dfi needed .026 more volts to become stable... cant even get 4.05 stable @ 4.6v... though that is probably due to gtl... silly 0-255 values are confusing as hell as the voltage changes with vtt... so there is no baseline of voltage for the 0-255... its frustrating to say the least, but i still have confidence i can surpass what i could on rampage... i just need to pull out the motherboard again and start tweaking w/ the aid of a multimeter. :)
this screenshot when a/b'd against the maximus (not rampage modded... didnt take a sc w/ these ram settings :( ) the dfi is slightly faster.
Well, I need some guidance. I'm running a modest OC on my Q6600 at 3.4ghz and things aren't stable, especially since I moved to Vista X64. Things run great at stock settings. Memtest checks out so I'm sure the RAM is good, I'm running 4 gigs of memory. The longest I've run Prime95 is about an hour stable. Gaming is deffinitely not stable.

have you tried the settings from page 1 of this thread?
also, is it 4x1gb sticks or 2x2gb?
im thinking its the ram @ this speed w/ 4 gigs as its stresses the northbridge... but im not sure how your computer is unstable in games. do you see artifacts or do you get hard crashes?
I have 4 x 1gb sticks of ram. I get hard crashes, (no artifacts/vpu crashing, card is solid) during games like TF2, WiC, etc. I too am starting to believe it's the NB along with the four sticks as that seems to be where most of the problems started when I went from two to four. Perhaps it may need more NB volts? It kind of makes sense that since I recently switched from XP to Vista x64 that the crashing has become more frequent due to more memory being used.
i would imagine more nb volts (to about 1.56 real then try to lower it if stable) and nb gtl @ 67 to start.Quote:

For the time being, I will continue to use these sticks because I don't think I can sell them. I am 100% Windows- and game-stable, so I'll be in no hurry to replace them. It's just odd this set works so well and new batches so poorly.
Incidentally, since my PSU fried, my old board is showing NB temps at around 49/51 idle/load. Is that too high? Final thought, if any of you need NIB MF or E8400, please PM me. I will have them to sell. They will both be in unsealed boxes directly from the Egg. (Hope it's not against ToS to post that; sorry if it is).
Suggestions are in bold, Get the cpu stable then we can tweak the ram if you like. I dont have 8GB's:shocked: but should be fun trying to get some decent bandwidthQuote:

hi guys, I just built my new pc (see my signature) and I'm trying do do some oc, but I just get my Q9300 to be running at 2.9.
I know that this thing can go faster then that.

PS: sorry about my english.
Did someone having problems with an Asus P5e mobo when flashing it to Rampage?
Hey Guys and Gals
I have a quick question,
My system is currently set up using the following settings
Q6700 @ 3.0 Ghz (333 x 9 or 12% OC) at a vcore of 1.236 (My VID is 1.2500V) (prime stable for 24 hrs), with a TRUE 120 and Synthe F fan (idle temps are 33, load temps are 46)
I have 8 GB of DDR2-667 Crucial ram (4 x 2gb @ 5-5-5-12 @ 1.8V @ 333 Mhz or 1:1 ratio)
The system runs like a charm, but every once in a while i get a blue screen with the IRQL_NOT_EQUAL message
My north bridge voltage on my Asus Maximus Formula is 1.360 V....
Given the fact that i have all 4 DIMM slots occupied, is my northbridge voltage too low and causing the errors, or should i bump up vcore (i would rather not, to keep the temps down)
What do you guys recommend for a northbridge voltage setting for a super stable system
Thanks
Kevin
For 8GB's 1.360 is way to low....I would start out at about maybe 1.55NB volts and adjust from there.Quote:

Turbo, there was a post in the 200-215 range about why the DET RAM problem occurs. It was taken from an excellent post about tRD timings on Anandtech, check it out, should solve your issue. :up:Quote:

2x1gb Gskill 6400HZ and 2x1gb Crucial Ballistix 6400 (orange spreader, not the good micron chips)
the system will boot fine if i reset the cmos, which on the Formula is a pain in the a$$ cuz you have to remove the video card to flip that switch.
once i do that and set the bios up again it runs fine but during video converting the system will reboot and then it gets stuck at detecting USB during the POST sequence.
Anyone know why this 4gb bug is happening.
it's pretty frustrating because it will boot fine then reboot or cold boot will make it pause at detecting USB.
So do you have problem running 1Gx4?
I have tried 2Gx2 and 2Gx4, both config. can be OCed as showed in my sig, no problem either on p5e@RF0403 or p5e vanilla.
Have you tried load default setting in bios? Or you may try to rise up Vsb a little bit as USB is controlled by SB.
Err..if you are talking about the switch on the mobo, it just allows you to reset the BIOS from the back CMOS clear switch?? Why would you have to remove the vid card to press the back button clear switch??Quote:

if the system does boot windwos wont even use it, windwos has to reinstall all the usb devised and for some fracking reason cant find any bluetooth drivers.
its like it totally fuxors the entire USB system of the motherboard.
@ things affect USB stability, same issues you describe...chipset volts, and FSB volts. You can tell whne USB is problematic, as boot will get faster as you clock up, but when USB is affected, boot will take slightly longer, although problems will not be apparant immediately. Happens both with dual cores and quads, near max FSB, which of course differs from cpu to cpu. If you are running into this issue, you need X48....mobo is holding you back.
The CLR CMOS button on the back of my MRF resets my BIOS 100% of the time. :DQuote:

i'll live with the "DET DRAM" issue as i can fix that just by swapping out the ram this usb crap is exactly that,, crap,, its really screwing up all my usb stuff.
USB isnt effected by voltages either, i just want to make that quite clear.
and i am not trying to knock you or anyone, but you'd know this if you'd been around long enough.
the only thing known to kick out USB devices would be if the pci bus freq is not locked at 33mhz when your overclocking totally wacked out ACPI and IRQ handling of the bios.
i have seen similar things before, long time ago with some wacko mobo's that didnt have a PCI freq. lock. but i havent seen it for a really long time.
i can take the ram back to 2 gigs and the same crap happens.....
oh well,, 1201 didnt give me anything new except the stupid DET DRAM wasnt happening all the time, it was still happening but powering off and powering back on made it boot into the bios safe mode so i could make the changes i needed.
was also getting BSOD and Reboots in XP and vista64...
oh well,, no skin off my back to rever back to an older bios...
wont do any good to tell ASUS either cuz they will just blame my hardware and not their flakey bios(s).
Maybe you should be digging into what held X38 back, why they respun. Take a look at how many X38 boards have USB issues..It's not just ASUS. X48 delay controlled? :rofl:
You don't even know how the CMOS switch works(try reading the manual for enlightenment), so your opinion doesn't look too reliable..
This is what i´m running right now. First time boot today i got vga bios again and the computer shut down. Second try windows wouldn´t boot. Then the third try and weeee, windows worked.

I've only read this post so I am not sure what else you have tried. However, it sounds to me that you need a bit more voltage for your northbridge. Try 1.51V and see if things improve. Also, leave NB GTL Reference to Auto and see if that improves stability as well.Quote:

I haven't bothered with the latest MF bioses yet (1101? and 1201); I like RF 0403 a lot and I have 3 quads here to play with so I'm going to stick with it. Playing with high fsb here; this is a sweet little chip (vid. 1.2500), sips vcore and should easily do 450x9. I'm liking my other chip tho, (vid. 1.2625) which does 7x500 rock solid stable, and 8x500 everest stability stable. I'm working hard to stabilize that and keep it chiefly because of the high fsb (reached 7x515). It's likes a tad more vcore. I want to see how high this chip will prime stable; so far looking good as I'm running apps and posting from this pc. Screenie:Quote:

So it's more cpu related than anything else. Coincidentally, there all these 500fsb capable cpus have something in common: low last 4 digits wafer numbers.

processor 3: L746B022. Vid.: 1.3125v 4 Digit Wafer #: 0870
Bear in my mind that these numbers are supposed to go all the way to 99 for each axis. So it seems the closer the numbers are to 00 (center) on the X axis, the higher the fsb they are capable of running at. My 2 cents.
I didnt up any volts from your settings, I will play around today and see what I can do, While not xtreme my cooling is very good, so heat will not be an issue running 500FSBQuote:

Z, you're a monster! I'm happy to say I was able to get over 510 FSB w/8G on this board, hoping for some more. Yummmmm.
Hi.
Can i get some feedback on my voltages and temps? the board has seemed good so far, 1hr prime and 1hr OCCT.
4-4-4-12 with the RAM @ 890mhz and 1:1.
445fsb x 9
E8400 @ 4ghz
Its not stable without 1.58v for the northbridge as I have 4x1GB sticks of RAM and the CPU is not stable without 1.42V in bios. I have loadline calibration off as I heard somewhere its not worth it, I do figure with it on tho, 1.38V would be enuff. Is 44412 @ 890 better then 55515@1069?
I'm looking for a safe, fast 24/7 setup.
>> http://www.users.on.net/~remlwebb/1hr4ghz.jpg >>
There is a newer version than that but thanks for the info. I grabbed the latest driver a few days ago. It does seem that the updated chipset drivers have solved all my USB issues, if any others are having problems I would suggest trying the latest drivers.Quote:

This is the source of the problem. As chipset voltage increases, it's easy to "miss-trigger" this "functionality", and hence the issues some are having. It's a chipset feature, so raising SB violts as someone mentioned, isn't gonna solve the problem, unfortunately. When you start to trigger this problem, your board is close to it's limit. If it was the SB, then X48 would be suspect of having the same issues, but it does no run into this issue until much higher FSB is attained.
Finally got this damned Q6600 rock stable at 4GHz. In my case, it was the FSBTerm and PLL volts that were too low. All I did is bump them up one notch from where I had them and 4GHz became stable.

Don't mind the RAM being at stock, these friggin' single sided Ballistix are garbage. OCZ FlexII 4GB kit to be here soon!
thanks to this thread, I was able to get a stable 500x8 1:1 overclock from the first try! :D
I got a bit adventurous today and tried 500x9, but only got as far as POST.
I tried a broad increase of the CPU, NB and RAM voltages but got the same results.
Am I missing a subtle BIOS setting or something :confused:
Can you give us a run down of all you settings please Renegade5399
Im getting BSOD after hour or so play in counterstrike, is there anyway to find out whats causing the problem as i ran prime95 for 9 hours on current settings and it didnt crash or see any problems.
Im on bios 907 should i move to a newer one and if so which?
Thanks.
Post settings.Quote:

Small FFTS is best for CPU stability and Large FFTS for Ram/Northbridge stability.
Just for :banana::banana::banana::banana:s and grins, I converted back to Maximus and with the exact same settings, I am getting higher memory throughput on Everest? Not by a lot mind you, just about 200MB/sec, but it's consistent.
Weird........

I saw those too but any site that hits me with pop-under adds, is in a foreign language and says the drivers are unofficial, I have trouble trusting. ;) Glad they worked for you. :)Quote:

Both are back to 219 @3.52 for now. I'll tinker some more after I get a few more WUs uploaded. Experimenting with 403 ate up a lot of folding time. :down:
Can you post up your settings and voltages? I have been trying to get it stable its just not working.... chip willl do 3.8ghz so far though.Quote:

I have just got my new Q9450 , I dont know why but I have some problem with my FSB setting . I cant pass 440mhz with the quad core . (6x multi just to test my max fsb).
I have the lastest bios 1201 .
update : I need 1.65v to the north bridge and 1.5v to fsb to have 440fsb stable it is normal ?

i need to drop my vcore down a tad but there is where i am,, and usually am 24/7. the 1.38 in my sig was found to be just a hair unstable. so i run 1.4 all the time
i still dont understand the whole vtt pll crap,,, i just play with the settings until i'm stable.
temps are high because i am encoding some video right now and my PC room is very warm right now. i have the ceiling fan and a floor fan moving the air around lol.
ran can run 4-4-4-12 no problem but there really isnt any point as the benefit from it is extremely minor.
pll and vtt grasshopper... thats where it lies....Quote:

I use the Watercooling on motherboard and CPU . cooling is not the problem
I have update my post with all the setting .
With my E8400 I have run 455x9 very stable with 1.49V NB
well a quad core takes more of everything to achieve the same fsb.Quote:

but dont take what i say as the gospel because i dont have a 45nm quad... and those quads i have seen so far are fsb picky..
k thanks I will work on that . right now I flash to the rampage bios
Update with the rampage bios . This bios take less Voltage to run at the same FSB (1.53 vs 1.65)
wow thats a big drop.Quote:

do you have a multimeter ? can you check directly on the motherboard ?
vcore vdimm nb sb,,
i dont have a picture showing where to check but someone here probably does.
(i mean really thats a huge drop in voltage, seems a bit suspect)
I know where to check but I dont have my multimeter with me . I will grab it tomorrow and check .
Following are some images of todays 3DMARK06 results. I was getting a lower score of about 11 thousand something now this? all I did is download SP3 for windows XP Is this possible?
Also I have two 2900 XT's running crossfire; Why does it show only one display device? How do I change this?
And last; During the CPU tests the FPS rates where from 1 to 3 FPS, you would think with my QX6850 this whould be better?

Additional inpoot: Just remembered, yesterday I upgraded to 1102 bios.
Just upped my RAM to 1113Mhz...... Memtest for an hour or so, no errors. Same voltage! But it won't do 1335, I tried :D
