Thanks for the info played around with vtt & gtl's got my vtt down from 1.351 to 1.3 volts +30 +10 +30 + 10 9 hours prime small ftt occt blend :up:Quote:

How did your e8500 kill itself exactly? What happened? What voltages were you giving it?Quote:

Do you have any settings for 7.5*500. With vcore 1.375 PC get in windows and I managed to make about 10minutes testing with Orthos but then PC freezes. So if you have some settings to stabilize it, i will be very greatfull.
Best reagards
What settings did you use to get into windows at 500 FSB? If you can fill out a template we can go from there and see what it can do.
Depends a bit on how much you want to thrash it, and how it responds, some Quads will not do 500 FSB but I have not got any experience with them - some guys here do though, hopefully they can give you some advice. It will probably take 1.3 - 1.4 vFSB, 1.55 - 1.60 vPLL and 1.37 - 1.45 vcore, but you should be able to get a little more out of it without pushing it that hard.
Almost everything is on Auto, because I really don't understand why I need so much things to twaek. On my older motherboards it was just vcore and everything goest fine :) Now there are so much settings and almost no explanations about what to do exactly, so I prefer to put everything on Auto and try that way.Quote:

Auto settings often give components way more voltage than they need; it's best to set them manually. Even on older boards you had to set more than just vcore: vMCH/NB voltage, VTT/FSB Termination voltage and vDIMM/memory voltage were very important to set manually.
well ive had it with asus.i got my rma back for the second time,and this board is warped worse than the previous two.it was sent in an inside out, P5Q3 box.most likely used and repaired,or someone else replacement. this is total BS. im going to call them just to give them exactly what i think of this company right now.total crap
Here is alittle info for you.Quote:

Asus has a policy called "Non-Repair Grounds" if you send a board in with any of these issues they can refuse to repair it, guess what one of the non repair items are???
Thats right "Board Deformed" so using there own policy ask them how on gods green earth can they send you something that they can refuse to repair themselves. If they can refuse it so can you. Also refuse to send it to the Indiana facility, Send it to Fremont California, that is a much better facility.

I wish you luck:up:
Any ideas what may be causing this? Any body did see something like this on his machine>? Please do not tell me I am alone with this crap :shocked:.Quote:

What version chipset drivers are you using?Quote:

I didn't think it'd last forever at that voltage, but I figured the "death" would atleast be more exciting.Quote:

But I'll fiddle with it more tonight.
Seban i had once on vista when i had my VGA OC'd, this was happening on my P5K deluxe, so i came to a solution puting PCIE = 103+, later i added 2x2sticks of RAM and if using 1,25NB same problem, then upped to 1,4 and problem gone...But it was some bandwith problem or bottleneck somewhere, with the MF2 this problems are gone and my VGA OC it's impressive on lower volts also...Quote:

@grnfinger,thanks again for your help and advice i'm going to try getting ahold of someone in charge. hopefully they can help.
Dude, you said "someone in charge"........:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Good luck with THAT.....:up:
im starting to like this board but the NB gets REAL HOT!
and raid is a tad messed up
I just picked one up on a 'too good to pass' deal. still trying to decide whether to keep it or resell. Phil, is that the quad I sent you? I always knew that chip had potential if it was in something other than that crap ds3l I was crunching it in :D
I am using newest ones from ASUS web page at least I think so.Quote:

Which should I use? Can you give me number, link or download location.

Thank you. I will reinstall Vista today just to rule it out from equation.Quote:

I'm currently tweaking my GTL reference voltages to try and get 8,5 x 475 stable with my q9550 C1. Core 0 and Core 1 are rocksolid at the moment, and Core 2 and 3 crashed instantly before I started tweaking, and now can run roughly 10 minutes of prime95 small FFTs using 1,4vCore, 1,38VTT and 1,34 NB. These are nowhere near the lowest possible to get this stable, but I'm overvolting a bit to rule out voltage problems. Now sometimes when I'm tweaking GTL reference voltages, cores I did not expect to be affected by not tinkering with their GTL reference voltages, become totally unstable (3 instant crashed in a row with prime95 small FFTs, which could run 10 minutes+ before just fine). This makes me believe I don't have the right idea of which reference voltages are used for which cores. I've seen 4 different versions:
GTL0: Core 0,1 Data Bus
GTL1: Core 2,3 Data Bus
GTL2: Core 0,1 Address Bus
GTL3: Core 2,3 Address Bus
GTL0: Core 0,2 Data Bus
GTL1: Core 1,3 Data Bus
GTL2: Core 0,2 Address Bus
GTL3: Core 1,3 Address Bus
GTL0: Core 0,1 Data Bus
GTL1: Core 2,3 Address Bus
GTL2: Core 0,1 Data Bus
GTL3: Core 2,3 Address Bus
GTL0: Core 0,2 Data Bus
GTL1: Core 1,3 Address Bus
GTL2: Core 0,2 Data Bus
GTL3: Core 1,3 Address Bus
So which one is the real explanation on what the GTL reference voltages do for quad core CPUs on the Maximus II formula? This is very important to know, since sometimes it just feels I'm changing those settings completely in the dark, without knowing what core's stability the changes are going to affect. I would be very grateful, and I think many more people will be, if someone could tell which is the correct version.
