What about the current prozessor voltage in the bios? Is 1.325volts always standing also when I go on 1.4vcore voltage?
Also on Intel orig. tools worked not probably. Intel Control Center freezes, Intel Desktop Center didnīt start with my board. "initialitation failure" "rofl"
Also in Everest he is not showing all voltage infos only CPU core when I click on sensors. In my mind I Think on the first start of everest it was all shown and after cmos clear even not! "strange"
helping were welcome^^
Ps: When the windows run in IDLE now the temp is 30-31 after stress test it goas to 68 and than when I stop the test about 3hours the IDLE temp is about 40-42!
anybody knows if C1E under the maintenance bios menu should be enabled or disabled?
With the Normal P5B does the Bios give the option for Southbridge Configuration with the latest Bios?, problems with a Modem/Fax not showing up and a Netgear wireless adapter playing up on win 64 due to win 64 Drivers but maybe the Southbridge controller not showing up?
Should the option for Sothbridge be in the latest Bios, if so what can cause the SB from not being recognized?

My 24/7 OC until my water comes. 1.5V bios. This chip rocks :D

And a 32m @ 3600
http://sean.nickfire.com/core2redux/3600-3334-32m.JPG
25 seconds better than my 4-4-4 run on 965 and I'm a little less tweaked and max mem won't work. Stupid matrix raid, I have my main os on raid 0 and then my bench os on raid 1 and the boot loader didn't install. Now to pick my OS I need to put raid 0 or 1 first in HDD boot order. Bit of a pain but oh well. When I set max mem it won't apply though and it's pissing me off, losing valuable 32m time!
After flashing back to 2333 BIOS this Intel setup has been a much more pleasant experience than my 6600/p5b combo. Great board!
Did you get the latest beta version from the everest forums? It should show the info.Quote:

Speedfan doesn't work with the aSC7621 monitor chip on these boards. I've tried to contact Alfredo about this several times but he's not answering. I'll keep trying.
thx I will look in the forum yet.^^
The temp prob is always there. I will look tomorrow for a better thermal grease.
For 340FSB the IDLE is now at 40-42° and under full load it raise to 68!!
I think for this Thermltake Tower I have with 5fan and a HSF from scythe samurai it is to high!
vcore default:for 340FSB is 1.188 - ram is on 667@425MHZ 4-4-4-2:)

I understand that but I was talking about the other information on the table like the memory ratios for each strap and memory speeds. I want to know which Mem. freq and Ref. freq. will give me 1/1 ratios on different cpu frequencies like 3.4,3.5,3.6 since it changes as you move your FSB up or down.Quote:

Highest OC so far. Its a B chip so it runs pretty hot. It is not Stable but enough for SuperPI. I would like to 3D bench at that speed, maybe raising vfsb ? I am currently pushing the limmits of that 1066strap. Tried to boot at 460mhz x9 for beauty shot with 1066 and OS corrupted.
Right now im at 3800 24/7 stable, im am currently running 3850mhz and will try orthos stable, 1.465v is pretty much the max i can have for Orthos, Loads at 69coretemp and 73c IDU.
http://www.oliviercouture.com/PC/Ben...table_3800.JPG
AFI: Wow 82c load in coretemp, you make me look like a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: to be afraid to go over 1.465v because of my 69c load. Is there a reason why you are confortable with 82c load ?
Great chip there shogo :) Better than mine. I'm fine with 82c loaded because I'm almost positive it's wrong. There's no way a CPU can run fully loaded at 82C for 2 and a half hours when the heatpipes on my typhoon are not even warm.
hehe, that would leave me with a very queasy feeling in my gut everytime i started my computer:DQuote:

Double post here :P
But thank you. Yes its a great chip. I think coretemp is still right but because it takes temp directly from the on die diode, the real temp that we are used to see is lower than that, thats maybe why the heatpipes arent really hot. My previous 4400 X2 was loading at 55c and the heatpipes were really at 55c, pretty warm to the touch. but maybe the temp on die was something like 85c.... who knows..
But then again 4ghz is cool but not cool if i cant 3D bench with it. I would like to break 11k in 3dmark 06 with my GX2. Im at 10554... 450 mark needed, i dont think 200mhz more can give me 500 mark but ill be closer. More fvsb is needed maybe but i dont know where to stop.... and also Supertim0r is harassing me to put 2.6vdim for some 3-3-3-8 action i feel like im gonna kill something today. OS corrupted at 4140mhz :(
I ran my 5300 ballistix at 2.8v for maybe 10 hours and they're fine, you could give 2.6 a shot without worrying.
My real temp is about 55c when gaming since orthos is dual load AND orthos pushes temps about 10c higher than dual 32m.
hey AFI, what vcore are you giving to your chip @ 3.75 ?
1.5v ;)
3.75 max ?
Haven't tested higher, maybe 3800 stable with 1.5 :) I'll try more over night.
Upped vfsb to 1.5, vmch still to 1.7, vcore to 1.6, all air, Now its Aquamark Benchable
http://www.oliviercouture.com/PC/Benches/AM3_4ghz.JPG
Pretty stable, no random reboot, but idles at 50c so it may load over 85 so thermal throttling kicked in during 3dmark cpu test1 ... Maybe time for balcony benching..
Now went back to my sweetspot (3800mhz, and trying to make 3860mhz 24/7 stable)
http://www.oliviercouture.com/PC/Ben...in_3860mhz.JPG
Im now at 2h 20min and still loading. Could be enough to call it stable but maybe not 8h stable...
After that it would be the time to play with memory. im keeping 1:1 for now but maybe 4:5 (1070mhz) is doable with 4-4-4-10 2.35v for everyday use.....
Thanks for the info on the revision changes.
For anyone who needs the latest everest grab it here.

I think I corrupted my OS on stock. Woo woo for me.
Anyone have a list of their "ideal" safe voltages for any increases?
Why everybody want to mess with everest? Coretemp and IDU are doing the same thing and doesnt mess your board eheh.Quote:

If you do f@h and other stuff that loads both core 100% for a long period of time, maybe 65c max in coretemp is more appropriate.
It also depends on your cpu stepping. My L631B is really more hot than other Cpu for same voltage but can do more with same voltage too... Thats why i wont tell you : max vcore is 1.45v .... Max vcore would be the max it can while having good temps 100% load...
Even with good temps won't having a high voltage going through it be able to damage the circuitry?
I guess people want to mess with everest to get a "second opinion" and it is easier if it is all in a single package.
My board is stable @ 3.4ghz @ 1.47x vcore @ 377fsb w/ load temps maxing @ 57c.
Ill try some other timing, but I think my ram is holding me back.
People with Phase that runs 24/7 can run 1.65 - 1.7vcore... I dont know maybe youre right about vcore is bad for the pcb or something but how bad could it be?Quote:

Temp does have a lot to do with it, but you also have to worry about the current that you are causing as well. You may be able to dissipate all the heat in the world if you have phase but your transistors are also taking care all the energy that the current is creating by switching on and off. This is the point where you get in to the realm where maybey you won't fry your chip by melting connections, but you are fusing transistors through current load. It takes a bit longer to notice but it's killing things as well.Quote:

So we see the P5B DX to XBX2, now how about Commando - XBX2 if you were running a X3060 with highend DDR2? and only wanna run about 400x9 DDR1000-1100 what board would do it better, and be stable?
I'm having a hard time deiciding, ive abandoned hope of the RD600 so now its come down between the new 965 board, or a 975X board :rolleyes:
Could someone summarise 2333 vs 2395? Timings are better but are people hitting fsb walls quicker?
2395 would randomly not post and force me to boot in configuration mode and set everything back, even at 100% stable settings. 2333 has been flawless. 440 on 1066 strap. I'll try for 450 again with 1.5vfsb tomorrow instead of 1.425 but I think I need a fan directly over chipset HSF and vmch mod.
I suggest a 50mm fan over the NB heatsink with some long screws. Worked great for me.
I'll change today and see if I can go any higher than 3.9 on my QX6700 :D

On a side issue I am having a BS time with getting my board stable even at stock. I can't tell if it is a board, biod, ram, OS, or what issue. I get Blue screens of death after a few minutes of anything intensive, be it gaming, rars, stress testing etc. All programs report my temps at mid to high 30's and low to mid 40's the air coming out of the case isn't hot. The BSODs have come from ntkrpamp.exe, klif.sys, tcpip.sys, memory corruption, one from bit defender, one from zone alarm, 2 from 2 different ati dlls. I can't remember the rest right now but anyone have an opinion on this?
well it sounds like maybe you have a bad ram or something. I would try to do some memtesting and see if it reports errors at stock... put maximum voltage ram is rated for and if it doesnt pass memtest, try each stick individually.
some data about my Bad Axe 2 FSB.
Max FSB on unmodded mobo was up to 470MHz (E6300ES)
This is with default cooling+ 80mm vent@2000rpm, and of course
I've changed thermal pad to AS5 :)
After Vmch mod with same cooling 3D stable:
1,75V Vmch- 450MHz
1,85V Vmch- 470MHz
1,90V Vmch- 480MHz
2,05V Vmch- 490MHz- screen:
http://www.oc.pri.ee/BadAxe/BX2/i975@490MHz.png
I'm choose to stop for now- 2V for aircooled chipset is enough I think :)
For 500+ FSB I have to choose something cooler- ln2 for instance :D
PS. With QX6700ES max FSB was only 390MHz :(
does this board support a total of 8 SATA drives? (i.e. can i plug an internal drive into the red connector?)Quote:

Sorry if I missed this but I can't find anyone posting about VRM temps in this thread.
Anyone have any temps on the board that are watercooling? Is it even a factor?
Got a few more BSODs
I ran a set of quick memtests.
super talent ddr2 800 at 4-4-3-8
on the default settings it ran fine for one round.
one the 10th test it ran fine with nothing for one round.
With all bios selected I let it run for 2 tests and was up past 1 million errors so I stopped it. I am not sure what testing is best to find out if my ram is crap but I will run a long run of standard and see.
Is this saying the bios is bad for super talent? I hope there isn't a bad factor between the board and the ram.
I tried to put a fan on my NB but I have a Tuniq Tower HS and it doesnt leave enough room. :(Quote:

it has been said over and over cpu speed is key not the ram latencies
As soon as I find a Commando, ill buy and compare :)
I had my Infinity facing so the wide side was facing the PSU, not the exhaust, so it didn't partially cover the NB.Quote:

Ran memtest overnight and it ran with no errors. Orthos at 6 hours also ran fine. Maybe you got some bad sticks or are overclocking too much which in turn is bumping your mem speeds up and it can't handle it?

I had one and unless you plan on running sub zero on a 3060, don't get it. Overall the board just didn't work well for me. BAD vdroop. Plus xbx2 is faster since it's 975.Quote:

But after trying to use the PC with anything but orthos I got a BSOD and instant restart. Upon memtesting I saw that, even with tame timings, the RAM was failing miserably, giving errors all over the place.
Is this bad RAM, or a peculiar OC wall I'm experiencing?
Here's what I have going on right now, memtest, orthos, and general-tested stable.

Still not prog to overclock in Windows ?
guys I saw at Anandtech..someone is having big problems install winxp pro off a NONRAID SATA HDD
can you not just attach a nice 320 gb Seagate drive to say the intel or marvel SATA ports..boot and load and install winxp...do you really need a floppy to get sometime of driver???
If you connect a drive to the Intel controller and set it to IDE in the BIOS (as opposed to AHCI or RAID) then you're OK. otherwise you need the diskettes and you have to press F6 during the initial install.Quote:

AHCI supports things like Hot Swapping, NCQ (Native Command Queueing) and other pretty trivial things. You'd only see a very, very slight performance gain in AHCI mode using a WD Raptor 16mb cache, for example, as opposed to not running AHCI.Quote:

I upgraded to 2395, and system became very unstable even would not post sometime. Then after messing with the board for some time, I tried to load setup defaults then save settings and exit. After that I config the everything again and now the system is very stable.
So for those after upgrading to BIOS 2395 and system become unstable, try to load setup defaults in BIOS and start all over again. At least it works for me.
Similar things happend to me. It did not boot up with the same bios settings carried over from 2333. I had to use the jumber to enter the bios. I did the set up and reboot several times.:stick: It then worked with the exact settings as it had before. :)Quote:

e6600, supertalent ddr2800 4-4-3-8, winxp home 32 bit, corsair hx620, BX2, x-fi gamerxtreme, sapphire radeon x1900gt, 2 7200.10 320 seagate HDs, lite-on sata 16x dvd/rw drive, running a scythe infinity on it and all temps programs refer to it being mid to high 30's and low to mid 40's.
My board is not overclocked at all, I was having these bsods on both the 2333 bios and the 2395 bios. The ram timings at both 5-5-5-15 and 4-4-3-8, set them to their supposed voltage of 2.2v, put on power slope, shut off eist, stopped the raid and firewire, I don't see this C1E people talk about or a maintenance part of bios.
I ran memtest+ for 11 hours on default settings in memtest and it went through 24 passes 0 errors. If I run the bios all instead of STD then I get millions of errors, if I run probe I sometimes get my system to reboot itself and the screen not to be picked up by the system.
Glad to hear you got it all working now:DQuote:

and again, intel tightened a lot of the timings on both the 800 and 1066 strap from 2333 --> 2395. This ends up with better performance on those straps, but with lower FSB max on each. I had looked at it before I switched to 2395. I think I'm getting better stability at higher CPU speed on 2395 with the 800 strap so I've still been playing with that, but hopefully I'll have some good #'s to show this weekend.
Never said I got it working, still BSODing and such, I ran orthos for about 10 minutes on CPU priority 10 and all went well, ran the ram test and I get errors on both parts within 3 seconds to 4 minutes. Haven't tried blend yet but I am guessing errors. I am still lost on what to do.
guys, i read that to disable c1e, i need to move the jumper to maintenance mode?
can someone please explain it for me, i'm quite blur about this..
I just did it myself so the quick explanation is you grab the small yellow jumper down and to the right of your ram (atx) which you use to fix a bad bios change and you move it down a pin, you reboot and enter bios, change what you want, save, shut off computer, move the jumper back to original area and you are done.
thx for the short but useful tip Teratism :)
Ok well I ordered my pc to build and should have the rest tomorrow. Any advice before sitting down to build with this board?
Don't worry about the 1x4 connector near the CPU area, that is for extra power to a secondary graphics card and not needed to power the board.
can anyone tell me what is max fsb for 1066strap with the new bios? im on 2333 and i run at 430x9 for everyday use and 445 for benching. Will it still allow to do 445 on 1066 ? a performance boost would be nice at 430x9... How much performance would it be in superpi or 3dmark 06...
ill maybe try it myself, im a bit scared to update to new bios because system runs fine on 2333...

You cannot get you system stable if you could not pass memtest.
The thing is I thought it did pass memtest86+. It did 24 passes with 0 errors on bios STD. It was set at ddr2 800 4-4-3-8 (2 gigs) with 2.2 volts per the makers instruction. So I shouldn't be testing on bios std and should only test on bios-all? If that is the case I get millions of errors.
