I'm running my RAM at 6X and it may have something to say, but if I understand you guys right, this could be related to RAM, CPU or MB/BOIS (or a combination of these). But whatever it is, it is not affecting the stability av my setup :)

Same here, and im using dominator gts. No reboots or bsods running stress tests with stable settings. The only issue for me is the nightmare with multiplier 21 in Win 7 :shakes:

ok I learned something very very strange. Well I cant get 19x, or 20x multi stable at all but 21x seems to be for the most part I did get 8hrs prime stable with it.

But my vidcard is messed up so I was playing some old school doom2 (zdoom) haha with fraps...

My framerate in that old game with 19x and 20x multi goes down to the single digits sometimes even when superpi runs fun and fast, but not with 21 stays like in the 300's-1000 fps... this board blows so hard wish I wouldnt have got it!

i see that running bclk 200 and ram 1600 or 2000 doesnt cause instability. same with me with 200x21 and 200x8 ram.
but 205 bclk with same multis wont work resulting in bsod sometime.
all time since i plugged xeon i thought that reason of impossibility go higher bclk 200 was in corsair dominator or cpu itself. but i never could imagine that it might be dfi+d0 issue.
well i'm going to check this out running same hardware on other mobo..

Peen, so now you're stable after reboot too?
07-04-2009, 12:09 PM

Well it just something with the board, 20x and 19x multi are extremely slow even though its running full speed according to CPU-z I have dual monitors and kept all that on different display
07-04-2009, 02:04 PM
Peen

So I got this now

http://i39.tinypic.com/2h57d6p.png

Stable 3.822ghz uncore with 1.28v VTT, cr is actually 2n

Anyone got any tips for getting ram stable at this speed? This is using 1.71vdimm, it errors prime instantly but 1 ram divider lower is only 1520mhz so ya, obviously I want this...

Happy 4th btw! :)

Hi Dami3n,

unclewebb (from xs) has found a fix for this (its worked for me and bunch of others)

Go here: http://i4memory.com/f80/windows-7-tu...3/index13.html

You can either install a newer version of Real Temp which will kick your multi up to x21 or get an app that will boost your multi to x21. Both work fine.

;)

Well it happened, prime stable for 8hrs go to reset system and hit Start on prime and instant BSOD.

Absolute worst board i've ever owned and by far most expensive. Going to see if I can return it

lol so all the sudden my multi is going crazy from 12-20x, even when I turn off EIST and Turbo and stick it to 19x. should be 19x and nothing else! wtfff
07-05-2009, 04:26 PM

gawd this board blows!!! Like i said my msi didn't do this so its not a Win7 problem, ram problem or cpu problem!!

I had a similar problem with my DK X58-T3eH6 board and multi stuck at 12x - I flashed to new 07/01 Beta BIOS and it seems to have fixed it, now steady at 20x.

Hi Frank. I use multiboost, and works good for me too. My complain is about the need to use software to fix something that is suppose to work perfect out of the box.

This board and memory with Elpida is a dream, with my board tho:D
I dont have the boot-problem with my Elpida hyper chips and can almost do whatever i want.
07-06-2009, 04:33 PM

I'm getting mixed responses within this thread. What is the actual issue with 1600 memory and this board? Can someone explain this so I can understand what the ISSUE is?
07-06-2009, 05:45 PM
rioja

from what i had, it is stable with bclk 200 and 1600 ram and non stable (after-reboot issue) with bclk 205 and 1640 ram
i e it could run linpack 1 hour in one boot, and got bsod after a seconds in other boot, and rising voltages alot higher wont help
and at the third boot it could pass tests again
07-06-2009, 07:38 PM

This isnt making any sense, lol. I understand what your saying rioja, it just doesn't make sense. Very odd.
07-06-2009, 08:05 PM

Batmang, this thing seems pretty mixed. For example, I have a pretty bad chip, mixed with the fact that my board doesn't like Xeon's and then mixed with it doesn't like my RAM so its a diasaster.

You might be ok with it because you have an i7 and maybe it will play ok with your ram

going off what Rioja said, I completely agree. I did 1hr of Linpack then restarted and i hit "Start" on linpack and it BSOD instantly.

Hello my friend, can you tell me what BIOS version you're in? I'm in 0619 with elpida hyper and I never experienced such problem since I got this board, both with i7 920 D0 3847A951 or w3520 3845A935. Looks like I have to ask my friend to hire his Corsair XMS kit to me for further testing...

It has something to do with the DRAM chips I think. Try tweaking the interleave delay / reference voltage values and see if it can improve or not...sometimes some values is not good when leaving it on 'AUTO' because you will never know how far and crazy the value float...

I'm really not sure what to change them too, I have 12gb running right now at 1146mhz 6-6-5-16-1t, or 1528mhz 8-8-8-28-2t same voltage 1.66v cant decide whats better :D

Since it won't hurt you why don't you try them out?~
I've experianced this with my Elpida when I'm in GA-EX58-Extreme struggling to get 20*200/2000 stable and finally got it down by tweaking RTL and channel turnaround settings~

Yes, you have been lucky and some are having luck with these sticks. But as the article outlines, many of these kits (across all the brand) are dying after a short while (even on 1.5v Vdimm and stock VVT).

I have seen several "flawed 2000MHZ+ kits" lately (besides those who are having difficulties to run at rated speed with "safe" 24/7 voltages). That's what kept me waiting a few more days (besides the crazy prise av these kits, of course, LOL).

Yes, both on my i7 920 C0 and w3520, 211x19 has required less Vcore than 20x200 to stabilize. This may depend on your CPU too, but 19x seams to need less Vcore, independent of the BCLK.

if that is cas 9-9-9-24 and 8-8-8-24

No, it's 9-10-9-20 and 8-9-8-20, but still searching for the lowest vdimm for CAS9, now i'm testing at 1.59v :)

Got stable 4.3ghz 1.32v no HT with air.

Seems like this chip really likes less heat, since it takes 1.28v to get 4ghz HT stable, 1.3v to get 4.2ghz no HT and 4.3ghz 1.32v...

4ghz gets to like 88-90c and 4.3ghz actually only hitting 78c so far

priming now at 4.4ghz 1.36v

Good luck then~
If you can pass 4.4Ghz prime for just 1.36 it is not bad at all.:cool:

it starts getting unstable once it gets above 80c but its crazy it runs about 35-40c cooler at same speed and volts just turning HT off

But yes it primed for awhile at 1.36v 4.4ghz

Hi guys,

I see many people are having trouble with OCZ sticks on this motherboard, i havent got any luck with them either :shrug:
I'm currently on my 2nd OCZ3G1600LV3GK kit now, first one RMA because it didn't want to run @1600MHz whatever i did with it. 2nd kit is better, wil run 1600MHz but after one day of running the pc it will error out or crash :down:

Finaly i ordered the sexy Corsair Dominator GT's 2000MHz 8-8-8-24 but then lighting struck, Corsair pulls Dominator GT's from the market because off problems with the Elpida Hyper chips.
I think that the ramgods don't like me :eek:

Just ordered Corsair TR3X6G1866C9DF, hope i have more luck with these sticks :D

The OCZ Reapers work great - they are CL9 but run at 1866 stock and will do 2000 with relaxed timings, think they are D9 chips ......

It's not a sure thing. I have some CAS9 1866 Reapers and the board won't even boot at 1700 or above. Now I have them in a P6T and they run just like you describe.

Is that Corsair Dominator GT 8-8-8-24 2000Mhz kit one of the dodgy ones? I just bought that kit about a week and a half ago. I'm still waiting for other parts to arrive though so I haven't been able to try it out yet though.

I am going to use it with a DFI T3EH8 and a W3520. So what happens if the RAM stuffs up?

This is for all off the Dominator GT's, every kit that is still on the shelf has to be send back to Corsair and will be replaced. Not every kit will have problems but they take no chanches.
If you're kit dies than you will have to RMA it and you will get a new kit :up:

Well, the saga ended unhappily. Was net browsing yesterday when my rig locked up, and seconds later the smell of burning electronics filled the room. Yanked the power cord, opened the case, streams of grey smoke filling the case. Pulled everything out, unplugged everything, attached to another PSU and tried booting with one stick of RAM and old S3 Virge PCI backup card, streams of grey smoke poured from the cap near the EPS 8-pin connector and the board displayed random garbage on the LED debugger (not whole letters or numbers, just fragments lighting up).

Now to see how long warranty takes, seeing as the board was bought from Newegg in the USA earlier this year, and I'm now back in Australia again.

Man good luck with RMA, you really are struck with a run of bad luck aren't you?! Maybe this says something about the boards quality. Only good thing is that it was stable for a while..

ouch sorry to hear mate.. take photos and all of the damage - good to document everything before sending back for RMA :)

PWM temp I'm really not sure about exactly, never measured it, but the cooler over that area wasn't all that hot - not cool, there was heat transfer, but not burning up either. Overclock was never more than 3.7 - see above, I could never get more than 185 BCLK to boot.

Just making sure here, for VTT/IMC/Mem stability checks I need to run Prime with FFTs ranging from 128 to 4096 with in-place unchecked and max memory right? Or whats the best setting for this purpose?

Thanks guys. Btw, Razer I think I'm on to something. Running 12GB was as easy as slapping the additional 6GB in and just run them. I think most of my problems came from the fact that asking for LinX stability at 89°C was just a tad too much. Even in a warm room (sry have no thermometre around) I'm not going over 70°C now at 1.32 vcore. You just have to love water cooling, 50 LinX passes max mem easy even at 7-7-7-24-1N. I'm posting some screenies when I confirmed prime stability. :)

TRUE has met it's end for people that have no air conditioning around in the summer for benching or stability testing me thinks.

Uhm, mine isn't a temp problem, maybe PWM, but surely not cpu. I've noticed that if i load a saved profile i'm unstable 90% of times, no problem with setting it manually, bah!

Try around with that setting, for me it also had an impact on stability as I discussed that with Eva.. somewhere in this thread I think. Also PWM frequency setting and IOH volts. When you set a boot-up baseclock there's no jumping RTL anymore I think. But are your issues now gone with your new ram or not?

Edit: Found it. But maybe you've read that already.

What?! 0619 BIOS works flawlessly with my w3520...1.175v BIOS to pass 200x20 no problem. However with high uncore (4000Mhz) will need slightly higher vcore to compensate. 227 bclk with QPI enabled cold boot to windows without any problem, but 228 failed no matter what PCI-E I used I guess that's the bclk wall for my w3520 then, can't handle high QPI Frequency. With QPI Disabled 232 bclk cold boot is ok.

your temps are very low actually
my xeon 4300 1.36v run with temps 76C under prime and 79C under linpack
and this is watercooled by heatkiller and pa120.3 with liquid metall as tim!
i would like oc more but i have to stack at 205x21 with current cpu

My loop is like DDC3.2 xspc res top -> 2 PA120.3 with medium yates -> HK3.0 Cu -> mcw30, all with 3/4" Norprene. Apart from the temps this build was just so fun, but I already have things I'd do differently with the next build. :p:

What do you mean by "no go"? Does 16 & 19 require more voltage than for example 05/08? Just got a new board from RMA so I'm still testing. So far I've established that my previous stable vcore setting is not enough for 06/19. I've flashed back to 05/08 now to check if it improves.
