Could anyone provide me the settings required to reach 475FSB with a quad? I've tried different settings but none allow me to boot past Windows loading...

Could anyone provide me the settings required to reach 475FSB with a quad? I've tried different settings but none allow me to boot past Windows loading...
OK, if I get the none SE and put a fan on the NB heatsink will it cool similar to water cooling version?

1.2000V Vcore & 1.35V NB is the border for my CPU, below there OCCT will not be stable. Voltage looks nice, not to high i think.
Thanks Electric_Eye for the advice. It turns out that one of my 2GB sticks of RAM is bad. Last night I tested each stick individually and with one in particular I was able to reproduce my crash error. What a relief to finally know the cause. So, until I get my replacement RAM I'm running with a single 2GB stick in A1, error free.
Also, I never updated my experience removing the NB heat sink from the board. Cuke2u, this time my experience was the same as yours. With only minor pressure the heatsinks and pipe popped off. Then it was simply a matter of carefully chipping away most of the thermal adhesive with a razor blade, it flaked off quite nicely, and then I replaced the whole thing using my Arctic Cooling MX-2. We'll see how it does when I get my replacement RAM and I'm able to begin overclocking.
Thanks to all for their help, I'm sure I'll be looking for more as I work for a stable air cooled overclock.
Maglin, your setup is virtually identical to mine. I've taken great interest in your post several pages back listing your BIOS settings for a stable 400x9 with minimum voltage. Using the same settings I was able to boot into XP64 without an issue. Failed the OCCT stress test, but the desktop was stable. Then I saw your post several pages later stating that you had to increase some of your voltages to get stable. What settings did you eventually arrive at? Would you mind an updated posting of your stable BIOS settings and/or methodology for getting your stable overclock? Thanks.
I see you have the same RAM, awesome!, Thx for the advice, I'll try some changes tomorrow... family in for holidays.Quote:

Getting higher FSB out of a quad is gonna need some more PLL and FSBT thgen in my core 2 OC. Matbe PLL up to 1.712v and FSTB to 1.504v is a good refference point.
Try this and use overvolting as little as needed for low temps and stability.
Hope this helps!
Sweet d00d, that is really awesome for air cooling, sometimes I wonder if water cooling just delays the effects of heat... even with triple rad's and fans turned on high!Quote:

Getting my 8800GTX and 850W power supply back today, If that doesn't fix my OC problem, then.... :shakes:
hey all....just to let you guys know, i have this board up and running, 400 x 9, very very easily, on my q6600. cpu volts at 1.4
i am still on the shipping bios 401
had to rma a brand new evga 8800gtx, had some tearing issues at stock speeds, so when i get it back i will try some further overclocking.
I knew that :nuts:Quote:

Hello,
I am trying to choose between the maximus formula and the p5e to go with a q6600. I will pair them with 2 3870s in crossfire.
And for memory I am thinking about crucial ballistix pc2-8500.
Does the maximus formula also have that 3rd generation 8-phase power for the cpu? because that latest gen thing only shows up on the P5e's page on asus.com.
Which board would you guys recommend?
Any other suggestions for memory?
Thank you

At this point, it's not the mobo that needs so much volts. As I stated before, this mobo is good to 540FSB with the right CPU and 500FSB is a easy one with as lil as 1.504v on NB 1.10v on SB, and 1.58v on SB 1.5.
Post back the other "Extreme Tweaker" settings you are using and we'll take a look.
Good Luck!
How can she do at high mobo FSB at any ratio? I'd like one of these if I can get closer to 532FSB and still have 4GHz 1:1 for DDR1066. 4.26GHz as 533x8 would be great.Quote:

They're both good so far. The P5E is pretty much the MAXIMUS rebadged and tripped of some and added of others. You get the "2" extra SATA, but still on J-Micron (I'd rather drop in my own Sis on PCI-E).Quote:

All the trouble you hear is mostly from quad OC'rs w/ RAM up deviders, and this will be the challenge on both if looking for higher FSB OC.
For Core 2 users on 1:1 w/ tight timings, you cant go wron with either. As for gamers, I like the MAXIMUS for it's unique features such as mobo voltages LED's and LED poster. I like that it is stripped of the stuff I would either not use or just replace, like Wi-Fi, eSATA etc.
The P5E will be likely the last DDR2 X38 but will, or may get revised and /or upgraded in time as newer features come to. But Like most "E" or "Premium" additions, most OC'n stuff is the same.
Hope this helps!
yes, i think so...thats what i had read awhile back, and its where i started myself....but like you said...in a way, its always a crap shootQuote:

4 stick is gonna' limit those higher speeds and good timings, and very stressful on MCH and worse if using up deviders.

I have seen a post where the fsb was 550 with p5e. That looks promising for 1:1 ram divider with cas 4.
I am concerned about the cpu overclock with higher fsb because of the upcoming qx9450 etc.. , will need the higher fsb with the low multiplier.
so the p5e was released after the maximus formula?
-but that 3rd generation 8-phase power that only shows on P5E's specifications is not an enhancement over the formula's 8-phase?
I was looking at newegg for the prices, how come the maximus formula se has 46 reviews and 5 stars vs. 8 reviews and 4 stars for the non-se with people reporting a lot of problems?
bad default bios versions? / only the watercooling enthusiasts like to write reviews and know what they are doing?
-do you know how the asus formula would compare against the gigabyte x38-dq6?
A Barton 2500 overclocked to 2700MHz with 2.0v is 148 WattsQuote:

I hope not to cause arguments but I thought this had to be shown.
The Barton would be pretty good to do 2700 and 2v is quite high I think, where the Quad clocked to 3.6MHZ is very average with VERY low volts of 1.4
More likely the Quad would go to 3.8 @ 1.6v which would be 272 Watts
That's why they take a bit of cooling.
This is only here to maybe help show why and not put forward as an argument just some plain easy mathematical facts.
Since it's better to be prepared I just ordered a Fuzion... just in case, if no reseating, splitting loops etc would help then I will have another ace in my sleeve to try... only ~$70 shipped w/ 3-day UPS only, not a huge sum anyway. :cool:

Hey Guys, just wanted to give you an update. I ordered the Asus Maximus Formula SE this morning and it should me here in couple of days. I am glad that I finally ordered it. Because after reading bit-tech quick preview of X48 Chipset, my opinion on X48 is that, it's not worth the wait. Stick with X38. My Grand Total for the MB is $280.49. Once again thx for all the help guys!
Any Good Recommendations for Memory Modules for SE?
P.S. Fusion
I would hope this brings some better temps, it's a very low pressure block so it will give your pump a much easier time.Quote:

Just to add, X48, although being newer and a higher model number, is not necessarily any different for us overclockers anyways. X48 only really makes official claim specs to FSB 1600 and DDR1600. DDR3 based X38's do that with ease already, it's called overclocking. X48 looses true ECC DDR support.Quote:

I will be running 4GB of ram on 2 sticks.
So just playing the odds, I should be in the 2 white ram slots if i'm looking for a high FSB speed?
Totally agree, by far the best RAM I have used on this board :)Quote:

I wanted to mention the importance of cpuPLL voltage. It is definately important to increase this votlage when going over 400mhz FSB with a quad. There is no specifics...each cpu will differ. For example, my B3 quad doesn't care for it...increase too much and stability was quickly lost. My G0, tho, was not stabe for 48hr prime without 1.8v...1.7v...33hrs...1.75v...38.5hrs...
Also of note is that my B3 did not need any FSB or PLL voltage change when FSB was increased(or it had negative effects), while my G0 ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED more vFSB and cpuPLL. b3 was happy with 1.2vFSB, 1.5v PLL, as a comparison. Unfortunately the power draw of the B3 was too high for this board, however I can go all the way up to 1.65v on my G0 without seeing the "prime95/system process" issue when loaded, further pressing the idea that the "EPU", by means of cpu power consumption, is what is affecting the "Prime95 issue".
Ok, here's my final results. I tried upping freq first, then after failure, upped volts until max temp of 85C was reached on CPU. Would post on 442x9 (3.99GHz) but was barely stable using OCCT1.2.0b for more than 1 min, sometimes BSOD <1min, sometimes reboot, even after upping CPUvolts to 1.75 volts and cpuPLL 1.86V, NB to 1.7V. Anyway, brought down to 440x9 (3.97GHz) and was able to lower CPUVolts to 1.6875, cpuPLL 1.78V, NB to 1.55V, FSBtermV to 1.54, and RAM to 2.00V. Under these conditions it is stable for the 1 min OCCT CPU load. Does not make it past a 2min load test tho...
try thisQuote:

After I put everything back together, when I went to start it up, it would not post. Everything was spinning (all fans, all the LED's) and the board seems to have full power. The power switch won't even work to turn it off... I have to actually flip off the power at the back of the PSU (Corsair 620).
I hooked up the mini LCD, and tried again. I'm stuck at CPU INIT, with all fans running full blast and board LED's lit up. After shutting it down, I cleared the CMOS by holding in the button for ten seconds. Still stuck at CPU INIT. I uplugged the new burner, still stuck. Played with my RAM (two sticks, different slots, one stick, Channel A), still no go.
Any ideas? Possible short? Take out the CMOS battery? Take MoBo out of case and off of mobo tray, hook up the bare essentials? Anybody else have this problem, and find a workaround?
Nurn.. you broke your cpu.
Please, don't claim facts, when you don't know what really it is (sorry, was also pi**ed by that Barton explanation, and just prefered to shut up, as some people -not you- are deaf to any explanations, but kimandsally showed it very well). No bad feelings, but here are FACTSQuote:

Gigabyte is taking the time to build a rev1.1 of the board when they can just swap the X38 for a X48. Looks like PCB v1.1 will be reserved to the next X48 with an emphasis on overclocking performance... Also, a rev1.1 less than 2 months after a rev1.0...
Be sure, ASUS is doing the same, but, opposed to Gigabyte, they never officially announced in time a "small revision of their PCBs (they are very marketting aware to do it).
Buyers should really wait, the X48 on new PCB revisions should definetealy give the stability of quadcores over 400MHz FSB. If that stability is so hard to reach till now, it is evident that it is not a CPU or RAM problem, but a motherboard problem. With offcial 400 FSB support for upcoming 45nm quad core CPUs, the X48 motherboards layout will have no choice than give you some headroom to garant stability at 400MHz FSB. Pumping 425-440 MHz from actual Q6600 chips, would no longer be motherboard limited hopefully.
In fact, actually, all X38 PCB revisions need to pump a crazy vcore in the NB and FSB to stabilize a 400MHz FSB on the quads, while, on the new X48 revisions, it will be at stock specs.
My two cents, based on Gigabyte official announcements and Intel 400MHz FSB quad cores that new motherboards must support fully at stock specs.
Nah prolly not.:confused:Quote:

Is it a bad idea to buy this board . What kind of future does it have ? I want to buy tomorrow btw :P so let me know . All I want is 3ghz on a Q6600 but I want crossfire too. It seems theres a bunch of problems but hopefully everything is resolved soon.
you shouldn't have any trouble getting 3Ghz. I can run 9x400 with my B3 chip no problem on this board.Quote:

any ideas?:shrug:
Are there any difference in therms of overclockebility between the "white" and the "blue" slots , @ the P5K Deluxe the "black" slots are better then the "yellow" one, but it could be that the black dimms got a bigger drive strenght that can causing death RAMS in the long run...... I had some Mushkin XP8500 that were degrading slowly using those "black " slots , I dont know if there is a co-relation....
Hmmn, i've just been thinking. My E6550 is maxed out at 502FSB but my mem is only running 1004mhz. How or what would I adjust so that it was running at the full 1066mhz or maybe even overclock them??

Also, after flashing for the first time & running at default, my system crashed due to a bad OC :confused: When I checked the BIOS the FSB Term was clocked at max 2V. After resetting this it didn't come back.
tbc..
Yup, that was using EZflash w usb-drive.Quote:

Flashed to 0902 and running great and i also noticed that ASUS is implying the 0.5 multiplier soon.
I dont know if it makes a difference or not, but why not use the 8pin if your PSU has it?Quote:

I know this could be related to the default 1.8v for the memories, but I have tried a lot of 533 / 667 / 800 DD2 mem, that should be running fine with 1.8v or less than that.
The mobo won't post, and I am sure all of my hardware is working fine, since I have them working on the previous mobo...
I have tried a lot of memories, I have even tried clearing the CMOS overnight, with the battery off... Still no good.
Looks like there is an issue with my mobo, and I will have to RMA it.
Any other suggestions?

- replace the CMOS battery that I pulled out last night
- hold down the power button for a minute or two to discharge capacitors fully
- plug the power connectors onto the board(this time I will use the 8 pin instead of 4 pin)
- turn on PSU
- push the Clear CMOS button
- turn off PSU
- disconnect the power connectors
- reinstall CPU and cooler
- reinstall one stick of RAM into DIMM Slot A1 (closest to CPU... agreed??)
- hook up one HD
- hook up one video card
- reconnect two power connectors to mobo - turn on the PSU
- should I try to CLEAR CMOS at this point also???
- hit the power button on the mobo
- pray
Any comments/suggestions... particularly the part about WHEN to hit the CLEAR CMOS button??
Do you folks use screw with fibre insulating washers to screw down your mobo, or just screws with no washers?
try removing the cpu, then put it back in. it should post then at default settings. it worked for me when i had that problem.Quote:

Did anybody tried Asus Update with this option enabled to flash older bios? Don`t even know, if this option is there anymore in Asus Update options!?
I thought mine went the same way as yours , then i entered a number rather than press enter on (Auto) and hey it worked , only change i see is they made 0.5 inrements for new CPu'sQuote:
