Wont even boot 1 stick up. I have OCZ Alpha PC8000. Do i need to go and pinch some mates memory?Quote:

cpu vtt = fsb vtt. just labeled differently.
vcore is what helps get higher cpu clocks, while fsb vtt, and nb core helps with higher fsb. mostly people who are running really high memory speeds need to increase the voltages more.
I find that for the most part, people on these forums are using way too high NB and FSB voltage for what they are achieving. thats imho though.
That's usually a result of incorrect GTL values. Board or user selected.Quote:

Any ideas to fix it so I can turn EIST off?

I am going to pick up a thermaright HR for the NB and see how it works compared to the enzo I have on it now. First things first though, gotta play with the transpiper on Monday :)
I have to use another/different stick of ram when this happens to me.. It won't boot sometimes when I reset the cmos with my 8000's but it will when I use a different stick of Crucial 6400.. Then I up the vdimm and install the other ram.Quote:

yes please, im been waiting for results with this board and that cpu
will do... but im not the best OCer, infact im not even average so im no expecting to be able to work any magicQuote:

balls!!!
i just tried 9*500 on my e8500 and the machine spins the fans for a few secs then goes off :( going to try clearing the cmos before i cry
I got my new board a few days ago and it's working pretty well.

I cant seem to get 475 or more to post, not sure what the issue is I have tried upping nb vtt ram and vcore but no matter what i do it wont boot at 475. I even tried lowering the multi on my chip and no go. Any ideas?
boooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! no more testing for me... my psu just blew up :|
every over clock above stock wether it be 500*9 or 450 * 9.5 with 1.450000 on vtt, 1.5 on chipset, 1.45 on cpu caused the machine to just switch off after 1 second.
just tried another overclock and *spark* my psu blew up -no stand by light on the back of the psu or board. the psu smells of burning :( since i have no other psu to test with then im not sure if my components are broke :down:
the other worrying thing is that i got that psu from scan about a year ago but when i bought my e8500 from them yesterday i had to re-create my account because my details "somehow were deleted"
wow sorry to hear that sounds like the psu was def holding you back then
i hope its just the psu thats gone or im seriously going to cry :( been buying new parts this year and was hoping that i didnt need to replace it :rolleyes:Quote:

Can anybody tell me in short how to work with Clock Fine Delay settings?
And what does "- DIMM 1 Clock fine delay: 7 (raised from Current 2)" in practice mean?
Is there any differences between running two modules of memory in slots 1+3 VS 2+4?
Sorry about it Origin, was this the Etasis 850W server grade PSU in your sig?
sorry to hear about your PSU shorting out on you.Quote:

FSB will not boot higher than 518
Memory is absolutely not stable at almost every speed/divider ....
The board is acting like a 1st class ........ with the e8500 and is in need of a bios that fixes this ASAP !

Also my board wont turn on from case button(yes I have connected the cables from case to mobo but doesnt work) anyone else had this trouble?
yeah it was :( i think ill go for a silverstone decathlon or a PCP&P.Quote:

i did. It's VID 1.1125VQuote:
