give it a bash if you like, I dunno how much more stressful the priority settings make the test...

I'm having troubles with this mobo...

There is no way to make it boot up with DDR2 PC3200 memory ? I have a pair of Micron PC3200 D9 "FatBody" sticks (they did 495Mhz Cas 4-3-2 few days ago) but the minium ratio is 1:1 and seems that the mobo doesn't allow me to run with PC3200 memory as the minium memory speed should be PC4200 (what this memory is capable of, for sure).

Do you think there is any solution ? I'm really pissed... I won't be able to use my fantastic D9 kit...

You could edit the SPD in another mobo using Thaiphoon.

That's one solution but I think I've just got an easier one. It boots correctly if a 4:5 divisor is applied. So I just need someone to mod the bios and set it with 4:5 ratio as default (after doing a cmos clear).
Who could do it for me ?

Edit: Reprogram the SPD would be better... as I would be memory limited if I'm forced to use a 4:5 divider.
Will try thaiphoon ... any GOOD guide out there ? (the included one is so simple for me :P )

Here is the saved dump if someone could modify it to change max bandwidth to 266Mhz and timings table 266Mhz 4-3-3. Many rhanks...

Thats my first results for now.I beleave the CPU needs a litle more vcore over there so now I am testing again with 1,525(1,5 before)vcore and 1,75(1,8 before)real vmch to confirm this.
I am starting to beleave that it is the CPU's that are failing in orthos at that speed and not fsb.I also want to try 8X400+fsb.

Thanks Phil,

In my case I know that my cpu can push 427fsb on the Asus P5WDG2 PRO, so I do think it's a wall....

heh, trouble is I only sleep 6 hours.

And I have to use my pc either side to do my admin duties.

But I will stick it on 9 anyway and still do the same.

You are welcome Raja.
Althow I have lowered vmch,orthos is running now for 10h 45m but I think I won't have time to leave it for a hole 12h because a storm is comming and without a UPS system is kind of riscy to leave it running.
EDIT: What vcore/cooling ere you using in screenshot and what max temps while running orthos?

Yes mine does.. I suspect a bad battery cause I know the cmos jumper is correct. I will change the battery off an old mobo and it should work right then.

hey keiki,
a little OT.. in your sig.. you've use Abit and DFI board.. have you compare them clock per clock? which is a better ocer? ;) ..is 350x10 is your highest stable oc on the DFI?

yep max stable on dfi for me was 350x10. Haven't done clock to clock comparison yet but i can do it tomorrow as i get my 7950gx2 and so on :)
new bios for abit would really help too but one thing between dfi and abit for me is that abit got so much stable volts then dfi.
atm 360x10 on abit is orthos stable at least 3h and thats enough for me and 380x10 was no problem with little super pi testing only.

Most good 975 based boards don't need vMCH over 1.6v-1.65 until you start trying to get above 415-420. my Bad Axe will go to 426 w 1.65v, 444 w/ 1.72v and 456 w/ 1.82v

Vcore for that Orthos was 1.47 in bios, 1.53 actual.

That board is real steady over 400fsb, and with most D9GMH the memory speeds can be high right upto the limits of fsb... But the board costs more too.

Guys,

BETA BIOS 13 is here. Dunno about the complete changelog. Flashed it with FlashMenu, worked fine. They added TREF to the RAM options and there's an option to dis- or enable PCIe slot 1 and 2. BIOS is dated 9/28, must be based on the alpha you have heard of.

!FLASH ON YOUR OWN RISK!

I got my Micron PC3200 reprogramed to PC5400 so now I can go 1:1

This is going well, 406 x 9 (3.66Ghz) 1.400V in bios 1:1 Cas 4-3-2 (2.2V) cooled with Thermalright Ultra 120
