Well, replace the NB heat sink with a better one, like n old alpha Socket A cooler with a decent fan. Im running Vmch @ 1.95V (real) and uguru never reports over 40 degrees.

I'm well happy that i've now got to 390x9 thanks to your advice. Voltages are a lot higher than i wanted but i guess its whats needed.
vMCH = 1.8
vCORE = 1.55
vDIMM = 2.45
Tightened the timings as well, all in all i am pretty happy, the only thing im concerned about now is the temp, uGuru is reporting the cpu at 50 and i guess thats at idle, i need to gauge it at load, i dont think my scyth ninja is doing a very good job.
Got a couple more questions for you guys and gals
I am using vista, does anyone know of a decent core temp alternative?
Speedfan is saying it can not find a supported device, whats that all about? i have an e6600!!i have disabled all the advanced CPU settings, would this cause a problem?
Many thanks to all :)

Do not trust these onboard sensors, my new L628B Xeon sees 83+C in coretemp priming :( 3903mhz/1.58v realQuote:

Mobo walls for me priming @ 435fsb @ 1.91v real (2.0 bios) vMCH and a MCW-30 on the chipset...
thanks for your advice :)
testing now with more vcore.. yes the NB cooling is the next thing i would do.
My build is finally complete!

in uguru setup/OC guru and u can make the change, i'm getting the same but that's because i forgotten to change from 4/5 to 1/1 in bios memsetting when i'm runnig in 401fsb:) bwt with old bios i think 10.01 i don't remember i had the same problem but after flashing no problemos other then i forgot memsetting:)
PCIe frequency adjustment has never worked on this board, I was hoping the new BIOS might have addressed this.Quote:

m8, your mobo is in btx position.. you should know that the silent otes are not made to work on btx setup..
so i think you need to replace your chipset coolers to custom ones.. what you have there gets very hot on the mobo when oces ,in the btx position
Νο......With the latest bioses OR the latest uGuru, there in NO PCI-E option......You must use the previus version of the uGuru so as to see and change the PCI-E frequency......:)Quote:

i guess i don't have the latest uguru since i can see the pci-e frequency and change it.
however whenever i change it, my computer blue screens and windows won't boot. i have to do a cmos clear in order to get it to boot.
There's is an option in an older official bios (first release if I remember right) that has the option into bios....:)
IF you install a PATA HD, you'll be OK and you could change it....but with NO SATA on the mobo.....:)

TIP: DON'T clear c-mos every time your mobo crashes......POWER OFF the switch behind your PSU and after a few seconds (you'll see mobo's stand-by led goes off) , switch it on again....and power on.....;)
.
ahh gotcha. that makes sense and thanks for the crash tip.
do you think if i plugged in a pata drive, set it to 101 and then installed a sata drive, the pci-e frequency would stick?
No SATA.....at least for 3D benches which we need at least 125MHz PCI-E for the VGAs to unleach their power...... ;)Quote:

I think I may have figured out part of my problem.
The Crucial Ballistix PC6400 are rated 4-4-4-12 @ 2.2
I run 9 x 401 with 1.45 vcore + 2.2 vdimm.. SUCCESS!!! I got orthos blend to run for 20 minutes, something I've never done before.
So I get a little greedy, up my vcore to 1.5 + 2.3 vdimm and 9 x 413... blend errors at the usual 4 minute 30 second mark...
what the crap?
so finally i think to myself... what if i go lower... lower voltage...
vcore 1.45 + 2.1 vdimm (less than stock rated) and this is what i get at 9 x 405...
http://www.johnshim.com/forums/bleed...blend9x405.jpg
what the figgity? i need less than stock to get blend stable???
argh... has this been my problem all this time? too much vcore and vdimm???
Why are you running a 9 multi?Quote:

i could drop it to 8 and test.
Dropping multis gave me very bad results...Quote:

thanks for the suggestion.
I've known this since the 1.2 bios. The board doesn't handle the lowering of multis well. It ocs best at the stock multi except if you have a X6800.
This is one of the things I wish they would fix. Shimmishim, how do you know your cpu is good to 3.7ghz? Did you previously have it in another board?
i've tested it at 3.75 ghz or 375 x 10 orthos blend and small fft on this board.Quote:

i'm gonna keep tweaking away! but now i have a strange feeling that my ram is to blame for all my troubles...
