in vista you need to uninstall it to change it, its happen to me
how do you uninstall it?
right click on it
this any good ??
thanks. Dom7184 i think i got it now
i've got a question :D
What options are out there to lower the NB temps?
I wasn't really that happy with the nb temps before i started overclocking and now its hotter than i would like it to be.
any universal waterblocks fit? what about popping off the gigabyte "plate" to let more air flow?
Oh an why doesnt the board seem to have a nb temp sensor in HWmonitor or speedfan
I am getting the same thing with my EP45 UD3R + Q9400. In fact it has never failed prime in any other way besides a freeze. I needed to turn off the screen saver and leave prime maximized so i can at least see how long it runs. I am turning the monitors brightness down to the min. to lessen the effect of having it on so much. Its hard to imagine there isn't some tweaking that will let prime fail without a crash. We should share info so we can achieve the goal of having prime fail better :D
I currently have a very small overclock going and am playing with the ref voltage percentages for MCH and Cpu trying to find a sweet spot so i can ramp up the clocks faster.
You need a new version of Acronis.
You could change your sata to IDE mode, but I'm not sure if Windows would complain as they do the other way around.Quote:
is there any thing i can change in the bios to get it to work i have me first boot device as my hard drive
I had to go up one notch on the cpu ref and mch ref to get stable at 4.0ghz. My current voltages are - cpu term/vtt 1.20, cpu ref .785, mch ref .80, mch 1.280v. cpu 1.33125v mem on a 5:6 devider 333strap 240b 1130mhz., all other voltages set to normal, LLC disabled. Can get the same oc stable with LLC enabled at 1.256??v. Ran prime over night trying 4.05 ghz but kept an eye on it for the first 15 minutes or so. Got up this morning and it was still frozen at the "using FFT length 8K" which is the second test, around 7 hours later. I am able to see where it freezes even when setting the monitor to shut off after 20 minutes but man a simple PRIME FAILED or BSOD, even one that corrupted my install at this point would be a pleasant change. Have removed all heavy, or sharp object from my computer room to help preserve the life of this motherboard :mad:. I hope that a bios update "SOON" will help fix this problem. My P5KDeluxe never did this, prime failed or it passed or maybe a BSOD but never this.
Q9550@4250MHz@1.328 FFT 8K Passed :eek: in UD3P
Is there the possibility that this freezing could be related to gfx drivers? As a last resort I took the gtx280 out and put in cf 4850's in hopes it would pull similar voltages and rule out a psu voltage deficiency issue, running prime ATM at 4.1gh same voltages as before when it froze up. Still going strong after the "ftt length of 8k" which is the normal freeze up point. if it passes Ill know what the problem was i guess. I dunno
[QUOTE=Touche;3668275]You need a new version of Acronis.
what you mean new version i have version 11 its the latest i think
CPU Vcore: 1.35000V
CPU Termination: 1.36V
CPU PLL: Normal
CPU Reference: 0.861V
MCH Core:1.38V
MCH Reference: 0.821V
MCH/DRAM Reference: Normal
ICH I/O: 1.57V
ICH Core:1.2V
DRAM Voltage: 2.14V
DRAM Termination: Normal
MCH Latch: 333
RAM: standard
cooling: cold water :)) (proc temp on prime: 38-38-34-36°C)
I hope your not talking about the "system temp" that ET6 reports, as that is the southbridge temp. This board doesn't have a NB temp sensor. So your NB is getting hotter then you think
People with hot graphics cards notice higher "system temps" then people with cool video cards because of this.
speedeuphoria is 100% correct,system temp is indeed the SB temperature,ive tested it myself awhile back
Version 12 is the latest. Download the latest trial HERE and see if it works.
This is driving me crazy. As I said before I did 5 hrs Orthos Blend, and then would get random BSOD on bootup (I shut down every night and turn back on in morning). On suggestions from here I raised PLL from 1.50 to 1.57v, VTT from 1.26 to 1.28v, CPU ref from .760 to .785v (ET6). I then was able to run Orthos Blend for 8 hrs last night without issue. I shut down for the night and when I turned on this morning...BSOD. Any more tips would be grealy appreciated! Is this a CPU or RAM thing?

blustang,i agree with what new-b said. i had the same issue stable then bsod or three reboots(OC-failure screen).and it was because my performance level was too low for my vmch and vdimm,once i raised my vmch and vdimm all good or if i raised my PL to 9 that worked also.so try messing with those three things.start with vmch up one notch.thenif it still does it try vdimm.
