i put in there a Q6700 but i am stuck at FSB 1400MHz and cannot to break it ... where is trick for OCing of 65nm Quads ...?
Hmm I'm still tweaking my GTL1 and GTL3 refs but it seems core4 is my slouch and is always dying in prime.
Anyone know some good VTT settings for the qx9650? Right now I'm running 1.36 VTT and 1.3625 Vcore.. I'm just trying to tune the GTLs so that I get a solid prime and then I'll bring down the volts.
So far I've tried +3 percent (so 70 percent, but 70-67 percent requires a +3percent*vtt*1000 = x mV increase) and I've tried negative values too.
Anyone else have any experience with the GTLs, have negatives worked well for anyone on quads? Not duals? Does more GTLn ref ruin stability or just feed excess volts and not affect stability? Really trying to fine tune here and seeing how far off I am to get the right values.
Got one arriving tomorrow. However I am not hopeful as I cannot get my memory to pass Memtest at 1600MHz irrespective of what I set the FSB, linked or unlinked. Got the new V2 DTek Fuzion coming tomorrow with Quad Core insert as well, so I'll be giving it a run.Quote:

No problems Broly, with that said however I have a quick question regarding running 1:1? At the moment I've currently got my E8400 installed and I'm using BIOS 0511. I've tried to get my board to run 1:1 but no matter what CPU-Z always reads it as 1:2 even though I'm running Linked/Synced with FSB & 1800Mhz and RAM & 1800Mhz. With that said how can I set it up so that I'm running 1:1 instead of 1:2? Thanks for any help you can give!
running at 1800/1800 is 1:2.Quote:

so it is a 1:2 ratio. for 1:1, you would need 1800FSB/900RAM. so then you would be at 450MHz FSB and 450MHz RAM (which would be DDR3-900). HTH
I've got one, but I suck at OC'ing.:yepp:Quote:

yeah gunslinger, getting the quads capable of hitting 1600+ on any board is tough on the s2e.. .It just doesn't like it.
Well I tried the following today when I got home, wouldn't boot under these settings:
P1/P2 enabled
FSB 1800 linked/synced also tried unlinked and auto
CPU 1.35V 3.6Ghz and also tried 3.1
FSB 1.3V
SPP 1.4V
MCP 1.55V
hung on C3 post error
P1 enabled/P2 auto hung on 86 post error
Booted up at 1800FSB linked and synced with the following:
CPU 1.35V 3.6Ghz
FSB 1.3V
SPP 1.4V
MCP 1.55V
P1/P2 in auto
Ok downloaded Everest Ultimate version, trial package. I've never used this program before so please be patient with me. Not sure how my results stack up, but here they are.
Memory read: 8094mb/s
Memory write: 9525 mb/s
Memory copy: 7577 mb/s
Mem. latency: 76.5ns
WHY! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grrr, Im so pissed right now I dont want to know about my build anymore! Freakin IFX-14 is not freakin compatible with the board! im really mad right now. I had to order a Thermalright 120 Extreme with another lapping kit from svc.com with Next day air so I can lap it for saturdays arrivel of my case. Wow... ASUS you really got me mad this time... knowing how people buy the best cooling systems in the market, you make the SIIE incompatible with the IFX-14, amazing.
Crashed at the above settings after about 20 minutes of COD4, like a display driver crash, looked heavy on LOD, could still hear the sound, but screen was hardlocked.
@ slim142, you should be looking in this thread instead I think. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=175399
C3 is a RAM related error.Quote:

I don't want to be rude but I think that was obvious, just look at the picture of that thing. My Thermalright 120 X is a tight fit already.Quote:

I got really pissed because I heard this is the best of the best in heatsinks and I have already bought 2 fans for it (Scythe 1600rpm) and now this...Quote:

Also, can the 120 X hold 2 fans? or only 1 in the front?
I had those freezes for a short while after I got my EVGA 790iU up and going but I carefully tweaked through a plethora of VTT/GTL combinations to find some regions of highest stability then I refined those to what I have now... +2.3% - +2.6% on all GTLVREF lanes... havent had a freeze up in..........Thinking*.......Quote:

Believe me i am so jealous. Although i think im getting closer, tweaking the PCIe Mhz to 103/104 seems to help alot. Im thinking i need a combination of the right settings for PCIe, RAM and VTT/GTL to actually get stable.Quote:

I locked my PCIEs to 100 and my HT to 200, your results may vary.(specs in sig btw)Quote:

So for the past 3hrs I've been running various benchmarks and also just got finished a 2hr gaming session (Vegas 2) and had no issues what-so-ever! I'm about to hit the sack so I'm gonna fire up Prime to run overnight (fingers crossed)! If you want to know my specific BIOS settings just drop me a PM and I'll send them to you.Quote:

Voltages used are as follows in the bios for other people with similar setup to help you out with 475fsb............Following settings is what i use, my computer sometimes stays on for days, i have played crysis for over 2 hours to test, played team fortress 2 for hours, every game i have thrown at it, handles with no problems, passes prime95 for hours, blend and small....good luck
FSB = 475x8, all spread spectrums disabled, cpu features disabled, P1/P2 enables.

memory = 1.900
fsb = 1.400
spp = 1.500
