Ha ha, i cant understand this board. Yesterday i can do 32m with Quad af 480FSB. And today cant load Windows at 470 :shrug:

lol i hope my 600MHz setup doesn't worsen

i never seem to have issues doing previously stable settings i usually save in bios (F11) but now that you guys mention it i do have to say that my last EP45-Extreme(DDR2) board kinda started losing stability from 6.2GHz to about 6 ghz during one session but hard to say if it wasn't just moisture or something

Precedent Everest test with F4b
Same settings with F3 Bios
The F4b is better for up the memory frequency and bandwith :)

Hi guys,

I can only get the 2.00D multiplier to work, is their any other multi's that seem to work? because if i change it to any other, windows wont boot.

I have my q9550@3.8 (450*8.5).

Is there any main settings i should tweak?
I only have the OCZ 1333 reapers, but running them at 900 is a bit of a joke:down:
09-27-2008, 04:16 PM
x2s3w4

This is my RAM and this is my motherboard.
I was running into some strange things with both of them and I started trying different things. Here's everything at stock settings.

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...rgepol/ni4.jpg

Doesn't it seem strange that there is no SPD column for stock settings?
Second I can run at 4.1Ghz with my RAM timings at 5-5-5-13 and 8-8-8-24, but I can't even POST at 7-7-7-20. My RAM voltage is 1.8.

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...rgepol/ni1.jpg
http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...rgepol/ni2.jpg

I've also had some other issues with this board and I'm wondering if all of my issues are RAM related issues.
Is there something strange here or is it totally normal and it's the first time I've seen anything like this?
Please ignore the voltage for now, I was also trying out something else when I found this.

Or could this be a bug like the CPUz and the E8600?

@ x2s3w4

It's an archive extractor executable, exactly like you'll find in english ver's.
Just select your destination (Durchsuchen..)
and hit the extract button top right.
You'll get the f4b bios file ...in english
09-29-2008, 06:25 PM
dinos22

or just use winRAR and do a direct extraction

My "700mhz dual core actived ready EP45T-Extreme" is dead :(

So, are newers boards based on the rev A3 of P45 ?
10-21-2008, 01:06 PM
NapalmV5

sorry guys but far from "extreme" dq6 deserves to be dubbed extreme

1.80vtt @ extreme

1.94vtt @ dq6

so much for extreme

the cpu part of the mobo is good but the culprit is the ddr3

im able to system boot q9650 up to 4.8ghz 534x9 but no os boot @ 4.8 neither @ 4.5

ive tried different ratios/mem timings vdimm @ 2.5 actual 2.7

you guys have any suggestions/recommendations/tips/what not on how i can get it to os boot on my 2 x 1GB supertalent 2000ddr3

im deciding whether to get more ddr3 kits or just get another dq6 and be done with it..

anyone info about quad and ddr3 fsb-performance?

has someone over quad cpu's (like q9650) and ddr3 (like Pc3-16000 Dimms) performance information about FSB trough the NB and Dimms?

I gave up on my E8600 and got a Q9550 and it clocks pretty good on this board. I guess I just had an awful E8600 OCer.
My Q9550 can get up to 4.2 at only 1.45vcore and is stable at 4.0.
I didn't take another shot of it after an hour however I plan on running Orthos again this weekend after more tweaking.

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...epol/Q9550.jpg

I noticed something else on this board. I guess the new E0 stepping is equipped with some new power saving features. The E0 has C1E, C2E and C4E I guess it's progressively a better power saving feature in the BIOS. When I put the Q9550 C0 stepping those features went away except for the C1E that's been around for a while.
Either that or it's just available for dual core and not quad core.

Q9650 4.7GHz small prime95 test - http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/6528/quadprime1.jpg

And some tests with the magic F4f BIOS

E8400 @6GHz validated - http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1222852

E8200 @5360MHz validated - http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1222958 (cant go higher even with lower multy. Very good chip but not a good one for high FSB)

775 will never die :D.

It was something like that the freq I booted and rising with ET6 for more. Most voltages on auto I was too lazy to set all manual :D. Not sure for the MCH Core 1.64 or 1.7v for 692 fsb, but for sure its working with 1.56 about 670. Also 670 Pl10 not a problem with memory 1340 @5-5-5-15, just left it 15 to be sure it is not stopping me.

The_Game

The most important settings are CPU/MCH clock skews and of course VTT. For dual core keep the diffrence at 150. For example CPU clock skew 150, MCH clock skew 0, or CPU 300, MCH 150(CPU 200 or MCH 50 just experiment. I have tested about 4-5 diffrent 8xxx CPUs all of them are working fine with 150 diffrence between CPU and MCH skew and no problem reaching 650FSB which was the maximum with F4 BIOS). CPU termination 1.6v is the perfect one if u are lazy to try MCH reff manually like me :D if u are not u can try to set it and eventually u ll lower the VTT. And for sure if u are going for fsb u have to use F4f BIOS I tried many and cant go over 650-660 with other one. Also keep 2.00D for the memory if u get the right settings u can try for higher RAM multi :).
Good luck!

The time is bad I was just trying the max FSB. I think it can past even higher may be 680 fsb the CPU maximum is arround 5750-5800MHz, didnt tried with lower multy.
