how exactly do u guy fix the coil noise issue? its getting on my nerves.....
some people said they had to move the coils until noise stops.... you do that while PC is turned on? with what tools??
Deam I am to pist off because vcore.
Setings
Bios - 803
CPU - Xeon Q6600 X3220
MB - Asus Commando
Power - Antec 650W
RAM - CH 1000 CL4
...
1.7V-bios --> 1.62V win
Tomorrow I will try some DI but Vcore make me mad :mad:
Is a Vcore mod for Commando same as for P5B-Dlx?
I think it is the same mode, but now I dont have time and material to do it.Quote:

PC Probe is ok:)Quote:

1,7625V => 1,74V idle. For DI maybe OK ;), the hole is weird anyway...Quote:

Edit: @Voodle: SpeedFan newest beta shows temperature form on-die thermal diodes also ;).
And some results with Commando and Conroe-L, 1MB cache is really bad for Pi (as for Conroe architecture), especially 16/32M (the 1M is already very poor for such MHz and RAM) :(, not my fault...

Finally a bit of hope establishing a solid baseline. I want high FSB speeds for memory bandwidth without sacrificing too many tight timings. :rolleyes: :D
Hopefully the Tuniq can keep temps reasonable to 3.7Ghz running Orthos.
DDR2 volts are fluctuating between 2.35-2.40
2GB Corsair 8888C4DF
CPU vcore vdroop is 0.01-0.02 between full load (not too bad IMHO) but it under-volts by 0.05-0.06
SP1m 13.9XX
SP2m 33.8XX
(can't remember exactly, don't want to stop Orthos right now!) ;)
How accurate is CPU temp between TAT and PC Probe?
I dont have problem with Vdrop, my vdrop is 0,01-0,02V, Vcore is problem.Quote:

The good thing is that I manage to hit 485FSB with Q6600, so tomorrow is my day
Bios have some bugs, and asus must fix it soon;)
MrDeeds - I just ran into the same issue with a reboot. I was just about to surpass 4 hours in Orthos and it clipped and rebooted. No error message, just BAM, reboot.
I also got the SB voltage drop warning 3-4 times during the run.
Mine VCore was as I said before (and I'm on air, so 1,74V real is some killer voltage ;)).Quote:

With this Conroe-L (I'm not 100% sure with my E6400 because I'm usually using only 1,3125V => ~1,26V real, 24/7 and 1,7V => ~1,62V real, benches) I had some holes, for example 1,6V => 1,4V and 1,5625V => 1,54V.
485 with Q is nice :), maybe try to do it with 1066 strap ;). Last benchable I achieved 505, 2,025V @ NB, HR-05 + Winter Cooling - not easy but worth it - I tested today that in 16M the time was better with 400x8 @ 1066 than 422x8 with 1333.
anyone using 0803 bios manage to pass blend test in orthos? I got this BSOD on memory faulty or type mismatch even i am sure my ram is not faulty by using another pair and running my GTX with 10 loops 3dmark06 without errors...i am reverting back to 0601/0702 to see if i still have this problem.
btw, i do blend orthos at stock too..but still getting the same BSOD from 15min to few hrs..
It just kind of frustrates me that it doesnt fail but it reboots.Quote:

Also whats the deal with the new bioses, are they that bad. Everybody has been trying to go back since they've been released.
hi guys .. i have a commando too and have one question ... my microns are stable 500mhz @ 2.4v .. but i dont want to give them so much vdimm for 24/7 so i have the choise between 9x355mhz fsb and 444mhz memory ( 4-4-4-8-3 @ 2.1V ) and 8x400mhz fsb and 400 mhz memory @ 3-4-3-8-3 2V ? What will be faster for 24h7 ?

Tighter timings (3-3-3 etc) work properly once you move to the 1333 strap which kicks in at 401MHz and higher.
This may help to explain how it works.
To be honest under normal use you'll be hard pushed to tell the difference, only benchies would show any significant difference.
my 07xx bios still have the same error on BSOD "faulty memory or type mismatch. try chaning your video adaptor..xxx"Quote:

Guys, I am having a devil of a time with the SATA controller on this board. I tried installing Vista on this board with 2 SATA disks and 2 parallel ATA DVD drives via SATA-IDE converters. The ICH8R SATA controller was configured in AHCI mode. This was incredibly slow and didn't work in the end.
Eventually, I got Vista to install using the IDE mode for the SATA controller, and after putting the DVD on the jmicron PATA controller. Only the problem now is that the other DVD drive on the SATA port with an SATA to IDE adapter doesn't show up at all. If I switch the SATA controller to AHCI mode, the BIOS detects the missing DVD drive fine, but the Vista crashing on bootup.
Also, I'd like to be able to run RAID0 on my SATA drives, and setting the SATA controller to RAID also triggers AHCI and the accompanying crashing.
What I am doing wrong? Is it possible to load AHCI support after the OS has been installed? It tries to boot fine, but crashes midway, so it's finding the boot information fine.
I'm running 0803 of the BIOS. This is very frustrating as I want to get past all this nonsense and begin overclocking!
Thanks,
Mike
Thanks Herms !
Benchmarks like Everests Memory "ns" are with the first choice faster ... Aquamark etc. are faster too . I think i will let it by the first choice till i buy a new cpu that is better then the cpu that i have at the moment ...
Can someone help start me on my new oc ?
I just got a commando, e6600 B2, 2 gigs of Gskill DDR2-1000 (F2-800PHU2-2GBZX) and a BFG 8800GTS w/
a PC P&C 750w psu.
I loaded the latest mobo bios 803 and I'm trying to overclock my cpu. I am able to set my fsb to 350 but after awhile of playing SupremeCommander demo my system locks up.
I'm running 2 scsi hd's and one 150g raptor. So far this is what I've tried in the bios:
set AI tuning to Manual then
set the fsb to 350
set the ddr to DDR1100
set pci lock to 33.3
set cpu voltage to 2.5
and that's it. I get to windows but I'm sure more stuff probably should be set in the bios..
Can someone tell me what other settings should I be setting ?
Thank you for the help, it's very much appreciated.
Regards,
Jose
what about Vmem?
Does the commando recognize 1333 FSB Conroes without any problem?
2.5 vcore ~1.8 is max. 1.7v should be the max used considering the 0.1 vdroop that will give ~1.57 -1.6vcoreQuote:
