LOL... sorry for my *perfect* Enghlish!!! :rofl::rofl:
I will try to rephrase the question.:)
I'd like to put an EK-SB6 waterblocks on my XFX 780i southbridge... so, reading the EK compatibility list the wb is reported as compatible.
Now, my question is... there may be problems to plug the tube on the ek connectors since my vga (xfx 8800gts 512) has a 2 slot stock-cooler?
Hope that now, my question is clear! :p:
Thanks in advance!! :up:
What about bios P06(newest)
I flashed the newest bios P06..
I like, anybody was flashed too?
cya
I flashed to P06, seems to work well.
I still have a FSB wall right around 475FSB that I can't seem to overcome. Anyone have any suggestions on that?
I'm quite sure I can break 4.5GHz easily if I can get that issue taken care of. I'm not quite ready to give up SLI yet ;)
thanks
anyone hitting 500fsb (2000qdr) with any of the new bios images? i'm running p05p and am stable at 475*8, but I can't even get the system to post at 500. wondering if i'm not putting enough voltage through it or if i don't have something set correct, or of course, the board just won't do it. would be nice to run 500 1:1.
I'm looking for something to replace my Striker. Don't really want to spend anything 200+, but do you guys recommend this board? Does it over clock well with Q6600? what are some know issues? thanks guys appreciated.
im running my 8500 at 500x9 for 24/7.. nb voltage on auto.. using p05 bios, ram linked 1:1Quote:

So far so good for me :)

Hello you all,
It seems like I cant get my Q6600 G0 over 3.0GHZ stable. My rig looks like this:
Q6600 G0
780i
2x2GB Mushkin 8500 (996599)
280GTX
850W thermaltake toughpower
Zalman 9700
I didnt do vdroop mod yet. I'd like to get my CPU to 3.4 prime stable 24/7, but it seems like it can't be done.
I tried about everything for a stable 3.2.
Max Voltages I used for 3.2ghz were:
Vcore 1.425
FSB 1.4
SPP 1.45
MCP 1.525
Rest on Auto
It didnt get stable. Always prime errors after an hour or so. I tried 8x400, QDR = 1600, 9x355 .. I thought maybe it's an FSB hole. So I went for 9x400, didnt work either. I also tried to run the RAM linked and synched. unlinked 1066 didnt work either. Not stable.
I read on the other thread that users with 4gb of ram should put 1.5V on the SPP (NB).. I am afraid of this because it's already highlighted in red. I'll need this computer for another 2 years or so. Do you think NB voltage could play a role?
Settings for stable 3GHZ:
QDR= 1333
Vcore = 1.250
Rest on Auto
Temps Load small FFS on prime95: 55 55 49 49 in Coretemp.
8x400 = 3.2ghz, ram at 800.. vcore 1.375 in bios, get's prime error after about 1.5h.
What am I missing here? I'd love to push my system a little further.
Thanks,
Simon
Can someone point me to the heat pipe PAD MOD real quick please? I had it bookmarked but fat fingered the delete key...........
could i get some proven stable 1800fsb volt settings for a quad core?
thanks
P06 BIOS let me put my memory to 986 stable with 2.1v on the ram without errors in OCCT / Prime95.
I have P07 and going to try further, if not im going to tweak my timings
Cant get mine to post again after shutting down the previous night. Just get code FF on LCD on the board. Fans spin up, lights turn on. Sound like cpu? changed the sticks of ram out individually, pulled the cmos for a day (tried a diff battery, too), changed video cards, unplugged every drive. That day or the previous day I booted up and for some reason the molex on my D5 got knocked a little loose, and saw on my Everest OSD that I was at 70c and my pump wasnt running. I shut down immediately, dont think those temps shoulda killed it for that short period of time. The cores have been running mid 50's at best while running 3.8 at 1.38v since I bought it half a year ago.
I'm using a QX9650 in my one if that helps?Quote:

i want to get it higher i been able to get it to 4.2, but it stays stable for about 2-3 hours on prime95, i was able to get it to get to the desktop at 4.5ghz but wasnt stable and caused the one board audio to fail.
what should i do to get a higher oc?
my e8500 (on my evga 780i) boots into windows @ 500x9 on 1.4vcore. stock NB and SB cooling...
Just a quickie, do these Nvidia boards have a better mem controller then the X48's? cause this 780i PWNS my X48 in mem timing and overclock...
it just did 2.05v 4x1gig sticks 1100mhz 5-4-4-14... my X48 couldn't do that if its life depended on it.
I recently was considering selling my RAID card. When I installed my drives using the on board RAID it had some sorry through-put. (120mb/s. On my ASUS P5W I was easily getting 240mb/s). I figured I would upgrade my BIOS and chipset but, still had the same results. Has anyone else had this problem?
Jim
Is anyone else having an issue with the on-board RAID? Mine is only reaching 120mb/s with three SSD's in RAID0. I was using a RAID card and was considering selling it until I hooked up my drives to the on-board set-up. MAN TALK ABOUT SORRY!!! needless to say i am keeping my areca.
yes keep the areca. As long as you dont plan on 3-way sli, the areca is the way to go.
Yeah, on board RAID sucks on the 780i. Best off getting/using a decent hardware RAID card :)
It looks like the Nvidia control center is reseting the FSB everytime it enters Windows, to an unmaintainable level. How do you turn it off? Note that if it is used to push the FSB and it hangs during a test, there is no way to change it back before the boot.
Thanks!
There is someone on another forum that is having problems with the 780i PC setup. They currently use:
Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ stock 2.4GHz
OCZ 4GB DDR2800
EVGA 8800GT
EVGA Nvidia 780i Mobo (integrated sound)
Windows Vista Ultimate x64
Problems are but may not be limited to:
1) Random shut-downs. He leaves his computer on all the time, and since around Christmas when he got the game he will wake up to it completely turned off and it will ask to boot to safe mode when he turns it on
2) Graphical issues; grainy video while playing FC2 then sometimes monitor goes into standby, sometimes computer shuts down
3) Boot-up issue; sometimes he has to press the power button multiple times to start the computer. he notices that the lights in his Antec 900 case will flash when this happens (I'm unsure if it is every time he presses the button or just once)... THIS IS LIKELY UNRELATED! He let me know he has had this issue since he can remember on this machine (about 8 months old).
4) Registry Corruption. A OS reinstall was required to fix the problem
What has been tried so far or looked into:
-temps of the CPU, GPU, southbridge chipset
-The video card was replaced for a 9800 GTX+
-Various driver updates
-etc
This is the gist of it for now. Is there anyone out their that can offer some help on the situation?
Just used the pencil mod, and now my CPUZ reports the same voltage as BIOS. My QX9*50 is operating at the intended voltage. 4.1GHz with more headroom :D
I picked up a EVGA 780i and put my 6750 on it. With my out of town work it's just been running stock. well I finally had a chance to work with this setup over the last couple of days. I have to say the 780i board and windows 7 64bit has been the most fun I've had in a long time. Not one BSOD or hard crash. windows7 seems to be very stable OS. Anyways here is some of my OC'ing results
My rig
EVGA780i
E6750 GO
2xEVGA 8800GTX
Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 (16FD5)
Seventeam Hurricane 1200W
Cooling modified CoolIt freezone
