Nice clocks!

Could you post your bios settings for that or a picture of easytune6.

**systemviper** · 10-23-2008, 09:58 AM

I'll try to get that posted when i get done work

cheers

Also, which 2x1GB corsair ram did you use for that ?

Hey guys, thought i'd post some of my results with this board, especially for those Q9xxx users out there.
This board is really been the first to unleash the golden Q9450 i suspected i've always had. I'm currently at 4.0ghz with very reasonable votlages, starting stability testing. I got up to 4.2ghz for some cpu math benches, and plan on taking it further once i nail down a stable clock.
This is all within an hour or two of opening the box. I'm really amazed.
The Pi times are pretty slow as i'm on a totally unoptimized, few month old vista install, but i'll tweak as i go along.
Will post 4ghz stable screen when i get back from swim practice!

nice to see high FSB on all those quads

here´s a nice validation with Q9550 E0 and UD3P - mushkin redline are running with CL4....

such a awesome motherboard!

holy smackums!!!
that E0 stepping sure works wonders!

Mind sharing yer volts on that one?

**zodden** · 10-23-2008, 04:24 PM

My ram won't let me go higher then 577 FSB but nice stuff at 560 FSB-Too high volts for normal use LOL

**Slovnaft** · 10-23-2008, 04:37 PM

1.85 to cpu pll?? 1.6 to vtt?
holy degradation batman!

is that really safe? i've been all antsy about even going up to 1.63 pll and 1.42 vtt

No not safe imo

Only ran that to see if I could, and to see what the board auto's to. I don't plan on doing that 24/7. I just wanted to see if I could get into windows and see what auto sets. I moved it right back down to more sane volts.

**Slovnaft** · 10-23-2008, 05:22 PM

oh of course not 24/7 i meant even just for quick cpu math benching.
Gigabyte's auto settings always overkill voltage like whoah.

I think its ok just for that. I mean anything is possible but I doubt one boot with a non stressful test like everest will do it in , especially with good temps and no 100% or even close to 100% cpu usage. I suppose there is an inherent risk of course though even one boot and one test but its a risk I felt was acceptable. In a year I doubt I will even own this cpu and since when I bench or use 24/7 my settings are safe I am not worried.

I have actually read even higher volts on auto in some screens and on air and/or water and not cold. I wouldn't do any stressful benches at those settings, but that's just me.

Hi all of sifu's here.,can any of the sifus give me the full bios setting for this mainboard to get 4ghz.,i just want to use it for reference only.,because i tried yesterday i cannot get to 4ghz.,only can get to 3.60ghz only..tq

all of your reply is much appreciated..TQ

**clo007** · 10-26-2008, 08:50 AM

Ordered mine Friday from the egg.....now, waiting

**expect91** · 10-26-2008, 08:58 AM

Impressive motherboard, the "want to have" feeling is great, as always with great MBs

**radaja** · 10-26-2008, 11:45 AM

i got this board yesterday and ive tried voltages on auto and was able to boot and be stable @533x8 with my e8400 but the volts for pll,vtt were to high for my taste. my question is, ive been trying to get stable @9x470 but the lowest i can get pll,vtt is pll@1.57,vtt@1.42. also my vcore@1.425 w/lcc disabled real load@1.36 and vnb@1.30 seems very stable@4270,but are these volts for vtt,pll ok? after reading about a few of these boards frying and taking out some CPUs with them. on my last board i wasnt able to ron vtt,vnb any higher than 1.11 to 1.20. so these high volt are kind of scary. just need some input and advice. thank you

vtt,pll looks safety, and 1.36v stable at 4270MHz is a nice processor you have

**ezaleina** · 10-26-2008, 07:16 PM

my 1st attempt for 4ghz..is the temperature ok..and how about the settings.,do i need to change?

Ive set vtt/Mch higher than i would normally dare but it didnt make any difference. Ive also copied Hicookies settings in this post but it still fails super_pi and blend instantly. My ram is OCZ flex 2 9200 so normally handles 500Mhz with ease.

Try dropping your MCH Reference volts from 0.760 -> 0.660 in ET6
Actually, just drop it one notch at a time until you are stable.
I set up ocz flex 9200's and flex 9600's on EP45-Extreme using 0.660v MCH Ref 1200Mhz DDR2 @ 2.1V

BTW can you pass memtest 5 and 7?

Also might wanna try 800-900mv and 200-300ps skews for cpu and MCH clocks

**headman800** · 10-27-2008, 12:00 AM

Cool mobo. i'm thinkink to buy it soon 8)

**radaja** · 10-27-2008, 04:04 AM

heres what ive settled on(for now)

**Slovnaft** · 10-27-2008, 04:51 AM

kindof OT, but this board has made me want to go Gigabyte for X58, but the success of Rampage Extreme makes me think that R2E might be the top board.
Any thoughts on this? Think EP45 UD3's success will carry into gigabyte's X58 line?

**radaja** · 10-27-2008, 04:53 AM

heres my new e8500.im still having no luck lowering my vtt,pll volt below 1.42,1.59 whenever my fsb goes above 430

**Slovnaft** · 10-27-2008, 05:01 AM

those vtt and pll are fine, though i'd expect them to yield higher fsb.
OH DOOD, you need more NB volts. Do 1.5+ and you'll be at 500fsb easy without anything else (maybe keep vtt where it is and pop pll up to 1.61)
