Tried pulling the cmos battery, and i got nothing. I put it into maintenance mode, and it beeped 3 times at me. I'm guessing it's dead now..

3 beaps means no memory installed. Try cheaper ram 1 stickQuote:

Dont rma something that not broke like so many others. Now the corsair will not work at all in my board i get the 3 beeps in any mode. Ever since i decided to give it 2.6v lolQuote:

I just tested my corsair again. 3 beeps in maintenance. No beebs in normal no video at all in any mode. The board is telling me and you that there is no memory installed.
Sometimes when I run speedfan the IDU tells me my 3.3 and 5v are out of the recommended range. Anyone else get this ever?
I just thought of something... How do you register this board with INTEL for the friggin warrantee??? Its NOT supported thru email, and i didnt see anywhere on the site to register the board...:rolleyes:
This board kind of pisses me off, you know?
I think I figured out my problem: everything would be fine and dandy at 3.1GHz (345FSB), then when I'd go for 3.2GHz (356*9), I'd get screwed like with my first mobo. It'd save changes, reboot and then never POST. But I could always circumvent this by setting the jumper to Config and setting to defaults, but that's a pain in the ass. I think this board has FSB hole problems above about 345FSB for me, but I never tried 360 or 365 to see if there was indeed an FSB hole.
So I just flashed to 2507 BIOS and I'm at stock now. I'm wondering what to do about the Watchdog Timer?
I had noticed my temps were not right using chiiled water so i checked submerged pump and it was hardly flowing. i took my swiftech cpu block apart and was plugged solid with hair and some other stuff i wont mention. Put it back together and when from 30 idle at 3.9 to 30 full load at 4gig lol vcore 1.5 seems stable here. fsb 400mhz mem at 4:5.
my new bx2 will be here tuesday i changed from p5wdh-deluxe......Quote:

Remove power cord/or turn off PSU.
Change the jumper to maintenance mode.
Remove battery for 1 minute.
Remove the current display card and plug in another one.
Put the battery back in.
Power on the PSU, then turn on the computer. It should able to get into maintenance mode.
No guarantee it will work for you, but it works for me when I have 3 beep no boot.
I had a similar experience:Quote:

OC wise the latest BIOS, 2507, is as good as any - plus it fixes the HDD light always on problem if you disable the Marvell RAID controller. Just make sure you disable the Watchdog Timer in the Maintenance Menu or you'll have problems with any significant OC.
Looks like bumping to 1.6V MCH was the ticket for me to get beyond the usual 3.4GHz on this machine. Successfully running my 6600 to my goal of 3.6GHz right now. Looks like my 6600 at 1.3875 (1.353 w/droop) and the FSB at 1.3 are where its at for my machine, cannot go any lower voltages. Ran Orthos for an hour like this, crossing my fingers it is still running when I wake up :cool:
It's NOT the video card...Quote:

I know it's not your video card and I know it's not your video card causing the problem. But 3 beeps no boot happened to me too. For me, sometime once I change to another video card with nothing changed in BIOS, it boots up instantly. That's why I suggest you to try another video card.Quote:

1) If the answer to this was yes I'm sure someone would've said so already, but do the new bioses enable any more choices regarding cpu multiplier. Personally, I'm looking to take a xeon 3050/e6400 from 8 multi up to 9. Probably out of luck, huh?
2) Is there any consensus when it comes to northbridge heatsinks? I only think I've heard people use the Thermalright HR05 but that doesn't fit without adaptation or at least turning it, right? There must be some chipset heatsink that'll just fit!?
3) There was talk earlier in this thread about leaving bios settings at stock and making overclocking adjustments i a Windows app, making recovery from a bad overclock a breeze. However, I don't see any people using that, how come?
4) Wasn't there talk about collecting the numerical results of this thread in a table somewhere easy to find. I think that would be a really good idea. This thread is so full of valuable information it seems like a waste it's so inaccessible. (This should be post 1493 [edit 1495 ...], I rest my case.)
[offtopicish]
5) Some people here have setups similar to what I'm getting. I'm wondering if the 430 W (but good quality) PSU of a Antec P150 case will be enough for an overclocked xeon 3050/e6400 on a xbx2 with a x1900xt graphics card? Any opinions? Thanks in advance.
[/offtopicish]
Damn, very nice. I'm running 1.3vfsb and 1.6vmch but at 1.5vcore (1.48ish w/ vdrop)... I get an error after 20 minutes in Orthos at any lower voltage. I tried the "burn-in" theory but it didn't help me. I was really hoping for 400x9 on 1.4vcore... oh well.Quote:

It's a RAM clocking problem! I was getting unsuccessful posts when I'd up to FSB above 345 or so because this board does not seem to like clocking my Ballistix Tracers much beyond DDR2-1000, at any timings. However, it does DDR2-912, 4-4-4-8 fine at 2.28v so far.
Has anyone else experienced this? I thought I was getting FSB holes, but I lowered the RAM frequency from 800MHz in BIOS to 667MHz which yielded 456 (912 effective) and it booted fine. This was the missing component in the "why won't this POST?" equation; even at 5-5-5-15, this board seems to have an issue with clocking this RAM (might be all D9) past DDR2-1000. Oh Lordy, it's just like the DS3.
I'm running my RAM in the black slots now, as I had the same problem with the blue slots. Any suggestions?
A couple of days ago, I bought and installed scythe infinity. After that, I was able to easily reach 400x9 with Vcore@1.4750V, Vfsb@1.3V and Vmch@1.6V (14h OCCT stable). Currently, I'm testing to see how stable it is with lower Vfsb.
However, the temps as reported by coretemp are around 68-71C (depending on the room temperature). Should these temps worry me?
Btw, rising Vcore usually means higher temps, right? Does this happen with Vfsb too?
Also, @idle, coretemp shows that the 2 cores have a diffrence about 3C, is that a sign that I failed to apply arctic silver 5 in a proper way?
board is a badaxe2 rev 505 (2333 bios I think) and cpu is an e6600/L640A656
PS: amazing thread, my previous rig was about 8 years old and with no OC experience with the latest, with your help managed to easily go to 400x9, thanx everyone :toast:
thanks for the clue watchdog timer disable!Quote:

You do have to mount it slightly twisted from parallel due to the design of the spring clip but it's just esthetics and doesn't affect performance in any way.
3) Haven't heard of an OC app that works for BX2 - plus it's my old habit to OC from the BIOS. Recovery from a bad OC isn't too bad with the BX2 - usually switching off the P/S and waiting 10 sec does the job and the BIOS jumper is easily accessible for the really bad OC's.
4) Are you volunteering? :D
5) Sounds like you're putting together a decent rig...why settle for a borderline P/S and always wonder if it's holding back your OC or causing instability problems - not to mention the X1900XT is a power hog.
Good Luck!
Agreed. I feel and do the same. :toast:Quote:
