Yes some people require up to 1.6V, even my XMP profile puts it to around 1.5V for 2GHz. On the Corsair forums they say it can take between 1.5-1.6V. I personally don't like taking it above 1.35V.Quote:

You can go over 1.35V as far as I know, that isn't the "dead end", it all depends on the speed/timings of your RAM and the speed of your CPU.Quote:

For temperatues, Everest, CoreTemp and HWMonitor all give rougly the same temperatures. Real Temp on the other hand tends to give about 2-3C more than every other application.
And this of course.Quote:

Now, on 0702 it shows 22. All settings on both screenies are at Auto... So obviously turbo mode was not default on 0602, at least not on my board. Below is what 0602 defaulted to on my board. By the way, the beta bios 0702 was said to lower temps on the mobos chipset. THAT is why I tried it....Quote:

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k1...me/OCMulti.jpg
nice turbo mode...
By the way everyone, how reliable is Prime95?
I have been reading the Prime95 forums and it seems that Prime95 can get errors naturally... as the whole idea of it is to use a very complex maths to find the Mersenne primes.
I also wonder the same thing because I can run LinX for hours, which is supposed to be a better stress tester and not have any errors, yet with Prime95 I can get random errors...
Just makes me wonder because we all rely on programs such as Prime95, but couldn't an error occur simply because the application encounted a natural bug...?
lolQuote:

Not that I wish to do a "told ya so", that is exactly why I don't jump into BETA BIOSs. Wait until you find out the release log and the source. For all you know it could be some 3rd party that gets a kick out of killing people's boards :down:.Quote:

I have now managed to get my i7 920 D0 stable at 3.8ghz using settings simular to yours. Finding BIOS 0602 fine now Ive enabled 100% LLC.
All
I'm using 0702 with No issues since Saturday.
It EZ Flashed with No issues.
Just use EZ Flash from within the BIOS and have it read the file from a USB Thumb device.
I suggest to keep 602.
I successfully recovered the bios.
Seeing as people are actually using 0702 I would assume it is pretty safe. Let's not jump to conclusions just because one user had a bad flash :)
Glad to here that Jacek,Quote:

Thats exactly what I did with no issues also since last Saturday. The only difference I have seen so far is now my multi is 22 instead of the 21 it was with 0602, but those are Auto settings which none of us care about, lol. But other than that a very stable bios so far....Quote:

Try increasing your QPI/VTT a little. You can try about 1.4-1.5V. Set timings manually to 9-9-9-24.
DRAM TIMING MOD=3N, the rest on auto.
DRAM VOLTAGE = 1.6
other voltages - auto.

kullymontana: The sensors that Intel uses on their CPUs have never been very accurate at reporting idle temperatures and things are probably worse on the new 32nm Core i7-980X, especially when individual cores can go to sleep with little to no power being used for some cores. Accurate idle temperature monitoring is not what Intel designed these sensors for. They were only designed to control thermal throttling and thermal shutdown and for that purpose, they work great.
Comparing two different programs that read totally different sensors is pointless, especially when none of the sensors are calibrated. What's your water temperature near your CPU? The core sensor reading 28C in your picture might be close to the truth.
NathObeaN: I like your style. Your computer is not Prime stable so instead of fixing the problem, you decide it is easier to slag Prime95. Then you're bashing RealTemp and other programs that you know nothing about.
Core temperatures of Intel CPUs can change instantaneously. No two programs are going to be reading the sensors at the exact same time so when lightly loaded, you will see different programs report different temperatures. That doesn't prove anything or mean one program is bad and one is good. When lightly loaded, it usually doesn't mean anything.
The best way to compare the accuracy of core temperature monitoring programs is to run a consistent load like Prime 95 - Small FFTs on each thread and then give the CPU 5 or 10 minutes to stabilize and then you can post a screen shot to show us all these differences you are seeing.
On the newer Core i CPUs, TJMax is written into a register for each core and the temperature sensor data is written into another core. On these CPUs, RealTemp and Core Temp are reading the exact same registers and should be reporting the exact same thing.
Core Temp has also just started using the Intel recommended method to report the multiplier accurately just like RealTemp does. You can download his latest beta here for your comparison:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=488
Some of the other programs you mentioned do not bother reading all 4 cores of a Core i7. One program sometimes only reads 2 of the 4 cores and pretends that it is reading all 4 cores. Maybe when you are testing you will be able to determine what program is doing that.
SkOrPn: CPU-Z has a problem with accurately reporting the multiplier when a Core i CPU is lightly loaded. You might want to try adjusting your C-States as well as the Minimum processor state in the Control Panel -> Power Options to see what's really going on. I know NathObeaN thinks RealTemp is a piece of crap but the multiplier it displays is extremely accurate at idle because it uses the method that Intel recommends in their November 2008 Turbo White Paper. Unlike NathObeanN, the programmer of Core Temp and I actually read junk like that. Don't be afraid to trust what it is telling you or what the latest beta version of CoreTemp is telling you.
What the hell?Quote:

and... "bashing Real Temp", seriously, I merely pointed out that in comparison to 3 other applications, it is the ONLY one that reports temperatures differently and the ONLY one that doesn't seem to line up with BIOS temperatures - wow I am really bashing Real Temp - I'm just stating a fact, calm down. Not to mention the fact I never even said anything about idle/load temperatures. For idle temperatures none of them are "stable" as the readings are quite sporadic.
I don't know whether you have had a bad day or something but don't quote me and have a go at me for something that I never even did.
EDIT:
Funny how when I download the Real Temp 3.59 BETA the temps are perfectly in line with all the other applications. So the current 3.40 on TechPowerUp obviously needed updating :rolleyes:.
Here is an attempt with C1E disabled, CxE disabled, EIST disabled (just to be sure lower multi doesn't affect it) and ACPI 2.0 enabled/disabled (makes no difference)Quote:

Obviously I am not delusional as the latest update seems to have rectified the "problem".
On another note though, I hardly see how saying "I wouldn't use Real Temp" is "bashing" it. A lot of people would say I wouldn't use Windows 7, doesn't mean they are "bashing it" they just might prefer OSX or Linux.
Can't seem to understand how to set my IOH voltage ...when I set it to auto, its at 1.16v? But I think its not enough. I have a HD 5850 and I'll have another one this week, I want to overclock both...
Here is my Extreme tweaker settings and tell me what I should change...( I get constant BSOD if I dont put timings mode at 3N)
everything is stable for 2 hours Linx stable...need to tweak a couple of Value...but the Metro 2033 Keep crashing when I play, and 3d mark Vantage also gives me some annoying vertical line before freezing like Metro 2033Code:Target CPU Frequency 4294MHz

For crying out loud lol Yes, in comparison to 3 other applications it was unreliable, the latest BETA is now on par with them. Yeah you should download the latest version, but I didn't deserved to get flammed for using the latest official version. The BETA isn't even mentioned on the TechPowerUp page I had to hunt elsewhere for it.Quote:

As talking from experience one or two versions of Prime95 have been known to hold bugs. When Mutli-Core CPUs first emerged on the market there were a tone of problems with Prime95/Orthos compatibility. There still exists a few bugs with hyperthreading whilst using the application as well. That is why I asked if the program is reliable.
hye all...:)..i'm new here..:)..this is my first post..
i've seen in the first page from this thread that there is a note about i7 965 which is "1. FIX SATA 6G device may experience S3 resume failure when using Intel i7 965 CPU".
Since i'm using i7 965 with asus r3e, what are the problem i will be facing if i decide to flash my bios..??..currently, i'm using the stock version which is 0402..
u should consider this bro..
http://www.ekwaterblocks.com/shop/ca...820254&x=0&y=0
http://www.ekwaterblocks.com/shop/ca...820247&x=0&y=0
602 is worth the download anyway mate, the full specs of the BIOS update aren't listed there. It actually adds performance and overclocking capabilities for memory. Others have also reported better CPU overclocking with the newer BIOS.
thanks bro..:)..i will flash my bios to 0602..and see how it goes with my 4.00g's..Quote:

I have never failed a flash with EZ Flash 2
Nice recovery on that bad flash though :up:
For those who wonder, 0702 beta is no third party, it´s from Asus but it´s not ready for release yet.
i'm usin 702 good so farQuote:

after fixing the heatpipe installation myself with decent thermal paste i managed to reduce it to 68oc / 70oc idle.
[QUOTE=If your sound card is PCI-E then you can put it in any of the slots as PCI-E is backwards compatible. If however, it is PCI then you will either have to use the onboard sound for 2x PCI-E x16 graphics cards, or use your PCI sound card along with 2x PCI-E GFX cards with a x8/x16 combo (could be x8/x8 I'm not sure - either way you won't notice much difference tbh but it's up to you), maybe invest in a PCI-E sound card?.[/QUOTE]
Thanks heaps for the feedback Nath.
I do appreciate your help & confirming my thoughts.
Seeing as how I sold several organs to buy all this kit I may as well get myself a new PCI-e sound card too.
Thanks again Nath.
The max QPI Voltage is 1,35VQuote:

Bodar I Usually use 1.45-1.5 for 6ghz benching ln2 and chip clocks the same still :)
yep never had a problem with EZ Flash 2Quote:

Any ideas? I have tweaked with the PCI-E frequency, IOH/CPU clock skew (I got it to 215BCLK posting with that somehow), CPU differential applitude, PWM frequency and all the voltages.
I would just like a combination of settings to try as tweaking them individually is getting me no where. Surely I should be able to get past 212BCLK?
EDIT: This is with a i7 930 btw.
Have you Test the CPU on a other Board or only at the RIIIE ?
Can your CPU handle a higher bclk?
Could be the CPU yes. Do you have the opportunity to try it on another board?Quote:

I have tried some random tweaking after reading, tried the PCI-E at 110,111,112 and 113 - no difference.
HOWEVER, my computer wouldn't boot at 213, I checked the timings that the BIOS had determined to be "auto" as I left it at that for safe measure. Am I correct in assuming that the RTL values on channels A>C should all be different?
The timings get closer and closer together until when it hits 213 they become the same on channel B and C - doesn't post. Change the RTL timings slightly so they are different - it posts, but the BIOS is still laggy. I tried loosening the timings another 10, loosened nearly all the RAM timings in fact, but 213 is still laggy and 214 still won't post - annoyed! It has to be a timing issue as so far both RTL and clock skew seem to have an effect on the posting ability and the CPU can get to 235BCLK on QPI Slow Mode.
Thanks for the help guys :up:.
vtt is low...should be around 1.50v+
whats your uncore at? Im finding on water that my board doesnt like much over 4ghz maybe thats just gulfie though
Am I correct in thinking that vtt = qpi/dram voltage? Isn't that a little high for such a mild OC. Especially considering my qpi/dram is at 1.25V with a 211BCLK and its prime/linx stable.Quote:

Uncore is either 2x or 2x+1 on the RAM. Which I have put at the lowest multi also... so for a 214BCLK it would be either:Quote:

With 2200mhz Ram ok

I edited your template with settings I would try, so you can give it a shot if you want.Quote:

Thanks Splave and Marvin82! :) I'm trying a couple settings using SS right now. 250 BCLK with this ES but hav'nt tried to push it further...Does uncorrectable hardware bsod have to do with the cpu or memory? I get that sometimes while trying for 4.80ghz on ss and vantage. I've been testing for an 06 run.. Going to grab some LN2 tomorrow and see.. cheers!

What can be considered safe in the option PWM Volt Control? [auto] [6v] [7v] [8v] [9v] [10v] are the selectable options.
It's for a 4.4GHz overclock.
Also... some options in bios 0602 are different than the manual... is not it?
Like i can't find CPU Voltage Control [Absolute(VID)] [Relative (Dynamic)]
Or
QPI Loadline Calibration.
I did some testing with my 920D0 with a very small SS at -20C .
First boot at 246 BCLK .... and cpuz-validation at 250 .
It can run 246 BCLK spi32m with no problems . :D
Triple channel and RAM at 2000Mhz .

Gonna play a bit more now ! :p:
^^
Very nice Stelios! :up:
is it dangerous for an i7 965 cpuV reaching 1.440v on 4.00g's..??..i just keep playing with the CPU/VTT and IOH voltage with other setting on auto...

Today I just received my new HD 5850, it has a different BIOS from my other HD 5850...they are both reference card (one from Biostar (only one I could find) and one sapphire) My Rig was full stable at 4.3 Ghz but now I get constant BSOD.... What do I need to know when putting two GPUs in crossfire
-Should I remake my whole overclock?
-Is there some settings I should play with? Adding which voltage.
Thank you
Thank you mate :thumb: I tried but doesnt work...it seems like I cant use 1N timing mode. not sure if its normal, I still have a lot to learn. About CPU PWN Frequency, what does this setting do?Quote:

Well, my R3E presented me with something new this evening....
http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/9...toothstack.jpg
Anytime I try to access the Bluetooth Manager I'm presented with this notification. So, just what to I need to do with the Bluetooth drivers? I Googled the message ad discovered a ton of other people with notebook issues. The last thing I want to do is booger up a good Win7 install by screwing with incorrect drivers!
wkakakaka...finally i got a friend here..same here too bro..!!..what is the problem..??Quote:

Pretty glad too, didnt want much to do with a flaky board and the R3E really suits my needs.
Have just got my board but at the minute i have crap memory! Can anyone recomend me any fast memory tri channel with tight timing! My budget is £400 for memory!

Oh ya, thanks zsamz_ :up:
Will flash my BIOS tonight with 0702, having strange issues with mine again whilst overclocking.Quote:

Absolute and relative VID are not present in BIOS 0602 and to enable QPI Loadline Calibration you have to move a jumper on the mobo.Quote:

Going by the R3E manual, am I correct that there's no way to run the GPUs in x16 mode when one of the other red PCIE slots is also occupied? In other words, when I stick the NIC in the last red PCIE the mobo will auto configure to x16 x8 x8 and there's no way to run them in x16 x16 x1 like on the R2E? Thanks.
Hi Mate ! Nice to see you around . :):)Quote:

Yes , 2000CL7 memories run very nice on REX3 .Quote:

I'll keep you updated .
@Bodar
i think your Problem is the QPI Link
But you use the Slow Mode and have a wall at 250
you can test it at 224 Bclk with normal QPI Link
Is the bosd the same than you have a wall
