have you tried a hard reset? meaning unplug pc, leave for 30 seconds plug in and boot.

i fixed mine by upping my pcie value to 101mhz

I have tried that.. Sometimes it work after unplugging power, but then after reboot - it comes again.. :banana::banana::banana::banana:

In order to restore 16X you'll need to perform a complete reset.
Then bring up your Vcore a little along with other voltages to stabilize your oc before you boot back into windows.
Even ram timings and voltage can make a difference
You may think its stable but it may not be and any one of the factors listed could trigger the 1X pci bus width errors.
I have heard the 0614 bios may not be plagued with this but can’t confirm that.
I have also duplicated this error at stock speeds and by raising Vcore slightly the system stabilized.
I hope Asus gets this fixed soon.:mad:

Hi all,

Could anyone tell me how safe is to use 24/7 my C2D E6600 at 3.6 Ghz and 1.575V set in BIOS on this motherboard? The temps on the CPU under load go sometimes up to 60-62C (52-55 idle), but no higher. The MoBo temps in the same time do not go over 42C as it is well cooled. I mean, how long is my CPU going to last under such voltage and temps? :)

did you use AS5? yeah if you could reset the heatsink and apply some more as5. also bump up you Vcore just a bit. it should be fully stable at 3.2 :D

1.575 is too much unless you have water cooling :eek:

I really hope they still have a team working hard for a new bios for this board... There are just too many quirks and problems with mobo this at the moment.

OK, but which then is the maximum CPU Vcore set in BIOS that could be safely used 24/7 under my TT Big Typhoon?

If you really want to be technical about it the Intel data sheets show maximum ratings for the core 2 processor as follows. .
1.3625 is the maximum during normal operation.
1.55 is the absolute maximum voltage
The maximum temperature is 61.4C @ 65 watts for the E6600 series processor.
These values are guidelines @ stock rated speeds.
There aren’t very many people here at stock rated speeds so the best advice would be to watch your temps and if you’re worried about your voltages follow the guidelines set by Intel.

"i would try higher Vdimm up to 2.4v and higher Vcore up to 1.55v to come out of a hibernation state.

also...try switching to S3 to see if that is any different."

coming out of hibernation is not a problem - that works great.... it's resuming from S3 that doesn't work!

:D

To solve the 1X PCIe issue, everytime i restart the computer, i go into the bios and adjust the PCIe MHz, from 100 to 110 or vice verca. and it always seems to work.

So far I haven’t needed to reset and haven’t experienced the 1X error in awhile.
Changing the pci express frequency makes perfect sense.
I'll try that next time.:toast:

No one can determine that for your setup. You have to figure that out on your own. Every CPU, motherboard, ram,etc is different.

I run 1.5 24/7... i wouldnt worry too much with 1.575 either. No one has ever killed a conroe with volts. Some dont clock well anymore, but thats from really high voltage (closer to 1.7)

Personally if i were you i would go down to 1.5 if you can, but your temps are not so bad.

Im running 1.51V here at 3.535ghz

50C load.

I want it to die so I can get a B or C revision chip, instead of this A :p

me too :D want my chip to die so i can jump onto kentsfield or a e6700 revision B

running 24/7 1.6625 vcore (droop is like 0.07 volts) at max 67 celsius orthos (only during orthos, even when encoding with cce it only hits 59).

I worry only because many ppl say voltages over 1.45-1.50 aren't good for Conroe even under good air cooling and can kill the CPU in a matter of short time if used 24/7.
Actually, I could use it at 3.4 Ghz - the CPU needs only 1.438V at that speed, but the best performance is achieved at FSB400, 1:1... That's why I was wondering if I should have gone down a little with OC and Vcore to avoid any risc.

If you want them to die i can think of a number of ways thats a whole lot quicker :D

U don't need to install AIsuite. Just insert asus install cd and it will find the driver.

Find me one conroe that has died at 1.5-1.7v from voltage, just try.

I couldn’t agree with you more.
Intel designed this processor to shut down at about 85C.
The last thing they want to do is warranty their product.
:D

Well, I don't have any evidence of it so far :) the chip has been used only for several months. it's only theoretical and I just wanted to be sure about whether I'm right or wrong. Anyway, thanx for easing me of my worry. :)

Awesome, thanks for this info.

Would be great to add a P4B-E guide as well. I know the BIOS setting are going to be the same but mods and a few other details may be specific to this board vs P5B-DX's
