One question: with this board, with C1E and EIST enabled, when you change the vcore to 1,50v for example, at idle, what does the processor do? Change multiplier+voltage, or only multiplier?

Thx

Can you post your settings using the "template" provided above? Many issues with 4 sticks on this chipset...got my third board that will not run 4 sticks with default settings.

Fugger assured me this was a non-issue...but I've yet to find a solution for running 4 sticks without errors...got same issues on Giga-DQ6 too.

My rams do 1142mhz @ 2.1v...prime blend stable, so it ain't the ram...even more towards it being the chipset/bios is the fact that two sticks work jsut fine(also giga board exhibiting same symptoms points in this direction as well...)

You, too, Hornet...I realize you're runinng jsut 2 sticks...but...

Hi, did I not reply that I am running 4 x 1gb sticks at 1066 with default settings, does this help in anyway?

Cedar Mill 533MHz FSB works on this board as long as you don't touch any of the memorysettings (including dividers)

So it's quite funny to test a $30 Celeron together with a $250+ mobo


7473MHz validated @ ~2v

Also a U20 1M:

Not really. maybe if you could post what bios says it set timings to...need to know which ram you are runnig as well.


Errors here happen at same address regardless of what ram is installed. Tming adjustments make only minor difference..still errors, but get less errors...errors are lessened with an increase of chipset volts..haven't tried over 1.45 tho...I see 450 @ 1.7v here tho..so more playing to be done. haven't tried two sticks in other slots to see if it's the slots either...

Kind of off topic but, will the P35 and X38 both work with Nehalem CPU do out Q2 2008?

[cadaveca]

P5k box says supports 45nm cpu's, so you'd think so...

[hornet]

Obrigado. Que memoria? (Don't speak portugal... ).

OCZ DDR2 PC2-9200 Reaper HPC Edition

vDIMM 2.32v

Not tried memset or prime yet but 32M runs fine. Ballistix PC8500 and Cellshock PC8000c4. Just set vcore and vdimm (probably could do with less) and 5-5-5-15 rest = auto, just to see if it would run:

ok, just got the g.skill 4gb ddr1000 from newegg, and it booted up first try, stock settings at 1066, that seems to be the limit, but for 4gb's its a great kit

[hornet]

@loc.o

You wc in fusion block?

[Viss]

Stock heatsink no water or fan. Its on me desk though not in a closed case.

[GAR]

This is what i have so far..............memory is the new g.skill DDR2 1000 4gb set

[STaRGaZeR]

Nice GAR, can you reach 550Mhz? Latency doesn´t matter here. And also how they respond to voltage?

I havnt tried any higher but im sure it will do 550, most likely that will be the max for this kit, either way i like it very much, im happy for 200 bucks couldnt get better.....as far as voltage, doesnt respond well, 2-2.1 is where you want to stay. 2v is enough for this kit.

[zsamz_]

loco how high can you go on 4 sticks ty

OK. When I get my kit i´ll post my results. Hoping for that 1100Mhz.

[SuperMiguel]

This is what i have done so far:
Vcore = 1.6v
CPU PLL = 1.8v
NB = 1.730
DRAM = 2.2v
FSB T. = 1.6v
SB = 1.175
SB 1.5v = 1.850

And my mult is set to 9x and my fsb to 445, so im running 4.0 Ghz, it will boot but is not stable my temp idle is 48C.... What can i do?? what should i change? thanks

no answer??

[hornet]

Stock heatsink no water or fan. Its on me desk though not in a closed case.

Good temperatures, I am with ~50ºc (passive).

Tomorrow I go to place wc in fusion block.

[Pete]

no answer??

Whats ya cooling

[GAR]

Im Lovin this board.........anyone else with me? i think im going to ebay my 8800GTX next month and go for a 2950XT crossfire setup.....only if they can proove to be good cards.

Nehalem is a complete socket change no?

[GAR]

Nehalem is a complete socket change no?

yup.

[Pete]

Nope it's also ment to be in LGA 775 but has it's own NB built in

[GAR]

i heard its using socket 1208 or something like that.

[SuperMiguel]

Whats ya cooling

im using water cooling. thermochill p120.3 and a fuzion block and 1/2" tubing
