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

my settings for 402FSB in BIOS:

vMCH = 1.70v

vcore = 1.425v ( but this is not the vcore I run orthos, why? because this is not the vcore I set in OC Guru!)

vdimm = 2.1v

Blend test Priority 9 stable.

umm raju was saying that over 400 is hard, not 400 itself.

he said once over 400MHz FSB it would be unstable. I delibrately set 402 instead of 400.

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.

ok now do it at 410 and 420 :rolleyes:

raju said everyone is roughly around 10mhz of him, 402 is within 10 of 398, you merley validated his point thus far.

Watercooling on the board is doable. But help it's a lot for my higher FSB?

This night i ran 5h Orthos small FFts with no Error. Following settings I used:

FSB: 425 MHz
VMCH: 1,9V
Multiplier: 7 --> ~2,98 GHz @ default VCore (just testing for the highest FSB)
VDimm: 2,35V (or 2,45V, I can't remember, just 4h sleep tonight^^)
RAM Timings: 5-5-5-12 (for testing)

Subtimings are default.

Why is blend difiicult to pass? I thought blend will test CPU and RAM. Is it more difficult for the integrated memory controller in the northbridge? Small FFts just say, that my CPU is running fine and not the motherboard, am I right?

Thanks for the great help!

even at 2.0 vMCH BIOS the NB is just little warm

Get a fan on the NB and go 1.9 2.0 V , i have no problems running 24/7 430X9 with E6600, before the active fan on it i was pretty unstable higher than 400.
Can also run benches at 440X9 but is rather instable.

Well using here a Vapo LS on cpu but really can do 430 with like 1.46 Vcore perhaps with even less volts not tested 1.46 vcore is a joke to cold down for my vapo.

Before the fan my NB dissipator was pretty hot even at 1.6 Vmch , alll passive cooling was redone with as5.
I think who feel NB is not hot is having heat transfer problems.
Change the stock thermal pads with a good paste !

Tower 120 would block some of the NB sink if installed onto the usual position (air blowing out the "MAX" words, the PS/2 ports)

need some adhesives in order to stick it firmly.

no problems with tower 120 here... no contact or whatever...

Guys,

new beta of BIOS 13 just arrived in my mailbox. I flashed it with Flashmenu, no problems. The BIOS is dated 10/11. Changelog as follows:

Quote:

A beta BIOS M606C_12.B03 has released for :

*To support Conroe-L CPUs(FSB800)
*To support Conroe Extreme (X6800) CPU's Multiplier range from 6 to 31
*Update CPU micro code to support Kentsfield B3 version
*Added DRAM timing option "Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC)"

*Wrong naming of Bios(12_B03), it should be a 13 beta BIOS 1.

Suggestion: 30,/31 Multiplier works perfectly :

Great! Now I have a new BIOS to test at home. Just 1h and 20 minutes left and I'm finished with work! :banana:

Hey,

Sorry to butt in dudes, but just wondering if this board has any annoying "issues" like the other 1st gen boards (cold boot, USB, memory compaibility etc.)? Or does it just sort of work properly out of the box?!

Cheers,

Suman

I think mine came with a dead cmos battery and I as well as others have trouble with orthos blend over 400fsb (but its system stable everything else). Besides that, the board is really nice and I am extremely pleased with it.

Don't know if it's a dead cmos battery, another friend and mine have a problem with the bios resetting to default almost everytime we turn off the pc.

Getting it orthos stable is strange, set to 402fsb, needed 1.85vmch at least. Primed to 9 hours once and failed. then sometimes it'll do 3 hours, 2 hours or so, kind of crazy..........

One question:
Why do you guys think that the mobo is "unstable" with prime and NOT prime itshelf........
ALL programs crasses once in a while no matter what.......WHY don't you try something else too, except prime?......

Due to problems with Megaupload and the file being temporarily not available, I host the file somewhere else now. The download link should work again.

my second board came with a dead battery. Took me two days to realize it since nothing would save in the bios. It would refuse to get into windows cause it will halt on all errors even though I set it on no errors in bios.

seems Abit has a lot of dead batteries in its factory :D

this is how Tower 120 blocks the NB sink...
