Yes, maybe different FSB has same for you, but not for me. A quick multi change to lower cpu speed @ same FSB and no problem. If it was voltage, setting 1.52 @ lower cpu speed would create same behavior..in my board it does not, ergo it can only be current. As to why the current induces this behavior is the only question, and due to the "EPU" that no other board "HAS" (at least does not install driver for this), I think we can call it case closed, and must await updated driver for "EPU". I didn't spend the last 24 hours on this for nothing, thanks.

What are you guys using too cool the SB when WC the NB ?

**EVisr** · 10-21-2007, 03:25 PM

Hey guys, new around here.

Picked up this board this weekend and been having no troubles at all for overclocking compaired to my last board the P5N32-E.

I couldn't even get stable at 2.8 GHZ before, now I'm at 3.6GHZ on this board without even looking. Will see if I can squeeze some more

Welcome to XS!!

I killed my P5K3 so I ordered this board instead. I was really keen to own the Blitz..but glad I waited

Been absorbing as much as possible between changing diapers and feeding the eating machines...lol

Hope to have it by the end of the week.

Has anyone found any negative issues running DDR2 1066 RAM like the OCZ Platinum on this board? Curious because I snagged 4 GB of that before I even knew I was getting the X38.

**tylerw13** · 10-21-2007, 03:54 PM

wow so i decided to push my q6600 go stepping to see what it could do with this mobo and i am very impressed i got it to 3.7 ghz with 1.5 v to my cpu...im water cooled and it doesnt get above 45c with load...im very impressed with this thing and this mobo i love x38 more and more every day!!

Antec 900 baby, the best cooling case period! ^^

**NapalmV5** · 10-21-2007, 11:21 PM

my rigs plans have changed so 2 x 16x pcie will hae to do and looks like this maximus will be a great new home for my old qx6700

before it'll go into service, will go through vapoLS approval

just these Qs before i place the order..

vcore max?
nb v max?
sb v max?
vmem max?

i gotta admit that it's a great case and all...BUT...when you stick two dual slot cards in that case with the power supply crowding the secondary card it gets kinda warm. Especially if you run high end cards. if the case was a full tower it would of been perfect! cough cough....Antec Twelve Hundred....

cpu: 2.4v

NB: too much.

SB: way too much.

VMEM:overkill.(3.3 or 3.4...)

OH SNAP that's a lot of voltage! When i saw that Kinc used 1.96v on his QX9650 i was amazed! and i think Fugger was saying he was using 2.34v on his. That's way too much voltage for the average user. Unless you're gaming with one hand and you're pouring LN2 with the other!

3.3v on memory and you're basically asking for dead memory.

oops.....i just realized that he was talking about what the board settings go to....my bad!

**NapalmV5** · 10-21-2007, 11:39 PM

lol for some mem 3.3v is the sweet G spot

**Crazypinoy9** · 10-21-2007, 11:43 PM

Lol!

Didn't regular DDR memory run at that voltage? I can't remember..it's been ages since i've seen one! LOL

**cadaveca** · 10-21-2007, 11:50 PM

Check page #1 for bios shots...

Ya i know the board will go to 3.4v but when will anyone really use that on DDR2?

Even for guys chasing WR's they usually just drop the memory speed and tighten the timings. I could be wrong but i don't think that they go anywhere near that high of voltage. Again...i could be absolutely wrong.

The max voltage my P5E3 goes to is about 2.78v but with a stock voltage of 1.9 @ 1600MHz i really don't need to go that much higher to hit 1800 or even 2000.

i noticed your join date so i guess u missed the ~4.0v ddr2 fun that was going on for some time

**cstkl1** · 10-22-2007, 01:14 AM

hmm my results with X6800, E6850 and Q6600 GO

sorry didnt want to post all those pics again but u can find that here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/537358

wish i had some e6850 gem. like some forrumers has.

Same thing happened with my PC but I did not have fresh install of windows.
I use Vista X64, and my problem was solved when I removed almost everything that came from mobo´s CD.

it happened to me as well i think it is something to do with the epu program or something like that that is on the dvd...there is an update to it on asus website and it states it can cause keyboards to stop working i didnt try it though...i just reinstalled everything and didnt install that program off the dvd!!

**BulldogPO** · 10-22-2007, 05:17 AM

Aha, I´ve gotta take a look on it.
Still Asus Probe 2 dont work with me.

**GAR** · 10-22-2007, 07:29 AM

ASUS probe works fine here, vista x64....download the one from the asus ftp.

**theonlybabyface** · 10-22-2007, 07:33 AM

Just make sure to disable the print spooler service as it seems to have issues with PC Probe II for some reason...that is unless you like to print.

**GAR** · 10-22-2007, 08:39 AM

yeah, i disable all the cr*p that vista 64 Ultimate has, i have around 29-33 process's running. from the stock 44 and up.............anyone know what TrustedInstaller.exe is??? i googled it, but nothing really about it....except it belongs to MS.
