I am using a flexible SLI bridge Ranger gave me from his P5WD2 Premium.(Might have been a P5WD2-E(975X))

Why won't this work:confused:

Mine was doing the same thing, but I was trying to run Quad SLI, I might try the two 7800GTs, to see if it does that as well.

There are the PEG settings in the BIOS which may also assist. I saw somewhere else a mention of them.

What do I do to the PEG settings?

EDIT:

Found one that works:

Also, what is the max temperature I can run the CPU at when Orthos is running? My machine turned off when ASUS probe clicked 65C, is that the cut-off?

Hi guys,
I must be doing something wrong here because my PFWDG2 WS Pro board won't go over 377MHz FSB??

Using 0004 BIOS (Coolaler's)
2Gb OCZ Titanium PC8000, running 1:1, 5-5-5-15
X6800 @ 2.64GHz 7x multi

Is there a key BIOS setting I need to disable/enable to get a higher FSB?

Some X6800 has FSB BIOS bug, such as my X6800 and my friend X6800 cannot over 390+ on Bios set.

you have read delay set at 7 in chipset mem timings?

No, 65 is not the cut off per se,, but it sounds like something is stressing your overclock. What vcore are your running at?

Right now I am running at 1.4 vcore, and front side bus of 370. When runng Orthos after 12 hours, the temperature was 58C from ASUS Probe.

Oh, and not sure if this is at all relevant, but when I check the CPU temperature in the BIOS I am usually around 27C.

I am running 1.4, because I was told that going over that is not good/safe/etc. for a 24/7 type of setup.

Maybe that's my problem, it will always boot at 375MHz but fails sometimes at 377MHz and never boots any higher, what windows program do you use to get it to 470Mhz, Crystalmark? It would be my luck to get a dodgy chip, then again it could be user error :slapass: :(

Yeah, that and setting trfc to 42 allowed me to get it up to the ASUS Ai booster max setting of 450MHz before it locked up from what I think was overheating. I can get it stable (I think) at 410MHz in windows but I'll keep trying higher.

Have you tried Core Temp? I prefer that to ASUS probe.

Yeah, the temp is usually one 1C higher than ASUS Probe.

I only say X6800 and I didn't use X6800 to oc 470+.

E6300~E6700 is no FSB problems.

Asus probe turns the comp off once it hits 65c, just use core temp! :)

I get a difference of around 10C higher with core temp under load.

That's a great picture of you in your avatar BTW :D , Gday from Australia :ocau: ;)

AndrewYang or xgman, can you save your CMOS settings using the BIOS program and post a link to it? Let me know which BIOS you're using and I'll load the CMOS file and see if I can get the same FSB as you with your settings.

Thanks :) but I've tried 0206, 0307 and am using 0004 now as it allows CPU multi higher than 11x.

From the BIOS O.C Profile utility, you can save the current CMOS settings to disk. If someone with this board unmodded and an FSB over 400Mhz could do that and send it to me I'd be very gratefull. Please also let me know the BIOS you're using as it wont load otherwise.

When I flashed to the new bios from 0004 my asus probe temps went up 10c+

I run:

1.8vmch
1.5vfsb

and I can do over 400+ FSB.

Make sure you are running enough vore for your cpu to get that fsb!

I've been tweaking all weekend and almost seem to be going backwards?

I'm using 0004 BIOS.
If I use FSB 300x12 I can get to 3.6GHz dual 32M stable with 1.5vmch and 1.4vfsb (on auto setting the comp uses 1.38v but I use 1.4 just in case of Vdroop) so I don't think it's a lack of Vcore. (I've tried settings up to 1.5vcore just in case)

PC won't boot at 327x11 with 1.5vmch and can only complete a single 32M run at 1.7vmch. It will occasionally boot 360x10 at 1.7 but not stable and at 1.8vmch it will boot to windows but won't complete a single 32M run. (please note I am dropping the RAM dividers when changing FSB so as to not over reach on my RAM)

I've disabled all the automatic thermal reduction features in BIOS, I've raised the tRD from 7 through to 13, I've tried upping the tRFC to 42 and still no stable results. In fact, I seem to be going backwards.

I'm really only used to AMD CPUs so maybe there is something blindingly obvious with getting Intel systems to a high FSB that I'm unaware of.

I found that my board overvolts Vcore something shocking, sorry about the pun :D. I can run 3.6GHz at 1.4v dual 32m stable but to get that I have to set the CPU VCore Voltage to 1.35V in BIOS.

Maybe try that and see if it's stable, it should drop the temps.

Is there any way to increase the boot time from the USB recognition to the point wher the XP logo shows?

wats that program in ur picture called ? it shows vcore,cpu,mb and other things. http://www.iamxtreme.net/andre/WSPRO-473.JPG

I would only use these dividers:
1:1
4:5
2:3

at 1.5v core bios I could easily prime @ 3100 mhz(~345fsb) and passed a dual 1m @ 3300 mhz(~367 fsb)

at 1.6v core bios I could easily prime at 3600(~400fsb) and dual 32m @ 3700(412 fsb)

Make sure your ram isnt walling and you are not using the overclocked dividers.(the dividers that overclock your northbridge-- like 712 divider @ 266 fsb)

It's the latest version of ASUS probe.

Just so everyone is clear on this, the northbridge strap serves as a baseline for the CPU to establish its own frequency. It's not the same thing as a memory strap. A lot of former AMD users seem a little confused about this. Bad Axe users are probably more aware of all of this because there are NB strap settings in the BIOS.

How do you set a northbridge strap with this motherboard? I'm guessing it's the DRAM frequency??? I've tried different settings with that and still no luck.
