XS Yonah T2600ES competition !!!

[kyosen]

Well people... mayb i have some really weird question.. In the manual there's nothing about the jumper (yellow) near the cpu

Does someone know what it does in other setting? Mayb this is our fsb wall?

OMEGA says that this jumper J1 is related to Vcore.
He found that J1 5-6 setting causes Vcore up(about +0.2V),
but this function works only at BIOS Vcore setting under 1.3V, he says.
I've not confirmed it myself, but Vigor says that he got same result.

Hail to Japanese, they are way ahead of us
we have a question, they have an anwser

[M.Beier]

Well, yeah. the Japanies are ahead, and I think they'll win, but keep in mind more than 50% of us still havnt got a freakin' board...

I had the same Question in Hardwareluxx Forums, but no answer jet.

I tried every setting, but still no more FSB.

Anyone got past 256FSB with step 4 cpu?

Step 4 seems to be much weaker

[irev210]

im stable at 3120 on air w/ all voltage settings on max, dual-prime stable for 9 hours.

ES or retail ?

[Chri$ch]

ES, retail is too expensive

[Waus-mod]

Its not the stepping that causes these problem.. also not es or retail.. i hopre mike gets out of sleep quick and has some nice information to share

[Gamer]

my guess it's the temp that's holding us back, installed watercooling (due to my mounting for Phase change doesn't fit) and gained 2 fsb in validation.

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=88228

so, how is this possible ?
never heard about that....

[DesertShooter]

Waus gained 2-3fsb, with 30c cpu temp to -150c cpu temp.

So

[Gamer]

don't know, maybe a bad cpu ?
others have to test this too, not just air ===> phase.

[wittekakker]

So there is something getting to hot :p

If the chipset is holding u back there is little u can do I guess.

[misteroadster]

Anybody can test Max FSB at differents Cpu temp (20/40/60°c) ? , by turning off the cpu fan and low Multi (10X).

[easypanic]

Ah, I can boot at 5 FSB more

[Dumo]

More cooling and voltage yield more Mhz

Not really

[Gamer]

that's true, only there could be a coldbug on some cpu's ?

just shooting darts here in mid air

[DaWaN]

If it's getting better under cold it's just a non-coldbug, AMD's HTT gets worse when chilled.
Anyway i'll stay at the point that these chips are designed to as less power as possible, by reducing FSB speed you can make the FSB part use less power. You can say the board is crap or yonah is crap, well, just keep in mind Yonah is designed as a laptop cpu. When you blame intel or Aopen well it isn't really fair. Ofcourse it a pain in the ass ! But when it's a fault of the motherboard (I don't think it to be honest, just because of the fact it seems very cpu dependent) you can blame Aopen. For now, well it just sucks ! But still a Yonah at 2xx mhz FSB is still hell fast

[s7e9h3n]

OK, I've noticed these cpu's to be a little erratic. They'll run to one speed at a certain time, and then they won't do it a second time. While I can boot at 3+G most every time, there are times where I can't even make it past the bios screen. It seems to me, if I can reach the speed, it will at least be able to finish a 1m run (except for one time). I played a bit more with the chip and it looks as if the newest bios helps a bit. When I mount the autocascade, I'm expecting much better numbers since I'm hoping the NB will freeze over Still on stock aluminum heatsink:

[Rol-Co]

Board arrived like almost everybody , T2600 es (ofcourse ) xp90 +90mm fan cooled.

looks like max cpu, becouse i get the "not exact in round" thing @ 244fsb
no mods

try'd lower multi but its not working good i think , aopen coo program give me still 3100mhz+ @ 10x 243,.......verry weard

score is ok i think.




ok Waus -mod you can ad it now..

[Gamer]

I've hit a solid wall @ 263 fsb on my modded prom.
262 = stable, 263 instant freeze

mounting could be better though, will look at it in the weekend.

results for now :

[misteroadster]

So, max FSB depends of the cpu temps ?
Can you try max FSB with 10X multi please ?

[Gamer]

looks like it...
I've tested with air, water and phase change, when temperature drops, fsb goes up.
so this means the board is fine, cpu is the limited factor....
