSB from 595Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.23v in windows I slowly pushed the FSB and thus the memory clocks to 610Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.23v for max validation :)

Straight boot from bios managed to push the 4GB Corsair PC3-9136C5DF to 595Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.23v for single Super Pi 32M pass. Have yet to try quad super Pi or higher vdimm :)

eva2000 did you test max fsb yet for the board?
