just got mine E6400 week 26, and gigabyte DS3 with a value mushkin ddr2 800. I'm going to put my force chipset cooler on the nb.. Hopefully can oc to 3.2GHz.
F4 for the DS3 made my CPU temp go up 6 degrees and my system temp droped 2 degrees.
i think my DS3 died :(
i changed some settings in Bios and now wont Boot , the computer is turning OFF and Turning ON automaticly in a cicle and only turn OFF if i turn OFF directly in the power suply .
I already tried clear cmos but wont boot , its the same thing ( turn OFF , turn ON , Turn OFF , Turn ON ......) .
any tips before RMA???
sory for my english
regards
Desliga a board, retira a pilha e faz clear cmos. Espera 1 hora e volta a por a pilha.
oooohhhh week 26 E6400. I wonder how that overclocks compared to the week 25. Please let us know of your oc resultsQuote:

when this hapened i was with a gskill LA working ( no probems) and then i went to the bios , change FSB and then this problem hapened then i went out for 15 days, sold the gskill LA and unpluged all cables and battery and i arrived yesterday and bought a new RAM Teamgroup PC 5300 3-4-4-8 that arrived today and try turn on the computer after i was out for 15 days and the problem steel the same (on-off-on-off) .Quote:

I updated my DS3 bios to F4 official version from F3. I now notice that my machine is no longer dual prime stable. After a few minutes I get an error running dual prime.
I even upped the voltage from 1.40625 to 1.4125 which I know both were dual prime stable before but now neither voltages are working. I am hesitant to bump it up above 1.4125 since I know both of these voltages were working fine for me before.
Everything runs fine, I can game great for hours but no more dual prime stable. Is this important? Why would this change? Is my processor getting damaged from the higher voltage and now starting to malfunction? My temps are exactly the same as before 45C idle/56C dual prime load.
headshot
you need to clear your cmos again and load optimised defaults
and then change a couple of things and save settings reboot change a few more and all the way to settings you remember as working onces...........and slowly get up to the previously stable speed :)
mascaras
can you give me a link for the teamgroup ram you have ?
i know some people say the teamgroup ram works but i also saw some people say when they flash to the new bios the SOME ram will no longer boot.
you have any friends maybe you can use 1 stick of ram ?
the motherboard maybe needs to be RMA'd.
thats what i would do.
if you cant find another stick of ram to test just rma it.
dino's idea of removing the motherboard from the case is 100% correct. that is the correct way to trouble shoot it. but sometimes not needed if it worked one day and then the next day its not working.
But if you rma it you have to take it out anyways so you might as well take it out and test it....
what psu do you have ? there have been a few people here lately that have had PSU's die. and when they replace the psu it works again.
so try that if possible.
yeah your problem could be RAM related there unfortunately..........try and borrow some other RAM to testQuote:

Its just weird though. Same voltages, same everything but not more dual prime stable....
Yeah, wasn't that nice of Gigabyte? I have a Sytrin VF-1 cooler and it's a HUGE PITA to get to the jumper.Quote:

I am wondering if that is now too much and causing sp2004 to fail.

first time when i bought the mobo and CPU this hapened 2 or 3 times but i pulled off the batery 4 ou 5 seconds and then its OK but this time no way to go , thats why i think the mobo is dead.
regards
could be dead yes.
well i'd call gigabyte and see what they say and try for an rma.
if you have a different video card try that too.
try anything. video,, ram,, psu.. cpu.. its alot of work but if you can figure out the problem you'll feel good that you did all the work yourself and found the problem
but its very strange cause this mobo already works with all this components( VGA, CPU,RAM,..) and a simply settings change cause this , i think bios is corrupted.
im thinking in change for a ASUS P5B non deluxe , what you say???
regards
So which of these bios are working the best right now? Is it the official or the beta bioses.
OK , already send it to RMA , now i have to wait :rolleyes:
regards
only 2 hours later and you already shipped it out for RMA ? lol
and yes if you changed something in the bios and when you rebooted it doesnt work anymore ? yeah that sounds like a corrupt bios.
i hate gigabyte for not making a socketed bios chip that is really lame. but then again if they did that maybe they would add $7 to the cost. who knows.
but if the bios crashes your screwed.
only way to recover is if the bios can boot to when you see "bios recovery...."
yep i already shiped to RMA , im tired of this crazy gigabyte , and before this problem hapened i was also tired of the computer boot with xxx setings and next minute dont boot with same settings and so on ......Quote:

MAKE SURE TO RESET CMOS DATA!!! Check out my results after upgrading to F4 and resetting CMOS! 400 x 8 at DEFAULT VCORE NOW!

whatever , i already send it to RMA , i hope they send me a new and good mobo that run high FSBs :D

i just built a new E6400 week 26 and DS3.. with stock bios (F3) i cant oc a single MHz, then i quickly install windows and flash to bios F4 and things become amazingly wonderful..
@ stock vcore i already stable for Super PI at 400x8 :D
LOL? e6400 week 24 retail in order to get 400fsb i have to set vcore to 1.5 just to get to windows wtf. i dont believe your stories of stock volts, sorry :) unless i got a very very very bad mobo AND cpu...very low chances.
3.2 @ stock is NORMAL for ES chips.
and there shouldnt be a problem for retail chips.
vintage your issues of 1.5v @ 400fsb are BAD BAD BAD and i mean that
thats absolutely HORRIBLE
that has to be the worst clocker i have ever seen.
whether you believe it or not your hardware .. there is something wrong.
very HIGH chances you got a bad mobo or bad cpu.
just cuz you have 6400 doesnt me jack sh|t it means N O T H I N G
the exact same cpu same week and same build built from the same production line in the same country does NOT in any way shape or form mean you will have the same results as the other guy.
to even think that is funny.
thats why i scoff at people who say xxxx week of cpu, everyone else is getting super high overclocks. that is going to help but its no guarentee.
and i have had MANY 0520 0519 and 0522 AMD64's all good weeks
every god dang one of them was crap compared to other peoples.
you have something wrong with your system and you need to fix it in order to get your clocks up
f4 bios seems to have some sort of auto voltage adjustment if you leave the voltage set on "normal" ... probably not a good idea to do that.

and 1 more thing, the E6400 is week 26, not 24.
thx~
here is the pics, i dunno why cpuz shows vcore as 1.424. All i know is i dont change anything except vmch, vfsb & vpcie.. each to +0.1v
and i dun care if people say i'm cheating, bcoz i'm not hunting for glory or fame, i just want to share what i got, maybe week 26 is a better oc, :D hehe

The reason I suspect that is your temps. The only way my temps ever reach that high is because the voltage is higher than stock, infact much higher (it was 1.4v in my case when I had it on normal and 400fsb, which doesn't work for me at stock voltage btw). And at stock voltage 2.8ghz I get 26'c idle and 44'c load on scythe ninja +. That leads me to believe you don't have your voltage set in the bios to a certain amount, you just have it on "normal".
that is the actual vcore mateQuote:

check with DMM if you aren't sure
I am interested to know how that week 26 goes
can you go to bios and select 1.325v and OC......show up how far you can go with orthos sp2004
useful info dinos~! ok i'll try to set it manually soon. if as u say it happens bcoz of bios then it does relieve me. Bcoz i feared that my board is overvoltage and i need to RMA it.
another thing is my DQ6 is on bios F3g. i cant do vmch over +0.2v and vfsb over +0.15v..
vmch over +0.2v ---> my screen goes blank, unless i put my xtx in slot 2 :(
vfsb over +0.15v ----> it wont boot. i have to reset cmos :(
any of u guys faced these before? i dunno how to fix them..
thx!
Upon further investigation it seems that if VCore is set to 1.45 or higher EIST cannot be disabled now.
is that really a X1900XTX??:confused:Quote:

Any newer bios than F3 for the DQ6 yet???
i dun think so... F3 is so far the latest.. I just hope the next bios will allow me to go higher than 0.2vmch.
whats cooling ur ram?Quote:

Well after my first DS3 dies due to the crappy F4e bios I got my new board RMA'd.... Im using the amazing F4 bios now :) at 400x7 with a 6300 & 2gb XMS2 6400 all stock volts. Priming ATM & its stable. Gunna give it some more later
:)
On my DS4 im using F3b bios, is there any better bios's? (that help the overclock :))
Is there a F4x out yet for the DQ6??
I went back to the beta F3g as it seems to be more stable than the F3 release.
Thanks,
Mel
Hear that: I updated my DQ6 BIOS from the old D25, to the newest F3 and now my GF7900GT works in the PCI-E x1 mode instead of the x16 mode. I also tried the F2 bios, and still the same. My 3D scores are twice as low as they used to be. CPU-Z and nvidia drivers confirm that my 7900GT works in x1 mode. F*** How to solve the problem? Tried different PCI-E clocks and loaded fail-safe defaults, but still the same. Help!
EDIT: I've solved the problem (or rather it solved itself). I simply switched my computer off and after 30 minutes when I switched it on it was already working in the x16 mode. Weird indeed. I have yet to see such a strange thing.
What's wrong with the F4e BIOS? I thought this was what most people were using now, and so that's what I flashed to. Am I in danger of killing my board?Quote:

That being said, the F4 versions seem to be the most stable, and fix the PIO mode bug if you are using RAID + IDE.

hhmm cliffy is your ram the OCZ PC6400 XTC ?
if so that ram will do 1000mhz on most baords easy @ 5-5-5
set the ram at 2.0 divider and it will be a 1:1 ratio to your fsb.
so if your only doing 350mhz FSB the ram will only be 700mhz.
this gives you lots of headroom to increase the fsb
but you will always want ot remember to increase the vdimm and vcore respectively.
if you cant get past that spot raise the vcore to 1.45 you shouldnt have any problems getting higher.
I think you miss read my CPU is an E6300 the FSB is already on 450 and want go 1Mhz over :mad: PCI-E FSB and GMCH all on +.1 (raising them makes no difference) and MEM is at +.3 can get more out of the mem but not my raising the fsb
ohh 6300 yeah i misread sorry bout that.
Read what I quoted from samcin. He said that the F4e BIOS killed his mobo. I guess I was wondering if this was a common issue or not, it has nothing to do with who prefers which BIOS.Quote:
