I've Bsel 266->333 and there i've increased my fsb up to 379fsb, dunno is that just in my mobo or all of em :shrug:
I don't understand- first you say Bsel 333->400 and then you say Bsel 266->333.Quote:

Hehe,Quote:

The X5470's in that machine are the slickest most solid machine I've ever owned bar none.
This is exactly what I'm gonna do IF I get a refund. Otherwise I'm stuck.Quote:

I don't know if you guys know about this:
You probably do, but I just thought I'd bring it to your attention in any case:Quote:

I just mentioned this to my supplier and they had no hassles sending the board immediately, and then I can just return the dead board within 14 days. So no RMA bull or anything:up:Much better sevice from the supplier than from ANus.
This seems on-topic for now, but I expect it won't stay that way.Quote:

Ok, so I got lucky this time. Hope they don't find out about it in the meantime. I just hope I don't have the same problems again.Quote:

No, not really. Just need a tiny piece of insulation tape to cover 2 of the outer pins, like this:

Yellow pins must be covered, be sure to count them right and watch CPU orientation. Green pins are for VID modding, that's a lot harder to do though.

Yup , both my SuperMicro and Tyan boards did that. The clockgenerator is 'stuck' somehow :DQuote:

This way it thinks everything is set ok and don't need to start recalibrate the clockgen at boot :D
I would highly recommend the Intel Skulltrail. I have one running 24/7 on a watercooled rig at 4Ghz using 2 QX9775's. I had it at 5ghz 8 cores on vapor but have since moved it to water. It is an extremely reliable platform. I even had my E5430's running perfectely at 3.2 Ghz with minimum voltage increase. It does not like high FSB's and personally I wouldn't even try anything higher than 410 FSB.
I have since gotten this Asus board hoping to get more performance out of my E5430's. Although I can run it at 3.2 Ghz , it will not prime more than a couple of hours. I then went down to 3 Ghz and also it will not prime for more than a couple of hours. I guess I will have to go to default speed now and maybe order a new D5400xs. Not being able to use LGA 775 HSF's is a real pain in the ass and had I known that I wouldn't even have dreamed of getting this Asus. The Noctua HSF for LGA 771 would cost more than the additional cost for spending a bit more and getting a D5400XS.
The only thing I like about the Asus is that it is a small motherboard and will fit in almost any case. That is unfortunately not true with the Skulltrail ... I had to shop very hard to be able to get something that would fit that motherboard.
Hello,
For those of you that have the dreaded "black-screen" upon bootup after exiting the BIOS, well, there's a simple trick I discovered with the Z7S that works for me.
I have a HP P800 and Dell Perc 5i Raid controllers, with the HD4870X2 Gfx card, and sometimes it doesn't give the POST code after doing BIOS changes and restarting.
It would just spin the fans up, that's it, no video or POST.
While it's in that state, press the "Del" key, and keep it in for 5-15 seconds, board should reset BIOS defaults and POST.
Please let me know if this works for you guys with "BIOS" issues.
Best regards,
MrBean
Used to do something similar with old K7 boards: Hold the delete or insert key from the time you press the power button until you get a POST/BIOS screen. Only ever worked when setting the FSB though and only works with PS2 keyboards.Quote:
