nevermind man, sometimes I forget too :D

Mine booted into Windows at 475 x 6

Booted into Windows at 430Mhz x 10

This is on air :)

highest I could get on on either 6x or 9x multiplier with an e6600 with vcore and vmch maxed was 457fsb.

even at 457 fsb it crashed in XP after I closed paint saving the image.

Anything higher would not boot into XP..

I think u should try x6 in order to max out the FSB...6x is really the same?

Raja@ASUS

Sorry Bro' you must have missed it, read my post above, it says max on both 6x and 9x is 457.

Board will NOT boot at any multiplier past 457.

Raja

edit bear in mind this is a final board same as reatil no difference in color...

The BIOS shot's not perfect because spent little time with it, but I had working desktop at 486 enough to have the OS reboot to go for more. Review sample tweaks maybe, but then that's a given.

May we see a screenshot of 486 mhz X 6 in windows?

450 is more than enough for me! :)

Damn, 450 would be nice. My board have troubles to run at 400 MHz and above. Still i running 380 MHz @ 1,55V MCH. If I increase the voltage to 1,85V MCH, I can run 400 MHz FSB with an Multiplier of 6 (~2,4 GHz). No way to run my wished 423 MHz FSB @ 2V. Something must be wrong. I using BIOS 1.2.

Other components:
E6600 (running 3,42 @ default VCore <-- I don't think it's the bottleneck)
2x1GB Cellshock DDR2 800 @ 4-4-4-12 (running fine 1:1 400 FSB)
Powercurrent Tagan480W
2x MSI7900GTO @ 700|800

Cooling is great enough (look at the pic).

Can anyone help me to reach 3,8 GHz on my rig? 3,6 GHz (9x400) don't work (I increased the voltage to 1,5V --> no way still failures in ortho). I think it must be the board, because 3,42 Ghz @ 1,32V (default) are running fine. Is the powercurrent maybe my problem?

Prime w/ orthos with Small FFts, if it doesn't fail then it could be ram causing it to fail during blend. If it still fails, increase vmch. If its the ram, increase vdimm

I dont have a floppy drive. Would the abit flash program work with the 1.3 bios posted earlier?

Thank you TheDro, seems it runs with 400 MHz FSB @ 3,2 GHz (default VCore) with small FFts. It's time to push up the vdimm and the multi.

If you intalled the Uguru utility, click start, browse to abit directory, and use flash menu utility:)

Ok i just didnt know if the file not being a bin would affect it

You need more vcore for the same CPU speed with a higher FSB speed.

If you're having booting issues, try booting to windows at a known possible FSB speed, then use the uGuru program to clock to what you want and then restart from windows. It should reboot at the new speed. That's what I do with the new 1.3 alpha BIOS.

You are using tRD 7 and tRFC around 40 yeah?

It is fundamentally difficult to get this board Orthos blend stable over 400fsb for anything over a couple of hours (there are some cases upto 406fsb, but that is with wc of the nb), but you should be able to play games between 410-420fsb no probs. I set vcore to around 1.58, vmch to 1.9 and vdimm to around 2.3, to run between 410-420. Orthos blend stability for 8 hours is at around 398 fsb.

I don't agree with these statements.
10-12-2006, 08:00 PM
Raja@ASUS

we don't have to agree my friend, but it is the truth for my system. I have no reason to lie. What don't you agree with?

the orthos results are a few pages back in this very thread, by quite a few users, none of us have the red board btw...

in fact looking at the above post that I made there is absolutley no grounds for any form of fabrication, consdiering users results are in this very thread, had they not been submitted then perhaps you would have a point. And consdiering the fact that I started the Orthos question in the first place.

If you have any proof otherwise let's see it. I have presented all my screenshots without question.

Raja

I do, especially for retail chips. My chip (L627 in sig) will not pass orthos @ the same 3.6ghz it did on the Asus P5W DH. I'm 3DMark stable up to 425FSB hours & hours of quake 4 & fear @ 422FSB. Super Pi 1mb @ 440FSB 9 multiplier.

thanks nemesis, some backup, what have I said here that is not agreeable? All the guys that were kind enough to help (of which nemeisis put in a lot of work) found results within a few fsb of mine.

secondly I never said that the board was rubbish as a result or not worth buying, I came here to see if anyone had found a way to get higher Orthos stability, which they had not.

Lastly I did say that I can game at 410-420, so what's the non agreeable point?

I never meant you lie, just stability varies from every system.

that's something related to the Bios vcore and OC Guru's vcore, take a detail look and you will know the things behind.

Raja@ASUS

Well my statement was based on the average of all users that ran Orthos blend, we are all within 8 fsb of each other..

secondly, even if you max bios vcore, orthos still fails at the same point..
