I'm just getting started with this board and a B3 Q6600. I was running at 3.6GHz with prime95 and I ran two of the four cores for over 8 hours with no errors, but the other two failed after an hour and half or so with an incorrect returned value. I can't remember the exact wording of the error. i know it wasn't the rounding error message. Any ideas?
Great :) At DDR2-1200 and 5-5-4-9, I can't select Transaction booster to 1 or 2, the system doesn't even boot... But at 0 it works and it gives me a nice boost for disabled 0 to enabled 0 :)Quote:

Is this simply a driver issue or is it related to the soundcard and OCing?
This is what I found out with my testing: NOT ALL rams work well on the 266 strap. my Corsair Dominators (Rated at 1066mhz) can do 1300mhz on this board, but on the 266 strap, it won't post past 8x470fsb.Quote:

Here is the Team ram, doing 8x475 on the 266 strap 5-5-5-10-25-3-3 @ 2.24v. You need the right memory - those rated for CAS 4 (I believe), and then you'll be above the clouds in 266 heaven :D
Edit: I didn't take it to DDR2 1200 because there is a latency change between 475-480 fsb which leads to about 1 latency higher @ DDR2 1200.
Bump :D

Thanks for your opinion
MARSOUIN:
Set this to auto.Quote:
FSB Strap to North Bridge : 400
Then pick a speed you know your RAM can handle. Shoot low for now. You can up it later.Quote:
DRAM Frequency: Auto = Otherwise unstable
Try setting Relax to 1 if you're having stability issues.Quote:
Ai Clock Twister : Strong Relax = 0
Set to around 1.52Quote:
North Bridge Voltage : 1.49
Set to 1.5Quote:
FSB Termination Voltage : 1.4
Try that and see what that does for ya.
WOW 0907 is out
Yes. Read a feedback at forumdeluxx.de that says, that QFan runs better now. Another user flashed from 0903 and his OC settings are even stable with 0907.
Will try it today evening.
change log for 0907 surfaced yet?
:rofl: Won't see thats for days. :shakes:Quote:

Hi, as eSp!s0 has pointed out, the CPU calibration is back to the 'traditional' asus way of reading the CPU temp. Please note that with this reading it is taken from a external diode, that is why the core temps are higher. Comparing my temps, CPU in Probe says 20c, coretemp says 34,34,30,32c...

Yes, the coretemps are the same, only cpu temperature has changed to 20° lower than before. But this temperature of about 20° under load with aircooling... why they use this method, it`s not very realistic.Quote:

Chris
so far :scope:
Hi, my initial impressions of the 0907 is good, running and a oc of 3.6ghz. I've put back in my 4 x 1gb Crucial Ballistix PC8500, run them at 1066, 5-5-5-15 @2.19 volts and managed to run prime for over two hours, where as before it wouldn't last ten mins. I know that's not absolute proof, but it's looking better.
Chris
I'm freaking scared upgrading my bios. i better stick to 903 until I get a backup machine .Quote:

Warboy, what did it take to achieve that before? Voltages? Temps?
what are your settings in the asus bios. I hope 907 Does wonders too.
did anyone managed to water cool this board?, i have 1/2OD Tygon Tubing, i know the Fusion Block is 3/8 but iam just wondering about the leakage and deffrence between air and water cooled on it.... Pictures would be nice too
thank you

Don't know why you would get that unless you are using an optional temp probe plugged into the mobo at that location.Quote:

So you have full confidence in the new 0907 warboy? Are your vDIMM spikes still there with this BIOS?
Warboy, you're using 2 Dimms right? What Bios settings are you running for 475MHz?
hey i posted in the other thread but thought i would post over here to see if anyone could help. Never overclocked and just want to dip my feet into overclocking slightly.
Is there any settings guide for say 3ghz? as i just want to push it up gradually.
Im currently on q6600 with 4gb (2x2gb stick) of ocz reaperx ram, any help would be really appreciated. Also im on a air only setup.
Thanks
First impression (hopefully not the last one) of bios 0907: Bios does not recover from crahes as gracefully as 0903. Also, it would have none of my 8x480 on the 266 strap after crash. Back on 0903 (for the moment).
Boot from bios:) Thats more like it fellas:up:
Their getting better, atleast.Quote:

I want to try it out, but I won't be able to complete testing b4 I go up to OH for the holidays :(. I really look forward to fully testing it starting next thursday. Good luck you guys! Man I want a stable 4+GHz, even though I'm happy now...
on auto at 2.4ghz i get 5c less and i didnt use that much paste, i just followed arctic silver instructions and did a line across the core in the center.Quote:

First thing I notice is the CPU is a lot lower. Core still look the about same.though.
hi wondering if you guys can help
i just had a custom system built
maximus formula non-se
qx9650 with asetek LCLC oem liquid cooling
2gb corsair dominator pc8500
8800 ultra
120mm fan back and another on the side
bios updated to 0903 with everything on auto
but i'm noticing my MB, NB, SB temps are unusually high. currently at 50,54,55on idle. how can i lower the temps to a reasonable level? i was going to add 3more stock 120mm fans on the side, would that help or should i look into heatsinks or watercooling? and what temp should i be at? thanks
My NB temp is around 47c idle, and I´ve reseated the heatpipe thing with AS5. Nothing to worry about actually...Quote:
Originally Posted by jagger333

The one on the side should be sucking air into the case, and the one on the back should be blowing out. You should have one on the front also sucking air in. Try also flashing your BIOS to 0907.Quote:

Hey all
I am contemplating buying this motherboard and I am wondering:
Why are people buying this board with "built-in" watercooling on the northbridge, only to replace this cooling solution?
Why not just buy the "regular" version and mount another watercooling solution on the northbridge?
Isn't the one installed ok? (if removed, proper TIM applied and remounted )etc...
907 Has me stable @ 9x400 @ 1.48V . My CPU gets too hot @ 72C so I'm not going to push it at all.
0907 stabalized me a bit (9x420). Buy super pi still errors out once in a while. This board I got back from RMA is a little more difficult to deal with. I thought 05xx was stable, but I was getting hagups in UT3. I have a feeling it's my memory or the fact that I have 4 sticks. Would OCing improve if I had 2x2gb sticks? I'll probably need to get faster memory for Yorkfield anyways.
It almost seems like I have a flaky install of Vista 64. Soudcard drivers, vga drivers, everything is acting up. I went to 169.21 and got rid of most of the hangs in UT3. but super-pi flakes out on me every once in a while.
edit: nm
Any bios past 0901 (0902,0903,0907) , do not boot for me with the same settings as 0901.
It boots up with : DET DRAM - CPU INIT - VGA BIOS ... and then DET DRAM again (stuck).
Seems the 0902 and above use a second detect ram method after the initial booting ?
0901 runs fine (memtest pass , occt pass , prime95 pass)
Anyone have an idea for solving it ?
can anyone downgrade back to 0802 or any other old version bios after upgrading to 0907? i hope it can...if not i am not flashing to this
The downgrade issue has been resolved along time ago :brick:Quote:

----------------------
1. Updated CPU level up module
2. Fix system freezes if been interrupted by USB devices before entering S3
3. Finetune CPU temperature detection algorithm
4. Enable N/2 ratio support for more CPU
My temps in CoreTemp got higher after the update.
Ne1 experience the same thing?
With 0907 bios 0.5 multis finaly work, just tried.
That did happent o me on my previous board. I went from 05xx to 0903 and temp readings went up 10c. This time I flashed from 05xx to 0907 and the temps seems normal, but I can still tell the sensors are hit and miss. (everest cpu temp is low but the core1 and core2 seem about right, GPU temps seem low, too)Quote:

I can run 2 instances at a time no problem and even 32m no problem, but if I run even a single instance of 1m right after another calculation finishes, it crashes.
What could be causing this? Is it a memory timing issue or some other memory setting?
Sorry but I cant help you about your SuperPi problem.Quote:

does anyone know why I can't change the multiplier on this 907 BIOS ??? Does it stay locked at 9x till I change another setting??
I finally figure out how to get it to 2.8 and keep my memory down as well :)
You need to use the + and - on the numpad to change the multiplier with the newer bios!
YES, just messed with that now and you can also enter a number in, before it use to allow you to hit enter and see valuesQuote:

Folks still in the market for buying one of these should check out CompUSA. They're marked down 20% and that means their price is less than many Online places.
Thought I'd share this...
Bios 401
8x425 @ 3.4ghz, 1.2v :clap:
I think I have something special here... still priming as I type this. I didn't have the chance to play with 401, but I'm liking it a lot. Solid so far with far less hard crashes. Might stay here for a while.
Just be CAREFUL and price match other places or online first. I've been in CompUSA twice now and everything was marked up to full retail before the % "sales" were added. Didn't see a single deal that couldn't be had for cheaper at BB or newegg.Quote:

check the Hardforums at HardOCP in the Hotdeals section. There is an ongoing thread about Compusa and some folks are posting as they find deals. It will be worth a visit to the stores when they get serious about markdowns.

Are you being deadly serious? Bios change and you've dropped the vCore 0.08v and still stable?!!!! This may explain why I could pull 3.825GHz with 1.48v on the Striker but needed 1.55v on the Maximus to get OCCT stable...Quote:

Started dropping vcore 1 notch and ran occt 30 min test , below 1.40 it bsod at 1.40 currently running occt
temps are not any different from 802 bios, using everest to monitor
This is OCCT with CPU Test, right? Not the 30min Auto test?
used 30 min auto test till I bsod now its running "custom" for 3 hours 38 mins
temps are 57-55-49-48
oh forgot slider is in the middle
The Custom test is the only way to make sure the CPU is OCCT stable. I could run the Auto 30min test all day @ 3.8GHz with like 1.35v but it wouldn't last 5seconds in games or Folding...
I was on 602 and happy lol, I'll check thread, but I think I have allready I tried version 6 but wouldn't install.Quote:

Ok Iv'e found out why mem performance is down, with this bios performance level is set to 10 I used memset and changed it to 7 back on same Latency now and throughput. Guys check it out yourselves download memset and save setting so it runs each time windows loads you will see 1mb extra and 8 ns less performance.
I finally installed my 2nd Maximus and at last i have my main system back and running... :D
Now playing with it. First impressions very good. One quick question, sorry if it has been posted in the past.
Has anyone measured vdimm via a multimeter? With bios 802, i set 2.36v in bios and everest/asus probe shows 2.45v. Is it correct?
The vDimm massively over volts, yes. Up to 0.1v higher in some cases.
I also wonder if the ram still will overvolt by 0.1v's with the new BIOS?
My ram is rated at 1.8 volts, and I want to insure I still should set it for 1.7v's in the BIOS.
