But yes uguru does have issues with x64 vista, or xp x64 aswell, i had many bluescreens if it was left running, the new version seems to have fixed that issue, but i get a close error sometimes. No biggie really, just close it sometimes when u dont need it on
:up: lol
ya but this is just pretty bad honestly, i spent 20 mins thursday trying to get through, left 3 messages, no return call NADA. I called him today thoug on a whim at 4 pm and he did pick up and waived the 25$ fee since i dont have my receipt anymore. cool i guess, but still doesnt make up for the fact they sent me the wrong godamn board. Asus is almost as bad, they answer usually quickly, but have an attitude, and send bubble gum boards back, or fubar ones(bubble gum as in actual gum stuck on the pcb!!?" Its ok i forgive dennis, im sure its a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty job doing rma all day, i didnt chew him out over it.Quote:

in a nutshell, the Pro board is good as the IX38....almost same clock for clock as far as overclocking...the Pro is holding its own.
i wasn't able to bench very much on the IX38 before i killed it!:shocked:
i guess the biggest surprise is that there is no idle Vdrop on these 45nm processors...the 16.b03 bios is not indicating and reading the correct vcore...BUT...Uguru is spot on with setting and reading the actual vcore.
the only Vdroop was when i was running a bench like wPrime 1024M which is like a mini P95 run...it puts all 4 cores to 100% while running the computation.
the Vdroop for the Pro was smaller at the lower end of vcore and grew ever so sligthly as i increased the vcore...the IX38 had a 0.03 vdrop pretty much across the spectrum of vcore values...during a bench, the pro had 0.04v load Vdroop while benching at 4.0Ghz...the idle vcore was 1.28v...when i was up to 1.55v, the Vdroop was 0.05.
really not bad and i presume similar results will be attained for the Q9xxx series processors...probably even better for the dual core 8xxx series.
NOTE: i used the 8800 GTS video card at default clocks..otherwise, i would have busted 70K on 3D2001 bench
Hey Ace, is uGuru's temp correct in your above pic? 13c?
I know that the Ultra-120 Xtreme is a good HS, but is it really that low?
Haha, 13C that would be amazing....uguru is notorious for reporting incorrect temperatures....mine has never displayed the right temp no matter which version i have used. Mine always reports 14C even under load :rolleyes:Quote:

uguru cpu temp barely moved during wPrime bench...did you notice coretemp's latest beta...all four cores are different and by big margins....when i was running wPrime at 4400 mhz, all the coretemp readouts were closer...core '0' would stay at 51C until the temp from the bench took it higher...i would get 51C reading at idle even at 3 ghz with 1.13v vcore!:rolleyes:Quote:

hi guys,
ive been reading this thread for over 6 hours and i cant get to the end of it.
there is some real cool stuff in here.(fantastic results with the q6600)
i have a striker, well did have , ive got the dreaded cpu-init, so i have decided to get rid,the board is not worth all the hassle it brings with it.
i have a q6600 and a thermalrite 120 ultra extreme cooler,crucial ballistix 6400.
i have read forum after forum asking various questions about which motherboard to get for an easy and stable overclock.
lots of people seem to say this board or the asus pk5-delux
i am looking for a good overclock on air , what stable fsb could i realisticly reach with this board.
could some one please post some settings for me to look over to get the feel of things ready for when i get my board.
regards
steve
This board is the best mobo i have owned (even better than my previous DFI NF4-D) Tons of options for OCing and very stable. My max fsb is about 490 but i know others have hit higher with theirs. What speed are you looking to hit with your Q6600 and is it a G0 or B3?Quote:

3.8-4.0 might be stretching it on air, if you got a good Q6600 then I'd say you'd be all set to go. I haven't tested the max fsb on my board yet. But compared to my AB9 Quad GT, I can still hit the 9x400 easily and using same voltages I can go up to 430 (quad gt required more voltage) and the quad couldn't handle 8x400 but I am currently running 24/7 8x450. Once I got some bugs with esata and RAID worked out the actual oc is awesome, and Uguru is the 1st in windows program I've used to oc that doesn't get me frustrated.
didineedthis,
use mx-2 paste and you won't have to wait for cure time.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186020
I oc'ed mine within a couple hours after assembly.
333x9 on stock vcore.
378-380x9 on 1.42v bios
400x9 on 1.52v bios
I run 378x9 1.42v bios which sees about 1.37-1.38 in cpuz for daily use folding and it runs cool as cucumber with mx-2 and 120 ultra (all unlapped).
just some settings to get you started. I'm sure it can be fine tuned better, I just started the smp client and haven't tinkered too much since it was built in late Oct. other than some benches at 3.6@1.52 which cpuz reported 1.5v.

I would shoot for 3.4 -3.6 for now and see how your temps are :) 3.8 - 4 on air is highly unlikely (unless you have a really nice chip like Ace has) I'm currently at 425x8 (i wanted a nice even 3.40 ghz lol) I was at 3.7 but the vcore required to get me semi-stable there was ridiculous (every day tasks were stable at 1.57 vcore)....but it was taking 1.6+ vcore to get prime95 or occt semi-stable and even with a nice water setup temps were getting up to 65-67C under load so i dropped it to 3.4 at 1.47 vcore. I just got unlucky in the lottery of getting a good chip for over clocking :shakes:Quote:

here it is folding right now.

another thing you can do, I read about this here at xs. is mount ush/pull fans with rubber bands. it suprisingly works and holds real well.. I expected them to break, but they are still going 2 months later... no sign of giving out.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...0162Medium.jpg
used the apevia 120's because they are fairly inexpensive and you get a quantity discout, so they cost abot 6.50 ea if you buy 4 or 5.
plus they have blue led's and add some case lighting from the top and around the thermalright if you like that sort of thing.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811998121
thanks for all your help mate ,
i will order some of them fans, do you have the set up as 1 pulling and 1 pushing? its a great idea.
i will start off low and build up to something stable around the 3.4 mark
regards
steve
yeah, just look at the arrows on the side of the fans and make them point toward the rear case fan. the flow will go from front to back and out.
the top case fans are venting also.
the fan on the bottom and the front of the case (you can't see are pulling air in).
so it creates a flow from bottom/front TO back/top within the case.
the push/pull fans on the 120 just keep flow moving through the fins for efficient heat removal. then the case fans pull that air out.
as long as you have a decent air supply for the push/pull fans on the 120 to use, which is waht the case fans do... you'll have great results.
your case may be different than mine, but you get the idea.
What is your stepping btw? I got my q6600 up to 3.45ghz without touching the vcore.
mine's a g0... mine definitely was not stable at 380x9 on stock vcore.. in fact IIRC it wouldn't even boot... it did boot at 333x9 on stock v though and was stable the short amount of time it was there.
I guess as the old sayinng goes YMMV.. :D
my stepping is a go.Quote:

i would like to thank everyone who helped me with my choice.
lets hope i have more luck with this board than i did with the striker ::mad:
thanks again every one ,no doubt i will be back in touch in a couple of days ,asking for your help with the overclcking.

Well i am finally selling my oldy DFI 939 system
and ordering ABIT IP35-E and E2140 (just 2 hold me till Q9450 gets in croatia)
Have a 4*1 Gig of Geil 800 ultra c4
Any infos i need 2 know ?
IP35-E don't have μGuru chip ?
Oh and can i put nb cooler on this board (HR-05-SLI) ?
Thanx in advance.
Damnit! I just can't stop this board hard-locking out of nowhere. I've been running 450x8 for some time now, and sometimes it's stable for weeks, and other times it just hard-locks out of the blue. Like today when I was playing a round of Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts. Played for an hour or so; then complete hard-lock. I press reboot and it goes into this endless loop of shutting itself on and off. To get it booting again I have to turn off the PSU for a few minutes. Last week I turned the PC off (it normally runs 24/7) to clean my radiator filter. Turned it on again; and it hardlocked around 4 times until it just suddenly became stable again and ran for a week before I rebooted it again. This inconsistency in stability is literally driving me crazy! I think I've tried every single bios setting to no avail. Right now I'm wondering if I should get an Asus P5K-E to try and see if the same thing happens on this board.
Edit: just so you know. These overclocks pass 15 hours of Prime95 and half a day of memtest.
Sorry to hear about your fustrations.
I have not experimented much with my max, but I have been tweaking 3.6Ghz 9 x 400. I have my menory 4 x 1gig at 5-4-4-12 at DDR2 980 speed. With the CPU ratio being 1:1.2
Vcore 1.4350
MCH 1.41
VTT 1.23
ICH 1.05
DDR2 2.25
ichio 1.5
DDR2REG +2%
CPU GTREF 69%
My temps are 32 at ideal at they reach 57 during the end of the Prime 1024 test, which I pass. I may try to lower the VCore a little more. But I am pretty happy with this set up so far. I am running XP Pro 32 and soon to load Vista 64.
Well, I'm going to try a few more things before I give up. First I'm going to give the newest B03 bios a go, and then I'm going to overclock it from scratch to try to find the cause of my annoying problem. It might just be that my board is a lemon...
I'm jealous of your 3.6 with those low voltages you have :( Wish mine would do thatQuote:

Lastly, I am buying a aftermarket heatsink for my 8800GT... Newegg sells one for $40.00, I am between three models...
1. cheapest alternative $39 and change, ARCTIC COOLING Accelero S1 VGA Cooler WITH ARCTIC COOLING Turbo Module Sleeve Dual VGA Fan.
2. Most Expensive $70 Thermaltake HR-03 GT with a 90 or 120 mm fan.
3. Middle... Themaltake Duorb VGA Cooler $48.65.
I am thinking about the cheapest alternative... Whats your though on a VGA cooler?
for those who have asked about my voltages, i have a screen shot of Uguru with cpuz.
these are in their initial stages of being tweaked...they could go up or down as i try to find the right balance.
word of caution for those who are going to buy a QX9650 and put it on the Pro board...16.b03 is not tweaked for the penryn...the bios vcore is off the wall with setting anything meaningful...and...the temp readout is basically non-functional..even coretemp's latest beta, 0.95.6, is not reliable....SO...watch it when you start to bench the chip in P95, if that is your bread and butter for benches;)
PS...be advise that cpuz 1.42 and uguru being open will freeze the computer so avoid that condition.
I've always wondered; what does the DDR2 REF percentage do?

while we are talking about ddr voltage...i measured mine on the board and it is spot on with what i set in Uguru...i've read at least one poster in another forum complaining that his ddr voltage was sligthly lower than what is set...it just goes to show you how the same board can vary in performance for each user.

All I know is Ace once told me that the range is 67 - 69% and you should see which one works the best with your setup. I find at 69% I am the most stable... after a lot of tweaking around, I based my 69% when I was orclocking at 3.7Ghz.. I found that I lasted the longest during Prime 1024 test before my computer crashed when I was at 69%, vers 67 and 68%... I even tried 70% but again, I lasted the longest without crashing when I was at 69%.Quote:

Ah, Gotcha! Thanks alot. I will try that as soon as I get the time. I'm also going to get some more bolts to to the bolt mod to the NB and SB too, because I only had two fitting bolts, so I've only done it to the PWM heatsink. I suspect the NB heatsink isn't making very good contact - it doesn't get hot, under even maximum load. Since there is no temp monitor on it I don't really know how hot it gets... Is the sink supposed to be hot to the touch while overclocking?
it might get fairly warm to the touch if you are P95 benching....your "sys" temp sensor is in the vicinity of the NB.
Oh, okay. I don't think I've ever seen the sys temp go over 31c, ever. Oh well, I'm gonna put some proper bolts on the sink anyway. Those phony plastic clips freak me out :P
Hello Ace,
I would like to ask for some suggestions / opinions.
My configuration:
Abit P35-Pro mobo running BIOS 16 Beta 3
Processor Q6600 G0
Tuniq Tower 120 HSF
Patriot memory PC2-6400 running at 4-4-4-12 @2.2V
FSB = 400 Mhz
Multi = 9
memory ratio 1:1
Vcore = 1.5v
ICHIO = 1.5v
So I'm running at 3.6 GHz - stable. Tested with Orthos, Prime95, SuperPi
At idle, coretemp & everest report temperature 42C for core 1&2 and 39C for core 3&4. Under full load on all 4 cores, temperature is 63C max. Is this too high? Also, PWM1 reports 58C
I can hit 3.8 GHz (423 x 9 with Vcore=1.58) stable. But under full load, temperature hit 75C. So I stopped.
At this point, the CPU temp is holding overclocking back.
Any suggestions? Also, with a proper air-cooled setup, at 3.8 GHz under full load, what can be an attainable temp for the CPU using air.
BTW, I haven't done the Ace pipe mod or lapping the tuniq yet. If I do decide to mod the pipe and lap the HSF, what kind of temp improvment I may get out of this?
I could tell you that my temps CPU temps at 3.6Ghz, 4 x 1gig DDR2 980 at a 1:1.2 ratio at 5-4-4-12 is 32 and during full load with PRIME I reach 57 and my CPU at 400 x 9.
I find that if I want to reach higher stable oc's I really have to push my system and then I get temps similar to yours. And I also have not done Ace's heat pipe mode... considering it, when I have a free afternoon... like maybe some time in 2008 :P
I have my Vcore set at 1.4250. What's all your settings?
all my settings are listed in my post. Basically everything is at default except for those listed above. Your system is very similar to mine except your memory is running faster. Even at 3.6 GHz, yours seems to run cooler than mine because your vcore is only 1.4250; is that the bios setting voltage or is it with the vdroop compensation?
Hey 2008 is only a few weeks away :) -....
I know I get 3.8 on air easily with some mods but ... I'm so tired of taking out my mobo and plus installing the tuniq 120 is a PIA...
Thats BIOS setting Voltage. I am using the CoolMaster GeminII (could be considered the BIGGEST PIA :) as a heatsink with Artic Cooling MX-2. I have been slowly lowering my Vcore... would like to know the lowest MAX stable setting. It has been only two days since I have lowered it to 1.4250, but it passed Prime and has not given me a problem.Quote:

That sounds great!!!.Quote:

the installation of the tuniq 120 was horrible. I had the mobo outside, put the tuniq on, but the screws and springs combination was so hard that it was very hard for the screw to bite into the thread of the back plate. I think the back plate that came with it was somewhat defective as well. anyway, I mange to get it installed after 45 minutes of struggle and cursing. During that time, I think my AS5 compound (I put lie a pea size drop of it in the middle) is just all over the place and I think I may have botched that installation a bit.
My set up sits inside a coolermaster 690 case. The intake fans are as follows: front (1500 rpm), bottom up (1500 rpm), side panel fan (1100 rpm), top down 1100 rpm). CPU fan spins at 2100 rpm (blows through heat sink and PWM). Rear exhaust fan at 2400 rpm. All fans are 120 mm.
The thought of lapping the tuniq heat sink have surfaced many times but I'm just too sick of trying to re-install it. I still have time to return it to newegg but if I am going to take it out, I am seriously thinking about the CoolIT Eliminator. At $169 and probably less with trade-in, it may be less. It's expensive but if that going to cool the CPU then I might as well try it. It's a cool device too :). Has anyone here try the CoolIT Eliminator with a Q6600 ??
I never lapped mine, was told it was not really nessary. We have the same case. I purchased 5 x 140mm fans from Petras and 1x80mm fan, plus the 2x 120mm fans plus I have two more 120mm on my heatsink. And I am about to purchase my last part.. a VGA heatsink for the 8800GT, there is one for $40 comes with two 80cm fans. Basically every spot I had for a 140mm fan, I used with a 140mm fan.
All my fans all spin around 800 - 1000RPMs, I am having problems with the Guru fan control, I want to Turbo everything, but I can't seem to do it. The fan speed is set by the default speed. My computer locks when I touch the Mode Select, it all started when I installed a 3 pin in my CPU fan. Maybe I need to install a 4 pin? When I did not use the CPU fan, I remember the Guru fan control working fine.
I have already lowered my Vcore again to 1.4150, haven't run Prime yet, but I did play about three hours of Gears of War.
I had no problem mounting my heatsink. I applied thermal compound on the heatsink only, I used a credit card to smear it around really thin and bolted it on. But just to put a fan in some of the mobo ports I have to take off my mobo completely, just way to lazy, but I will soon order a 4 pin fan.
I have heard lots of good things about the Accelero S1 on the 8800 GT, i say go for it :up:Quote:

I do think it's important to have the rear fan running a lot faster than others intake fans because you want to remove the hot air out as fast as possible and at the same time have a real good air flow front to back. Avoid any trapping of hot pocket in the system. Is that how you have yours setup ?
I do not have a problem with the fan speed via Guru. I tried last night too. My fans are all 3 pins including the CPU fan. I'm using version 3.106 and 3.107 of Guru and they both worked fine.
I have a new B16.04 BIOS that has additional Yorkfield optimizations, will upload once I confirm it does not blow up the board or switch your monitor to NickToons automatically.

ace do you have the link to b16.04 bios update.
So, I finally figured out my min Vcore to sustain a 3.6GHZ 9X400... 1.3950, any lower I fail prime. I also had to keep my memory at 2.250, any lower it would also crash prime near the end... pisses me off :). 4x1GB 5-4-4-12.
My MCH is at 1.41... I haven't played with it much, plan to try to lower it.
VTT at 1.23 (don't understand what this does...
DDR2 +2% and GTREF at 69%.
I ended up lowering my max temp by 11 C.. I think that is pretty good. So now my temps are between 24 (previously was at 32) at idlea and when I ran prime it went to 46C (previously was at 57).
When I run prime, I always get three cores to finish about 15 seconds before the last... is that normal? My score is around 409 in windows.
that's pretty good result reading on the temp.
Every cpu is different. I'm glad you were able to lower to 1.395.
Mine is stable at 1.47. I'll try to relax my timing a bit and give a 0.05V bump on memory to see if I can lower vcore. Thanks for the info.
bingo13 passed it on to me with strict instructions to not distribute until he has tested it...he will post it up very soon...he is a busy reviewer (Gary Key) over at Anandtech.comQuote:

BTW...another nice feature of the 16.B04 is an "Auto" setting for Vdimm...it will automatically increase Vdimm as you increase FSB or adjust memory strap which in effect raises memory speed...so...if you are pushing the envelope on a high strap change, the voltage increase will or can help with a successful post...so far, the largest increase that i've seen was a little over 2.3 volts.
if you are talking about wPrime, then, YES!;)Quote:

Ace, have u got any info on when they're going to release a final 16 bios?
joe, really don't know, but, from my understanding talking to bingo13 that abit is tweaking the 16 bios so it can work with the Penryn...still a bit to go with cpu temp, bios vcore setting and one or two other voltages that are out of sync from what Uguru is saying or allowing to change through "OC Guru".Quote:

Thats pretty damn cool!Quote:

I've disabled uguru cpu temp reading since it shows 245ºC:p:

One day Ace... I will do some crazy clock speeds. Did you get 295 with a Q6600? But I don't have the budget to blow any equipment.Quote:

I may deside to do your mode and aim for a 3.8Ghz... maybe even a 3.9Ghz like you... but I can't believe that would shave 100 seconds off of Prime.
NOPE!;)...it was from a quad core but a little more muscle than a Q6600 can deliver...see my sig.Quote:

my mod might not allow you to get to 3.8...your limitation might be your hardware, ie., cpu, memory or mobo....don't frustrate yourself if you can not reach that plateau...once you go over 3.6 ghz on a Q6600 you need a large increase in vcore and maybe mch and ichio.Quote:

that's good for a P95 episode...i really do not fool around with that program anymore...i kind of expected 4 ghz would be the baseline for P95 and a QX9650.Quote:

I have
Abit IP35 Pro
E6750 w/ Scythe Infinity HSF
2x1GB Crucial Ballastix DDR2-800 (PC2-6400)
CorsairHX 520W PSU
My CPU needs 1.52Vcore set in BIOS to be stable @ 3.6 (450x8) - Actual 1.47 Load
Does this seem high vcore set?
I can do 3.55 @ 1.47 in BIOS and 1.42 Actual load
try setting multi back to 9 and use 400 fsb...you might be able to lower your vcore.Quote:

both 2.66 GHz stock and E6700 is like $40 more I think
but with a P35 I can do high fsb no problem
I can do 500x8=4 GHz
------
but yeah why I need so high vcore? I see people say they get 3.5 @ stock volts - I need 1.42 (load) for 3.5
stock is 1.35 (VID) and less after load
sorry...thought you had a q6600
no but can you help why I need vcore high?
any setting I am missing besided MCH?
I havent touched the % or VTT so you got any suggestions?
what do you mean by "stable"?..if you are talking about Prime 95 then you are probably real close to the correct vcore.Quote:

so it needs an extra 1.1V for 3.6? Mines does 3.5 1.42 so I need an extra .5v for 100 more MHz?
any memory oc'ing tips?
I have 2x1Gb PC2-6400 it does 4-4-4-12 450 MHz 2.1V but wont do 5-5-5-15 510 MHz 2.2V..........weird especially for D9GMH........?
each piece of hardware acts differently.
you have DDR-800 memory...asking it to do DDR-1020 is a bit hard on it....DDR-900 is probably at or near the upper limit....try increasing MCH and ICHIO to max for a short time to see if that has any impact.
wow I love you
i put ICHIO to 1.6 and can now do 600 mhz 5-5-5 2.2v and 3.6 with 1.42 vcore 10 minutes orthos so far better than faiil in 10 seconds
Has anyone had stuttering sound problems so far using the onboard HD Audio setup? I've got the latest XP driver from Realtek's site. Using an Esata drive as well.
usually any type of stuttering is caused by a resource conflict...try disabling devices/hardware in system properties to see if you can find the piece of hardware causing the problem.
Sometimes my temps stick. I have seen my temps stick at 32C before. When I reboot, it seems to unstick it. It happened once or twice.Quote:

Thank you Ace. I will try it tonight after work. Thanks again for all your help!!! I just wanted to remind you that this thread was the reason why I purchased my mobo... VERY VERY VERY happy... I was already a huge Abit fan with my OLD Socket A Abit Mobo NF7-S rev.2. Could you believe I am coming from a athlon 2500+ CPU to a Q6600 :)Quote:

Here is B16.04, it's a keeper - http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/...M629BA16AT.rar
thank you bingo13!:up:
Oh yeah? Does that mean it will become a 'Final' here soon?Quote:

In general other things seem unstable and I have to reboot. I'm still using the 14 BIOS.
Just FYI, I'm running a G0 Q6600 at 3.4 GHz with a x9 multiplier and standard CAS5 G.Skill 2x1GB DDR2-800 running at about 900MHz. The only voltage change I needed to do was to up VCORE to 1.2925V and set the RAM to 2V (it's rated at 1.8-2.0V so not an OC), so I'm really happy. I also have a Scythe Ninja RevB that keeps temps very reasonable.
check that you are using the latest JMicron driverQuote:
