where did you get that easy tune from
i wonder why mine refuses to load up

i've started some testing here
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=209143

its the one on the cd, i have many services disabled, im guessing its a service in windows vista 64 that might be preventing it from opening, try disabling some services and see if it helps. If you need a SS of which services i have disabled, let me know.

[Ghigo]

Yes plz a list of what you disabled , it will make also my OS faster for sure

I refuse to remove it so by now must have sent 300+ app crash reports to MS.

Installing high end watercooling tomorrow morning

Easy Tune 6 has been updated, if your not using the one that came with the retail board you need to download it from their website.


I've used it in XP and Vista 64bit with out issue.

[memory]

can anyone of you confirm that Dual channel is better than tri channel on this mobo for 3d benchies??

TQ

[Ghigo]

Tested every version for x58 of easytune with every bios from F2 to F4e and nothing changed.
Did also 3 clean installs of vista 64 ultimate with 2 different releases of the dvd , an integrated to october and origianl first sp1 release.

Only hardware that i have that probably other miss is a blue ray/HD dvd burner

[flopper]

lol i dont believe that dude

Your from down under so I guess sentences works abckwards.
Noted, as you gracefully asked, I went back and checked to make sure what was the proper numbers, and you are right, you shouldnt belive me.
In bios set as 1.425vcore,cpu-z shows with prime running 1.392 and idle 1.408.
Was in a frenzy last day due to my newly arrived waterblock.
Which works tremendously btw.

My multiplier keeps going from 21 to 20 when on full load, what setting in the bios is causing this?

[X.T.R.E.M.E_ICE]

I have ET6 working also on Vista x64. It didn't work last week before i did a fresh install. But it works fine now. Maybe update atleast to service pack 1 before installing.

Turbo Boost in Advanced CPU Features.

Though turning it off will keep the cpu set to whatever it is in the bios.
"Turbo Boost" gives you an added multi for single threaded apps.

Ah it's probably because I run WCG with 8 threads. Thanks

Yeah the issue I believe with Easy Tune and Vista 64 is ATI drivers..

Okay my board died from some bios mishap and I can't decide if I should get this board again or go for the P6T Deluxe Gar what do you think you have had both.. More importantly are the temps better on the Gigabyte???

Also I wasn't a big fan of the F4f bios it didn't give you much control over the Vcore it went from like 1.375 to say 1.4375 not really much control...

The board has dual bios, it shouldnt give out like that, also a new bios is out, F4G

It's not bug with ati drivers cos i tried install easytune before videocard drivers

Installed only chipset ones and after easytune but still no go, miss one piece of the watercooling so cant boot till tomorrow morning /sigh

Maybe is that my vista cds are rather new builds, will try maybe to install a vista no sp1

My Vista is SP1 DISK, that has nothing to do with it, ill try to get a list of the services i have disabled, i think that should help.

how do you turn off turbo on these bad boys? I put it on standard (there is standard extreme and turbo) still puts my multi at x21 when Im idle/superpi ing

These are my settings for a Prime stable i7 920 system at 200 x 20 with Turbo and HT Enabled.

VCore set to 1.46xx in Bios (VDroop brings it down to 1.408) And I believe I have Loadline Enabled. I'll look to confirm on my Reboot.

QPI/Vtt set to 1.375v

Dram Set to 1.66v

Everything else on Auto.

[GAR]

Nice cpu man, well 3.8ghz for daily use is perfect for me, requires very low voltages and performs great, i have settled at 3.8ghz and will stay here, anymore is just for benchmarks.

[Klarko]

Nice overclocking Kensek, what are you using for cooling?

[icecold316]

So finally all my parts have been ordered to complete my I7 Rig, hoping that it will arrive by Dec 5th.

My Rig : I7 920 - EX58-UD5 - 6Gb Corsair Dominator 1600Mhz - XFX 8800GTS G92 - CM 850W PSU.

The Gig is 4 sale.

I'm using a Swiftech GTZ with a 1366 adaptor sent to me from Gabe himself.

What bios are you using?

I think the Vcore is a little high IMHO what cooling solution are you using?? Also what are your temps over the long term? I ran prime at 5 minute intervals for 3 hours but it would always fail.. How long is prime stable?? Also I see your using XP I can always OC better on XP always I wonder i that would translate to Vista??

[Kensek]

Bios is F4c. The board can run BClk up to 196-197 at 1.36v. But then to go higher requires voltage increases in leaps and bounds.

Intel has published, and it is in the 100+ page booklet that comes in the i7 retail box, that the i7 can safely go to 1.55v.

I've also ran an Asus' P6T and a R2E.

Do you get the double boot problem on that bios?

Sorry I asked a bunch of questions that were already posted and what I meant to say about the Vcore is it's too high for Air but surely not for water...
