the NB is a 90nm chip so it wont get damage until about 1.8-1.9V, so stop babying the chipset it will do 1.5-1.6V easy with the stock cooling

tried the all betas i seem to be losing my sata drives after 500fsb
u need like 1.8V SB
Windows doesn't load. Thank you anyway.Quote:

So now I have 2gb of Crucial PC6400 with yellow/machined edges spreaders. I'm 99% sure these are fatbodys. I bought these around a year ago and they've been boxed since.
Any links/suggestions to subtimings/trfc/PL/MHZ for these puppies? I'm cruising so far at 1100 5-5-5-15 2.2v.
I have an Areca ARC-1220 and am considering this board. Will your Areca work in PCIE3 (the PCIE close to the bottom of the board -- I think that's a full speed PCIE slot)?Quote:

anybody tried crossfire on this board?

Is 41C a high temp for the chipset with all voltages on stock? Ambient temperature is now a little hot,like 28-30degrees and i've got a HR05SLI/IFX mounted on the NB.
I plan to buy more memory, some 2x2GHz kit and need some advice.
Either Corsair Dominator TWIN2X8500C5DF or OCZ DDR2 PC8500 4096MB KIT, Reaper HPC
What kit will play nice/best with this board?
the dominators are real nice that would be my choiceQuote:

I just got those exact Doms and like them so far. I haven't tried to push them yet but they do run at advertised specs at advertised voltage. NewEgg is still selling them for $106 after $30 MIR, the tri-fan, and free shipping.Quote:

Then I go for a Corsair kit! :)
What timings and voltage do you use for moment?
Hi emoners i am running 2 w/cooled HD2900 XT's in crossfire, works really well. Thinking about upgrading to HD4870's when i see some decent reviews and EK come up with some blocks for them :)Quote:

Over the next six weeks I will be collecting components for my next build to replace my aging NF4 box, which I will not even bother to put in my sig. ;)
After reading this entire 65-page thread, I've decided to go with another DFI board, the x48 LT T2R. I have just a few questions:
1. My plan was to watercool the CPU and NB, put an HR-09 and a 40mm fan on the PWMs, and repaste the stock SB sink. Will that be sufficient cooling or should I go through the trouble to get a PWM waterblock here in the US?
2. I can't decide between the Q6700 and the Q9450 for this board. Do you think there will be a big overclocking difference between them? I guess it comes down to whether this board's FSB will be limiting (therefore making the Q6700's 10x multi important) or the CPU will be limiting (making the 10x multi unimportant). If the difference is less than 200Mhz I will get the Q9450, otherwise the Q6700.
3. I've heard multiple memory recommendations in this thread for 2x2GB kits including the Corsair Dominators, the OCZ Flex II, and the G-Skill kits. I'm thinking of getting the OCZ Flex II PC2-9200, but is there a better choice? Also, I am correct in assuming that 2x2GB is better for than NB than 4x1GB with the load of a quad-core?
Thanks for all assistance. :)
1) that sounds good but the hr-09 wont fit the board, and the stock sink works great with mx2
2) on liquid the q6700 is better
3) ocz flex is bad its aluminum, and restricts flow and since power chips dont get hot its not worth it, and u cant go 4x1GB unless u want to spend alot of money on ghm and with liquid on teh cpu the fsb will be high enough that the powerchips that only do cas 5 will be good. i like the gskill non pi
I have just gotten some time to get back at my QX9770 ... and I have the OCZ Flex ll PC2 9200 DIMMS. I have to say that once I got some voltage to them and re-did my volts on the NB ... I am having some way decent overclocks. I will soon put my rig under water, but not not for another two weeks or so. Been building a house so time with the computer is only when it's raining (like now :p:)

you need low gtl settings to get past 550Quote:
