[dmitriyaz]

no problem

[MrIcee]

I just recieved my New board from RMA from NewEgg...it's last 4 digits of the serial are 2222, it has the Nichicon caps, and on the version # it was 1.0 on the sticker...but was penned to 1.1. I'll have it up and running soon...as I'm currently working on a review and am using the board as part of it for installation purposes Hope to be blowing some 3Dmark soon my friends

MrIcee.. I have your boards twin

just hope i get 1/2 the clock you and OPP get from these..

so far im at 2003hz 13.5 X 148..

evrything runs fine except 3dmark2001se.it just locks up b4 the 1st splash screen.been playing cs for the last 2 hours with no problems at all..just wont run 3dmark only tested the 29.42 and the 29.80 dets

im just happy to push this puppy past the 2g mark.
temps have dropped for some reason to 31 idle 45 load.

[MrIcee]

Try this little fix I discovered for locks in 3DMark. You will need to install and set this data with WPCRset:
B0=07

That stopped lockups for me...good luck

Randi

[Svenn]

What is WPCRset and where can I get it?

[Keeper]

Abit has my board right now, I am waiting for it's return with the fix to put my XP2200+ to work. I will be going through all of your threads for tips to get the best perfomance possible out of it.

[DuraN]

MrIcee when i try to set that value to 07 it changes it self to 0F no matter what...This is on Host Bridge Device right ?

[Rollin]

cheers MrIcee

i allready got Wpcrset install for the hacks to lower my idle temps.
ill give it a try and report back soon..

its 100% stable runnin everything else.

[Rollin]

MrIcee..the hack didnt work for me..

all i still get when i try to run 3dmark2001se is a black screen,it wont even display the 1st loading screen.

i can press esc and it will exit the prog.so its not lockin up in a way,its just failing to display whats goin on.

the GF4TI4600 is NOT clocked and its set to 4X in bios,side banding is enabled.the only way i can find to diable this,is to use power strip.

the latest via agp driver is installed,even patched XP with the update for the problems with DX8.1 and AMD cpu's.

but still a non runner

[Rollin]

Im just getting ready for a fresh install of XP..

just backing up stuff from my small hdd..gonna reformat and do a fresh install..

its gonna take some time because i got loads to do over the new few days..

got to go do the airport run to pick up the Outlaws from there hols

ill post my results with the clean install and also with this present install

[Rollin]

So far all seems well with the fresh install

even runs 3dmark2001se with no lockups or problems..:smileysex

[Svenn]

I just got my KX7 in. I can't seem to find a sticker with the revision number. What does it look like and where is it?

EDIT: I found it. I have the same thing MrIcee, v1.0 penned to v1.1. Have you tested it yet with a Tbred?

[Rollin]

yeh mine runs sweet

[Svenn]

Rollin, which version is your board? And which multipliers do you have?

EDIT: Oops, I missed this

MrIcee.. I have your boards twin

In that case, what kind of cooling ar you using?

[Rollin]

Svenn... my cooling is a globalwin CAK38 copper heatsink.with a delta 7,000 rpm fan on it..

trying to find some where in the UK that stocks the thermalright SK8..

[Svenn]

Nice, I hope I can get over 2ghz with mine... I'm waiting for my case and rest of my watercooling arrive...

[Shuki]

rollin - did you look at the sticker on back of mobo? I know serial number on box is twin but is version same too? look on sticker on back to know. vX.X on right side of sticker.

[Rollin]

Svenn..

its back in the case but the sticker had V1.0 with the 0 changed to 1 with a blue biro pen..

ill be popping her back out soon to lap the N/B..

ill write down all the info from the stickers and post all the info..

at the moment im stuck at 2025hz 13.5x150 no matter what settings i try in bios..

think i need to unlock the 2200+ this weekend..just hope i get the time to strip down the system,just got word that the new house is ready
so got a load of things to sort out and do..

I have a big problem: with my new 2200+ i can only reach 191mhz fsb when CPU decode is "FAST" and 205mhz at "NORMAL" - with my 1700+ i can get 220mhz (FAST)??

1700+ @217mhz fsb -> http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=3873211

2200+ @191mhz fsb ->http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=3979481

How can i fix this problem??? Is it a problem between KX7 and Tbred?

This is a general trend we have been noticing with each new generation of CPUs. The newer the generation, the less agressive one can set the CPU command decode for higher FSB speeds. I am not sure it is "fixable" at the moment and might be the reason why the Epox 8K31+ does not include the ability to change the value since their 2312 bios for stability.

[Rollin]

ummm..

thats probly why i keep hitting a brick wall..

just persumed that things would get better and take more aggresive timeings with each new cpu..
