After I do a through run of Orthos overnight I'm going to try lowering it and vFSB some and seeing if I can't get it stable.
BTW. I'm using the newest version of Coretemp and I get same temps in Vista and XP doing a Orthos run. So I would say TAT is off in Vista. I haven't run TAT in Vista yet. I think Vista install is by far the easiest Windows install I've ever done to date. If it wasn't for the 8800 I wouldn't have had to install any drivers.
Their is an option in the BIOS I can't remember what the exact name is but it's like ASP or something. Like 2nd for the last tab on the right side. What is that for? I disabled it. Didn't seem to help with anything.
My E6600's Default VID is 1.225v. :)Quote:

See what happens.
So here's what i got:

They could at least have said that someones working on a fix for that, or tell me that they dont consider it a Bug since everyone should want to have C1E enabled and that i can go :banana::banana::banana::banana: myself.
Lets just wait for the next BIOS-release, IF there is going to be one :/
Edit: WTF did it id sanitize the F-word? Are the laws that strict in the US?

More than C1E bug, I want unlocked downward mults!!!
I have to admit that this has been the MOST MOST MOST stable C2D board I've own to date... but not being able to use 9x or 8x to test my mem and PUSH the FSB has been annoying. I've tried crystalcpuid but can't get that to work properly (yes, i've said this 3 times now in this post and i will repeat myself as necessary until intel releases a bios that gives me downward mults)
so i've decided to try another board :)
thanks ill try it
but right now after messing around .. now i cant even get into the bios .. i tried everything .. the pc just turns on and the screen never comes on .. ive tried everything
I've got a weird issue with my Bad Axe 2 board.
Upon post, I get normal post screen, can get into bios, change everything I like.
It's just that I can't get the board to boot any more, gets stuck at "BA" or EB" in the lower left corner and never gets past that any more.
I also tried changing bios through recovery mode : doesn't work. Board stays with same bios as well :? Seems to do the recovery from floppy, after that nothing... same bios still... Nothing wrong with cmos battery either : tried changing it, no difference.
Any ideas anyone ?
Even with the jumper in config mode???Quote:

Thanks for your very quick reply :toast:Quote:

I also removed my kvm switch, and about everything else as well, just 1 stick of memory now, cpu (E6700), PS2 keyboard and 1900XT : gets stuck at message "94" now (clearing keyboard buffer).
I'm just completely at a loss here at the moment ?? First time any bad axe gives up on me... The board just seems completely ok, just doesn't "move on" :(
PS : Jep, jumper in revocery mode : bios doesn't change...
It takes a while to do a bios recovery. If you have the .bio file on a diskette, insert it, remove the config jumper, and completely power cycle the box. It will boot at least 2 times on its own before the recovery is complete and eventually you'll see the messages about loading the firmware.Quote:

is that normal (not)?

I've got a stereo speaker configuration.
Firstly, I installed the sigmatel drivers but I had serious panning problems. I guess that the card was configured to something like 5.1 or 7.1.
I tried to select stereo speakers from with in control panel, but it didnt seem to affect/solve the panning problem.
So I installed the IAS version, set the card to stereo speaker (from within IAS) and voila, the panning problem disappeared.
Howerver, I hate IAS, in fact I hate all the applications that dont have an uninstall option.
Is there any other way to solve the panning problem and/or a way to properly uninstall IAS ?
I can do 500MHz 3-3-3-3 2,6V on 1333 strap (333 ref.freq.) :DQuote:

At full cpu load from TAT temp is (tat=83*c)(idcc=78*c)(coretemp=69*c)
Tried 400 fsb @ 1.6vcore this morning no post:mad: Will try for 375fsb next.
Very pleased with the results so far as performance increase from old pentium2 400mhz are phenominal. :banana:
Just recived my BX2.
I have one problem so far:
My waterblock (Swiftech G4 Storm) won`t fit on this board cause of the blue mosfetsinks on top. :slapass:
Maybe I should try air-cooling instead…
Has anyone tested a Scythe Ninja on the BX2?
:eek:Quote:

Don´t even know they were different blocks :rolleyes:
So this is a regular retail Storm?:
