Rattle can you put a screenshot of your memset settings?
I was trying to get 3.6 on Water, but as soon as i overvolt other then the MCH it fails. 3.4 is what i can get with my E6400. 3.2 on Air so of course I was not happy on the Price/Performance.

set mch to 1.65
ich to 1.20
memory to 2.35
What are u guys using to overclock in windows? setfsb and clock gen are not working for me. When i apply settings in any of these programs they seem to be working but i have no increase in performance. testing using softsandra and marks are the same. I could use ai booster but i need something that will apply changes without restarting. thanx for any help.
P5WDH delux
x6800 extreme
asus 1950xtx crossfire edition
corsair 8500c5
As soon as i up the volts. it Dies. I blame it on the memory or MoBo.Quote:

all else is auto'd, hyperpath is killed and the usual others.
I dont even have or use memset, if you really need the settings though, post a link to the applicable version and I'll post them up for you.
I have problems with this mobo and a Kentsfield processor. I can’t reach more than 3Ghz frequency. I tried everything, following what it’s written in the first post of this discussion. I disabled Hyperpath 3, changed PSU units(Tagan 530W), changed memory modules (I have DB9) but nothing to do. I also tried the mobo with an E6600 and I can reach 3,6Ghz stable (12h+ Orthos blend).
I have noticed that my Kentsfield is supported only in BIOS from 1101 to 1407. The mobo gives me cpu uCode error with 1506 a 1601 (beta) and 1602 (last official) BIOS. My CPU is step 5 rev B1.
In your opinion is it possible that at 1,55v the CPU can’t rise more than 3,1Ghz (with a “supporting” BIOS, I am using 1407)? I tried to change multiplier, I tried from 8x to 11x, but there is nothing to do. Do I have a low performing CPU or I just have to change motherboard?

Then you wasted your money buying something for software that isn't out for two months yet.
As I said b4, I'm sure that that it will be fixed but it just that so few seem to be getting their knickers in twist about a 'yet to be officially supported' OS...

i see all these nice overclocks and i wonder to myself what i'm doing wrong...i'm gonna try that systool too and see if i get any luck with this board too
I use 1.6 and get 3.20 rsQuote:

I am asking because I expected more good overclocking performances from this CPU, and because I am seriously thinking about chancing motherboard.
Rattle-
Interesting similarity between our rigs and overclocks. :)
I have a week 30 e6600 as well along with the same RAM and my results on air are as yours.
Except I have a 750 watt power supply and yours is a 160 watt! :bows:
:eek: sparx
OT- I am not getting my email alerts for posts here, How might I fix this? :dammit:
.....and where does one select this about?Quote:

I see nothing in drop down list or am I missing summit lol? :confused:

What bios are u guys using now? im using 1602. I s this the best one or should i go back to another?
This might be a problem with the board so I thought I would ask for any advice anyone could offer troubleshooting this problem.
Here are the components:
Conroe e6600
Asus P5W DH Deluxe BIOS was 1305, now 1602.
2x1GB GSkill PC6400 5-5-5-15
2x250GB WD 250GB SATAII
16x NEC DVD-RW
Antec Truepower 550W (Thermaltake Toughpower 650W on the way)
ATI X1900XT
To start with I couldn't get Windows to install to one of the drives. I would get BSODs and errors during install. Ran Memtest86 for a few mins without errors. Updated BIOS and then was able to install Windows. Tried to install onto a RAID 0 array using Intel built in controller but again got BSODs. Downloaded latest RAID drivers from Intel and was able to install to the RAID array without issue.
Since I got XP installed OK, I downloaded the latest Windows updates and drivers. Then I OCed the CPU to 3GHz at stock voltages. Came up like a champ. Ran 3dMark06 and it went fine (got a 6559).
Decided to run dual instances of Prime95 overnight to test the system. Watched it for a while and temps got up to 37C and that's it (cold in the basement).
In the morning the desktop was blank like the system had rebooted itself. As soon as I moved the mouse it BSODed and rebooted. Now it BSODs when I try to get into Windows, even at stock speeds on the CPU and RAM.
Ran a Memtest again and immediately got errors at 1220MB and 200MB (would seem to indicate both sticks bad).
I'm going to put in a new PSU tonight and test it again. If I still have problems it seems either the motherboard or RAM is causing the problems. I don't have another DDR2 board or I'd move the RAM there and Memtest it on that board.
Any other troubleshooting tips I can try while I'm working on it?
Thanks.
I have a similar problem.
Today i built a new rig containing:
E6600
P5WDHDLX
2gb Xtreem 1ghz 5 5 5 15
8800GTX
Windows installed fine but BSOD's during first boot.
Blue bar goes by couple times then BAM, bsod and instant reboot.
Ive disabled almost everything in bios. i also updated to newest bios with usb flash thingie.
All stuff is brand new. What can it be?
/K
Your graphics card needs a very powerful PSU... Which PSU are you using?Quote:

This freaking board is randomly shutting down...weird thing is cpu fan keeps spinning, but it just shuts down.
This didnt happen with my other C2D(had the ihs :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: ed so had to rma it.)
am i missing something?
It doesnt do it with a horrible celeron that i have laying around..
Its all at stock speeds.
e6400
pr2dh deluxe
gskill 1gb 4-4-4-12 ddr800
fps fortron epsilon 600w
x1900xt
Thanx guys!
PS:Im having a lot of trouble with this board... :/
can someone pls share 1703 Bios
thx
regards
have you tryied to raise mch? Anyway I was able to lower vcore but still running orthos to verify. The temp are not bad with the vcore higher processors at 45c(Idle) 52c(stressed) and mobo at 36c degree. Later I will post my settings.Quote:

I'm troubleshooting that issue, I think it came from a botched windows install. Or high northrbridge temperatures.Quote:

This is after it got used with a less than stellar PSU. I may have to RMA both damn boards now, if newegg'll even let me.
