After about 25 reboots and changing 1 setting / reboot I´m good to go again.
Im still on 0902 but it seems to work now.

CPU: 450x8
RAM: 600Mhz (1200mhz ddr) CL 5-5-4-5-2-25 @ 2.15v
STRAP: 400Mhz

At last! Bleh @ this bios.

Hints: After the bios update I went into the bios. Told it to set default. Then i changed the strap to 400 -reboot-. 2nd change was mem ratio to 3:4 -reboot- Then i started playing with fsb and

I wonder how much performance you're losing by running at the higher/looser strap

@Grnfinger: no go on both ftp attempt, and the http download.

Shawn, go into the preferences in Everest and down the bottom somewhere is a thing forn 3rd Party apps, go into that and tick the sensors you want to share.

**Eastcoasthandle** · 11-29-2007, 05:46 PM

Checked under:
-Preferences
-External Applications:
Enable shared memory must be checked
Enable writing sensor values to Registry unchecked
Enable writing sensor values to WMI unchecked

Is it easy to get 600MHz dram frequency with 4, 1 gig sticks using Corsiar PC8500 ram?

Ok I have alittle drop. There are with everything at AUTO. Will try overclocking again.

**S1mon-** · 11-29-2007, 09:48 PM

Anyone knows what is the average required NB voltage for 475 FSB on a quad core? And also vFSB?

Thanks

**leoftw** · 11-29-2007, 11:17 PM

ordered on the 29th and my motherboard will be here tomorrow . motherboardpro ftw!!

**Arcanedeath** · 11-30-2007, 12:13 AM

I just ordered one of these on Monday and it Just arrived Today, I'm going to breakdown my system and replace my malfunctioning P5k Deluxe (grr SATA port issues) and see how far I can Push my B2 Xeon 3060, since my issues w/ the P5k eating all 4 sticks of my PC8500 balistix I hope I have better luck w/ the Maximus Formula

**pushook** · 11-30-2007, 12:23 AM

can someone tell me where to get this OCCT read out/report above?
couldn´t find this sheet after testing.

thx pushook

**Eastcoasthandle** · 11-30-2007, 12:55 AM

I wish someone would clearly answer this question as a lot of people are not finding Ram voltages.

All I know is that you start everest, go to preferences go to:
-External Applications:
Enable shared memory must be checked
Enable writing sensor values to Registry unchecked
Enable writing sensor values to WMI unchecked

There is no option for dram voltage. There is no option for dram voltage charts.

**Warboy** · 11-30-2007, 01:37 AM

So, I tried the Auto setting and it seems to fix the problem of those huge voltage drops, but I'm still working on it. I got my system at 420x9 at 1.45 volts

for those now just getting the board

hey Safan, Do you know what Error Code 4 means? or does anybody know what it means

And Can someone get a Link to download OCCT Pro if anybody has it.

yup.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/24...cct-test-error
codes 1,2,3,6: calculation error, bad for you
codes 4,5: OCCT memory management error (bad for OCCT)
codes 7 and 7+: OCCT bugs

WTF!!!!!!

Well, i'm stumped on this now. I have emailed Auzentech support and will see what they have to say about it.

I have tried both PCI slots. No PCI slots. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and patch. Nil. Diddly squat.

thx, i have read it and checked the boxes but i only get charts from everest not like this shown above from "shawn".

i think i have also problems with my rams and i would figure out if its the big vdrop.

my sys is running @ 420x9 and is not possible to be stable longer than 2hours. It´s only OCCT stable. And this is curious!!

I have 2x1G corsair XMS2-8500 rig but it´s not possible to run @ this oc @ 200/266/333 strap the only way to be OCCT stable is @ 400 strap with 840Mhz. 1051Mhz is not bootable. my goal is to stay @ 420x9 Prime stable but for me its like a wall.
