This is where im at so far, no corruptions that i know of, rock solid.

NVM, I think I remember having seen your setting in one of Natalia's threads.
( Ratio 5x ) SPP<->MCP Clock 210MHz :D
Yesterday I had a thought... "mid" & "high" memory overclocks seem to be triggering the corruption thingy... what if... the issue's sourcing from SPP to MCP data transfers ?
Yes, now we've got more things to test & see if they help in getting a stable corruption-free system :D
Hi m8,
Exactly.
It looks like the 9800GTX doesn't "overclock itself" ( switch over to the PCIe BUS Frequency as reference clock ) with the PCI-Express BUS Frequency, like the 9600GT does ( raising the PCI-Express BUS Frequency with a 9600GT graphics card results in higher core clocks on the card since it's switching to and using the PCI-Express BUS Frequency as a reference clock ) [ the higher the PCI-Express BUS Speed the higher the graphics cards' GPU core clock frequency goes ].
Going from 100MHz to 110MHz and then to 120MHz should've affected the card's clocks enough to raise my scores ( about 2000pts in AquaMark 3 should've been gained ), but it didn't.
That's on a Striker II Extreme with BIOS v0601.
Hello!
I have a problem, i am installing the moyherboard eVga 790i ultra for first time, but I have some problems...
Already I have installed windows xp but now nothing loads me ... it does not leave me to enter..
I don't know that can happen...
Thank you very much
Yes, they are both enabled.... @ TekJunie, here are my settings, but you should note that SE2 and eVGA boards act a bit different.....
fsb = 1800
mem = 1800 sync mode 8-7-7-24-2t 2.00V
cpuv 1.30v in bios
fsb = 1.30v
spp = 1.40v
mcp = 1.55v
pci-e = 120mhz
ht = 250mhz
all cpu settings disabled, spread spectrums disabled, 450 is the probably the best setting for this chipset and my cpu combo.
It's in Xp mate. Download here http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_...ools_6.01.htmlQuote:
@RLM, the ntune screen shot is from XP or vista? The nTune in my XP installation does is not giving me options to change voltages from windows.
I believe I've read some complaints with these utilities, but no probs for me so far. You can also edit all your bios settings, but it needs a restart.
There some more info on ESA here

Wow, GAR you one lucky guy. a Q9450 at 450FSB with 1.30v thats a nice OC. Hopefully mines will be like that :D
BTW, did you stop there because of temps or because it wont go higher?
Hey BenchZ, isnt more stable to keep the SPP MCP Clock speed to 200Mhz?, with 680i I remember it was best to just leave it on 200mhz, does it really make a difference on 790i?
Well thats what I guessed. Dont worry, 45nm Quad @ 3.6Ghz is NOT bad ;)
I think the highest I have seen is 500Mhz FSB but with lowered multiplier, something that doesnt bring good perfomance sometimes.
yeah im happy with my setup intill nehalem in mid 2009, is when i will upgrade again.....besides my video card.
i can answer that one for you man
YES!!!
Is anybody running any kind of RAM 1T on the 790i. I am asking this because my Gskill F3-12800CL7D-2GBHZ arrived today and I ran Memtest @ the rated timing and speed of the RAM(1600 7-7-7-18 1T 1.9V)and I get a whole lot of errors in memtest. But, with the same setting in BIOS, except that I change it to 2T and then all the error goes away for 2 passes. Now I am running 1900 @7-7-7-18 2T @ 1.9V and I am on 98% in memtest as I type this.
This is on the S2E with E3110.
