Ok-ok, i got it.
Lets see if i can boot with 500 fsb and rams at 1000.
Look what i got today with P04 :D.

I had 585, but corrupted :(.

Everest at 550 FSB.

And some max PI 1M`s at 560 and 566 FSB :).

With new bioses and with every time, when i use the board i start to love it :D.
The HW is SUPER, just the bioses are wrong, but with time they will come out, i`m sure :).
I cant use 1:4 266 333 or 400 even with 500 FSB :(.
So i cant test 500 FSB with rams at 2000, but i will try more settings.
Congrats Foxconn :).

o thats very ipresive M3kk i wish i could try too but my ram dont work , wrong spd and i have to find a new pare boot change voltages and flash the spd so my cellshock will finaly work :D
Also how many v on the ram?
What this about flashing Cellshock memory. Can anyone elaborate?
the spd is like a memory which says to the mobo what ram are you those which volt to put to bootup etc. because i bought by cellshock once they went out they have old spd and they dont boot properly so i have to "update" it so the mobo will correctly understand the ram :)
Hi all!
I recently exchanged my Asus Striker II Extreme (which you can read all about why on the overclockers forums) but now I'm having issues getting ANY overclocking done with this board! Firstly, the bios seems to be undervolting my memory to 1.6v, when my memory runs at 1.85v. This doesnt cause a problem for boot up and windows loading, but when I try to up the voltage (to the right voltage) and overclock I only get to a windows blue screen, or checksum error, or if I'm REALLY lucky loads of beeping with "checksum error, no keyboard" and then the good ole' reboot or just a blank screen with extreme beeping.
I have tried all the settings I can find with the some help with the really nice folk at overclockers.com, but nothing is working! I have even tried going into the red "danger" settings for voltage of NB, SB, memory (even though the red it actually normal voltage for my RAM) @ 400fsb 1:4 333 divider.
Please look at my sig for the complete spec of my PC. The settings I have tried are as follows: -
*where I say "AND" I mean I have tried both and/or all ways listed and not at the same time, obviously:)
400fsb
1:4 333
CPU voltage @ 1.5 AND 1.6
NB @ 1.5 and stock
SB @ 1.6 and stock
Memory voltage @ 1.84 and 2.0v AND stock (which was way under at around 1.6v)
PL7
I have even tried it at 333 where I get to post, but then I either get a windows corrupt error with "please put windows disc in for repair" or a stall at the first screen. I'm kinda out of idea's atm and I dont know what I can do:( All the usual things are disabled, like speedstep etc!
Any advice would be VERY helpful! I would also be very interested if someone has managed to O/C with this motherboard who has the same memory and/or CPU.
Thanks in advance and sorry if I have stolen the thread!

after purchasing some cellshock pc3-1866 2 x 1gb blue modules and updating the bios to p04 and setting the settings from anandtechs preview article in the bios and also the clock skew settings to +300, i can now complete post and boot in to windows at 8.5 x 500 but am not stable
i get an intermittent bsod of error stop 0x0000007 and super-pi crashes
i have ran memtest+ 2.01 and it passes all 8 tests once but on the second pass it fails on test 4
also in the bios i have set 8 as the cpu multipler but during the post and in
everest and cpu-z it shows up as 8.5
has anyone any ideas where i go from here
i will post bios settings tomorrow as it is quite late and i have work tomorrow
thanks

Try loosening the memory timings a bit. The guide when I posted are pretty tight. Also if the memory is being undervolted by what is set in the bios go up to the next option.
will u try this:Quote:

and take a look at the settings used here:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=190667
The CellShocks arrived, so I proceeded to installing them in place of the OCZ3P18002GK kit that I was using. Just did a quick 400FSB, all auto but the 7-7-7-20-1T timings and 1.8xv [to test the issue where it would lock up if you provided more than the default value], and like a rocket this thing got all the way into Windows. I did a quick 4M SuperPI to test and it did it without a hitch. I'm still trying to find the sweet spot on this thing, but I'm afraid my Q9450 is not welcomed on this board, it used to do 450+FSB on the P5E3 Premium before and now it can't even get to 450FSB. I might do an even trade with a co-worker for his brand new E8500.
PS: Anyone know if this board undervolts regular Quads? Even with the droop compensation enabled, and the vCore set to 1.3625v, CPU-Z shows the current voltage at 0.91xx.
CPU-Z is reporting wrong. Its a known issue. 450FSB takes some time to tweak to get it there.
I wasn't really OC'ing, I was trying to locate the max FSB. With the RAm set to relaxed timings and a 1:2 ratio, it should be able to get passed 450FSB. If I remember correctly I believe I've done it on this board as well before.Quote:

Update: I only had 10 mins to try Prime95 (4.50am here in UK!) but it all looked good... now if only I can get 24/7 results:)
I am also not happy with my 3DMARK score. With my Striker II Extreme at 3.6GHz and 1600MHz RAM (when it ran steady - only one test then wham CRASH) I managed a score of almost 15k, but with this board I am only getting 12k. Maybe I need to defrag my HD and try XP. My 12k score with this board is under Vista, whereas my 15k score was under XP. Would XP make THAT much difference?

Bravo, Foxconn! With G25 I can run it perfectly stable 24-7 at 430 MHz FSB@4.3GHz QX9650 (WC) and the same Vcore 1.465V as with G22 at 4.2Ghz! CPU temp under full 4 core load is below 61C (spikes), it is fluctuating between 54C and 59C, and all my voltages are in pretty safe area!
It looks that the hardware is definitely perfect (except of those discussed minor issues), we just need some good BIOS, and G25 is definitely a good try ... keep it going! Now I am almost happy ... and no way I would return this board ... 790i " nervously smokes" ... Don't also forget about the HUGE difference in RAID transfer rates ... Thanks guys!
(I took my words about "over-stabilized" back, it was with G22, it is not anymore with G25!)
1-hour 100% 4-core load Everest Lavalys Ultimate stress test is attached (more or less similar to Prime95 though with temps graphs). "Motherboard" is actually a NB temp reading (modified air cooling). My Noctua P12 were in 1200RPM mode during the test, not in normal 900 RPM ULNA mode. Memory temp was below 32C during the test (aircooled, stock Dominator cooler @3000RPM).
Yep, I have noticed a huge difference for 3dmark06 as well.Quote:

any commends from the pros?:D
It seems that alot of my problems were BIOS related and not hardware related.
I think I have changed my mind and will keep this MB.
Please keep the updates coming and also I would agree with someone who said before that the board should default to 2T not 1T (but obviously still have the option to select 1T later.)
Thank you :)

I love it, it seems like it jsut keeps gettign better, i hope in 3 weeks when i
start my foxcon build that it will be even better..
:woot:
Kinda following Intel's Memory Sizing codes on this... did you find higher Memory speeds with 2T? I didn't seem to get anymore with 2T.Quote:

That's it, may be it is not uber, but it finally beats my old 780i and in two tests beats 8x Xeon E5462, which it not bad I guess for 24-7 operations, good silence / good temps /pretty safe voltages.
