@Gullo92

I'm sorry that I can't help right now becuase my Q9650 just went dead. I think you should try 450 FSB and see if it's stable first, then go up for 475, use relax timing for ram like 8-8-8-24, Transection booster @ 9, and do some more testing like Intel Burn Test and see if you can get the same result in every test. It would take time but just be patient.

Looks to me liks HZ series. Good stick:up:
You can try your luck @7-6-5-18 1T 2000Mhz at around 2.1v and see if it can pass 32M PI:yepp:

Important Note:
If you guys are aiming for a high CPU Clock testing like 4.5Ghz DO NOT USE BIOS 1003. :mad:
At first I thought my E8500 has degraded but it wasn't. With 1.35v I can pass 10 loop IBT @600x7.5 without a single problem. But with 1003 BIOS no matter how hard I tweak still a no-go although an increase of vCore might help a bit.

ci2kla, check the vDroop on 1001/1003 - it's almost double earlier BIOS (with LLC off). LLC on seemed ok so it might not be same problem..

btw, i found 1001 is quite nice for clocking D9JNL @ CL8.. not sure how useful that is though ;)

I had the same problem with 1003. Anything over 4.0 Ghz and was not stable, went back to 503 and no problems so far @ 4.3Ghz.

I am using G.Skill and will try those settings 7-6-5-18 1T, we'll see how that goes :up:

I havent encountered much trouble with 1003 though.. its been the most stable for me afaik.

i beg to disagree :D you just have to find a sweet spot between NB volts and FSB Termination Voltage.. in this case NB was 1.82v and FSB Termination Voltage was 1.59v.. cpu voltage was 1.92 (i think.. lol i cant remember) swiching to 1001 bios got me 40 more mhz and allowed me to clock higher with 2 cores enable :rofl:

1003 seems good for me!!!

Hey guys, don't want to completely be a nay sayer but 1003 has been ok for me, both with an E8600 & very shortly with a QX9650. If anything, 801 was a real dog here.:( I had to go back to work but in the wee hours of the night before catching a plane early in the morning I slotted in the quad and quickly banged out a few 3D runs just for kicks. I'm sitting here offshore at work with just a few screen shots on my laptop but managed to take FSB up to 485 before having to shut it down, throw some clothes in the bag and go. Can't wait to get home and finish off the session!!:up: I believe I had LLC enabled.

im using 1003 and im running my E8600 @4.5 gigs @ 1.29 volts 24/7 stable I dont know dude I think certain hardware doesnt agree with 1003 but saying that I also up different voltages before touching my Vcore ive found upping the vcore from say 1.3 to 1.36 might get something stable or keep the vcore at 1.30 and up the nb two notches and the pll or vtt and with 1003 it is more picky with things like that

Would you like to help test a bit more using IBT? :)
That's what I will never achieve on BIOS 1003 even with 1.4vCore...attached SS...will post more on 1003 testing and see if you guys can get any clue of what's wrong:cool:

Just got this board, anyone has a template on settings to get 4.0 stable? Will be used for gaming only.

Bios settings needed

Hello to everyone and what a great bunch of techno wizards you all are.

I need help please as I recently got my hands on a pair of DDR3 Dominator TWIN3X2048-1800C7DF 2x1 Gig and would love to know what would the ideal CPU, RAM & NB Bios seetings be for the highest stable clock.
Matching the RAM is an E8600 and a BFG 8500 512 GTS. CPU, NB & GPU are all watercooled on a Zalman XT which sits under a window and gets me great low temps. Will take pictures and post soon.
Much obliged for any help

PS. Didnt get the chance to change my sig. Doing it now.

hi dctokyo :)

unless you want higher memory clocks / memory performance, these board settings for 4x1GB could be ok or as a starting point.

Only tested with 32-bit ;) and 0403 BIOS

nice to see you back buddy :)

hope to be testing same mems myself by this weekend :D unless version number is not for me...;)

Thank you cheapseats..:up:
I too will dedicate a bit of this weekend to testing the Dom C7D CL77720 RAM Ver3.1 & see how we compare.
What do you think about the 1003 Bios for high FSB?
I see you still are on the 0403 1001?

great ragheb, mine came this afternoon and are also v3.1 :) no chance to test yet but i can see big ICs under the heatspreaders....

only been using 1001 for CL8 on the cellshock kit, but i prefer 0403 for everything else.
will test corsair with 0403 first and see what happens.

_______________________

last push on timings with the JNL CS3222271:

back to 2x1GB and just scraped a single successful 32M run with 7-7-6-12 timings @ 900mhz.
tRCD and tRP are a real pain with JNL IC, and all timings as tight as possible for clocks.

for same clock in 32M, 7-7-6-12 gave a small (but pleasing) boost over 7-7-7-12, with 7-7-7-14 a touch slower again.
but only talking about 1-3 seconds difference at 4.5ghz :D

max clocks i got for this kit with 32M pass:

7-7-6-12 ___ 900mhz (1800mhz) @ 1.93V
7-7-7-12 ___ 950mhz (1900mhz) @ 1.98V
7-7-7-14 ___ 980mhz (1960mhz) @ 2.04V

0403 / vNB 1.51V set / vDIMM 1.93V set / maxmem 580 / no copy waza

I was getting good results with 503. I tried 1003 again tonight and failed IBT before 20 runs. I loaded 1001 and using the same settings passed 15 runs of IBT. I think I am going to stay with 1001 and mess around with 1003 this weekend when I have a bit more time to tweak the nb, pll a notch or two. Mebbe it is just picky with this board.

i'm at 495fsb with a q9650 but i just can't get the last 5mhz. every time i do, the system locks up and freezes everything. even pressing the reset button will take about 3-5 seconds before it actually restarts. what is causing this type of freeze instability? i'm suspecting it's my memory. i'm writing down my settings right now and i'll post it in a bit

edit: here's my bios settings that i tuned myself:

Code:

Try upping CPU clock skew to 300ps and see if it improves.

OK Time for more.
I'll post my settings now with E8500 dual core to achieve 600x7.5 IBT 10 loop stable.

Processor: E8500
OC From Memory Level Up: Auto
Ai Overclock Tuner: Manual
FSB Frequency: 600
Ratio CMOS Setting: 7.5
CPU Clock Skew: -400ps
NB Clock Skew: -200ps
FSB Strap to North Bridge: 266 MHz
DRAM Frequency: 1805 MHz

DRAM Timing Control: Manual
1st Information: 7-6-5-18 tRFC 72 (all other subtimings on auto)

DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled
DRAM Dynamic Write Control: Disabled
Ai Clock Twister: Auto
Ai Transaction Booster: tRD = 8

EPU II Phase Control: Auto

PCIE Frequency: 103

CPU Voltage: 1.3625
Load-Line Calibration: Enabled
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.61
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.37841
North Bridge Voltage: 1.65
DRAM Voltage: 2.00131
South Bridge 1.5 Voltage: 1.61
South Bridge 1.1 Voltage: 1.08

DRAM Channel A CMD Skew: Advance 100ps
DRAM Channel B CMD Skew: Advance 50ps

CPU GTL Reference (0): AUTO
CPU GTL Reference (1): AUTO
CPU GTL Reference (2): AUTO
CPU GTL Reference (3): AUTO
NB GTL Reference: +20mV
DDR2 ChA Reference Voltage: Auto
DDR2 ChB Reference Voltage: +25mv
North Bridge DDR Reference: +25mv

CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled

Note: If you want to get 600FSB 4.5Ghz stable with 333 Strap you will need ot adjust CPU Skew to 300~400ps and NB skew to 100ps. At least these settings works for me.
