Issues with NForce 550 Chipset.

[gOtVoltage]

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Btw. Gigabyte responded to my question, they sended me a new Bios with some new options in the bios:


Does anyone know where those 'TRFC' things stand for and what they do? Props for such a fast respond with a new bios

Im curiouse but wouldnt TIMING @ 1T be a problem with that high of a FSB,i would suspect it to create more stress for the X2memory controler /Heat on the mobo .. @ 300fsb i hope you making shure that eggs dont burn on the 550 heatsink It needs to be kept nice and cool... they are know to fizzle/cook skin on fingers and have even shut down a pc i built a lil while back for a friend ....Since he has added a waterblock to the 550 it ran around 280-300fsb 78c under load..With out the watercooling it was Extremely hot like/ 128c under load for like prime and sp runs! You could smell the heatsink paste


I "used too use gigabyte", thier not bad but they shure dont run cool unless you have water on the 550..,Recomend Tforce550 =more stability for this class of mobo hands down.....

Besides that ,@300 and 1T it just may not like that combo ,I would try it with 2T and maybe ease the timming or set TRC 22 or higher untill you excede your goal of 300FSB, Im just going by your screenshot

Note: Trfc is the slot timing for memory .... 105,75,105,75 works pretty good depending on mobo and clock speed....For the most part i leave them on auto unless its last resort...
