hi guys someone has tried to put the Swiftech WB NBMAX onto the NB of this board?
Thats a good question. I got myself a multimeter. When the vcore is set in the bios @ 1.34v, the multimeter show 1.37v @ full load prime. I also measured the vqpi. When set in bios @ 1.34 it will drop to 1.31 @ full load. Next test will be with LLC disabled. Looks like the Rampage 2 Extreme is overvolting vcore with LLC enabled and has a vqpi droop of 0.04vQuote:

and when i run cpu-z it shows 4.0Ghz
I had a i7 940 before this one and i had it running on 3.6 and got scores around 22000, now a i7 965 running on 4.0Ghz should get at least 29000, it is def running lower in vantage!
would any of you know anything about this problem?
tnx
Edit: also in my windows index it says Intel(R) Core(TM)i7 CPU 965 @ 3.20Ghz 3.70Ghz !
???
Has probably something to do with the C state settings in the bios. This should be off. In Windows Vista you need to set the energy settings to high performance. Otherwise the system will change multiopliers and you get very strange results.Quote:

Also, quite likely you are running into the issue where the CPU multiplier over 24 is not being read correctly so your speed is appearing wrong.Quote:

I think Corsair was just one of the best deals for RAM with the i7 at the moment.
Any other ideas on what this could be?
I'm quite confident it has something to do with DRAM, but not Corsair, just DRAM in general. For some people 0805 BIOS resolved it, for others it did not. I for one did not have issues in about a week now but not because of 0805 (I tried it before) but because I completly changed settings for my memory and how I OC it.Quote:

Cool, well i'll see how it goes, Im not going to OC my ram at all. keeping it at stock. from what Ive seen I prob wont see any gains from the 9-9-9-24 to the 8-8-8-24 anyways, though I bought the 1600 CAS8 Corsair ram anyways lolQuote:

Yeah, Jason, I have the same timings in my corsair dominators@1603mhz 8-8-8-20-1t and have no cold boot issues and prime and memtest will run 24hours without errors! Happy New Years guys!!:cool:Quote:

I will post Bios Settings for you to try , you might end up around 4.5-4.7 Stable for 3D or benchies , Mind you im running my i7 965 on
Single Stage so go easy on the volts and do it at your own risk ;).
cpu ratio - 29 or 30
bclk freq - 155
pci-e - 100
dram frequency (depends on the Ram you are running ) Run the frequency closest to your ram specifications.
uclk - at least twice the number of your ram frequency ( ie - DDR3-1600
uclk 3200 )
epu frequency - Full Phase
load line calibration - enable
cpu differential amplitude - auto
cpu voltage - 1.55v-1.60v ( All depends on your chip )
cpu pll - auto
qpi/dram core voltage - 1.52v-1.53
Ioh voltage - 1.41v-1.44v
dram bus voltage - 1.65v-2.00v
cpu clock skew - auto
everything else on Auto ( change your ram timings manually in Bios , disable speedstep and all that crap not needed for cpu , play with those numbers and voltages and find your max stable overclock , every system its different ok ) Good Luck ;)

.., made some runs with CF.., RE II (bios 0805).., 920.., 1866 sticks rated 9-9-9-24.., also with SS single stage...
http://i40.tinypic.com/1496t1j.jpg
http://i44.tinypic.com/14xcknt.jpg
and a lil wprime.. (made 1024 run 1.488 vcore.., absolut max what SS could handle..)
http://i41.tinypic.com/23ts1kz.jpg
Its all bout keeping cpu from throttling.., to much v-core and it doesnt wanna play.., keeping v-core to low 1.5 (with SS) gives good push.., atleast with this chip...
I think this combo outperforms my expectations.., hell of power in this lil chip with RE II..
As Chispy says.., go easy with v-core...
Any tips for clocking with HT on? 4Ghz no problem with it off, but blue screens galore with it on using latest OCCT?
Your bclk is 200 I guess.., and running stresstest with 8cores brings heat.., alot of it..Quote:

Test lowering ur clock and c where it actually pulls it of.., running 1.5 v-core gives 1.488 in my case and that is max what SS handles with heavy load...
Sometimes we might forget that cpu is no Extreme.., its rated at 2.66 ghz folks.., bringing 8 cores at 4.0 (+50%) out of it is one hell of OC...
http://i43.tinypic.com/9i615t.jpg
Yeah Scaramonga, I can run 4ghz(4.2ghz with turbo on), but I cannot run with HT on no matter what at this speed. the fastest i can go with HT on is 3.9ghz......At 4.2 I bluescreen within 5 minutes :(Quote:

fubarswe would you share your exact settings use for this clocks , thanks in advanced.
chispy.
If you look @these settings they are very straight forward.., no mumbo jumbo...
If I raise v-core.., results starts to be all over the place.
Patients is needed here to find sweetspot.. there is no easy way around it...

Twin HD4870X2 Powercolor out of box
Crappy idè 40gb disc
SS Single stage -40 celcius
This is with SS.., its all bout finding sweetspot for your cooling...
Running Wprime 1024 and RealTemp next to it gives u an idea of the massive heat produced.., from +40 to +95 goes in a split second.., throttling will follow...
And.., mounting cooler is very important.., lil missfit between cpu and cooler equals bad OC...
I tested a lot on air.., bringing supercool swedish winter air to Thermaltake Big Typhoon with twin Delta 120.., air coming from outside via metaltubes.., :D.., (yea.., I´m a geek.., "wifemeltdown" is close..) maybe I will force a 06 run with 200 bclk at 1.44 v-core...
Heat finally overcomes cooling...:rolleyes:
When I read bout peoples water cooling and air cooling.., trying to force 200bclk/1.5v-core runs.., will not happen... (not with good/stable results)
This lil chip is rated 2.66ghz.., not 4.0.., OC we have here is massive +50%.., if wish is for more.., bring the 940 or 965.., but they produce same amount of heat..:)
Many people are dissapointed with there 940/965.., dont be.., cool them and they will fly... :)
Dont forgett to set Power settings in Windows to Performance (Vista).., or multiplier will fly around..

For those of you looking forward to the Asus P6W6 WS with the nforce 200 chip for full 3x 16x-pcie bandwith.....Things are not looking good.......Read this article
Have you read the article since the video update was posted? :confused: Sure looking good to me. It will be a gold award winner by [H]ard once ASUS makes two small BIOS changes. One of the changes is already in beta and fixed Kyle's 3-way SLI issue. Edit: definitely want to watch the video update.Quote:

Im gonna stab someone soon seriosly..
I am running 190 bclk 100% stable with HT & Turbo (4.0GHz), but i really want to reach 200 bclk so i can run the memory in 1600 MHz.. atm its only 1520MHz 1.65v 9-9-9-24-1T
193 bclk works.. but 194 and up is 100% impossible, I've tried several configs in this thread and none of em is working
Am i doing it right?
Changes atm:
HT & Turbo on
190 bclk
1520 memory
3100 uncore
vcore 1.375
vdimm 1.65
9-9-9-24-1T
The settings im suppose to have is?
Ht off / turbo On?
200bclk (4.2GHz)
1600 memory
3200 uncore
vcore ~1.35-1.40?
vdimm 1.65
8-8-8-20-1T? / 9-9-9-24-1T
i see some people change the QPI and some dont but i dunno..
Kensek do you have 2 4870x2? In quad crossfire?Quote:

Then it was Prime stable at 21x200.
You wont reach 200bclk with that v-core.., put it on 1.45 with HT on.., might not be stable so maybe lil increase is needed.., that on other hand might be unstable depending on cooling...Quote:

I have the 6GB kit of Corsair Dominator CL8, I've heard people having trouble with it.. some cold bug? Can someone explain what its about? Also my Bios is 0804 if youre wondering
I suggest flashing to 0805.., then try to enter windows on 195 bclk 1.45 v-core.., then step the rest with set fsb.. http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/ clockgenerator xxxxxxx16jglfQuote:

If this does not work take out 1 stick of Ram.
If no joy, Flash to 0805 and try these steps again.
This is bullsh1t changed to 0805 without Kensek's advice.. same as with 0804
Then when trying what Kensek said.. (194bclk) after 10 sec of saying Locked.. it came up DET DRAM, but stopped there.. then the next attempt.. yes it got to USB final.. but then it somehow loaded VGA bios but it didnt so no picture, then when i tried to change back to 193.. well now that didnt work either, tried lower cpu volt and different memory numbers but nothing.. back at crappy 190
Is something broken on this pile of crap motherboard or what? Why is it impossible to boot with 194 bclk.. I did not try to remove 1 memory tho, gonna try it now

Why do you keep saying i should set bclk to 195? I've said like 2 times I cant boot any higher than 193..Quote:

I got a little closer according to the LCD Poster tho, 1 time it booted with 194.. but the CPU was running at 14.13GHz :up:, the other times it showed DET DRAM and CHECK CPU, maybe 10-15sec between them.. but well.. there is some magic über wall between 193-194 for some reason
Tried bios 0804 & 0805, cpu voltages between 1.35 and 1.5, QPI 1.35 to 1.42, IHO 1.3, 1.65v mem, uncore always twice memory, removed 1 memory, HT&Turbo on/off.. it only booted 1 time.. and it said the CPU was running 14.13GHz so.. fail
Im currently running:
HT & Turbo: On
Bclk: 190
CPU: 3990MHz with 1.312v
Memory 1527MHz 8-8-8-24-1T 1.65v
I could run 180 bclk (3.8GHz) and memory at 1800MHz 9-9-9-26 maybe?
Still why wont it boot with anything above 193 bclk.. like all people in this thread have done it :shakes:
Edit: Tried TurboV now.. changed from 190 to 193.. worked fine.. then.. BAM 194 the ultimate number of doom.. it worked for ~~ 7 seconds, when i moved the mouse it "lagged" frame by frame = something is very wrong with BCLK 194+, could the motherboard be broken somehow? Because I payed alot of money and I expect to get over 193..
Edit2: just got P15800 3DMark Vantage points.. like wtf? Some random dude got his UNclocked Core i7 965 (3.2GHz) and gets CPU: 20492p while im running my Core i7 at 3.8GHz and gets 18180p?
youll probably want to not use linpack, I think it doesnt support HT.Quote:

Have you tested raising v-core and bclk in Turbo7..? Getting more than 3990 with 1.31 wont happen..
Have patients.., you will find it... :-) .., why i´m saying 195 bclk is because I also have troubles sometimes booting with 200.., 195 works fine and then i step it up to atleast 210 with set fsb.. My v-core is 1.5 in bios...
This what I got on 3dmark06, I get 4000 less points with hyperthreading on at 4.3ghz....My shader mark 2.0 goes down 2000 marks with hyperthreading. I did notice that you guys have a higher cpu score than I do at 4.3 ghz with Ht on or off!
http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...ama/3dmark.jpg
Nice result what so ever! :-) You loose bout 1000 CPU points with HToff.. try lower v-core to 1.5 in bios.., keep settings but turn HT on..,
Somewhwre along the way we seem to lost ourselfs and we belive these lil cpu´s will go extremely high...
920 2.66ghz and 4.0 is 50% OC..!!!
will we exspect the same from these cpu´s..?
940 2.93ghz and 4.4 is 50% OC
965 3.20ghz and 4.8 is 50% OC !!! (not so many manage this without extreme cooling)
QX9650 3.0ghz and 4.5ghz is 50% OC (very hard to get on air stable.., need very good cooler or water)
E 8600 3.3ghz and 4.95ghz is 50% OC (also VERY hard to get with ordinary cooler...)
maybe we must lower expectations a bit or get better cooling.., yes..?
I had several QX9650.., one was very good.., did 5.5 with cascade.., 2 others only managed 5.2.., cpu´s are different
Cpu´s are different.., one that makes 4.4ghz is better ofcourse than the one only breaking 4.2.., but thats the way it is.., always been and always will be...
Everything is 100% stable at 193 bclk.. but when i go for 194.. no way in hell :horse:Quote:

When I set bclk to 194 or 200.. it freezes instantly.. I have not tried 210+ in SetFSB tho
If you boot at 190.., 1.45 v-core.., then use set fsb.., how high can you bring it before freeze..?Quote:

No.. not bad cpu.., its throttling.., try to find your sweetspot.., lower bclk.., lower v-core.., untill you find it...
When you do.., results will be stable and you will know where limit is with your cooling... use set fsb.., start like 160 bclk.., work your way up untill you see whre results starts to be all over the place.., and turn HT on.., thats the purpose with these cpu´s.. :-)
Stopping and starting 06 will get you lower results.., need fresh reeboot to run properly...
Take your time with this.., when you reach stable results everything will be alot easier.., you will have a baseline to work from...
Using SetFSB i can reach 193.7.. next step: 194.1.. guess what? :horse:Quote:

.., guess you found your cpu´s limit.., dont belive board is defective.., (but ofcourse it can be..) mess around with it for a while.., maybe you overseen something... try XP if you have it.., maybe you will spot a differens in handling...
cpus limit.. even when i run 19x multiplier and 200 bclk = 3800MHz it wont work so its not the cpu, i can run the cpu at 4060 using 193 bclk and turbo, all i want is 200 bclk so i can run 3.8/4.0ghz turbo w HT and 1600memory 8-8-8-24-1T, most people here can run it easily.. but I cant even get over 193 bclk ..

3. You have found your CPU's limits and thus cannot simply overclock anymore.
End of the story...
And dont forget the 3xT-rule;)
Tweak, Tweak and Tweak:up:
Sometimes you have to use hours and hours in bios and win to get there you want.
I have a doubt as to what utility is reporting the correct vCore
BIOS setting: 1.406v LLC disabled (134x30: 4030Mhz)
Idle
Everest 4.60.1599: 1.38v
CPUZ 1.49: 1.368
Load (Linpack)
Everest 4.60.1599: 1.36v
CPUZ 1.49: 1.32
Thanks
my temps don't look too bad, cpu on a single water loop through 480mm rad....the cpu doesnt throttle when I am running prime 95, it only does that weird stuff in 3dmark06...
RAmpage II Extreme 965XE and DICE first runs with diceand this set up.

Wreckage, I think you need to get a better cooler, I am surprised you made it that far with the stock intel cooler!!
2chesapeakes, very nice overclock
cstkl1 is showing some sweet OC on very low v-core.., wish some will use this and be happy with it! :-)
i cant be sureQuote:

kekekek turn of tide
last time ppl were always fussing about microns revisions
but theres a major droop on the qpi
set 1.35.. idle 1.35.. .load 1.3..
Second that. I checked with a multimeter. Vcore in bios @ 1.35v is 1.37-1.38 real and vqpi 1.35 in bios is 1.32-1.33 real. So the vcore is overvolting slightly and vqpi is undervolting. I also will test with llc disabled.Quote:

What if the mobo has grounding issues?

Bclk
190 = stable
193 = unstable
194 = impossible
over 194.. always sais LOCKED on LCD Poster, never got a DET DRAM message
I got a little closer according to the LCD Poster tho, 1 time it booted with 194.. but the CPU was running at 14.13GHz , the other times it showed DET DRAM and CHECK CPU, maybe 10-15sec between them.. but well.. there is some magic über wall between 193-194 for some reason
Tried bios 0804 & 0805, cpu voltages between 1.35 and 1.5, QPI 1.35 to 1.42, IHO 1.3, 1.65v mem, uncore always twice memory, removed 1 memory, HT&Turbo on/off.. it only booted 1 time.. and it said the CPU was running 14.13GHz so.. fail
Im currently running:
HT & Turbo: On
Bclk: 190
CPU: 3990MHz with 1.312v
Memory 1527MHz 8-8-8-24-1T 1.65v
I could run 180 bclk (3.8GHz) and memory at 1800MHz 9-9-9-26 maybe?
Still why wont it boot with anything above 193 bclk.. like all people in this thread have done it
Edit: Tried TurboV now.. changed from 190 to 193.. worked fine.. then.. BAM 194 the ultimate number of doom.. it worked for ~~ 7 seconds, when i moved the mouse it "lagged" frame by frame = something is very wrong with BCLK 194+, could the motherboard be broken somehow? Because I payed alot of money and I expect to get over 193..
got that problem to..192 is all i can go ..........getting the LOCKED on bootup
When I push my rams to hard.. it "locks" up to..,
Exampel: My rams are 1866 9-9-9-24.., I set 200 bclk/1600 ramspeed and try to force 7-7-7-20.., it locks up.., 8-8-8-20 and I will boot...
But if I back off to 190 bclk (rest in set fsb) and set 7-7-7-20.., it will run...
http://i39.tinypic.com/2ltsqaq.jpg
Try mess with rams abit to c if you get passed this "locked"...
getting my rams to run 1800 is a no go...
Look at cstkl1 posts.., he manouvers his rams in different settings very nice!
You must try different settings.., 9-9-9-24.., 10-10-10-24.., if rams are rated 1600 8-8-8-20 doesnt mean that this is what you will get..;)
Lets try Rampage Bios 0903
[ 0903 ]
----------------------
Fixed the function for adjusting BCLK abnormal in TurboV when set BCLK > 200MHz in BIOS setup
http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...treme-0903.zip
I just flashed myself. Seems ok. Will try settings later.
Attachment 92250
thx for sharing :.-)
Tried what u said .. no go ....did 10 10 10 30 allso tried 1200 on the mem with same settings keep geting the locked on bootup @200bclk 19 or 20multiQuote:

Jusy plain Luck :). What you can try is set vcore to 1.35, vqpi to 1.35 and vdimm to 1.65. Try the CPU Amplitude Control in the bios and set it to 1000mv. It helped me from 1.37 to 1.35 vcore in bios.Quote:

a bit more tweaking
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/l...ntitled-24.jpg
oh yeah dudes hope i dont get flooded like the rampage extreme questions..
takes more experience on tweaking rams
and those who had clocked x48 ddr3 successfully will find x58 a piece of cake...kekeke
you can give the reglages of have you memoire and tensionQuote:

I have a 480mm Rad with the CPU on a single loop with 4 silverstone 110cfm fans on a fan controller. I have to use 1.45v to 1.55V for anything to be stable between 3.9ghz to 4.3ghz. With Ht off I get temps of 65c-70c at load, with HT on I get 78-82c at load!! What Scaramonga is seeing is the CPU temp, not the actual temps of the cores. The CPU temps show a lot lower than the actual core temps...Quote:

my question is
did u test that theory with all ram chipset types and different density
did u test in all different manufactorer x58''s??
and without limiting yourself to qpi volage??
Sitting browsing and no load, system up for 8 hours:Quote:

I have a vent at back of comp sucking in cool air from outside (Scotland here and -2 ATM)
link to 0903 not working anymore..
No wonder....so you have the vent right behind your radiator with your fans pulling cold air in??Quote:

Got my new chip today, straight from the beast's mouth :p:
Currently running 64-bit Prime stable (small, large, and blends tests) with 4-cores/8-threads at 21x200MHz (no turbo, straight 21x200MHz on the Core i7 940) with DRAM at 1603MHz with 7-8-7-20-1T timings at 1.40800V CPU/1.65681V DRAM and 1.35000V QPI/DRAM (VTT) :D
It's an "A" chip btw and all on air all the way :)
Sweet! :)Quote:
