@JimmyZ.....How was you're McDonalds adventure:p:
Yeah I always figured that those pins on the motherboard were for RPM detection.
Anyhow I've got two small fans over the PWM area, what's cool is that because the PWM and NB are heatpiped, just cooling the PWM has cooled the NB as well :D
Prime blend has been going for about 10 minutes so far and temps are 49C on the PWM and 57C on the chipset, that's 7C for the PWM and 8C for the NB. I have a spare 120mm at a friends house that I'll throw on later, so far both are under 60C :)

Told her I felt like staying home, and she came here and we ordered Pizza.:rofl: :ROTF: crazy thing is when she saw my pc she flipped out!! she used to work for some speciality company soldering smd's on miniature boards. she is a master solderer! when I showed her my volt mod on an old p5b deluxe, she said she could do mods like that no problem!! she soldered 8 hrs a day for a couple of years! needless to say Friday we are going to Red lobster. hell I may even pay!Quote:

back on topic:
One word of advice on the fan plugs, do not plug in while the board is on! I was gaming one day and decided to put a 120mm pointing at my n/b and video card and the board re-booted. scared the crap out of me. i used to hot swap fans when necessary but never had a board shut down from it.

Has anyone found a waterblock for the mosfets yet? I know that nhenhophach was working on one, but have not heard from him.
Cheers!
I have not but then again I am not in the know because I don't water cool:(
you guy wanting to move up to the X-38 check this thread.http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=165480
so im orthosing at 425x8 1.4v 3.3ghz 333/667 for 1:1, 1.5v NB, 1.55 VTT GTL @ 106/105/112.
lets see if it'll last through the night... wish me luck (been orthosing for 15 min so far lol)
dumb stock cooling haha
Heres what you need for 3400mhz X8 Multi 425 FSB 333/667 CPU VTT = 1.35v NBV = 1.45v
GTL 1/3 = 94 GTL 0/2 = 94 NBV GTL = 100
CPU Vcore and Ram Vdimm will vary from situation to situation but the specs I just gave you works @3400mhz 333/667 for Quad Core so I know for sure you are throwing way too much voltage to board voltage!

Anyone running 266/667 strap with 4GB of ram highly clocked successfully or is the 333/800 better recommended for that?
tried to push mine past 3.6, i went straight to 4ghz (8*500), it'll post but wont load windows, had volts upto 1.63. backed it off to 3.8 (9 multi) still no good, so i went to 8 multi and 475, booted windows, but no matter that glt's and volts i set just isnt stable, i might order a GO next week.

orthos failed at 5 hours on my settings. i think the chipset and pwm temps were too high.Quote:

I'm still confused about J16 jumper. What is it for? That jumper is near the Lanparty text/logo, close to the cpu fan header.
Ha. Orthosing. Cool word.
I'm also curious to hear input from other 4gb users. I'm using 2x2gb G.Skill 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1V. I just got this board today and am working on the OC. Just curious to hear input from others as well.Quote:

With four 1gb crucial ballistix the highest clock I was able to get stable was 1112mhz 5-5-5-12 (these sticks do 1250 5-5-5-12 on warrantied voltages in 2 stick config). Seems this board only plays nice with 4x double sided modules if you do a lot of fine tuning.Quote:

There's a lot of talk about that Gskill kit you're using in the Xtreme Bandwidth part of the forums. Lots of people seem to be getting good result on low voltages. Great clocks for a non-Micron based kit :up:
That reminds me Thank you again for the chip Brother, you saved my sanity, I will never be without a back-up again.:up:Quote:

Well my board is shipping right now and am seriously thinking about getting a BIOS chip from Esau :) PM BTW ;)
But to get a cleared idea of how to reflash a bad BIOS chip, do you just do a hotswap/reprogram to retore it?
Anyway, I cannot wait to get back to some DFI OCing. I am actually quite excited!!
basically. read up on it first, get a dos boot disk etc. and realize you are doing something risky. not to difficult though.Quote:
