Cell-SHOCKS ag. DDR3-2000 7-6-5-18 1T Prime_Pi Stable

Yeah i suspected the divider might play apart in it on an ealier blitz extreme bios i couldn't get stable using 3:5 divider at known stable cpu clock speed... swapped to 1:2 divider and was stable.

Guess also depends on the NB strap set as some straps offer the same divider.

I might have overlooked the strap setting and that could have caused the difference...

Well, a difference between dividers ( max clock speed dependency on divider ) is there ( for sure ).
But I don't remember spotting ( well, didn't tried hard almost at all ) any difference in mem clocking with different CPUs.
But I think it's time to try some CPUs with the same board + settings to see if I can reproduce your findings [ the more you test, the more things you need to test ]

i think it was the strap, not 100% sure tho...

Saaya, i told u p35 was not so good with E6600, better with new stepping CPU such as 6420, 6750, 6850....

So now it's confirmed... i don't know why but E6600 is not loved by P35.. maybe some bios matter in recognizing the cpu step...who knows?
Kam

you had similar problems right?
did you try different straps for the 6600?

I used a E6600ES on the Blitz and a E6750ES on the P5K3. I wonder if that might have to do with it? I tested both CPUs for max stable FSB. The E6600 does 525 MHz and the E6750 510 MHz.

i hope i didnt kill that blitz man, im really sorry if i did
i keep thinking about it and maybe one of the smd caps on the nb package ripped off when the nb heatsink came off? other than that... no clue...

when i first booted it the fans were spinning fast, then rebooted and fans were slow, so the board still seems to be working somewhat as it apparently went to defaults after the initial boot didnt work.

does anybody know what a debug card error code of D4 "uncompressed data fault" or something like that means? Are there any tricks on how to reflash the bios? i booted with the mobo cd in the dvd drive and hoped it would load the bios but it didnt even start to read the sata dvd drive...

Btw, the stepping of the NB on that blitz board is

LE82P35
SLA9R
L717A231

same as your eva, right?

EDIT:
L715A337
vs
L717A231

15A vs 17A and 337 vs 231 does anybody know how to read intel chipset steppings?
I think the latter is the datecode since freaks board is older than yours eva, at least i think so...
