For the people who own these boards, how how are you able to take the FSB?
I was able to do 500MHZ FSB 1:1 with 4X1GB perfectly fine. Which is something neither of my P5B-Ds were able to do. I tried finding the Max FSB last night but couldn't pull more than 520MHz without it locking up within a few seconds of Orthos. Although I tried with 4 sticks of ram.
So people with this board, could you take it much higher than 500MHz FSB?
i'll be able to answer you soon (i've just bought an E6600 that can do 555FSB on Watercooling) for now my E6400 has its FSB wall around 500MHz :(
Same here. Can't get over it with mine either. My memory can easily do it.Quote:

I'm currently at 450x8 on an E6600, which is technically 506.25 due to the 9x default multi. Haven't really tried for higher though.
Edit, what I would really like to see on this board is both a bios and a piece of software that will display accurate voltages.
and an explaination of the Ram timings!(I'm new to intel and DDR2)
wow, pretty sure mine will not near go that high. :p:Quote:

I bet he is using LN2 too. What is the highest on aircooling without mods?Quote:

Ya rig is in sig....
for voltages the only things i increased with FSB voltage + MCH voltage. Both by +0.1V. Ram is running @ 2.25V 4-4-4-12. All other sub timings are stock. for cooling all is stock except I have an Antec SpotCool over the ram on high speed (very nice little thing) as with 4 sticks they are getting quite hot.
Its the ram. I can run higher on any 2 sticks, but when running 4, can't hit 1k
My max stable is only 520MHz ...
try with 2 stick rams
ah now i see what you mean by that comment in my thread

ANy one got Ram probs with this Board? if so what are the probs, got myself a Mushkin 8500XP, I want to pick one of the P35-DQ6, and cancel my order of the Asus P5K deluxe ( due the Heat probs), untill I heared that gigabyte got some Ram probs? if so what are those probs exactly, any one experience with the Mushkin 8500XP (d9mgh ) on this board?
no problems at all with D9GKX (Super Talent PC6400)
hmzz, are there any other Probs atm with this board?Quote:

Thanks
and the funniest part is that i was actually copying and pasting it all when you jumped the gun because you're a tad impatient too :p:Quote:

I noted that when it does endless tries to post, switching on and off, it is a memory issue. By the way I am able to boot 500 Mhz + and I measured the memory bandwith to check the strap changes: with my system at 500 MHz it is very poor, 3900 MB/s vs 5700 MB/s at 390 Mhz.Quote:

I tried any bios combination and programs like speedfan but I never succeed in :mad:
I already tried that and no luck at all. :rolleyes: :confused: :( My memory has no problems running at 600mhz at 5,5,5,18@2.35v.Quote:

Still no luck at all.:rolleyes: :confused: POS. I can get to 508mhz fsb but after that it becomes flaky even with memory running at 5,5,5,15 1:1. The memory runs fine at 600mhz at 5,5,5,18@2.35v no problem. Seem like a hardware strap issue.Quote:

Still cannot post past ~525MHz FSB even with the CPU on water. Still have only tried 4GB of ram though.
you know a lot of CPU have a FSB wall before 500MHz...
hey can someone figure out if and where the mobo switches straps
I have to admit that reading other peoples experiences with other boards that this mobo would benefit from a more developed bios. But as a recent 939 convert I'm quite pleased with the performance I'm getting.
Roll on memset for the P35 too!
Anyone have this board and a Q6600? I just got mine today and am wondering whats the best bios working for quad?.
could be your CPU FSB wall yeahQuote:

I see that all the time, and that's good.
Anyhow, today I had a complete reset, like when you click on that "load default settings" or whatever it's called in the BIOS, everything was lost. Anyone else seen this before?

I did + 643 on it :) (cpu fsb wall)
The board is dead now as it just keeps on turning on and off now. :shrug: :mad:Quote:

E6320 500FSB
none of them can do over 500 :(
Happened also to me......I had to clear CMOS with a screwdriver :(Quote:

Im on the stock cooler (with a few mods to make it quieter & safer) because my xp-120 didnt fit contrary to this artical:
http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=643&p=2
This is a random overclock, I didnt want to go mad only having a stock cooler. Can anyone make sence of these temps? I set the bios to alarm over 70'c and I got an alarm when core temp 0.95 went over 70'c. Also in the first overclock I had the voltage options set to AUTO and it bumped the CPU voltage up to 1.4v with a lot higher temperatures.
Ill go for more if the temperature is ok. What do u think?
Edit 1.38v idle 1.36v load Orthos @3.15Ghz e2160.
Vdroop zero according to speedfan ( it does show movement when vcore set to auto in the first overclock):

Sorry Ive not done any suicide shots yet.Quote:

Tried 400fsb with +0.02 on Mch(northbridge) and +0.02 on Vfsb and no post. Possibly a cpu fsb wall as I have a 200fsb default cpu.
Might strip it down and take the crazy cool off tomorrow to fit my xp-120; maybe bend a few northbridge fins in the process. Ill try a cpu fsb mod if Ive got some conductive ink left.
Any program to monitor Mch and Vfsb voltage? I can see vcore, vdimm (easy tune center) not much else. I cant see what values the mobo sets when I set it to the auto overclock voltages and there is no voltage monitor in bios. All I know is that vcore is set to 1.4v when engaging auto overclock voltages.
525MHz is a hard limit for me, too...I think there may be more to this than just a CPU FSB wall.Quote:

Currently the spec's are: QX6800, thermalright 120extreme 2x120mm fans at 1600rpms (push/pull), corsair PC8888 2GB RAM and a new shiny 8800ultra, enermax 1Kw psu, 2x150 raps r0.
I managed to get set the manual settings in the bios but have like no idea what to do after that. I'm coming from the 680i mobo's...the settings and names on this mobo is like...lost.
Few things...set my DDR overvolts to +0.60 which means the ram is running at 2.4v right? Also RAM is running at 1066 (auto bios setting for multi).
Few things totally bug me...no program will show what the RAM voltage is, and so totally hate this bios...found the 680i so much easier.
Anyways...until I get time to put the phase system into action...I wanna get use to the bios settings, etc. So can someone write out the expected BIOS settings and the things I need to look out for? I know the voltage side of things (gits made it so hard...gigagits) so please let me know.
Oh...sry for hijacking this thread. It seems u people actually have clue what you are doing so er...sry...but please help me!
Thank u...oh and I'm kinda new to the forum so HELLO!!!!!!! I'm JenBell and kind of lost...wait...I was never found...er...:-|
Speedfan will show you the RAM voltages for these boards, it seems to be rather accurate as well.
That is correct regarding the RAM voltage, just start at 1.8v which is JEDEC specs and add from there.
If you have unexplained BSODS or Memtest shows errors when running RAM at 8500 speeds then you should try "Option 2" under the MIT -> RAM DLL option setting. Some people haven't needed to, but it was a must for me as even at stock the RAM wasn't stable on Option 1 which is default.
Hello K,
When I start speedfan I get this IT8712F message...do I need to config anything in addition in SFN?
Resetting the cmos on this mobo is LIKE SOOOOOO HARD....but eventually got it done. The thing was that the ram settings where just not right and well...got too trigger happy.
Is anyone running the DQ6 with the corsair 8s? Someone must be...if you are can please please....pretty please with a cherry on top...(er....)...post your bios settings because I just cant get it stable.
Other than the OCing stuff I am starting to dig this mobo. It just feels really stable and if something is wrong it tries its best to carry on (unlike some previous mobos...they just died bios-cally). Might not give me the confidence the SLI-DR did (my fave mobo so far and it look pretty-ish as well) but its good enough.
I guess no-one hear watches Kdramas (S.Korean) but if u wanna give it a go u have to watch resurrection (d-addicts) and ooo....the devil is like sooooo awesome. Still watching jumong....another 20 epis left but totally awesome series...sry...ot.t....OK peeps...so please someone help me? Oh and can someone like tell me what game demo thing I can download to see what the 8800ultra can do (got a dell 3007 but usually play all my games in windows - as in not-full screen so I can do other stuff at the same time). Just wanna see some eye candy really. Ah...3dmark...wait...thats kinda of a no-no...I know I am not gonna be happy with the score and junk the mobo for another 88ulti and most likely a striker of in9 and wait for nvidiots to release the next chip set. Also....what is with those crysis gits....taking sooo long to make that game. Got my £1200 ready for gpu upgrade for crysis....totally got to play that on the 30" all maxed out....its like an unwritten rule...ok.....the end.
That's a normal message, just ignore it. You don't need to configure anything pre-se, but if you click the link in my sig you can see how I configured mine to be more useful... I renamed the RAM voltage, removed the fan controls since I don't use them, and the same for a few other readings that were bogus.
How do you set the ram timmings on this mb. I'm coming from the DFI 680I lt and I'm really lost on this DQ6 board
thanks
On my Q6600 I'm only able to hit 460 x 9 bootable (not 100% stable tho)
I can do 450 x 9 solid tho.
Thats not maxing out any of the MCH, or FSB settings tho. Do these help if you have active cooling on this heat pipe crap?

Also how do I know my NB and FSB voltage?
you dont.... ROFL...
2T onlyQuote:

only cpu has actual voltages listed, vdimm on auto may or may not give your memory the correct voltage, default when increasing is 1.8 + whatever you add (note auto may or may not set to 1.8) NB and FSB just have to use + whatever, no real voltages in bios. Good performing board, but BIOS needs updated to the 21st century (or my next board will be a diff brand)
one other note, if you use Bios F5 or F6 the memory controller is better, performance on memset is 7 instead of 11, which on my computer/settings means sisoft sandra bandwidth 7700 instead of 7100 on F4. Also on F5 and F6 had to change pcie to 105 and add +.05 to get my graphics card back to 16x when OC(read last posts on p35dq6 bios threads)

:shocked: very nice FSB man!
ok My cpu was stable at 3930mhz on my 680i dfi board. I know my cpu is not the problem. My problem is that I do not know the voltage requirements for the NB or FSB for 434-440 x9 FSB.
Also once I run orthos the systems reboots itself and on the health status sub menu from top to bottom the DDR18V is showing Fail. My voltage is +35 for vdimm. what could be a good starting point for NB and FSB volts for my desire speeds. I'm running my pc8500 micron chips under their stocks speeds (860-880mhz).
thanks
hlo
No reason to laugh as I was running my DFI 680I lt in 1t command and it was faster than 2t command by a long shot. again I'm coming from a different chipset/mb.Quote:
