Some magic with 4:5 div (magic+clockgen+MemSet)

I'm not sure but I had the same issue. I held the same cpu for 3 motherboards and had the same results on all of them. Basically, I was trying for 8x450=3600 on an e6400, and it'd sometimes be able to prime for 24+ hours. But it'd crash sometime later. Sometimes it'd be before 24 hours. Everything was pointing to overstressed power delivery to the cpu, but 3 motherboards ruled that out, and I've tried several power supplies. I later got a different cpu that can do 8x450=3600 on all 3 motherboards. Same amount of voltage.

Try narrowing down the problem. What if you keep everything including voltages the same and just drop the multiplier down to 6x or 7x or something low?

im using 333FSB for my 24/7 settings.

CPU +137.5mv (CPU 333x10)
Vdimm 2.2v (2:3 DDR2-1000 @ 4-4-4-10)
NB 1.25v
SB 1.5v
SB05 1.05v

even until 400FSB NB1.25v is stable for me.

Im not quite sure with a Q6600 though. :P hehehehe

i got to prime for 12 hrs again... my just adding .25mv of vcore


what kind of timing are you using to achieve 4 4 4 10, my comp would boot at ddr2 1000 at those timing

Some magic with 4:5 div (magic+clockgen+MemSet)

I'm messing around with mine right now on the 4:5 div. Booty up from bios and not doing anything special expect the crazy amount of voltage on the NB (1.8v).

Hey guys, a big thanks to Trax, he has lent me his E6700 to play around with got some great scores and pics to show, and one real scary one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cQB3Chzse4






Ok here is an updated score to my name. 3Dmark 2001



Sis Soft Sandra memory bandwidth test



SuperPI 1M -------- 12.485s



Oh then my little scary moment if i was to bench for another 30mins or so less, this would have gone onto my board...



Coolbeans been a good run, im very happy with my scores

[Counter CS]

Why you use 2.31v for 5-5-5-15 2T only 456Mhz ?

[keenan]

I realy think there must be different revisions of this board. Mine does wonders with a E2160 (100% Overclock) but with my Q6600 GO I cant even boot into windows above 333FSB. I have seen many Q6600's hit 3,6 Ghz + on this board, but I have tried everything, no luck

[ziddey]

have you tried a different q6600 g0 / that cpu in a different board?

Personally, my dfi isn't all too great either. But I tried my new e6750 g0 in a abit ip35e and it also hit similar fsb wall issues.

[keenan]

With this board, my chip can post at 4Ghz + but it wont boot into windows, it just reboots at the vista loading screen at anything above 3Ghz, nothing helps, not Voltage increase...nothing

Getting a Gigabyte P35-DS3P in the morning, will see how it goes with that, hoping for something good

[keenan]

Can someone help me with this, every time I run Orthos for stress testing, my onboard usb devices goes crazy, external hard drive goes on and off as if someone is switching it on and of, tried a flashdrive, Ipod...all the same.

What can cause this...?

ALso, what prog. do you guys use to measure voltages..?

[ridikolous]

im in the same boat... i cant clock pass 330 fsb.. with everything i tried still no go.. try a different mobo.. like a p35 chipset to see how it goes.. i also want to know if you have success with that gigabyte board.. if yours do good i might pick up a abit p35 pro.

[keenan]

New motherboard is comming in a couple of hours, will let you know haw I get on, lets keep our fingers crossed

[The Nemesis]

@keenan
My G0 did not do as well with this board as my b3. My b3 was 3.3ghz 12hrs prime stable @1.36v on air and 3.5ghz @1.53v on water and 3.7Ghz 3Dmark06 Stable. I sometimes think it doesn't like the G0 stepping. I'm using the 424 bios, what r u using?

[keenan]

I have tried them all mate, tried 2 different GO's.

With my current setup, this board starts @ 450 x 9. So it posts at anything up to 4.2Ghz, but anything over 333Fsb wont boot into windows

I have tried everything, lowered my multy to 7x to try more FSB, not a chance

After getting this new Gigabyte P35-DS3P I might invest in some nice branded Ram. Crucial Ballistix 6400 C4 maybe

i just need 1.5 , i'm on 3-26 bios...

4:5 is not the divider to use with this board. NB voltage will most likely be maxed out before 450 FSB is reached.

Quadcore clocking requires patience and perseverance. And then it's all in balancing the settings to work at that particular FSB.

Have a look staring at post #22.

Still no luck mate, sappose its just luck of the draw with these boards.

[Praz]

I'm not saying use those settings. It was meant as an example how each setting needs to be explored in depth and one at a time. The board I did that on really sucks for quadcore usage. Still was able to end up with a good 24/7 configuration with low voltages. Took a couple of days to finally reach that. Most all the voltages are interdependent on each other.

[keenan]

Yes, I know, just thought I'd give em a try. Just got my Gigabyte P35-DS3P. Gonna see if things look any better for the Q6600

[fireice2]

i got to prime for 12 hrs again... my just adding .25mv of vcore

any luck yet? keep us posted

[keenan]

Ok, I'm gonna post the Gigabyte P35-DS3P's results in this thread if its ok...?

First off all. At stock settings, this board is alot more responsive and the whole feeling of it is just more....well. It just feels as if its a beast, made to perform.



Here are stock temps on idle:




Stock temps load:

[ziddey]

nice. i take it fsb scaled better on that than dfi?
