Thanks guys , what about with quad cores ?
:up:
I'm not sure with the Q6600 but I see no reason why it cant hit above 1600fsb. Their is actually a youtube video of a dude overclocking the Q6600 with this board found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApUiWgzUkGMQuote:

The Q9300 I bet will hit about the same with a little higher bandwidth. I cant wait to see what the Q9550 will do! :shrug:
Hi,
I'm with my Q6600 G0 on the XFX 780i :
- 9x1650 with vcore 1,44V boot and stress ok (occt or wprime) but doesn't boot after reset.
- 8x1856 boot ok and reset ok.
why ?
how do you guys undo the pencil mod? just wipe the resistor with your finger or something?
All you have to do fadetoblack is take an eraser and rub it out, its easy :)
Also, update on my OC'ing. Tryed 2050QDR, at first it wouldnt boot, hanged on 4E code. rebooted twice.. got back in, went back to my usual settings, blah blah. got the itch again, tried it about an hour ago and it booted it.. LOL.
Yea, the board is definately odd, it failed OCCT after 20min, not worth it. I rebooted to change voltages and it was corrupting Vista on me, vista told me system files were critically corrupted. I :banana::banana::banana::banana:ted my pants, then i put back everything super fast and im not going to touch it. I did want to try it since i got the TRUE today. temps are 10c under load then my Zalman 9700LED was.. Great cooler, but its older now. I did have to change the 250mm fan on the side of my case, i moved it to OUTSIDE the case, so instead of in, its outside of the case.. looks kinda retarted but its still pretty cool. i really didnt want to lose that fan heh
Such a large results thread and nearly all of them dual cores , doesnt anyone have quad core results ? I want to know what chance I have of getting a 45nm quad to 8x475 or maybe higher with this mobo . Leeghoofd you would have tested this , please tell .
:up:
little update.
ran orthos blend for 13 hrs.no probs at all.im not going to go any higher with the fsb until i can get a ViperJohn nb block.even with a 80mm fan mounted on the stock cooler my nb temps are horrible.if i can get my hands on a q6600 or yorkie ill update with my results.
so far no complaints what-so-ever.this thing has been solid as a rock for me.
Did anyone mention in this thread where I can get the vcore reading from this board?
I'd like to build up an SLI setup with the 780i chipset.
Are there any issues with 8GB RAM or can the 780i easily manage 4x2GB sticks?
And what kind of problems do I have to expect when running the 780i which I wouldn't have with a X38?
FSB wall is no big deal for me, since I'd like to go with an unlocked QX9650.
With 780i eVGA, you cannot use SATA Optical drives, but one of the tech guys at eVGA's forum released a beta chipset driver that fixes it.
The 780i is really really good, just some dumb mistakes that should have never been made in the first place. The 780i can easily do 4x2, im doing 2x2 atm, going to get 2 more sticks for 4x2 for 8GB, So i'll report when i get them.
The board is great, there was a new bios just recently released, its on the eVGA boards. P04, highlights are CPU Microcode, not really much. I cant hold my 500x8.0 anymore, it blue screens. I think they tweaked internal timings on the board, so you can get better performance at lower FSB, but so far im back to 445x9.0 till i can figure out how to fix it.
Thanks a lot Furiøùs.
The sata bug seems to be an annoying one. Maybe I should better go with X38 and GX2... hm
the SATA bug has just recently been fixed for some with a beta chipset driver. Its not anyone elses fault but nVidia for doing this, but really, i just hope it gets fixed soon cause i want to replace my old plextor DVD-Burner with 2 SATA drives.. get crackin nVidia!!! :D
@ furious,
What reason have you changed to 8x multi? Does the bandwidth make that much of difference? If you have 1000mhz memory why run it at 800mhz. You should be running it linked at a 1:1 ratio or sync. That's just my opinion.
SATA's give me a fit installing 64bit Vista, after it loads all the files to the HD I have to unplug my DVD burner from the Sata port or else it will bluescreen when it reboots. Once Vista is installed and SP1 run I can plug it back in with no problems system 100% stable.
Just don't install "mediashield" drivers from NVidia they will kill system stability trust me, I found out the hard way :mad:
Edit: This is with running two raptors raid 0, I am not sure but I think the problem only happens when you are running raid.
My P5K with vista64 and sata dvdrw wasnt happy either , I ended up installing from an ide dvdrw and then swapping back .
:shrug:
I couldnt run linked and synced, didnt like the 1:1 divider. not sure what it was but i couldnt have that high FSB with the high memory speed. it really hated it. Blue screens, would crash within seconds of OCCT and prime. meh but now its 445.9.0 with the mem at 1017 5-5-5-15. havent tried lowering anymore voltages cause thats what people are reporting with the P04 BIOS, slightly lower vCore for the same OC

also how would a chipset driver help an os install? drivers arent loaded yet.
This chipset has a wall around 450 MHz right (with q6600) ?
;)
Geezers!
Anybody tried the new "beta" Everest and LOOKED at the SPP Temps???
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ex/780ihot.jpg
thats my only gripe with this mb.the nb is ridiculously hot.despite having replaced the tim with ic7d and thermalright tape on the fets AND a 80mm fan blowing on the nb i still idle at 70c!
the only option is to get a waterblock to cool it down.so my hr-05/sli are both useless to me now :(
thanks for the headsup on the beta everest Saph.ive paid hell trying to find a proggy to monitor nb temps.
I first tried build 1344 beta but it didn't have a SPP sensor. I finally located the 1343 beta and this is what I've got for the SPP ...Quote:

Why would a later beta not have the SPP?
Build 1343 Beta:

Two things:
First: Why wont my board boot and run stably with memory linked? I am at 1800mhz FSB with 800mhz memory right now (unlinked) and have tried linked 5:4 and synced (with loose timings 5-5-5-15) and both are not stable.
SEcond: have to hook my GPU cooler fan up to mainboard (wrong connector for GPU). It's the two aux fan connectors at the bottom of the board installed. How do I control the fan speed with them? How do I lower settings or voltages on those connectors?
