Ok,thx!1,25+0,35=1,60!I needed on P5E over 1,70 for some seriuos benching,so i`m wondering,where is the catch!Will it be enough?But it`s also true,that P5E is a really crap mobo to:down:

I have a GA-X38-DQ6 and its stable @ 475x8 with my Q6600 with "only" +0.325
On my Maximus I need 1.75V to load windows with same config...But I have the Maximus for only one day..so you know heheh
Rbs.
:wave:
OT, but...has anyone tried Vista SP1 yet?
Yes, I tried Vista sp1 x64, and my tv tunner application stoped working, so it's bulls**t. :)Quote:

I have 2 sata dvd+rw drives with latest F7 motherboard bios.
Look what happend to my X38 DQ6 yesterday ... :gay:

sorry for the quality .. Nokia isn't the best piece of HW but if you focus you can see it
The funny part is .... it's working ... i can boot up work play ... but from time to time it switches off and on again
but that piece of ***** blown and took the SB XFI Elite Pro with him to the deeps of the silicium hell
Go transistor go !
HOLY CRAP!...half the MOSFET has been blown off!...did it explode?, that surely is worthy of an RMA?
How did the X-Fi get killed?...did it punch a hole the the X-Fi PCB?
It's not even a critical MOSFET, was your PCI-E voltage set high or something?
I see you modded the cooling, is that a Thermalright on the SB?...what are those copper sinks covering the MOSFETs?
Have you set the boot order correctly?, have you set your DVD-RW as first/second boot device?....are the drive detected in bios etc?Quote:

I'm afraid something alse hppened there. A shortcut or something like this ... You should look under the mb and see if there isn't the PCB burned also, and if there isn't a shortcut there :).Quote:

I also have a X-Fi Elite Pro. ;) And a work with it a lot, changed the PCI slots, and nothing like this happened ...

The Copper heatsink is on the Gigabyte RAID controler it gets hot so i sticked one to it. Other are on the CPU mosfets the crazy cool is down and on the NB and SB are two Thermalright 5/IFXes. Those small copper thermalrights are everywhere .. every warmer chip i found on the mobo i heatsinked. Especially those CPU mosfets that was crazy but now is great ,... but still they're just warm not hot ... about 45 degrees with those tiny coolers
The mobo didn't get burned nothing .. just half of the mosfet blew off ... the board even got passed 2 hours of Orthos or Sandra ...But then while browsing on the internet .. Freeze .... hard reset and its working again. I'm working on a RMA right as now as we speak ..
Kondik: I think there was something you missed, the chipsets, even the power one, don't just blow away. Let us know if the X-Fi will still work. I bet it will not.
I do not have any heatsink other than the standard mobo... I even didn't removed crazycool and managed to mount Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme with it. Well I changed the heatsink from my memos with Thermaltake CL-R0026 SPIRIT RS.
Yup my memories have CL-R0026 SPIRIT RS 4x ... every Geil one
XFi is working .. just my desk mic and mic input is dead completly but the card is still working that's the strange thing. I put GeminiII on it .. the crazy cool needed to be put down .. that's why i ordered an 120 eXtreme a couple of minutes back. Crazy cool is evil and doesn't cool well that's why i don't want it there ... it's more a warmer than a cooler with those thermalrights my temps were much lower. But that PCI mosfet is a mystery ..
Kondik: What is the mobo temp ? just curious :)
Before it was SB 37 , NB 48 , Mosfet 49 - defalut chewing gum on the coolers
Now with Thermalrights SB 33 , NB 41 [ with MX-2 ], MOSFET ,honestly they're not wam at
all even when I unstick the cooler and touch them they're just warm not hot ... so IMO
on the Crazy Cool system from GB the MOSFET part cooler is just for enlarging the heat
area of the cooling system. Those thermalrights are cool and look cool ,but the GeminiII
made them unusefull. The funny thing is the 5/IFX on the south bridge when in | position
it blocks the memory modules with Thermalright 0026 coolers [ heatpipes] and when in
- position it blocks the Zalman V1000 on VGA ... i hate it .. seriously
Kondik: Cool !:up:
But NB 39, and SB 33 is it good ? (With Crazycool and 2/120 Case Fans ) :D
It shows up in windows and both drives work.Quote:

IMO Crazu cool sucks :/ that's why i bought Thermalright , and today i ordered 120 eXtreme. BTW Board got RMAe'dQuote:

In the time the MOBO is on RMA i'll tune / tweak my case cooling a bit .. cable managment airflow and so on
Hows this do for max FSB for Duals? The price is right, just would like to know if its good for 500 or so with my e8400. Maximus looks over-complicated and pricy. Raid 0 is in my future, too.
Hey guys,
I've had instability troubles lately. I've isolated the issues to come from my Memory. I just can't seem to find any stable settings. The best one I've found so far will do 3 hours of Orthos Blend test, but then it will fail. However if I use the Small FFTs test (CPU only) it will pass 11 hours of Orthos just fine, and about the same results go for Prime95. I want a minimum of 12 hours of Orthos Blend test to be stable before I use the over-clocked settings 24/7.
Trying the Memory to all available ratios in the BIOS, from going down to 1.7v or up to 2.45v hasn't helped at all. Going from 4-4-4-12 at any voltages mentioned to 7-7-7-24 again at any voltages mentioned still doesn't help... heck, I can't even POST at all when going from 1066Mhz to 800Mhz (yes you read it right, my PC2-8500 can't do 6400 speeds at all). I was thinking the following: 1) The Power Supply is going bunkers about my demands and can't hold it for more than 3 hours in Orthos... 2) My Memory simply sucks quite hard... or 3) My current motherboard's BIOS revision just doesn't like that specific Memory module at all.
Then I've read just a few minutes ago on another discussion forum that usually increasing both the PCI-E frequency from 100Mhz to 105Mhz, and its voltage by around +0.20v to +0.30v will help increase the overall system stability and should also impact the Memory stability.
My question is simple: Is it true?
My secondary question is: Would increasing the PCI-E frequency and voltage potentially and in the long-term permanently damage my Graphics Card?
EDIT: By the way I wanted to know if the timings shown in CPU-z are recommendations? Why is it showing those timings under specific voltages and frequencies? http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/2980/memorycg2.png
Thanks.
Witch one of those coolers won't block North Bridge with Thermalright HR-05 / IFX or 4 RAM Modules with Thermaltake 0026 RS Spirit on all of them.
Thermalrights Ultra - 120 Extreme, SI-128 + SI-128 SE, Copper Sytche Ninja, Noctua NH-U12P, Zalman CNPS9700 LED.
I really need one that won't block RAM's or NB ... the GeminiII was huge and blocked nearly anything in any position. I don't want to use that Crazy Cool .. se keep in mind modded NB - SB - Mosfet Cooling.
I think that will be a problem with all of them if the Thermalright HR-05 / IFX's heat spread surface is not moved down a little. Can it be moved?Quote:
