    q-fan doesnt work when overclocking, however you should be able to adjust fan speeds using pc probe. must be done manually at every boot though.

    Sorry, NB Volts n OC(crazy) is at 1.62V... Gonna retry tests on manual 1.85V.
    Whoa, you might wanna rethink that 2.0v on PLL... good way to kill something

    Try 1.5-1.6v

    WHAT?!?!?!?! That's completely absurd! I thought that I had it working from the BIOS when I had my P5K....
    Seriously though man my Abit motherboard could adjust fan speeds in the OS.....in real time. That's so weak if it's true.....
    I really wish that I would've waited for the Abit.

    I reach 3.6 GHz stable





    VCore is not an optimal value, I think lower value is possible.

    I tested for stability @ 4GHz (1.55Volts for VCore), OCCT runs five minutes withouth stability issues, but the temperature is too high to continue the test.

    Yes, its a solution, but isn't be risky for the cpu? What the max temp which can it support?

    Yeah, I only adjust one setting at a time, when it gets tricky is when one setting can be upped while another can be downed to compensate. Thanks for that, because it appears thats what was hanging the system. CpuPLL is now 1.6V, and its "stable" playing Bioshock which is only my 2nd "real world" test. 1st is 3dMark2006. Now it's time to start using Prime95 eh? What is PLL anyway? I only know of a Phased Lock Loop from electronics

    The PLL is a frequency generator, wich it can modulate frequencies. The original frequency delivered by a quartz clock.

    Enabling BOTH CE1 and EIST/Speedstep, Vista just drops the multiplier, dont touch the vcore (0401 BIOS).


    My new Asus Extreme rig
    Q6600 (EASY) OCed to 3ghz (333 buss)
    Ultra 120-Extreme w/Nexus realsilent fan (no need to mod fan for mounting)
    4GB Ballistix 8500 DDR2 (not-OCed)
    Antec 182 Gun-metal case (all 3 fans set to medium, door closed)
    Asus 8800GT (default speeds)
    Vista Ultimate 64bit
    1 WD Raptor X 150GB
    1 WD Caviar SE 16 750GB

    Everest Ultimate stats:
    CPU: VCore set in BIOS to 1.250, idles at 1.21 and under full load w/ OCCT 1.81 volt
    CPU: idle/stepdown temps at ca 32 C, OCCT full load ca 47 C

    VERY happy with both the low volt and temps. Have not tried going lower in core volt.

    NB: idle temp at ca 41 C, OCCT full load ca 49 C
    SB: idle temp at ca 41 C, OCCT full load ca 46 C

    GPU: idle ca 46 C

    Disks: Idles at ca 32 C

    SuperPI 1M (one session): 17.3 secs

    3DMark06 (1600x1200, no AA, nvidia gfx settings set to quality):
    10585 3DMarks (4239 CPU mark)
    OCing from default 2.4GHz only gave a 3DMark boost of about 200.


    Looks like I can easily OC the CPU alot more, but dont feel the need yet. UT3 demo with all set to max and 1600x1200 is slicker as snott

    Memory Stability Problems

    I thought I would quickly post my experience with this motherboard.

    Assembled machine with an E6850 and 4GB of Kingston HyperX PC8500 memory. No matter what I tried, could not get the memory stable on this motherboard at any speed or by adjusting any of the BIOS settings. I had two pairs of memory, and it is highly unlikely all 4GB sticks were faulty. I had tried individual sticks, 1 pair, and 2 pair. The sticks were stable in a different brand motherboard and passed memtest86 without any problems there.

    I ended up purchasing 4 1GB Corsair PC8500 and right from the start those were stable. The only adjusting I had to do with the BIOS is set the RAM to 2.2V and specify the speed at 1066--everything else set to AUTO. RAN OCCT and PRIME95 for two nights and had no problems.

    Anyone else have luck with Kingston memory on this board? My experience was very bad and spent many hours trying to fiddle with the BIOS and had no success.

    Hi,

    wich Memory should i buy for Maximus Formula?

    At moment i use 4x 1GB (2x Kit) Corsair Twinx2048 XMS2-6400C4 Rev. 2.1@2.1V, but i can't get it stable under Vista x64.

    Tonight (MET) i will buy new Memory. 2x2 GB in a Kit, but wich Memory works at Maximus Formula perfect?

    What i need:

    1. 100% stable Memory for Dualchannel + option to extend to 8 GB (4x2 GB)
    2. DDR2-800 who can make 450-500 MHz (to overlock Q6600 to 3400GHz)
    3. Latency 5-5-5-15/18 @ 500 MHz

    thanks for help

    I might add that 1.6v in bios uses 1.7v on PLL....I usually set mine to 1.5v

    i set to 1.5v(lowest) on CpuPLL in bios, 423x9=3.8G, both prime and occt stable!
    since my system is stable in this lowest setting, it is unnecessary to set it higher to produce more heat!

    Hi, here http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=669218 they are selling version 2 of this motherboard. Dunno the difference, perhaps someone else does?

    People should stop screaming they got a stable OC at for exemple 3.9GHz because OCCT Auto on a 30 mn test said that.
    Please read through this topic, and use some varried testing software. OCCT RAM and CPU mode are the only way to go. CPU mode is for CPU and RAM for NB-RAM. If you read the thread, you'll see that is difficult to get OCCT RAM stable on this board. Alternatively, use Prime95 small FFT for CPU, but Blend mode in Prime95 is far less efficicient than RAM mode in OCCT

    Also, update OCCT to last beta. Just read this long thread, and you'll find the link.

    My little advice, to new comers in OC world (yep, 30mn testing can't be claimed to be a stable OC)

    If your really going to complain about memory stability go use Memtest Windows version or the Dos version.

    wich Memory should i buy for Maximus Formula?

    At moment i use 4x 1GB (2x Kit) Corsair Twinx2048 XMS2-6400C4 Rev. 2.1@2.1V, but i can't get it stable under Vista x64.

    Tonight (MET) i will buy new Memory. 2x2 GB in a Kit, but wich Memory works at Maximus Formula perfect?

    What i need:

    1. 100% stable Memory for Dualchannel + option to extend to 8 GB (4x2 GB)
    2. DDR2-800 who can make 450-500 MHz (to overlock Q6600 to 3400GHz)
    3. Latency 5-5-5-15/18 @ 500 MHz

    thanks for help
