One question: with this board, with C1E and EIST enabled, when you change the vcore to 1,50v for example, at idle, what does the processor do? Change multiplier+voltage, or only multiplier?

Thx :)

My rams do 1142mhz @ 2.1v...prime blend stable, so it ain't the ram...even more towards it being the chipset/bios is the fact that two sticks work jsut fine(also giga board exhibiting same symptoms points in this direction as well...)

You, too, Hornet...I realize you're runinng jsut 2 sticks...but...

Hi, did I not reply that I am running 4 x 1gb sticks at 1066 with default settings, does this help in anyway?

Cedar Mill 533MHz FSB works on this board as long as you don't touch any of the memorysettings (including dividers) :)

So it's quite funny to test a $30 Celeron together with a $250+ mobo :D

Not really. maybe if you could post what bios says it set timings to...need to know which ram you are runnig as well.

Errors here happen at same address regardless of what ram is installed. Tming adjustments make only minor difference..still errors, but get less errors...errors are lessened with an increase of chipset volts..haven't tried over 1.45 tho...I see 450 @ 1.7v here tho..so more playing to be done. haven't tried two sticks in other slots to see if it's the slots either...

Not tried memset or prime yet but 32M runs fine. Ballistix PC8500 and Cellshock PC8000c4. Just set vcore and vdimm (probably could do with less) and 5-5-5-15 rest = auto, just to see if it would run:

Nice GAR, can you reach 550Mhz? Latency doesn´t matter here. And also how they respond to voltage?

I havnt tried any higher but im sure it will do 550, most likely that will be the max for this kit, either way i like it very much, im happy for 200 bucks couldnt get better.....as far as voltage, doesnt respond well, 2-2.1 is where you want to stay. 2v is enough for this kit.

On to Nehalem!
This is where things really get interesting. Intel based Penryn on the Core 2 Duo architecture it designed for the 65nm process. Nehalem should take full advantage of the 45nm process Intel will introduce this year. Here's what Intel has planned:

Two threads per core
Up to eight cores on a chip
An integrated DDR3 memory controller
Integrated graphics on some chips
Dedicated cache memory on each core, plus a large shared cache.
Production will begin in 2008

Yes, Socket B and H but I highly doubt Intel would kill Penryn-sales right after the January mass debut unless AMD has something comparable which doesn't seem to be the case right now... I'd say either late Spring or Fall sounds more plausible for Nehalem.

Is it me, or does the maximus even with loadline calibration have rediculous vdroop?

My p5k premium used to take 1.425v to be stable, I am now priming 12hour at 1.4875. Thats quite a difference, all other voltages are well within reason, oh well least im sub 1.5v at 3.6ghz and finally got a handling on the performance of this board.

Bro, try 2 sticks, that board def has issues with 4 sticks, also try running occt with 4 sticks.....i couldnt get 4 sticks stable on that board for the life of me, but 2 sticks clocked like a monster!!

although 1100 for 4 sticks isnt bad at all i gotta say, as long as its stable i would take it.

My mem is holding me from better performance...
Hope new bios will help. If I can find it, i'll maby try it tonight.

By the way, the board boots @ -145*C whit my cpu, and I heard Syngrow can boot it @ -180 / -190*C whit a celleron, so the board seems to have no coldbug.

i dont know know about any of you guys but i flashed to the 505 bios and it didnt change anything as far as my ability to runmy ram over about 850 mhz so still ram isssues with the bios no need to flash if you dont have problems with 401

edit: just to let you guys know what is happening to me...it boots fine with my ram @ 1066+ but when it trys to start windows before it brings up the windows loading thing the screen just stays black and doesnt go anywhere...odd but it didnt do it when i was using 401

So, like 4 sticks...lol DQ6 too(had to pull it out and try)...my issue here is heat.

I just don't get it. Well, I do, but, on stock cooling, running each ramslot and each expansion slot full creates a ton of heat. I was running like 65-70c on the chipset, southbridge as well, stock cooler, and only two ssticks would work.

Got weird reboots...in the end I powered up and down 12 times before board could complete post. I was trying to get the board to load default settings(nevermind most stuff in bios was on auto at this point, as I had just about given up). Finally it booted completely, so I started over again.

So, i test each ram stick individually in each slot.

Some sticks don't liek some slots...will error...in the exact same place. SO, in case it was ram, I upped voltage from 2.0 to 2.2v.

The error moved.:stick:

Happening just as often, almost down to the millisecond...so I lower volts, and the error moves back.

SO, I put that particular stick in a slot that it did not error on, and procedded to test another stick, with the first in a "good slot".

So, we get to that slot agian, and same error....same place....up volts, moves to the same place...

SO, I'm ready to RMA the board...but I populate all ramslots, taking the stick that had jsut errored and putting it in another slot...ram was almost too hot to touch. Burnt my finger...part of my fingerprint is now burnt :lol2:.

CHipset, it's a bit cooler, but still hard to hold my finger on it for more than like 1/2 a second....

So, I grab a fan, drop it on the ram...et voila! Ce n'est pas difficile! And now it's stable.

SO like...shouldn't a board work with just stock cooling? MUST we add additional cooling to get it to work? I mean I suppose that if I watercooled the chipset, like this board was kind of intended to be used..I would not have ever noticed any issues...but...

how the hell did this board get through QC?:stick: do they not test board fully populated? do they do like the local "I'm-a-geek-that-know's-something-you-don't-so-I'm-gonna-rip-you-off-as-much-as-possible-pc-store" and test with a pci videocard and a siingle DIMM?

:yepp: I think they do. They never put 4 sticks in this board and tested it...they may have put two, maybe, and in a box it went, to be sold.:shakes:

BUt here I an runnning dual 2900XT's, a Phys-X, pci-e tv tuner, 4gb of D9's, and a B2 Core2. stock cooling on everything doesn't work. toss a bunch of fans all over, and it works?:shakes: :shakes:

SO, do I RMA, and hope to get a board that will work on stock cooling with 4 DIMMs, and all slots full, or do I go with what I got, and watercool it?

Hi, well all I can say is my board is fine, although slightly warm, that's probably due to the two pro's flashed to XT's. Perhaps you just have a faulty one, I know that ram should never too hot to touch, I've had that before though and it was the ram.
My ram is as below, 2.2volts, 5-5-5-15, haven't tried it any lower...

divider 4:5 is broken. 5:6 works, 1:1 works, 1:2 works, seems like only 4:5 is broken, not so bad.

Yep Priming as we speak and have been for the last 3 hrs and no droop and 0.01v diff than bios , 1.5 bios = 1.49 in probe and 1.488 in cpuz which is close enough for me

I've tested 2 different P35 boards (Gigabyte P35-DS4 and Abit IP35 Pro) last 2 weeks with 4 different mem sets and haven't manage to be stable with 4:5. Maybe there's a trend... :p:

Asus will fix it, they are the same board. And if they won´t do it, you can do a simple pencil vdroop mod RIGHT NOW. And it works.
