did you try this cpu on X38 based motherboard ?

Last night i put the E8400 in Maximus. That board did 590mhz FSB with E6600 on dice but now im having a hard time booting over 500. Wil let you know how it goes, rather sure im missing a setting

loco, what are you bios settings for the 590+ FSB on commando ? i.e. Asus CGI and Static read set to ?? sub timings ?

**Viss** · 01-29-2008, 07:32 AM

Volts in pic with Probe. CGI & Static read disabled (almost sure wil check later at home). Subtimings default (5-5-5-15-42-10-10). Wil try if it wil do the same with a little less volt and/or tighter timings. Slooooow 32M but no tweaks and the apps open. Volts:

interresting actually, i got the same problem ala x38, 500 is the limit to get into windows, 550 i can post without problem, really seems like a chip flaw...

Im gonna change board, but no idea to what? i got ddr3 so it must be that.

**Blasar** · 01-29-2008, 08:24 AM

Great results loc.o.

Your CPU is asking for something colder, so don´t let her/us down

It makes harder to choose a Q9450 over these E8***, but as an addicted to F@H, my choice is final, unless i get a pair of theses

**eva2000** · 01-29-2008, 08:37 AM

amazing cpu then loco, i flashed to 1605 bios still no better fsb on my E8500 .. weird is only high fsb >540FSB on first bios save/exit, subsequent save/exit of bios on high fsb results in hang with LCD display at DET DDRAM heh

I am not surprised that the Maximus can't keep pace with the Commando

After my experience in this thread, I think your Commando is even more of a freak motherboard thatn my P5B-D.

Wow, I thought my 600FSB under stock cooling is impressive. But what you are doing here

**Viss** · 02-28-2008, 09:53 AM

A rather fast look at another E8500. Q746A363. Seems to do a bit better then me other one. Only single channel and no tweaks.
