I have the modded bios 09/14 and it works without a glitch... no 2nd bios saving necessary - the DFI-util on the disk gives me the bios-set voltages in windows right from the start...

Woohoo! Mine just shipped 5 hours ago.
Now for the rest of the PC...
yeah i run the 4v modded bios too and i havent noticed the 2nd reboot thing? infact i never heard of that til now! btw what are you guys using to cool your nb? i have this thermalrite NB-1 but i cant use anything for my video card but stock and im suffern bcause of it. i need to get somthing low-profile so i can get better cooling on my video card. any ideas?
thx perc.
Perc, I amagine many are using the stock cooler on the NB.
For my MB cooling I am using what came on it but with a little bit of air pushing on top of it..
As shown here...
Of course you know where the MB is located even though you can't see it...but it stays pretty cool just like that and I am running v1.8 to it. That little Vantec Dual PCI Fan system works pretty well. And I attached two fans together at a 90° to form that and it just sits on top of my GFX and cools that back of my card as well as the side fans blows the air in down on the MB. Highest I have seen my MB go was 35C or so at full load. It goes as low as 28C idle. My CPU idles at 26-29C, full load it will hit 40C. For air cooling this isn't bad. I got a few ideas of some other places to mount fans but I had to order some 3-Pin-to-4-Pin adapters and I am going to rig a fan blowing straight down on the RAM slots. Pushing air across the whole board. I got the idea from OC_Newbie. *Thanks man :toast: *
i got my board today :D and put it in case. i have a 60mm fan rigged up on ram, this board has so much more space around ram, on my kv8 pro the hs touched the ram.
when i can backup my e drive ill install xp and then we can see some numbers!
2T performance sucksQuote:

Isn't it better?
i have the same memory running 3-4-4-8 at 275 1:1 1T whats the max your adata will run? also i didnt know this adata would run anything lower then 3cas and i see your getting away with a 3 instead of a 4 on the one timming? i need to try that see what i can get...Quote:

At 250 2.5-4-3-8-1T it seems to be but after many hours prime95 fails
Btw I'm running 2x512. Are u running the same?
Strange, i also got a Mach 1 R507 (Display -45C idle) and i get -14C idle and + 19C under load with 2.4@2.9GHz @1.76v ... strange..Quote:

Pic with settings also.
Dimm slot most near CPU is the only one working in this speed.
What are your exact settings for that? can you please use that little chat you posted awhile back? Because I can't hit that high on my RAM.Quote:

2x512mb Patriot PC3200XBL(Samsung TCCD). 250~255MHz 1:1 with 2.5,3,3,8,1t @ 2.8v perfectly stable. Any higher on the RAM frequency and I have to take a stick out, slackening RAM timings and/or increasing RAM voltage does not help at all. Tried two different CPUs too, a 3200+ NC and a 3000+ ClawHammer CG.
With 1 stick in slot 1 I can do 300MHz 1:1 2.5,3,3,8,1t MemTest86 stable, but wont boot into Windows :(
what dimm do you consider dimm1 the one closest to the cpu or the farthest? reason i ask is becuase with the one closest to the cpu i can not run using 2 sticks i have to use the middle one and the one farthest away from the cpu to run two sticks....
*edit* ok i see on the pcb that dimm 1 is closest to the cpu so its dimm2&3 that i have to use to run 2 sticks....
thx perc,
Well it seems that the CPU makes a big difference when it comes to how high you can clock your RAM as well. Since the memory controller is onboard. I am stuck with my CPU that doesn't allow me to clock my CPU very high with high RAM clocks. I get errors. But even when I do not get errors in MemTest-86, Windows still isn't stable. I am wondering if more voltage would help that? But I already have my RAM at v2.9 and TCCD maxes out at that pretty much. I do plan to add a few more fans.
I see your using 2T...does it work with 1T as well? And the one closet to CPU is DIMM3 correct? Sorry I can't remember...I am not at home at the moment. I am at the girlfriends because she was getting jealous.Quote:

Heh, I've got a 120mm YSTech fan bolted to my Swiftech, with just enough overhang to blow air over the RAM as well as the CPU's HS. 130cfm keeps the RAM cool to the touch, even at 3.4v. :p: :D ;)Quote:

peace perc,
LOL, I edited it the same time as your post :)
Alright thanks man. I shall give it a shot tonight. And see what I can get maybe. But I really want to work on my CPU clocks now...I need someone that knows alot about the Skt 754s and overclocking them. Since there is alot of issuses that have to deal directly with the RAM.Quote:
