I had something like this happen on the EVGA version of the 680i. If you run your ram at a prolonged period at 2.4v+, then I think sometimes the low boot voltage can be a problem. I wonder why running one stick in a different slot boots it though.Quote:

Boosty
The nb works best with 1.5v and downwards, over 1.5 is not as stable on my board even with a good fan and airflow (using stock heatsink with fans).
atm i'm running orthos belnd at around 1775, with loose timings at 900mhz 2T. Any tighter and orthos fails quite quckly (blend test). the best way for noobs to oc on this board unlinked for orthos is to use spd timings first to get a feel for the cas at relative cpu fsb. I hope the 0508 bios bingo has is better..
to be blunt it's not as easy as knowing your max ram speed from the intel chipsets and setting the same unlinked and maxxing out cpu fsb, single pi runs aside any stringent load and the board bsods or borks loading xp and that's after intensive fiddling with all individual voltages.

sounds like this mobo isnt gonna be the golden one....how sad!Quote:

on the 9x multi, I can boot up to around 1830 and around 1900 on the 8x. orthos blend wise you're looking at a max of around 450 or so with the current bios. some users have already noticed a strap change at the 1700 mark on the evga board. I have found that so far these boards with solid caps are great for big boot ups (solid caps are great in pulse applications), though absolute stability is a little lower.

wow- not looking too great for this overpriced monster.. gah! well.. we have a few more boards which are due out soon(ish). the Abit.. and the MSI! Then DFI in Jan?? I am personally hoping the MSI 680i variant with the onboard X-Fi will be good.. fingers X'd!
yeah and i thought it was gonna make a big difference.Maybe the DFI is gonna do some wonders i hope since it's been delayed soo much!Quote:

At 1864 x 9 i can run blend as long as you want with the memory at 1000+, but if i set the memory to 999, it wont even post. If you move the fsb up or down a little, then you can run 999 all day long again, its all about the straps. Ive tested as much as 2120 fsb without issues as well, but after that the nb wants more volts for stability and the heat really starts coming up causing it to bsod quite often, after finals ill mess with it more. Also, i dont know if you noticed or not, but the board is very power hungry, so a good powersupply is a must.Quote:

Also My fsb is lower than others as I don't concentrate on superpi as much. Only really Orthos blend for at least 12hours, after that I do some work with superpi. ATM the only results that interest me are screenshots at 9xmulti and over for at least 8hours using blend and cpu-z showing motherboard, cpu and ram.
I will post my results here soon.
This chipset is new to me and I definatley am willing to give it time, I worked on the infinity for 3 months and it finally came real good.I'm hoping that we see the same with this.
thanks man

@Raju
My evga is 12 hours orthos stable @ 1860FSB using P19 bios E6400 & G. SKill. I can't seem to get 2000FSB linked, unlinked, P21 or P20 bios. All my voltages were set to auto except cpu, mem & FSB. If the Striker suppose to be the best, I'm not very optimistic about the current 680i boards. I too am waiting for retail boards from DFI's 680 or RD600. Im very hopeful of Abits IN9 32-Max though.
thx buddy, that sounds about right for a e6400. BTW the lower I drop the multi the higher it'll go (to an extent, at 7x I should nbe able to get to your mark stable) but it defeats the object tbh. I'm looking at the 9x multi atm, and I can boot all the way upto 1887 it just fails to get into xp. I also find that the ram timings need to be stupidly loose to get there. Where Orthos blend is running upto 1775 on the 9x multi which is plenty for air and water, but certainly not enough for phase.
I just wanna see someone else Orthos blend on the 9x multi and see whether my failure us ram or bios related. I already know the minimum my cpu can do.

@Raja
Added link to 6400 on Evga 680i in sig. My E6600 L628B070 should be here just before Xmas. I'll see what I come up with then. Of course we will all be playing with the retail RD600 by then. :)
maybe it's my es cpu.. lol..

nice results raja(the screenie in your sig) of the evga mobo....465fsb and 12 hours orthos stable...very nice...would you care to share some mem sub timings?
it's not an evga it's an asus striker xtreme!mine on the way anyway tooQuote:

If you want more then that id be happy to do it, but your gonna have to wait until after finals, as i just dont have the time right now. Max fsb i tested was 2000, but my cpu wasnt quite stable with 1.5v, and i ran out of time for testing, needed this computer back up for finals.Quote:

During spring break though, id be happy to work with you and see what we can do with these boards. One thing i noticed though, you said you needed loose timings for higher fsb, The timings for my memory had no impact on the fsb though, they had a dramatic impact on bandwidth, and not all THAT much on super pi, this was unlinked by the way. Highest i really tested memory to was 1200 and that was with loose timings, 5-5-5 and the bandwidth sucked like that, so for now i left it at the default 4-4-5-8 @ 1002 until spring break.
what bios are you using?
I am using 0502, if you have 0402 please let me know.

raja
Could someone post links to the BIOS please... Thanks!

Im looking for the latest greatest bios too. It seems like everytime I have a boot problem i have to reset my bios and it getting pretty old. Im using the bios that was on the board when shipped. Also what voltage are you guys using for the high FSB's? They go up so high i am really nervous of giving it to much juice but I have run my es e6700 at 4.6 ghz with my modded mach II but so far am hitting stability walls at NB = 1.65, SB = 1.65, HT = 1.55, no clue what that last setting is cpu VTT but gave it 1.55 and ran into stability issues at 4.4ghz... Also does anyone know a vdroop mod for this board?
For what its worth the LCD display actually is useful...surprize surprize. I was having posting problems and thought my CPU was the culprit well i just for kicks checked out the lcd and it stated vdimm init err. Well I pulled a stick of the team extreem and it booted fine...not sure if the ram really has a problem or if something else is causing it but it did at least identify a real issue that gave me a clue for resolving.Quote:

try vnb at 1.2v or 1.4v max, you might find more stability believe it or not...

Com'on guy's, take a break from posting how great the BIOS is and post a link...
