will test the XBX2 with a 6850 in a day or two
thx for the pics. few things i wanna ask you. the mushkin ram you have, its the same kind i plan on getting. how well does it work? i see you have it in the black slots rather then the blue slots any reason for this? and the corsair power supply, i had planned on gettin one of those too, how do you like it? one final thing, how come your rear case fan is mouted on the outside of the case?
Guys,
what do I have to disable so the CPU doesn't change multi under load/idle? I have disabled both C1E and EIST, and it still does it...
Thanks! :up:Quote:

It's a bug. You can install a .ini file, somewhere to be found in this thread. It'll disable EIST @ windows boot.Quote:

I am curious if I should buy another XBX2 for the new machine or if there are any newer boards/chipsets out there that would be a better alternative or offer better future processor support/upgrades?
Any suggestions?

The Corsair power supply is great I did a lot of research before buying.
The reason I mounted the rear case fan outside the case is because it was to close to the Ultra-X and I reversed it to blow in to feed the Ultra-x.
Based on what I found, I would conclude the following.
There are only 2 hardware revisions of the board:
501-505 are all the same original hardware rev, just different BIOS revs.
506-507 is the newer hardware rev, again with different versions of BIOS between the two versions.
I searched the intel.pcnalert.com website and
Here a little more information about revision 506.
(Other than what I highlighed in bold, I don't think the other changes are really that useful.)
1. Updating the BIOS to revision 2507.
2. Adding the option to use both Maxim parts and the existing Pericom
parts in PCIe x8/x8 switching circuit.
3. Adding an enhanced revision of the ADI voltage regulator controller.
Additional items for retail desktop boards:
a. China RoHS documentation enhancements.
b. Updated printed product guide.
c. Updated the driver CD.

If you conclude differently, please let me know.
Thanks.

Hey guys, sorry if this has already been asked (I suppose it) but I´ve been out of this thread for a while :poke:
Any Intel Matrix Storage version that works on Vista 32?
Intel's webpages have the Matrix storage drivers for both 32/64 bit Vistas and I havent had any problems running the latest 975X Vista drivers for Matrix storage even tho they aren't directly targetted to XBX2.Quote:

Well everybody, I found the fix for my extremely slow POST times --and it was exposed by another problem.
I have had serious issues burning CD's this past week with my two Pioneer DVR-212D SATA writers. Burn ten CD's, get eight coasters, and two usable disks. It didn't matter which of the two drives I used. Under Nero 6.6.1.15a, at a random point during the burn, the buffer would nearly instantly drop to zero, and the burn would fail. This was not a problem with the same drives under my previous nForce4 board (MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum) on the native nForce4 SATA controller.
I removed my Pioneer drives, and replaced them with a LiteON 167T DVD-ROM and an NEC 3500A DVD burner I used to have in this system --both IDE drives, and enabled the IDE controller. The extreme delay in POST disappeared immediately, as have the problems in writing CD's and DVD's.
I believe that Intel has a problem in its AHCI setup, be it a BIOS bug, or a hardware implementation issue, that causes problems with SATA optical drives. I have a sneaking suspicion that turning SATA from AHCI back over to IDE mode might fix the problem --but of course, at the expense of turning off features like Native Command Queuing for any hard disks using the controller. The AHCI drivers for Windows may or may not be part of the burning issue as well --I have no way to tell. I think it is likely that the nForce 650i and 680i chipset boards do not have these problems, considering that I had no problems with my far earlier nForce4 (Socket 939) board. I have also heard reports of similar problems from users who have Intel i965 chipset boards.
I hope Intel will take a look at this problem and attempt a fix via the BIOS, and drivers if necessary. Meanwhile, I'm back to using IDE for my optical drives.
I don't know what to tell you, but my board will post and boot halfway to Windows with an E6600 clocked to 1333FSB (basically E6850 speeds), which tells me that it should at least come up. That's with all four DIMM sockets filled, no less. I'm using the 2770 BIOS.Quote:

Perhaps it's your revision of the board. Or, maybe the current BIOS doesn't support the new CPU microcode of the e6x50's and they just need to update it. Time will tell, but I can't believe Intel wouldn't ensure support for these new CPU's when the board is advertised by top vendors as having 1333FSB support.
heh, I emailed Intel awhile back asking if there will be a BIOS supporting 1333 FSB procs on BX2. In a nutshell their response was they cannot comment on unreleased products. If it will be supported it will show up in CPU support list.
I suppose we will just have to wait a few more days. If it's not there, then I guess they want to push P35 boards.
Well if ASUS can make their 975 boards handle 45nm cpus I for one cant see any reason why Intel cant do the same. Besides, not doing it while being able to would probably ensure that noone would ever buy a intel board again.
Bear in mind that 1333Mhz FSB on 975x make DDR2 800Mhz run to 833Mhz.
Perhaps Intel doesn't wan't to overclock everybody's memory.
I think in some case, with cheap memory modules, it could be a problem.
Are you sure that the board will not have a FSB:RAM 1:1 ratio when the cpu is running at 1333MHz FSB?Quote:

I noticed they added Q6700 in their CPU support list. I dunno if that means 1333 CPUs will not be supported or they might add it later. :confused:
Hell guys, this is my first post :D , but i've been reading this thread for months cuz i have myself an Intel XBX2 and i'm a little concerned about future cpu support for this motherboard. If Intel doesn't give further support for 1333 FSB CPU's and 45 nm penryn's we all are screwed up, specially if you are one of the many people( including me) that think that this mobo is awesome, stable, etc. :up:
But looking on the web i found this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CD-mJMB7Lw
If you look well, they were playing a demo of Crysis with the new Intel penryn's 45 nm "Yorkfield" with a system configuration based on 975BX2 motherboard!!!, 2 gigs of ram, 8800 GTX, etc... The main point is the presence of the Bad Axe 2, this -at least for me- give hopes fo everybody that intel will still give support for newer cpu technologies for this great motherboard. I'm not pretty sure if they did some heavy modding to the mobo or they just released a beta bios, it is all suppositions.
I'm still crossing my fingers, hoping that Intel will give us great news very soon... ;)
Thx
XBX2 already replaced by "BoneTrail" unfortunately.
Something to do with voltage regulators needing modifications on the XBX2 for penryn cpu.
Sux, so at least give us 1333FSB Kentsfield support for crying out loud.
I have an opportunity to buy a QX6850 (quite a few other upgrades too) and would love to know if it would work, not expecting it to though. Then theres availability of it, so at the least its Q6700 unfortunately.
and another XBX2 with penryn vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqT_5Nv8gs0
I don't see this as a bad thing, change was inevitable, the BX2 still looks better though~ :bravo:Quote:

what im saying is, to use a penryn in a XBX2, the voltage regulators needed a modification.
Also if they already have working penryns and a torturing them like they are now with live demonstrations and the such, they're going to wait until next year to release them?????
Thats 1 hell of a long beta run for an already working cpu.
why should they release the penryn when AMD has nothing to put up with current Intel processors? Intel is being smart :cool:Quote:

Hi,
Im following this thread through from the beginning and some of the details make sense to me, yet others don't... I'm still a bit wet behind the ears.
I've bought this mobo and am in the process of fitting it out, with the last item, (I see a lot of new buyers leave this bit to last as it does seem to be the most confusing) RAM.
Specs;
XBX2 mobo
X6800 chip
4x WD raptors RAID0
Crossfire 2900XT (1024GB GDDR4 RAM each) will be running @ stock
X-Fi Fatal1y
XPSP2 Home 32bit
2048 ?RAM?
(dang flightsims are an expensive hobby :) )
Here's what I wanna do...
basically I just want to run the system at a small (timid) overclock at say 3.2GHz with a X6800 chip, running the system as fast as.. My mobo is Rev 505 XBX2 and the RAM/ CPU multiplier side of things sorta does my head in. (being new, I'm sure this happens and everything sorts itself out inside after a while)
Where I would go with RAM is either Corsair 6400C3D or 8500C5D. I figure with the lower latency C3D, If needed, I could run at spec and tight and with the 8500C5D I could run it slow and possibly a lower than advertised latency, also I'm not exactly too sure on how the booting at JDEC would be affected by 1066RAM in an 800fsb board, with the settings set manually in BIOS.
Once I've got the system up and running, I'm sure everything will make sense by falling into place but beforehand, I would grumble at myself for buying the less than optimum RAM
I'm moving fom a rev 504 D875PBZ mobo 3.2 478pin Prescott, with some nice Registry mods
What would the best way of setting this XBX2 mobo up be??
For memory, Ballistix 8500 is good.
Dudes i got some great news!!!! :D , just check Intel's cpu's support for Bad Axe2 ( updated July 30 ):
http://www.intel.com/support/motherb...4.htm#core2duo
YES!!!!:eek: Finally official 1333 FSB processor support for XBX2!!!, SWEET :D , now bring it on Penryns....Yujuuu...
:clap:Quote:

omg im so happy!:D some of u know ive been askin lots of questions about this board in the last few weeks because ive been plannin on buildin my new system based on this board. i was just about to order all my parts sometime this week, and for the cpu i was gonna go with the e6600, but now i seen it supports 1333 fsb! so it looks like ill be ordering a e6750:yepp: few posts back i asked about memory for the BX2 and i got 2 votes for the G.SKill, would this set of G.Skill still work good with the e6750?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231065
still waiting the damn 6850 :(
So what are the latest recommended settings for a BadAxe2 rev505 w/2747 bios to get a decent overclock?
e6600 B2
2x1 Gb Corsair 6400c4
2x1 Gb Ballistix 6400c4
Watercooled (in sig)
Edit:
I am looking for..
vcore
fsb
vmch
Thanks.

Hrmmm I flashed to 2770 and now I get 3 beeps and it never boots. http://www.intel.com/support/motherb.../cs-010249.htm says bad ram. Ram was working fine prior to this. Wasn't OCed at flash. Took my ram out and just put one stick in bank 0, took out the bios battery and let it sit for 5min and plugged it back in. Still 3 beeps. My board toast?
try the bios reset jumper
I got the same issue, I set my bios to default before I flash now
nvm. Looks like its my fault for using EPP ram... It worked before this flash. I swapped ram out with some kingston value I had in another box and it booted up fine. I flashed back to my old version (2634) and the weird thing is it still does the 3 beeps with any of my OCZ sticks in any slot... Board works fine with the KVR stick though. Sorry for the wasted post.
Penryns being released Q4 2007 now.
Ahead of the 2008 debut, so it can only mean AMD real quad is here soon as well.
Is the penryn a 2x dual core config or 4 core native config? Cant remember.
Also depends how much it costs, and new mobo would probably be needed.
I wouldn't count on support by 975 boards.
It`s not native quad core, just 2+2!Quote:

STOP 0x0000007E (0xC0000005 0xF748E0BF 0xF78DA208 0xF78D9F08)
pci.sys
Address: F748E0BF Base: F7487000 Date Stamp: 3b7d855c
Blue screen at the point that Windows XP says "Windows will now begin Setup" of a fresh install
Memtest 1.7 after 6 passes = no errors.
please don't tell me my mobo is FUBAR on arrival (well, ok if that's wot it iz tell me, but be gentle)
Hi,
please make sure the XP-version you are installing has SP2 or it will most certainly cause problems with PCI-Express Graphics cards. The result is the nice blue screen you are experiencing....
Greetz,

Just did the BIOS uppgrade and everything works ok. I wonder what the "new prosessor support" spesificly includes? Intel never mention this in their relase notes :( (Damn bastards!)
Anyone using the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager
7.6.0.1011 driver
http://downloadmirror.intel.com/13806/ENG/Relnotes.html

Do you install the 7.6.0.1011 if just running IDE..no RAID or ACHI
or the new chipset drivers

TIA
I am but using RAID...not sure about the chipset drivers. Another warning is that if you're running Vista, you have to reactivate with the Matrix driver anyways. :rolleyes:Quote:
