Commando Results by Tony and Andre (and others...)

[oqvist]

I don´t know this board don´t seem 100 % stable...

Used to be stable as a rock but as of lately I get driver corruptions all the time???

running orthos for 10 hours you shouldn´t get driver corruptions when gaming you think...

[|2ed |ey]

So I flashed my bios to 0803 and start OC from defaults, everything was fine but occasionally, I will still get the reboot when exiting bios.

I was changing the voltages and after around one hour, the 'BEEP' occurs again. It only happens when exiting bios along with the reboot and when I switched off my pc(windows shutting down)

I am running E6600@3.45ghz ram4:5 blend test orthos 8hours last night.

What could be the problem?

Anyone??

[Viss]

The reboot is a feature, although annoying there's nothing you can do about it other then not changing settings in bios . If it could be fixed with a bios update that would already have been done dont you think?

beep issue when you reboot or shut down your system i suppose?

if that is the case, it is pretty common for commando even Asus is aware of it themselves.

It is probably due to the virbration of the coils when you power down your mobo...I have 3 commando before.. 1st one gives me constant beep when i shut down, 2nd is intermittent and the 3rd one finally does not have this beep

Try to see if you can sort out with your local distributor or shop that you bought from. See if they are willing to help.

Absolutely right. But my situation is first few times of reboot does not generate the beep.

But soon, the short 'beep' accompany the reboot and occurs when shutting down my pc.

Thanks bro.. will check that out. Did you get the 'beep' when you exit the bios after making changes?

yes, for fhe first 2 mobo as it shuts down to do a strap change or changing some voltage

[caboob]

Currently my rig is at 3.2 GHz but when I play games, the onboard sound doesn't seem to work right. Anybody experiencing this?

[Chosen.]

Are these voltages:



ok or too high, for this setup:



?

BIOS is 0803, the rest of the system is as per sig (ram 1/1) and all voltages are set to "Auto", except Vcore which is 1.4V and Vdimm which is 2V.

[caboob]

what your temps?

put in all voltages start low and up them if you start failing orthos

[deadlock7]

I cannot understand the reason that asus doesn't use the strap change option in bios like abit,dfi.It would be great..

[Supershanks]

yep i agree.

I'm pretty sure it does this to let the bios update the dmi pool. it only appears to happen on miner after adding new hardware &/or changing key bios settings.

@Chosen i'm happily running 9x400 24/7 & to be honest the only voltages i've manually set are vcore & vdimm, all others are on auto.

[ReaperX]

FSB Termination 1,3V
Nothbridge 1.35V (1,45 could be needed with 5:6 div)
A/B/Controller Ref voltage Auto
SB vcore 1,55V
SB Chipset 1,1V

These are the voltages I use up to 500+ fsb...

Cheers mate, the reason I asked is because I have a QX6700 and they tend to be more picky with fsb and they also stress the board more than C2Ds.

Anyone else with a quad to post their stable voltages for NB & FSB Term?

[oqvist]

I am getting the beep now . 350 fsb...

And I who just got my last watercooling stuff to get a silent computer

[Chosen.]

I have watercooling too and my pump has a fan-connector, for monitoring the rpm; I've connected that on the CPU fan header and I'm happy.
I can monitor my pump's rpm and I don't get the beep

[Supershanks]

sorry man hadn't read your siggy. Makes great reading too, hope u keep it up 2 date. will check it out next time i change mobos

I can monitor my pump's rpm

nice 1

@oqvist
Must admit 1 of the 1st things i checked when i fitted my loop a couple of weeks back was the buzzing/whistling, thought air cooling might have masked it, but i'm ok

[Atrin]

i cant pass orthos test..

with my old motherboard evga 680sli i can past 10h orthos with 1.44vcore but with commando i can't



Bios SS







what can i do

[sreedx2]

CPU TM function : disable it


all your voltages are quite high FSB VTT, NB, SB PCI, have you tried having them all lower than that

run them all lowest except NB at 1.3 to 1.4 maybe ?

[Supershanks]

Try on 1:1 1st then if that proives to be stable you kmow to focus on memory timings/volts to get to 4:5

i'm @1.55vcore for 3600(9x400) other than vdimm all other volts are auto.
you might try write to precharge at 12 if stilll struggling

luck

[oqvist]

Hope watercooling helps then lol.

btw have anyone been successful with running AHCI mode on the hard drives? Would like to test it because the IDE performance is really craptacular with this board at times...

[Chosen.]

Got this with 1.6V Vcore and 1.55V in the NB (suicide screenshot )
Finished Wprime 32M at 3950 and Cinebench at 3850.
Getting pretty hot under the hood atm, so I think I will continue my search for the QX's limits, in a colder night...




This is a great board overall, feels like it's made of cement. Stability-wise, I can only compare it with my XBX2 & AW9D, but performance-wise it just cannot be matched, by any of the boards that I owned (in my sig)

what can i do

I'd try ram voltage high up in 2v or mid 3v, ie 2.8-3.5v.

thanks.. i will try tomorrow

I'd try ram voltage high up in 2v or mid 3v, ie 2.8-3.5v.

but my ram's def volt is 2.1-2.2v 800 4-4-4-12 i dont think the problem is ram voltage but i will try this

any reason why other than frying it 2.3~2.5v maybe but mid 3v???
