No, i didn't explain it good enough,Quote:

thanks Jor
it is the mch/dram ref. Mine is always half of the dram voltage and; yes, it "tracks" with the dram voltage setting, except in your templates you changed it a little, its not half. Was that accident or did you change it on purpose? And if so, did it help.
Just some discussion about MCH temps. I think most modern heatpipes should work w/o gravity, reason being is b/c I have a BTX case so the mobo is upside down. You think it may give me stability issues?
I just notice touching the MCH is hot compared to the mosfet
I've got to 3.4 ghz on 1 stick of ram. P95 and occt stable, haven't seen temps higher than 36C @16 ambient. Can't figured out the sceenshot or the bios template. I know to use Paint, but how do I get them in my post. I'm a definate noob with the whole overclocking game. My board is rev 1.1 and came with F6 bios, should I go to F7? Thanks in advance.

2.16 * 0.53 = 1.1448 i did round down tho (1.140v)
it seems to help
btw: whats Jor31BR's golden rule?

I got this board for my pc at my office, and i gotta say, this is one hell of a good board for $125, this is as good as some $300 boards i have purchased, im loving Gigabyte lately, keep up the good stuff!
coop,thanks.justlearnin,i use f4 because i had issues with f7,f8a and f6.the usb keyboard support is enabled by default on f4,and f5.but on f7,f8a they are off by default and they seem to have been moved to the bottom of the bios screen.also f8a didnt play well with ET6.
I am 70 passes IBT stable and >12h OCCT Mix stable with F5 so it's not RAM for me. F6 just seems to have trouble remembering and applying the right settings at boot sometimes. It looks as if it tries to boot with too low PL to me.Quote:

I'm planning on upgrading to an UD3 mobo. but don't know what to do with RAM? what do you recommend? I currently have 2xCrucial ballistix 1GB DDR2 PC2-8500 5-5-5-15.
should I go for 4x1GB, 2x2GB or 2x4GB, 4x2GB? is there any difference in performance?
many thanks

my set up is ud3p, qx9650 team xtreme 1066 5 5 5 15 2.2v
So, does this mean the Rev 1.0 boards are more stable (vCore stable)?Quote:

Nope. That doesn't mean nothing really. It can be related to 'n' factors.Quote:

Thanks for this, :clap: another link within Lsdmeasap's sig in that article helped clear up some fog for me regarding ET6 as well: http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/how-...asytune-29746/Quote:

I had to up it to 1.34v and vcore to the settings below. After 4hrs I shut it off to try lower vcore but to no avail. Re-doing now for a longer time with the settings below. At least maybe these ref. will help get you started. Others have posted alot of info that should be helpful too that have your same cpu.

I think you have the same bug that i have. When you set the VTT in bios to 1.32, when you load ET6 it shows only 1.3, isn`t? And if you restart and see in bios it will be 1.3 again...Quote:

@stingush, 675x7, that's awsome.
@xbuisx, bios F6. I never noticed that. I had to go back to the laboratory today as my numbers listed above let me down. I have to have MCH ref @ .763. Will be 4hrs in 30 min. from ......now.
FWIW, what made me able to run today was lowering my CPU Clock Drive to 700 in the Advanced Clock Control section.
@xbuisx and coop,my board does the same thing with vmch at 1.32 in bios then when you open ET6 it shows 1.30.when it first happened i thought i was crazy and just remembered what i actually put in the bios.well i resolved the issue by not using 1.32 vmch anymore.but i dont think it will hurt anything.
could anybody who has gotten a hold of gigabyte support(for board repair) please tell me how they did it.cause i for the life of me can only get the stupid post your question support page and when i check it just shows up as "your mail will be processed"(step 1).and its been a week now.
damn fine reading, thanks stasioQuote:

your mch ref and cpu ref will automatically change when you change the VTT. I know NOTHING about your particular cpu. But with my cpu and the ud3p this really seems to help out a LOT with getting stable, and it wont take but a minute to try, even if it dont work. My vtt seems to like to be just a little below Vcore.
I'll try it out. Priming atm, just past 6.5 hrs.
This really bites. I was hoping for 8hrs.

May try some other time.
