I bought MotherBoard that X48 got on and five pieces were bought.
The goodness was Evolution.

0501 is tested tonight.

Board flashed and up and running again. No visible differences in BIOS that I can see but have to admit that I have only glanced through it after flashing. Started some OC'ing to see if 0501 BIOS is more FSB friendly for my Quad but initial findings seems to indicate less clockability. Will experiment more lately and try some more Volts. Please prove me wrong... :)

After some more testing it seems that there is nothing wrong with BIOS 0501 as compared to 0401, which I found very stabile. It also seems that at least SuperPI is benchable on higher MHz with 0501 than 0401 as I now managed to run 1 Mill. at 4,909,5 and also managed to CPU-Z verify at a higher frequency as well (4.983MHz). All runs on my 24/7 machine with a :banana::banana::banana::banana: loads of processes running in the background and with no tweaking of disk or Vista Ultimate what so ever.

Some my results with E7200 on max FSB tried so this mobo it's very very impressive for FSB :up:

:D Very nice - plz can You post some settings for the 2:3 divider.

Me and many others can only run 1:1 & 1:2 divider with this board, so I wonder what's the trick ?:confused:

Thanks !!!:up:

These are my settings with the 0115

For later bioses you must NOT set the fsb strap to Auto.
With these settings i can use the 2/3 and the 5/8 dividers(1744 - 1857)

hi :)
I have some problems with 4GB@1800 1T for spi 32 mb :yepp:
the ram don't like this frequency :mad:
I have tried with c8 and high voltage but win give me BSOD whit this test :D

4GB@1600 T1 done :up:

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/5...piadivduw9.jpg

Setting:
FSB Strap-auto
vfsb-1,28
vnb-1,39
vdram-1,88 in bios

I need a 4GB Overclocking Kit:yepp:

P.S.
I use blue slot

Up and running :) My first DDR3 board so a lot of work to be done. Started testing mem vdimm 1.96v bios. What you guys use to read vdimm in windows?

:(Nothing - sadly this board has no sensor type to show Vdimm - so You are not able to read it in WINDOWS.

Only chance is "learning by doing"..................;)

# Sav,
My experiences with my 2x2GB Corsair memory (1800 Dominator, see sig) with respect to running them at DDR1800 are:
1) It is mandatory to use the BLACK slots.
2) Use the 333 FSB strap to NB.
3) I advice to use Memtest 86+ v. 2.01 to test when tweaking for the right settings - errors will come fast (especially test 5) and you have a good idea what is causing the errors.
4) 1N is possible.
5) You need 1.5+ NB voltage (and I suggest active or watercooling on NB).

I have spent a LOT of time (and godwill from xt0m, thanks) trying to run DDR1800 stable. I wasted a lot of time Priming (e.g. 7 h stable blend test that suddenly would give an BSOD at ordinary use) at settings that made errors within few minutes in Memtest. Therefore I will not yet brag about beeing stable at that speed. However, now I have found settings at 9x450, DDR1800 cabable of completing at least 2 full passes. Tomorrow I will tell if it is truely stable in Memtest and then I will Prime to see whether the settings are stable in Windows when the CPU is loaded as well.

I'm sure you can't wait until tomorrow to se my settings so here they are (even though I can not claim they are truely stable yet or the voltages can not be lowered):

BIOS 0501
Multi: 9
FSB strap: 333
FSB: 450
PCIE: 100
DRAM: 1800
CMD: 1N

Primary timings: 8-8-8-25, the rest Auto
2nd and 3rd timings: All Auto
Dynamic and static read/write control: both Disable

CPU: 1.4625
CPU GTL: 0.65
PLL: 1.5
FSB TV: 1.4
NB: 1.55
NB GTL: 0.61
SB: Auto
C O-C V: Auto
LLC: Performance

Hope this will help you and others struggeling with 2x2GB memory.

****UPDATE: The above settings are Memtest 86+ v. 2.01 stable for 8 h+ (18 full passes) so at least the memory is stable. Priming at the moment with the same settings.****

Thanks. Whats measure point for vdimm or does someone has an idea already how much it over/undervolts vdimm ??

:D Vdimm over/undervolt differs from board to board - best measure point is in a free ramslot itself.....................;)

Mine was playing up today on bios 501. Max fsb on my E8500 on multi 7 = 580fsb. Wouldnt boot 400fsbx9.5 :confused:
Going to try my Kingston sticks over the weekend. Think the bios still need a few updates

DRAM: 1800
CMD: 1N

Primary timings: 8-8-8-25, the rest Auto

I switched to Bios 0115 and I can run any divider I've tried. It made the board come alive for me.:up:

thank you OverClocker_gr :D

you re welcome :)

the 0115 have an issue with the 1/2.
be aware from this divider :p
