The E6400 did 50MHz more lapped, but still, if set the voltage above 1,5v it doesn't help OCing.

Any suggestions?

How accurate is PC probe as i set my ram to auto and i looked in PC probe and it said my ram was running at 3.3v? The ram is PC2-6400 crucial ballistix.

My question is does any one know how to fix this??

I got a this problem also.
When I change my fsb it kind of flickers the screen.
It doesn't go crazy it's just different.
I was running the 614's when I installed my 8800gtx and noticed it.
Flashed to 804's, no change.
Also, when I boot up, I can only call it an extended drive read-out. Before it would read the sata's and optical drives then go to the JMicron, then to begin to boot Xp up. Now I get this..

All this wasn't there before..
Maybe the v.card bios has something to do with messing with the mb bios??

Normally, my voltages are manually set .

So, hereby, i confirm that x1 is REALLY a voltage setting problem (maybe a combination of voltages).
I am immediatly going to set my old voltages.

Do not set to auto, I repeat, do NOT set to AUTO

When I set my nb voltage to 1.65 I get the 1x problem. Re-set it 1.55 and rebooted and it was back to 16x.

ah interesting.

today was the first day i got the 1x problem. will try 1.55 on NB to see if it'll fix the problem.

I am having a huge problem right. Its finals week and my computer just died. I had my p5b-deluxe/wifi + e6660 running at 3.02 ghz 336x9 vcore = 1.3215 V in bios. All of a sudden, my system restarted randomly. So i set cpu clocks to stock. The random restarts kept occuring but i noticed that the time for the comp to restart gradually decreased to the point where my Windows system files were corrupt so i couldn't even get into windows. I used Sea tools to scan my 7200.10 harddrive since i thought it was fried and found tons of bad sectors.

I just received a new wd3200ks sataII drive yesterday and attempted to install windows. I tried three different windows xp disks and none could complete install. One error that I keep getting is "error 32768 at line 5897 in d:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\setup.c" Another reoccuring error is that it fails to copy system files to the hd once I complete the format.

I tried clearing CMOS ram and installing a new bios but that didnt' work. I have a feeling something may be wrong with the mobo. Is it possible my cpu could have blown? I also tried each individual stick of ram by itself to no avail

My system specs
Asus p5b deluxe wifi
Core 2 Duo e6600
Seagate 7200.10 SATAII 320 gb
Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800Mhz PC6400
eVGA 7900 GS
Seasonic s12-500

"nope"?
Did it work?

vhx1- can you check your voltages from the ps with a dmm?

don't have a dmm at home but is there a guide as to how to check the voltages with a dmm

The way I do it is;
With the ps off and all plugs un-plugged. Or out of the case.
Make a jumper wire, thin enough to put into the holes of the 20/24 pin mb power plug.
Stick one end into the green wire hole, the other into one of the black ones. This will power up the ps when you turn it on.
Black lead of dmm to one of the black wired holes. The red lead goes to the following, one at a time. The red wire hole is the 5 volt, the yellow is the 12 volt, and the orange is the 3.3 volt rail.
This way seems to work for me.
The guides in the above link work for when you need to check under load/idles.
This way you can check before you install.

do you think a blown psu could cause these sorts of problems?
12-07-2006, 01:41 PM

It could if the one of the rails is off.
Plus you could check it to eliminate this as the problem.
I would also take mb out of the case, is in a case? Set it up on a bench, table, whatever is non-conductive, then try it. Maybe you got something shorting the mb out on the case? Just a thought.
It's just a process of elimination.

will do need to get hands on a dmm first. seeing as how this is finals week i don't have time to do this trouble shooting lol

''slow harddisk detection''
- try plugging dvd burner on the jmicron controller.

-pcix issue.
well, i ve been doing some testing.
The Sb voltage, didnt make a difference, only boots frequently at 16x/x1.
But after i set nb to 1.45/1.55 it holds at 16x.
THe northbridge-voltage must be the key.

Pci freq is let by 100MHz. ( cuz some say setting to 96 is fixing it......)

anyone know what's underneath the heatsink next to the cpu socket?

i'm going to replace the NB sink but need to sink whatever is underneath that part of the board :) thanks.

Lights, camera, no action

Just got all the parts in my "new build" sig. Can't load the OS. I get into BIOS to see I have 614. When I exit the BIOS I get a read light on the CD, but no action. The "blinking cursor" in the upper left part of the screen tells me I have issues. I have no beep codes.

I've tried two CD readers; two IDE cables. Suggestions? TIA/phogger

so i didn't understand.. what bios should i use for my system?
p5b dlx
gskill 800mhz 1gb pc6400 PK 12-4-4-4
is it 0614\0804\0903
what is the best?
and also - where can i get them?

I just re-did my stock cooler w/ ceramique. It has a cheesy paste on the NB...... just like on a GPU core. It comes right off w/ moderate pressure. Just make sure you have all four tabs on the stock heatpipe ready to release from the PCB so you don't twist the heatsink on the NB core and chip it. The other end (with the fins) just has some crappy tape that doesn't really stick, so that end will just come right off.

I'm waiting on my orders from D-Tek and DangerDen to set up my WC'ing, so I installed the optional fan on the stock heatpipe fins. I could light it off on the bench on air, but I'm just waiting for all my WC'ing stuff first.

903 is still a beta
the final 804 seems to be good I have been on that for a while now :thumbsup:

i guess you were right. I disconnected everything cept for hd cdrom mobo cpu gpu ram. now it works. PSU is fried but my comp still runs. I thought seasonics were suppose to be reliable.

It has a Vdroop of 0.05V, for example , when u set to 2.25V, pcprobe will see 2.20V .

In ur case, 3.3V = 3.25V.
Cant be true.
