well i just had this board kill a second set of ram at 2.4v
id say 2.4v and micron rams is unsafe on this board
dives probly too high on it

Damn... sorry to hear about the RAM :( This is why I'm scared to set my memory voltages over 2.20 or so.Quote:

interesting. blue slots are 1 and 3, right?
when my 1 stick of 10th anniversary died, it died in slot 3. the mem module no longer even showed up when installed (only showed 1 gig instead of 2).
since then, i've only used slots 2 and 4 and have not had any problems.
from what I have heard it seems slot 3 was a big culprit for this for some odd reason....it seemed to occur more often with vdmm of 2.3-2.4...as if the board was overvolt in surge fashion or something( i did see if I recall in the thread some have a stick die even at 2.2v in slot3)Quote:

I was running around 2.24 when my stick died.Quote:

ive seen it spike to 3.0 i thought it was just a wrong reading from my meter but i guess notQuote:

I found out why the freezing in the bios occurs, it was my wireless logitech, when i plug in a usb keyboard i could get back again...
Havnt try'd the molex, but i was always told its only for gfx requirements, but ill give it a go when im out of options again...
Its a bit sad i need so much Vcore to get stable again at 400fsb on this board, but to hell with it if i get the last mhz i want it can burn in hell, intel dropped thier prices this week, so ill get a E6600 and see if i can have some more luck here...
I agree the gfx molex probably would do nothing but you never know it may add some strange stabiltiy
I plugged mine in from the get go...I have a 1900xt cf(single card) with pcie plugged in of course too
Are you OCing the 1900xtx in only 3D..I use ATI tool and set 2D clocks at default and 3D 675/800...not the great OC but not bad..very stable
anyone try the vmch mod for this board yet?
i'd really like to push the FSB on this board but i appear to be limited by the measely 1.7 vmch (aw9d-max gives you 2.0).
i can do 3.8 ghz stable smallfft at 423 but can't blend test. i am assuming this has to be the result of not enough vmch at 423 (though ram is very capable).
it'd be fun to push this thing to 450+ :)
Edit :)
Could be failing if you're trying to install or run IDCC after running RMClock or any other similar utility. Flat out refuses to load for me if I've already ran (and closed) any of those types of utilities.Quote:

BadAxe2
4 GB Gskill PC8000HZ
4 Raptors
X800XL
Zippy700w
I have tried 2 different PCI videocards and borrowed a WORKING x800XL from a friend and i get no signal on the monitor. Is the board dead? This is my first time trying to post. All other rigs in the house are ddr and 478 so i cant really swap and try. Any ideas? I have also tried clearing the cmos with no luck, i really hope the board isnt dead, dont want to RMA it as microcenter only allows exchanged for like 2 weeks or something
Just leave one stick of ram and see if it posts.
tried 1 stick of the gskill and still no signal on my monitor, tried both vga and dvi. Went out and bought a generic piece of ram to see if its because the gskill need 2.0/.1 volts but still no signal. tried just the ram cpu and video and still nothing. Everything spins up fine and when i had harddrives hooked up i could hear them working. Cant really test piece by piece either because no one i know has ddr2/c2d
it's a good thing you got that 2nd stick. try again.
i had the pc8000hz's and yes, they try to boot up at 4-4-4-5 ddr2-1000!!! with only default voltage.
you're gonna have to try to boot up with antoher stick, get into bios, adjust voltage to 2.1, change timings to 4-4-4, ref freq 266, mem freq 533 and then go from there.
Yup do what shimmishim said after moving cmos jumper into maintenance mode. Should work...
So i think i found the problem. 1. I had to use an old pure vga monitor and it booted! YAY but the graphics had crazy corruption, trying a buddies card tomorrow. Thanks for the info guy
Those people who achieved greater than 333 FSB 24/7 STABLE with a quad core and this board, please discuss your settings if you would. Does one particular BIOS stand out for the quads? Thanks.
Ditto and I assume you're referring to the 266 (1066) strap. :)Quote:

Cheers :toast:
Yeah, 266 atm. I actually got my quad to post at 401 FSB on my P5WDG2 WS Pro before but I can't even get close to posting at 400 on this board. The flip side of this is how stable this board actually is. I know my chip can do it, I just want to make sure I'm getting the right tweaks. FSB is just more important for quads, so I want to make every effort to get it.Quote:

Goodness me.
I just got an awesome chip - one of the new E6600's that are performing very well - and it's doing me some good... just one thing seems to be holding me back.
Around 1.45v running orthos (and higher vcore even, and lower) my system will restart without warning - Orthos doesn't bug out first, it just restarts.
Perhaps someone can give some guidance?
My vMCH is at 1.6v and my vFSB at 1.4... memory is 1:1 at 400 4-4-4-12 2.2v (very lax for testing purposes.) EIST and C1E are off, of course. :) The temps are under control for sure, 27-30 at idle and no more than 60 load. Does the BX2 have an automatic shutoff around 75 or something (from the temp reading under the socket?)
Any suggestions?
Do any of the new BIOSes let you up the multi on a QX6700? Need an answer quick!
afireinside if the QX6700 has unlocked multipliers, then the answer is yes.
thx but unfortunately it didnt work :(Quote:

Well, the calculations will be correct but the other BIOSes don't provide the same settings as the XBX2 so things like "reference" and "memory" frequency might not have any meaning. The determination of the strap, which is directly related to the memory frequency, also won't apply to chipsets other than the 975X.Quote:

First build ever to boot up completely trouble free on the first try, gotta say I´m impressed so far, quite the performance boost from my old Athlon XP and 6800GT.:eek:
K, managed to get the 333 strap to work with the quad, which wasn't easy, but not with the 5:6 divider (333 - 800) that I needed. I've found that this board often needs a complete BIOS default reset before it will change some of the settings, even when moving to a known stable config :confused:. This happens even when manually powering off the comp after any BIOS change too.
It was maxing out at 333FSB with the QX6700 so I swapped out for an E6600 which seems to have a lot less issues than the quad btw. Anyways, I've managed to get it to the 400FSB I needed with around 1.625vMCH. Damn shame you can't change to a lower multi with non EE chips though cause it's running a little toasty even under a Tuniq Tower.
Oh and using an IDE drive I was able to boot straight to windows with an OS installed on a 965 chipset mobo so that got around the inability to install windows issue I was having on SATA drives.
Haven't tried a clean OS install with this board yet as I'm worried it will crash just like the SATA drives :(
Same thing here. This is now the third stick of Micron memory I have had go bad on this board. The first two were running at 2.4V, and the last was running at 2.2V. Everything on board was stock voltage wise; the only changes in my BIOS were my FSB and multi settings. All three sticks have been in slot 3. :(Quote:

I never gave them higher V than rated (2.2) and kept the timings within the spd range. I've tried all sorts of timing-loosening, upping vMCH, etc.
What's more: I've already RMA'd my previous badaxe2 which I thought may have been the original culprit in the memory related errors. The errors have continued with a new board! (on my previous sticks that I already RMA'd.) So, new board, new sticks of ram, same problem?
I can RMA the Teamgroup ram for the rest of my life. If I get another malfunctioning set of ram I'm gonna have to buy a new pair.
So my PC has been running great for weeks, until yesterday. Vista started crashing for no reason. Haven't installed anything (or any windows updates) so I knew it had to be hardware. Thought it was my memory, so I ran memtest86 for hours and hours, and it all checked out ok. Even worse, due to the crashing my user profile corrupted, so Vista started loading a "temporary" profile - such fun! Spent hours recovering my settings... if anyone is experiencing this, I have some tips for ya!
Bad news... it was my CPU. I don't know what's going on, but I had to up the voltage from 1.38 to 1.40v to make it Orthos stable again. It's been perfectly stable at 1.38v for many weeks, so now I'm worried. I remember hearing about processors that continually need more & more voltage to be stable - a sign that they're on their way out. I hope this isn't true!
Any advice?
Regards,
Sker
I've been getting the same problems with 2 different motherboards (both bx2's) and 2 sets of ram. The only thing that's been constant is the CPU. I'm wondering whether my problems also come from my CPU. If more info is available on this I would also be interested.Quote:

Those of you who are having memory/stability problems and are using "rated" voltages - have you tried putting a fan over the dimms? Or even get some air moving over the NB? I mean, just by getting some direct airflow over there will increase stability by a LOT.
I have an 80mm fan blowing air over the dimms, northbridge, and towards the outtake fan; I also have a 120mm side-fan blowing into the case directly onto the dimm/northbridge area. I wish it were as simple a problem as heat dissipation, I really do.Quote:

Perhaps you're right. Maybe it never was truly stable at 1.38v. Never gave me any trouble before though, then suddenly would start blue screening shortly after logins.Quote:

Hi all,
Maybe someone can help me determine if I was sent a used or RMA'd motherboard. I just received my Bad Axe 2 retail (975XBX2KR) from Microcenter, and I noticed the packaging was kinda scuffy looking. No big deal I thought, and I opened up the retail box and saw that the cables, I/O template, manual and disks were all just rattling around free in the upper part of the box (seperated from the motherboard by cardboard). Nothing was individually wrapped or secured aside from the motherboard itself and the usb add on riser (which were both sealed in anti-static bags). No added cushioning either.
I'm guessing all this is normal, but it seemed odd for a premium board's retail kit, and I just thought I'd ask.
Well I got my BX2 a few days ago.
Put everything together, NZXT Zero Case, Silverstone 560 Zeus PS, 2 gigs DDR2 800 Firestix, C2D e6600 (L706A499, 4/3/07), Enzotech Ultra-X CPU cooler, XFX GeForce 7900GS, 16X Lite-On Sata DVD Burner, 1ea. 250 GB Seagate Sata II and 1ea. 320 GB Seagate Sata II hard drive.
My goal is a relatively modest and stable 3.2 gHz out of the 6600.
Initial assembly was not a problem thanks to this thread (All of which I've read).
Unfortunately on initial boot the monitor showed only a few seconds of video signal and went blank. The board posted but couldn't find a boot device (there was none at the time).
I powered down, unplugged and waited a few seconds and tried again. I attempted to get into the BIOS this time. The screen flashed a couple of times and came up in the BIOS screen completely garbled. It was unreadable. Again I shut down to check that the Video card was properly seated in the Primary 16X pci-e slot and that the PCI-E connector from the PS was firmly attached. All was good connection-wise but from that point on I never again got another video signal from that card.
I didn't have another pci-e video card so I dug up an old S3 pci video card from many years ago (I knew there was a reason I held on to that thing). I was able to get a video signal and entered the BIOS to make sure that everything was being properly recognized. Everything looked OK.
I figured I would use my trusty Partition Magic 7.0 boot floppies to partition and format my hard drives. That was accomplished without incident.
I had a buddy of mine bring over his Box that contained a working GeForce 7600GT. I installed the 7600GT in my board and it worked great. I installed my 7000GS into his box and again there was no Video Signal.
So my build has hit a delay as I have RMA'd the video card as DOA.
I'm almost 100 percent certain that my problems reside with a faulty video card (Though I've learned that nothing is certain with computers). My guess is that the auxiliary pci-e power connector on the video card is bad since the card was acting like it wasn't getting enough power. My Silverstone PS is SLI-ready with 2ea. pci-e connectors and neither one made a difference with the video card (I have not checked the pci-e connectors with my multimeter yet so I guess it's possible that I have a bad PS). I didn't think to check the power supply until I had sent back the card.
Can anybody suggest another cause for my problem???
I'm hoping the replacement will function and I can get on with my life.
It figures, my first complete new build in about 6 years and I get a bum video card.
I just hope my chip is a good clocker.
Welcome, and that's normal. There's not much in the way of packaging.Quote:

Taiwan is the worst place to make electronics. every appliance i had that broke had "Made in Taiwan" on it.

It shouldn't be. Did you change out the thermal pad on the heatsink? If so, make sure it's making some good contact. Mines very very cool to the touch on stock. So, something is definitely wrong. But maybe that's because I threw some AS5 on mine.Quote:

Perhaps I have damaged the NB TIM ... it really is very hot. Although if I damaged the TIM the heatsink should actually be cooler i.e. heat isnt flowing from the chip to the heatsink as effectively. In that sense a hot heat sink is a good sign.
Should I take off the NB heatsink and redo the TIM with AS? :confused: i.e. have others found the stock TIM to be poorly applied.
The CPU itself seems to run fine at stock ~ 45*C with an Artic Freezer 7.
replace the TIM as sucks anyways atleast for overclocking.
Hi
Just picked up a Q6600 for my BX2.. one issue so far:
I`m in maintenancemode, but i can`t find how to disable "watchdog"? Where is it?
I suggest using the 2333 bios instead
That`s the one I`ve got..Quote:

So, I went in BIOS and disable all the fan controls (CPU and system fan control). Then I noticed that one of the fans wasn't running constantly anymore, and my temp dropped to 40-42. Also the full load temp are never beyond 56. My case has 2 fans, rear and front and my CPU has the Tuniq Tower on top of it. I have the Tuniq fan set to max, but honestly I'm not sure if that's the loud fan that comes on once in a while, I can't figure it out. The interesting part is that the loud fan seems to be kicking in only when I launch Internet Explorer. I tried tons of other applications and it seems that only IE triggers it. It stays on for a while and then it goes silent again or maybe it just spins at a lower speed, not sure, but my whole rig is quiet then.
Any idea guys if this is normal? Should I let the CPU and the system control the fans?
So far I`m at 3.150 ghz with my Q6600. Prime stable 4 hours def vcore.. in XP..
I decided to instal Vista 64, but during the instal I got random bluescreens. :stick:. i tried running everything at default, but still bluescreens during instal...
Is there a known issue with B:confused: X2 and Vista
Did you flash the BIOS to the latest BIOS version ? the latest included many fixes for the Vista issues.Quote:
