you will probably top out around 380-390 with 2395. As with any BIOS ever, don't update unless it directly fixes something that you find wrong, or you want the hassle of messing with it and are a masochist:p:Quote:

Yes that is how you shut off C1E.
Power slope gives your processor more juice, not too sure how else to explain it. Think of it as raising your voltage a bit on your own but the board does that automatically for you.
hmm I have mounted it for about 3 hours does the grease take time to get its fully power?
I have swaped the tower carefully in all directions and there is no change to the temp!
I think 2395 is what killed my board. =/
It can take up to a week for the thermal grease to cure but that at max will give you maybe a 5c difference. Did you check to see if there is a good imprint from your chip on your heatsink? If there is bad contact from having a malformed chip you will get high temperatures. You can always try lapping both items if you are adventurous and don't mind killing a warranty.
In what way omastar?
yes, you are perfect on how to disable C1E ;)Quote:

turn it off unless you are worried about hackers:p:
On the first HS there was on all edges a little bit rough but nothing in the middle of the HS.
On the new one I donīt know because the HS is about 3hours on it I will check this in a few days.
After I flashed to 2395 using Intel's stupid recommended fashion (the .exe way), I had no problems for hours until I shut it down and rebooted the next day and it wouldn't POST. Only the fans/lights/mobo LEDs would power on, but the fans would never cycle down below 100% speed and I'd never get a successful POST regardless of how many times I swapped jumper positions, cleared CMOS, etc. It's just a flawed BIOS. Really made me just want to beat something.Quote:

Ouch that must have hurt.
Okay, so what about the VT is that for Virtualization technology about dual booting or something?
VT doesn't really serve a purpose unless you're going to be emulating another OS inside Windows. You don't need it for dual booting since that's not running a virtual OS inside of your main OS.Quote:

Is the board back up and running or are you on another computer?
I'm on my Core Duo laptop which I finally got back from my dad right now. Waiting for my replacement board. I sent the old one back to Tigerdirect yesterday (it died on Saturday).
Did you try setting the jumper to nothing and using a floppy to fix the bios?
I dont think C1E is such a bad thing. According to Intel's explanation, it only lowers your voltages when your cpu is idling to save power. Under load, C1E shuts down and your voltages go back to normal. Mine is on and I'm not having any problems @ 400 FSB.
you disable C1E with the jumper @ clear ...in the bios
I left it at default
It causes vDroop. That is, the voltage of the CPU 'droops' between load and idle and we want to avoid that as much as possible, especially under load.Quote:

I do not really know how, but the board has a jumper setting for fixing a bad bios with a floppy. You take the jumper off, shove in a recovery diskette and it is supposed to fix it.
C1E may not be bad but it caused an insane amount of trouble with my board, I got the dreaded blue screen of death anytime I did something that had a lot of load in it, multi-tasking, gaming, stress testing etc. Since it has been off I haven't gotten any. Down with C1E!
I have to agree with you on this one. From my understanding, the voltage decreases as well as the cpu speed so the droop effect really isn't there. Also, really helps on the temps. I haven't had any issues with it enabled (nor EIST) so I like to follow the philosophy that if it ain't broken, don't fix it! :)Quote:

So the recovery disk would auto-exec when I set the jumper to Recovery mode and put the disk in?

I'm testing this out right now with 2395. I was hitting some kind of a wall earlier at 3.5: just about anything above 3.495 (9x388) would be unstable.Quote:
