Well guys, I will buy some new memory, and I need some feedback about this one: GSKILL F26400CL4D-2GBPK
Those who have this kit, please give me your opinnions. Is it possible to boot without the spd timmings?? Is it stable at 400 mhz of fsb?
Thanks in advance
I have a major FSB wall/limitation at 356fsb. I can run my E6600 at 356 x 9 for 3.2 Ghz stable at all default voltages. One Mhz over 356 fsb and I'm not stable, regardless of any increases I try in voltages.
Is there any way to distinguish whether fsb limitations are due to the CPU or the motherboard?
P.S.: I also seem to have the fsb wall at 356 fsb even if I lower the CPU multiplier.
Guys...i have a thread with some questions about dh remote software...if anyone can give me a hand, head over here.
Thanx guys!
Sorry for the offtopic.
Ontopic: I want to change the northbridge stock cooler...its ridiculously hot to the touch...but i have one question:
I have a Thermaltake big typhoon...what would be the ideal companion to this monster(cause its almost over the chipset...and i dont want to buy something just to find out it doesnt fit.)
Thanx again.
EDIT: If anyone have pics, it would be GREAT!
the remote is limited, that's just how it is. It's good for basic functions and on/off computer.Quote:

If you're worry about clearance issue with the TTBT, then I suggest the Jing-Ting nb cooler, it can pivot in configuration.

cheap way: (Sunon 40x20mm Maglev)

I just mounted a fan on the stock northbridge heatsink after cleaning off the stock thermal "concrete" and replacing it with AS5.Quote:

When you think about it Asus should have had active cooling on the NB factory stock-- for what these boards cost. :shrug: :moon:
I believe the stock HS is fine, but it needs a blow.
OT- This thread is about to hit 100 pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :toast:

Is there no more G.skill HZ?Quote:

I replaced the stock "goop" for some cheap ass thermal compound...and it works...its just ridiculously hot to the touch...so i tried ataching a fan...and it changes a lot...but i feel more like using an aftermarket cooler instead.Quote:

Temps...from passive to 40mm fan.
What exactly was the big problem anyway?Quote:

WAit a sec....what sensor gives the exact temps from the northbridge and southbridge? ..i can feel the heatsink a lot cooler than before, but cant find the temperature measurement anywhere :P (software? Everest perhaps?)
You can't read 975x temp through software
So is a touch and feel kinda measurement? :P Damn.
Anyway...i think i found a new use for the asus mosfets included blower. Pictures coming soon.
Get one of those indoor/outdoor thermometers (digital) reads in Fahrenheit and Celsius. One temp is read from inside the main unit the other is on a wire.Quote:

Of course you could buy a device like a Digidoc, or get a VOM that reads temps too.

My temps without the fan were 72C and with the fan went down to 37C.Quote:

I got a Radio Shack 40 mm fan on it running at 7 volts, using the 7 volt trick.
I ghetto attached it with hot glue. :yepp: It was kind of loud at 12 volts but did cool a little better.
Sparx
Yeah.......I stuck a couple of THESE on my chipset.....very quiet and much cooler.
I have them connected to my front fan controller....but low or high I can't hear them :) :)
Nice looking fan.Quote:

You are in the UK, how much is that in Yankee dollars?
At current rate buddy.......about $9.79 each :)Quote:

I stuck a Radical NB Block on my board, easily the best solution :fact: :banana:
Hi, so with regard to NB temps, has anyone had any issues with the temps causing crashes or lockup's, in fact any problems at all?
ChrisC
Nope, I run my Extreme Spirit II and ran my stock cooler fanless
Never had any problems (400fsb 24hours orthos on stock vmch)

By the way, can you boot with manual timings or you have to put spd timings?
Is it orthos (large test) stable at 400 mhz fsb?
Thanks in advance
I have managed to boot up at 400 fsb with Super Talent PC-6400 (manual timings 4-4-3-8 ) and it is stable in orthos (boot with 2Gb and 4Gb) with bios 1602.

Hi, I'm running my 6300 @2.8 with a FSB of 400. Not had any temp problems with the NB either. So I'm thinking it's 'percieved' problem not an actuall one...
