Thanks jeff. I used 2x10k VR on the vdimm and it is working great. You really have to turn the VR a lot to increase voltage, which is what i wanted so i could fine tune it better and i dont jump from 3.3 to 3.8 with a single turn.
Thanks for the help guys :D
I'm not having much luck over here... I'm using the 6-15 bios.
So far if i go over 240FSB 300HTT x 8 mult it just locks.
I got the same overclock on my old chaintech NF 150 board. Only difference is that i got 2 512MB dimms installed.
Couldn't that mean you just have a dud proc? That would be one lame oc'er I guess....
Naw.. I've had it stable at 2500Mhz on the chaintech board 10.5x238 and used 11x230 stable.Quote:

I'm just thinking either this bios still has the 300HTT bug or the locks aint working.. maybe just the sata link raid chip dont like anything over 240FSB? I'd love to try the NF raid but i'm not likin the idea of losin all the data and starting over on my 240GB raid 0 setup :eek: I've been lucky the both the chaintech and epox boards have the same stat raid chip so i didnt have to lose the stripe.
Hell i've tried raising the timings on the ram to 2.5,4,4,7 and tired going over 300HTT and instant lockin in windows or the system wont post.
If i use 2x on the LDT or LTD(whatever it is) the system refuses to post.. that bugs me hehe.. its wants 3x or 4.. I'm thinking 2x and i might beable to go above 300HTT.. I just want 250FSB on the ram and i think i'd be extremely happy for once.
Also for some odd reason this board at the same settings as the chiantech benches slower on the ram in sandra.. About 3612/3612. On the chaintech i got 3700/3700..
I noticed a similar problem with the 2x multi. My system just says to reset the spoped config in BIOS... I can set 250x10 (stock) but if it is at 2x LDT, it gives me the message. If I ignore it, it boots fine, but when in Windows, it IS 2000MHz :( I have tried different multi and FSB combo's, always the same result- it sets the FSb to 200 x selected multi :(
Hello!
How high vcore is this mobo able to give without a mod?
With official BIOSes, it is 1.7vcore max, but if you use one of the betas, it is 1.85 :)
Haha, nice.. Is the betas better for overclocking or what?
The reason im asking is because im considering to buy this mobo :)
I had the 1.85vcore beta, but it had all sorts of stability issues with it, so I don't use it. I just use my vmods :)
Hey how do you daisy chain 2 10K pots together? The 3 legged kind.
Just cut off the leg closest to the adjuster end, and solder the 2 in series :)
Thanks!
Heres a shot of the best i can get out this usin the 6-15 bios.
another..
The crazy thing is that the newest sandra version benches my ram slower at 3575/3575.. I tested it a bunch of times and its the same everytime.. I didnt change a thing in the bios.
nice mate. Thats about what im doing. Using the 8x multi and 3x htt at like 305 htt. 2450 mhz cpu and 245mhz on my ram 3.28 v
I like this board :D
What kind of cooling is that, and is that realy with only 1.6vcore?
Just some regular water cooling.. Yeah 1.6vcore but.. the wired thing is that when theres a load on the system it jumps to 1.7v.. What i have set in the bios.. I know someone said something like its because of the cool'n quite feature but i have that disabled in the bios and it sti ll happends.Quote:

My vcore jumpes around like that too. at 1.7 in the bios, load is 1.79 and idle is like 1.68
its crazy
u should be happy. its better that way rather than the vcore dropping on load
Yeah, that doesn't sound bad. Just as long as it is enough voltage to keep it stable idle. Does it fluctuate at all under load, or does it just go up and stay stable?
It goes up and stays stable on my board, maybe this is a blessing in desguise no need to give it hella voltage at idle right
Same with mine. It will change a little during load but only from like 1.780 to 1.788 or something.Quote:

Epox should claim they did that on purpose...sounds like cool 'n quiet for oc'ers!
Damn lazy fedex not delivering today...can't wait to get my hands on this board (j not +). I wish I had gone with a 3000 nc instead of a 3200 cw. I realy hope it is atleast a cg.
My Vcore is around 1.7v unloaded and 1.76v loaded. This is with a setting of 1.8v in the BIOS btw.

What bios are you using jeff?
