don't worry, your temps are more then fine ;)Quote:

Not having that problem, only had the patience for 4 hours of small fft and 4 hours of blend - just curious.
My temps for those interested:
-sfxsQuote:
3060 L628B - VID: 1.225v
3.4Ghz @ 378x9.0, 1.350v (in bios)
Ambient 27c (cased, 12v/7v fan mix for quiet, on water)
Idle 41c (8800gtx Idle: 40c - same loop)
SmallFFT Loaded: 60c
Blend Loaded: 57c
I never saw a cpu dying because of overheating with reasonable voltage and good mounting/ proper cooling use.
Let it run and heat :P
Anyone have any info as to how BIOS 2431 affects o/c?
Bios 2431 made my overclocks go way down, even on overclocks that I know are Orthos stable. I believe it deals with the new failsafe part of cpu not posting it goes into bios automatically. I went back down to 2333 and everything is gravy again. :cool:
There doesn't seem to be much difference if you disable Watchdog.... I get the same clocks out of 2333, 2395, and 2431 with mem scores improving with each new bios. The board runs fine up to 435 on my E6600, of course the chip runs out of gas there so I don't know where the max is....
where is that Watchdog thing i heard , havent see it on bios?Quote:

Hi@all again. Can someone tell me why the Fan speed at this board is only at 75% by me?
I´m running on 3,3GHZ in the mom but I can´t get higher because the temps are: IDLE 38-40°C and under full load 60°C. I have the scythe infinity HS with 2x 120mm Fans on it one Papst and one Enermax the Papst shows 1170rpm in the monitor (max should be 1500) the enermax is (1800) but it should have 2400rpm. I´m wondering why????? The automatic fan control is off in the bios.
Anyone an idea??? :(

I have a rev 505 and I also hit a brick wall at 390 FSB.Quote:

Does this with 2333 and 2395, haven't tried the new BIOS, as I doubt it will help.
Perhaps this is a 505 issue?
I've been using my board with RAM at 3-3-3-8 388mhz 2.2v, CPU at 1.4v 9x388, and it's been tested stable with an overnight memtest, and 5 hours Small FFTs - but any time I do large FFT or blend in ORTHOS I get an error usually less than 10 minutes in. Why is ORTHOS crashing if it's so stable in memtest??
Right now I'm fooling around (in 2333), switching to 1GB ram and default memory settings, and it is ORTHOS blend stable for 15 minute so far. I'm going to keep tweaking and see what I can do about this 390 FSB wall that us 505 owners seem to be hitting.
On the plus side my Tuniq Tower is kicking ass, I'm getting a 47-50C load at 3.495 GHz with 1.385vcore, stable for the past few hours. Too bad I can't take advantage of this awesome cooler cause the damn thing won't go past 3.5 :mad:
do you know the differences among the various revisions of the board?
I'm about to buy the 505 Revision, is it any better than the previous ones or just the same but with different bios?
I don't think other 505 owners are having such :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty results as me cyber_terror.
Supertim0r is saying stock FSB and vMCH voltages and 1.4vcore for 3.6 GHz (9x400), and I can't even go 3.495 with those settings without BSODs and auto restarts.
:mad:

what exactly does C1E and EIST do?
C1EQuote:

They come in very handy when you are working at or close to stock speeds to save on power and heat that goes to the CPU while it isn't being used heavily. It would be interesting to see how it is setup in the BIOS to work with much higher then normal settings. such as does the lower voltage default to something way below what would even run windows. Questions for the ages
Have you tested your CPU on another board?Quote:

uberwurst, did you buy yours from the UK by any chance ?
Funny, I have EIST disabled and my multi and voltage change on the fly. Perhaps it's because C1E is still enabled? Another thing that I haven't figured out is that in the BIOS if I set the vcore to say 1.375, on the bottom of that same BIOS page it still shows that my vcore being 1.325 even after I save, exit and go back in afterwards. It does not change. Is this normal?Quote:

So you have good cpu. I think you need to check your north bridge now.Quote:

you can see your "real" vcore under the advanced -> hardware menu.Quote:

Yes, but the NB/ram aint getting to hot if its not even posting at 390FSB.Quote:

Thats why i think its to do with the chipset timings.
Well. Another remote possiblity is that the heatsink does not contact to north bridge chip properly. It's either the NB or the ram that cannot sustain the throughput. What's you ram sticks?Quote:
