You must have missed the part of the AMD specific. The AMD specific pots were only square and only offered mounting for AMD.
You have the intel variant, not sure about clearance with that.

Thank you for clearing that up so politely.Quote:

The orginal venom was designed for AMD, the version you have was tuned for gulfy, and also has AMD mounting.
Yes I do believe that the tuned for gulfy pot will fit, but I can not confirm so not having the pot.
A discussion about the difference in performance of the 2 pots and what/how they are tuned is best played out in another thread.
Still doing testing however i believe in this post the board may have dropped a channel.

Well to see what i'm seeing you need to go for 2000 ram at high htt which should not be an issue considering the ram is only running at "stock".
I have already verified htt up to 333 is stable, the problem is when you go for a higher ram speed.
I agree. High ram speed together with high HTT will result in stability issues at bootup without careful tuning. This normally results in dropping a stick of ram along with MRL being out of whack. Which is why such configurations really need to have Task Manager or a comparable utility posted along with any screenshots to show that all memory is being used.Quote:

Yah the only discrepancy I see with that is cpu plays a rather large role there, example my 1055T which is a total dud ( on purpose ) has trouble at higher frequency speeds memory wise with high htt, swapping cpu's continually changes this.
A 1090T that I have good IMC written on ( known good to 445 htt on certain boards ) has no trouble however.
The rest of the cpu's vary as well, somewhere in the range of 6 I have checked so far.
any updates on new BIOS 0705?
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD...mula/#download
Crosshair V Formula 0705 BIOS
1. Improve memory compatibility
2. Improve system stability
3. Fix USB 7/8 not work issue
4. Fix system may hang when use with Adaptec ASR-5805 Raid card
5. Add Spanish and Russian to BIOS steup.
sidenote: congrats on world record ;)
what bios you guys using on the CH5 mobos at the event? custom bulldozer bios? hehe :)
Beta bios's that i work with are specific to bulldozer, tbh thuban functionality with dozer agesa is basic functionality and just that, nothing more so useless to endusers at this time and personally not reccomended for thuban.Quote:

very interesting!Quote:

Just got this board today:up:
Tuning it with a 955:D
DAMNIT; I just got all excited by the title of this thread,... Only to find out it is not Winbond CH5 in focus, but just about a mobo, buhuu :-/
Stop living in the past you Danish toy boy... move on !! Looking forward to a 5.5Ghz daily Bulldozer setup...
LOL I thought the same thing about the CH5. I get in here and am like awww wtfbbq ok cya bye.
Need some help

fully stable with 3d mark vantage and other 3d benches.
fully stable with heavy games like battlefield bad company 2, crysis II, metro 2033, the witcher 2.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
after updating to bios 0705 I tried this
2000 8-8-8-24 1T @ 1,65V
BUS 250
CPU 4000 1.4375 (LLC EXTREME)
NB 3000 1.3375 (LLC HIGH)

stable with some 3d mark vantage cpu bench loop but prime95 fails.
RAM TIMINGS
8-8-8-24 1T (read to read 5)
RAM DRIVINGS
CKE 1X
CS/ODT 1X
ADDR 1X
MEMCLK 1.5
DATA 1X
DQS 0.75

any advice is appreciated.
I know its hard get 2000 8-8-8-24 fully stable.
I would appreciate advices to get nb at 3000 prime95 stable.

than I I tried these settings I've already tried before (already done memtest with 300% coverage)
- bus 229
- ram 1838 7-7-7-21 1T @ 1.65v
- cpu 4020 @ 1.4375
- NB 2987 @ 1.325
after saving changes in bios the main wont post and shut down (no post, fan at maximum rpm for less than 1 second and shut down..) !
It is strange this shut down! When I could not post usaully the led power of screen blink and I have not a post, but there was no shutdown!
It seems strange because with these settings on previous bios I could post and also I've done memtest.
After that I re entered the previous settings I use in my daily use (prime95 stable) and the main give me the same problem, no post and shut down! Power on the system again no post and shut down after few seconds..
what is happened?
Now I entered bios and selected "load optimized default"...
I've made the post and after doing a reboot I re entered the settings of my daily use and the boot was done without problems..
You won't get 2000 with Hypers stable on Thuban...unless these boards play nicer.
I'll have a CHV to play around with at the end of the month if things go according to plan...
