I for the life of me cannot get the G.SKILL 6400HZ to post - I keep getting a C1 error and it is pissing me off as they can do 1200 at 2.4v and I know that they are good. updated to latest beta bios FYI

Go back to the official recent Bios

thats a no go on the memory and i set the BIOS mem voltage to 2.2v and it was a no go

do u have 4gb? either way take all the memory out. do a full clear CMOS. Then try updating to 11 offcial bios with these handles. Example

awdflash m629b_11.bin /cd/cp/cc/py/cks/sn/wb/e

power down, if u have 4 gb just boot with 2 sticks..set your voltage. reboot put the rest of ur sticks in. it should work

i had the C1 hang for the first time on a brand new ip35. that cleared up the issue

Not trying to make you look bad but...... NO SPACING BETWEEN SYNTAX'S IS NO GOOD!


When Flashing from DOS and using Switching/Parameters I always flash twice this way everything gets written over twice and produces a cleaner Flash with less chance of anything not taking properly and less chance of failure! Remember Do a FULL Clear Cmos before flashing! That means remove the Battery, place the Jumper to clear Position, and Move the Clear Cmos Switch on the back of the Mobo to clear position and DO NOT set you're Ram Voltage to man spec just load optimized defaults once you power on after Clearing Cmos Before Flashing! Make sure you use a PS2 Keyboard for the Flash too!

What I find that works best when Flashing Bios is these switches for this board in this order and a added switch /E which returns you to A:\ Prompt at that time I repeat the Process and FLASH a second time to make sure that all Parameters were Overwritten and Updated properly, which in return results in a cleaner Flash!

AWDFLASH.EXE M629B_11.BIN /CD /CP /CC /PY /CKS /SN /WB /E

After second Flash Power Down Manually and REPEAT the Clear Cmos Process you did prior to Flashing ...Please

whatever! iam lazy. but yes when doing the actual flash you could use spacing.

Spincycle...This board seem to have problems with waterblocks cos from what ive seen its peeps with WC thats having problem of boards not booting..... Guessing code 8.7? Thought I was overtightening them before but not so sure now cos Im on my 6th board..... Seem to happen a few days after I flash the bios so Im sticking to the stock one for a while....

As for the voltmod, I find placing a couple of layers of electrical tape just below the solderpoint really helps... it also makes sure you dont let the same wire touch both sides of the resistor.... I used a cheap $10 iron but it came with a fairly pointed tip, I think the most important thing is to have a clean tip everytime you use it.... and never let the gun touch the resistor too long, the solder should melt as soon as you touch it.....

I think your on to something lulhed. I dont use WC on any area of the board. But this board seems very senstive to FLEX. I had to rma my board because i over did it when i did the bolt through mod for the heatpipes, iam postive that is why my board was being flakey. Ive since done the mod again, withless torque, and all is fine..flex is non existent.

Maybe time for a RMA and the purchase of a backplate to stop the flexing of the board. Really wish i could figure this problem out. Ive loosenedd the CPU WC block screws as much as possible and still no go.

Edit: going to check for a grounding issue somewhere in the case. maybe that could be whats causing the 8.2 error code, i highly doubt its the pcp&c

2x1GB sticks I set voltage with my patriot 6400llk and then swap out memory and that doesn't work and neither does clearing cmos and unplugging all power then restarting after a bit - I know the sticks are good but what am I to do

ON 11 BIOS - BACK from the latest BETA BIOS - nothing helped now cpu temp is not registering in BIOS or uGuru in windows though coretemp works

hmm why dont u try running the board outside of the case, use a box. and just lay the antistatic bag down under the board. use only one stick of ram. And reflash the bios if u can post at all, with the parameter switchs that we posted earlier, dont know what else really to tell you. have u tried another psu?

would it make a difference if the HZ was an early model - not the recent ones - I bought them about a year ago at about 340 USD

I doubt it is the PSU - for that I am sure I will play with it for an hour or so and get back to you

Mine are as old as that, 4Gb at 900 1T cas4 no problem.

If I'm not mistaken, clockwise lowers resistance, counter clockwise increases resistance.

That's going to depend on which legs they've used. I prefer to have clockwise increase resistance, more logical to me.

i highly doubt its the pcp&c

So do I from a power POV, just doing a quick head count. My 510 SLi is running the quad at 3.8GHz, 4GB ram, 5 HDD, 9x120mm fan, 8800GTX@660/2200, et al. And the voltage hardly moves at all.
