wow heh
didnt really fixed anything ... OCing the same
wtf, i've spent US$40 on the Rev.301 board and it just doesn't support Conroe after the mod.
wtf, i must say, wtf....
Hey this might sound like a really idiotic and simple question, and I want to make it clear I HAVE VERY CAREFULLY READ THROUGH THIS ENTIRE THREAD, I have also searched through the forums for this answer....
Anyway, here's my question:
How do I overclock my processor in the BIOS for the D975XBX??
In Advanced > Chipset configuration menu in BIOS, I have set my DDR2-533 memory to 667 speed, with appropriate timings and voltage, and it works flawlessly (memtest+ STABLE, NO ERRORS). There is NO CPU:MEM RATIO setting, and I was told earlier in this thread that this was "automatic"; meaning that the motherboard would automatically set the divider accordingly.
In Advanced > Chipset configuration there a number of "burn-in" options, including an option called Host Burn-in Mode Percentage.
I assumed that this option would either increase the total BUS/FSB speed, and the clock speed of the processor itself.
I have a core 2 duo E6400 with an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro; CoreTemp reports about 41C idle and 56C load.
I set the Host burn-in mode percentage to a modest number: 5%. As I understand, a 5% overclock should be NO PROBLEM on air for this CPU.
After setting this option, my PC failed to boot and I was forced to manually reset CMOS as detailed in the D975XBX manual.
I'm wondering if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
try setting the memory to 533 :shrug:
when set to 667 and increasing the FSB by 5%, the memory is then running at DDR698
what memory do you have?
A-DATA Vitesta DDR2-533Quote:

I mean, it says RIGHT THERE in the bios that the memory is set to 667. I was told earlier in the thread that the D975XBX uses an automatic divider. Otherwise how would I ever be able to overclock??
Can someone help me?
When I oc the speed on my bad axe 3.04 with E6600 at the 1333 strap, at 3890mhz its superpi 1m at 13 secs, but when I set it just 1% more to 3900+, the superpi results became 15+ seconds at 1 m.
Can't for sh#t undderstand why, read through the threads about the 1333 strap but doesn't tell me anything. Check my rams but it's ok, .\\\
Please advise.

The memspeed is the ratio setting....At 1066 strap, setting the mem to 533=1:1...mem @ 667=4:5 ratio etc.
ahhhhh ok I understand....so it's NOT really "667", it's the divider. Overclocking the FSB would mean that the REAL speed would be much higher. Thanks. :)Quote:

Ok, here's a question;
What would give me a bigger practical gain in gaming?
Keeping the memory @ DD2-667
or
OCing the BUS/CPU and having a LOWER memory speed (like 600)?
Spent better part of a day trying to boot from a cd and install windows.Quote:

Then on a hunch... I said... maybe I'm just not seeing the "Hit any key to boot from CD" message that normally occurs when one has a bootable CD in the drive, and the drive in 1st in the boot order.
So I hit enter randomly .... after post.... sure enough it booted to the CD...
To this day... still can't get it to display "Hit any key to boot from CD"...
shows a blank screen instead. Monitor is initialized... see post...
Other .. freeky thing... MANY hangs in BIOS... cant go more than 5 or 10 minuntes without the BIOS freezing up.... requires a reset...
However... stress tests ... and windows have never locked up..
I wouldn't go less than 1:1 on the memory speed....since you have already tested the ram to run 667 speeds, try this: memory set to 533 + 25% burn in. That will give ya a around 2660mhz CPU with mem around 667...then just go up slowly from there.Quote:

Previously on my P5W DH it was just a case of setting the FSB to 390 and setting the divider so I achieved around 800 which at 390 was 775 memory and I managed 1:1. Bliss!
On the Badaxe I have set 40% overburn 667 on the memory and 1066 BS. It Boots fine but doesn't run at 1:1. If I set 800 on the memory it refuses to boot. I have set the voltage on the memory to 2.1 Really starting to tear my hair out.
What settings do I need to achieve 1:1 at 390FSB which is about 3.52G on a 6600. I'm using Bios 1305
I really love the quality of the board but jeez this board is hardcore. I have the option to swap my P5W DH (1.85 on the MCH) for this BadAxe for free. I was hoping the better voltage stability would let be go a little further OC wise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
533 is 1:1 on the 1066 strap.....
You want mem set to 533 + 46% or 47% burn in, that will give you around what you want.
Many thanks will give it a try. :)Quote:

Cool..... I really like this board, but I got stuck with a IDT chip. 30% max OC really sucks when I consider the fact that I paid the same as someone with an ICS chip :slap: .Quote:

i might return this IDT chip board n wait for Abit
also some OCing tips questions:
1. does this board like 4:5 better than 1:1 ??
2. should i increase PCI clock to 40 and PCI-E clock to 109.5???
I have a set of DDR800 RAM and an E6600. Most of the posts I have read have told me to set the strap at 1066 and run 1:1 with the memory at 533. This is how I have it currently set and I'm running a modest 25% overclock (3.0ghz) on the stock cooler. I feel like I'm selling my RAM short though - would I see a performance hit if I stepped up to 1333:667 1:1, I guess with 2T internal lat?
Or, would I be better just to stick with 1066:533?
depending on the memory, i'd try just switching to the 667MHz memory setting (leave the FSB strap at 1067) this should make your memory run at around ddr2-830 or 415MHz
i dunno i set to DDR2 667, so it gives me 4:5 ratio
and I OC it to 426fsb (my CPU's fsb wall) so RAM is 533MHz or 1066MHz DDR2
oh and i have 1333fsb strap, cuz that way when i OC with setfsb it sticks
Does, BadAxe support Kentsfield or NOT??
I saw pictures w/Kentsfield on BadAxe, but I;m not shore who to trust?
1 yes, and 2:3 too (all div works fine)Quote:

i'd have one request for bad axe owners.
download RW everything from here: http://home.kimo.com.tw/ckimchan.tw/bin/RwV018.rar
boot up with 1333 strap and 1:1 mem
in that program, Access-Command
type "r32 fed14e08h", excl " marks of course, and tell me the result.
also repeat the procedure with 1066 start 1:1 if possible.
also, if you can, do this.
in rwe, access-memory.
in memory window, click "bin" icon.
set FED14000 as start address and length to 1000. then save .bin file, should be 4kB in size.. would be nice if with both 1333 and 1066 straps..
need that information because i'm investigating the possibility of forcing 1333 strap on other 975x boards..
thanks
with my e6600 im hitting a wall around 370 fsb. Would it be safe to say the board is more than capable and that its just my processor that wont go any higher?
.com.tw ?? thailand? taiwan??
@specv
i think u can go higher with close to 1.5v vcore real, so about 1.54v vcore in BIOS = 1.5v vcore real
u should be able to reach 3.6GHz with no problem.
also, what clock gneerator u got? IDT or ICS?? mine is IDT and BIOS bootable is 400fsb, however once get into windows i can use setfsb set it to 426fsb (max for the chip i think)
@ all the bad axe owner with ICS chip
now can u guys with the ICS clock generrator boot at 50%?? also can u use setfsb or some program to overclock it and reboot, and it sticks. By sticks i mean what ever clock speed u set in setfsb it just stays there even after reboot. so normally u can only boot at 50% overclock 400fsb, but using setfsb to 450fsb and boot at 450fsb???
CPU@Limit & BIOS@Limit (but the mother board can give me more mhz on FSB:D)

And this is the Maximal boot (cpu it's very hot for boot at 4,5ghz)

Sorry for size of screen, but i love this motherboard:D
vFSB 1,39v
vMCH 2,00v
vDIMM 2,3v
vCORE 1,75v
my goal was 3.6, i set to the max voltage to evertyhing and couldnt do better than 380. i have my memory is 800mhz running at 533. So at 400fsb it will only be running at 800 so i know that isnt the issue. Any other pointers?Quote:

hey for IDCC can u boot with the clock u set in IDCC?? or is it gone after u reboot?
Yes....anytime you up the FSB higher than the 30% max the IDT is capable of from bios (using setfsb or systool), IDCC will not start.Quote:

EDIT: yes IDCC changes are saved as long as you hit the "save and reboot" buttonQuote:

hmm i was able to boot at 400fsb which is 50% OC with my E6400 + badaxe 305 IDT ... when i choose 1333fsb strap and 30% burn in ....
this is weird is it?
When I choose 1333 strap, nothing changes. In bios the "system bus override" says 1333, but everything else is still at 1066.....same in windows.
what do u mean same in windows?? when u change fsb strap to 1333 does it mean that ur fsb is changed to 333?? i dont know, cuz if thats true, then 333 x 1.3 = 432fsb which is what i have in BIOS, 1333fsb strap and 30% burn in
That's the way it's supposed to work, just not for me... at 1333 strap, fsb should be 333...and mem at 667 for 1:1 ratio. 533 on mem would become a 5:4 ratio on this strap.
Everything at 1333strap +30% is the same as 1067 + 30%
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...sonal/1333.jpg
yeah but when i set 1333 fsb strap and 30% burn in, i get 400fsb when boot ....
i thought fsb strap is like the lower level setting for fsb, so it has nothing to do with fsb?!?! not sure, but i do know that setting it to 133fsb strap the board lets u go higher fsb but lower clock for clock performance.. can anyone confirm that?? whether fsb strap changes the fsb??
1333 strap doesn't work on IDT chips. You can set it, but it functions as 1066.
I think theres some very wrong rumors about the 1333 strap, its not even close to true that it ALWAYS gives MUCH lower performance, i think lots of those who claim that 1333strap just suxx is basing it on some SuperPi 32M runs that was posted here a while back. Real world usage doesnt have so big similarities with 32M SPI. Ofcourse theres a higher performance with FSB420/1333 than FSB400/1066 in most cases, at least it was on my Bad Axe/E6300.
That's the interesting thing though....some of these guys using IDT based mobo's with 1333 strap selected in bios, have been able to get the FSB to "stick" using setfsb.Quote:

well actually its not that bad, couple seconds in super pi aint gonna kill u , also it gives u more headroom in fsb. with 1066fsb strap selected i couldnt go above 8x399fsb, with 1333 fsb strap selected, i can do 8x426fsb maxed at 8x432fsb ...Quote:
Originally Posted by ted3

and i have IDT chip
Really is an interesting board. I'm really impressed by how robust this board is when you run at a specfic OC. It might be a pain in the a$$ to get there though. Cracking board!
I'm using Bios 1304 what's the best bios for this board? I'm using a 305 ICS. I know there is a newer one on the Intel site, any good?
I noticed Intel only provide the latest. Is there a place that contains all the BIOS revs?
Is there a program that will save the current Bios?
Sorry for the questions :)

when i set the strap to 1333, in the bios it says the strap is at 1333. But when i boot into windows its only saying 1066Quote:

nvm, i think its weird .. with 1333fsb strap i can boot with w/e clock i set with setfsb!! and it can go as much as 424fsb until my cpu crapped out, i am pretty sure this board can do 450fsb no problemo.
i think people with IDT clock ghenerator should apply thje otmimal setting first, then reboot, then just set 1333fsb strap in BIOS, reboot again. in windows just use setfsb, i think download links is at the last couple page of this thread, then after u set ur fsb to w/e u set in setfsb u should be able to boot at that clock speed. its important that u apply the "optimal setting" in bios b4 u set 1333fsb strap, and use setfsb.
i use pc wizard to monitor voltage, anyway when i idle vcore is like 1.583v and during load its like 1.571v, is that bad??
Did you have enable Enhanced Power Slope in bios???Quote:

That's about where I had to raise it too... I set Vmch to 1.52 and Vfsb to 1.27 (each one step up from default) and have no problem running up to around 3240mhz (that's with Vcore @ 1.29 actual).Quote:

Oh....just noticed a new Intel Desktop Utility released 9-15-06 (Version 3.0.6.10) now has official support for the 975x
http://support.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/idu/
LOL there goes one more mystery! I was wondering why does the IDU freeze when i go to monitor menu...
i just installed my cpu (6600) in my bad axe rev305 and i have a few questions/remarks
1. hmm...i can't seem to find the speaker connector....it seems it doesn't have one....not that i cared that much but i was a bit puzzled at first
2. it came with bios 1304 and the cpu is correctly detected. i will update the bios once i install windows, but i looked for the voltage and the burn-in options and there are none. where they added with a later bios? if i update to bios 1378 will they appear?
3. i have a microsoft curve 4000 usb keyboard. i browsed the bios around 15 minutes and it didn't lock up, so i guess it's not the usb keyboard locking the bios with these rev305 boards (dunno about rev304 though).
4. i.m planning to oc to 3GHz on stock vcore (i have stock cooling for now), so besides increasing vmch and vfsb are there any tweaks i should be aware of? (EIST is disabled, VD is disabled)
5. i have 2GB corsair 5400C4. they are rated 4/4/4/12 but in bios i can adjust only 4/4/4/15. weird, maybe the bios update will let me adjust it properly. about the vdimm, does anyone know what should i choose? i've set 1.9V for now.
other than that, no problems whatsoever. it worked flawlessly right from the start.
thanks
PS i'lll post an update once i install OS
the Intel Desktop Utility still won't install in Windows XP x64 :slapass:
@ hostile
1. Not sure what you meant, sorry
2. You'll have to do the OC Debug mod with some conductive ink (see first post in this thread)
3. It was mentioned somewhere in this thread, but i have also found that the bios freezes aren't really locking up, it's more like a long pause and it's mainly when i change memory dividers and i exit the bios. if i leave it for a couple more seconds it boots right up
4. none that i can think of off the top of my head
5. I've not had that problem, but i did find that the only way i could change it was to use the +/- on the numeric keypad. As for vdimm, whatever works best for your particular set of mems :up:
The badaxe has a built in speaker on the motherboard. That is why you won't find a connection for one from your case.Quote:
1. hmm...i can't seem to find the speaker connector....it seems it doesn't have one....not that i cared that much but i was a bit puzzled at first
adamant415, yeah, i noticed it has one after searching for a connector for a few minutes :)
Pyr0, i'll try to change from 15 to 12 using +/-. i tried by hitting enter. i hoped a selection menu would pop-up...but nothing happenned. anyway, i thought the mod was only for vcore and straps, not for the other voltages and burn-in options. if i really have to do it, i'll probably use a small wire cause i don't want to void warranty (its 3 years). i'm at work now but i'll get home in a couple of hours and post when i'm done. btw, bios is reporting 44 idle. is that ok?
thanks
I have a temperature question. In IDU my CPU temp goes up to 55 in a SECOND when i start primes and it goes up to 57. when i shut both primes down it falls back to 42 in a SECOND and then slowly drops to 37... i doubt the CPU temp can raise or fall that rapidly, should i believe in IDU's CPU temp reading, or is there a better tool to see it?

i finally managed to tweak the system and it now idles at 33C at stock frequency with intel stock heatsink. now i have a problem with the video card (BFG 7900GT OC). sometimes primary monitor shows an out of range error after entering windows, but i think this is a driver problem.
hostile, what are changes that you made to drop the temperature.
I have BadAxe 305 & E6600(no overclock), it idles around 50C and load 64/65C.
lets see....enter bios and disable EIST (from Power section), cpu fan control and system fan control (from Advanced/Boot Configuration). now, I have an Antec 1050B with 2 80mm front fans, 1 80mm side fan, a 92mm fan in the air duct over the cpu and a 120mm rear fan. All except rear fan are also Antec fans at max speed and the rear fan is Arctic Cooling. I installed IDCC and IDU. When launching IDCC the speed of the fans goes down and temp goes up, so don't do it unless you're willing to do some more tweaking. Launch IDU and check the processor temp and cpu fan speed. mine says 1986-1988 speed and 33C idle. Coretemp also shows 33C idle on first core and 30C idle on second core. Bios shows 37C cpu temp (latest bios). Also check if your heatsink is properly seated.
Now, I haven't done the OC debug mod since I only want almost 3GHz and I hope I'll get there on stock vcore. After I updated to the latest bios (from 1304 to 1378) vmch, vfsb, 50% bunin and pci/pcie freq are available in bios. I think I can do 3GHz with these, but I haven't tested yet (lots of work and no time to mess with settings).
rk1974, before tweaking these settings I had 43-44C idle in bios, so i guess you must reseat the cpu. 50C idle is a lot.

Ok guys i had a problem with my damn corsair ram, it is running at 333mhz instead of 667, i tried to change the setting in the bios to the timings specified for this ram from the default 5-5-5-15 to 4-4-4-12 and the voltage to 1.9 as Hostile suggested to me, but it still running at 333mhz any suggestions?
http://www.prtc.net/~neojapan/1111.jpg
333 is the real speed of your memory, double it to get the DDR rating ;)
333MHz=DDR666 (DDR667)
the RAM frequency CPU Z report is DRAM frequency, its DRAM 333Mhz, but its rated at DDR2 667 (the marketing number)
DDR2 = DRAM x 2 , so 333 x 2 = 666 which is about 667
And I display my infinite noobness yet again :slap:Quote:

i'm at 3.0GHz at stock Vcore. i only raised vmch to 1.52V and vfsb to 1.27. burn is 25%, ram at 800 so i got 3.0GHz CPU and 1GHz RAMQuote:

Using the methods described in image #3 of the first post I had no problems enabling the options in bios on my rev. 304 board. I now have a rev.305 using a 6600 es and cannot get the options to appear. Is there something that needs to be done differently using the rev. 305 board. I'm currently using the 1378 bios and can't go back to far with bios because I'm using a 7950gx2. Thanks.lll Nevermind, got it. Must have had bad contact.
guys is badaxe temp report accurate?? i use PC wizard n got to 70c!!! during full load
I am having some weird issues with my XBX...
I finally got all my stuff together and my loop is rockin allong, but whenever I go to my 1333 strap and try to boot past 30% it clocks back to 2.62Ghz (sometimes to 2.92Ghz). :confused:
I know that the IDT clock generator only allows 30% ocing in bios, but I have the ICS chip. I know that my FSB is good to around 450 because I can use systool to well past 3.5Ghz.
Even then 3.4 feels pretty good with my RAM 1:1. Still having probs tightening my timings much past rated, even at 2.4 Vdimm.
I know that this chip has more in it, and this is the place to ask what is up with the board reclocking FSB for me. Any opinions?

......BUT, I will say that even so, 70C is pretty high. You really don't want to reach that temp with these chips.
