How do you guys place some pics of yous system along with your posts, I took some pics of my new W/C set up for you guss to see. When I click insert image it asks me for a url ?????? I thought I could just copy and paste frome one of my files. Can you guys guide me.

You have to up them to a provider or host where you can store ya piccies then you add the url to the image link... and the piccie will pop up

http://www.abload.de/
It`s a german site Image-Hack servers are to busy most of the time
There you can upload a picture for a period of time, don`t ask me how long
Choose the "Durchsuchen"-Button and select your picture from your hd, cd or sth. and klick the "Hochladen"-Button.
After that you will get a few URLs from what you choose "Thumbnail für Foren (1)" and copy the URL to the right and paste it here in your reply.

You have to use the third link from the top, not the 5. from the top. Try out these links you get after uploading by edeting one of your posts here and use preview function. And use only one link every time, don`t put more links together.

OK last one

[Leeghoofd]

How are the temps Jorgito5 ? NB, SB and CPU when under load ? And just 4 your info you can put all the pics in one post and delete the others

[leoftw]

I fixed one of your pics. Looking good

Damm you guys are good, your going to have to show me how to do that. Also how do you guys get more tan one pic, the hml provider only lets me post one at a time.

Vcore v=1.312
SB v=1.07
SB2 v=1.54
Dram v=1.97
NB v=1.36
CPU temp.= (24C on Probe II) Reads 32c in bios
MB temp= 32c same in bios
NB temp= 33C same in bios
SB temp= 35C same in bios
PWR fan = 1070 rpm (3) 12cm fans 1 in front 2 in back
1 80 mm on side pointing at ram

Bios set to Auto on all for now, just got this together.
Does overvolt the dram should be 1.8v

Bios 0907

Did set voltages on manual for a while:
CPU to 1.2
SB to 1.1
NB to 1.3
Dram to 1.8

Dram v showed 1.87 both in bios and probe
CPU temp 28c in bios and something like 18C ???????? in probe

Leads me to beleve that v. affects probe temp readings.

Also I notice when settings are in auto in bios, and I go to the OS and iniciate probe, for a split second the temp reading on the CPU read 32c same as bios, then inmediately change to 24c. Again I think probe is afected by voltage fluxes.

[ElEctric_EyE]

Just got back from vaca and tried 0907. Kept same settings from 0903, and did my standard 1st test of 5 min full CPUload under OCCT. Everest was monitoring all the temps. CPUtemp was way low. The 4 Core temps read same as in 0903. 0903 & 0907 are on ASUSs's website (&FTP) so I guess they passed QC?

[GFORCE100]

IMHO Asus fixed the CPU temp issue in BIOS 907 as the temps now are much much much more believable on my Q6600 at 3.825GHz at 1.38V.

Secondly, I'm somewhat puzzled by why some of you have having high NB/SB temps. On mine it's 44C for the NB at most (priming) and say 33C for the SB. How on earth you guys get to 61C is puzzling. The only fact remaining would be to say the NB HS must not be making good contact with the NB IHS.

I had a similar incident on my Abit IP35 PRO, did the bolt mod and my temps dropped by around 10C (PWM).

[FZ1]

I don't see anything out of whack with my temps on 0903 except the core temps may be reading *a little* high. From everything I've seen, the 0907 temps are good except the core temps are way low.

[GFORCE100]

...From everything I've seen, the 0907 temps are good except the core temps are way low.

Core temps on mine with BIOS 907 are about 63/63/68/68 @ 3.825GHz @ 1.38V with a TRUE 120 Ex 2000rpm Scythe fan under Prime95 25.5 Small FFT.

They don't seem low to me, about right in fact, or above average even.

The newer BIOS's are supposed to enable the PECI (or what's it called) interface to read temps accurately, but on mine it doesn't seem to cause problems.

At 3.6GHz I get temps around 50/50/55/55 but that's at 1.27V.

When you use abload.de, just open this site more times to upload more than one pic.

Coretemps are the same like with Bios 0903 aren`t they!? Only cpu(overall) temp is much too low with 0907!

Or are there any guys, who have other core temps than with bios 0903? I have only seen too low cpu overall temp.

[FZ1]

Mine are reading ~50 at load and I'm only running 1.35v on water so that seems a little high to me.

[eSp!s0]

Do you know your core temps with 0903? How high have you clocked your cpu? The temperature not only gets higher because of higher voltage, it also gets higher with a higher cpu clock.

[FZ1]

I'm at 7 x 450 so it's a pretty good clock over 7 x 333. Still seems a little high to me but maybe I need to reseat my block.

[KALISPIMENTA]

I'm getting my board today. Should i change the thermal paste before anything?

Hi!

I bought the Maximus Formula SE and fired it up with a C2D 6850.
So here are my problems I've:

- I can only leave the Vcore setting on auto (or set it manually to a value 1,325 or less). All values above will lead to no boot. The auto value sets it to 1,325 (BIOS and CPUZ show this value)

- My NB temp is even idle at around 57 C and at full load even around 65C+.

I use default coolings (no watercooling installed) on NB. I've no problem with CPU temp. I use the Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme with a Scythe S-FLEX 1200, 120x120x25mm cooler. I also use 2 casecoolers (both 120 mm) and only top quality components (Enermax Infinity 650 Power supply, Corsair RAM, ...).


Concerned with my NB temp I searched Intel page for X38 specs. The official Intel NB max temp is over 90 C, so my temp is fine and I've no probs with stability (ran all kinds of tests over 48 hours with CPU overclocked 435x8 setting)
So I wonder how u guys get NB temps about 45 C loaded and all talk about unstability with temps over 50 C. T&#37;his isn't true, as my example and official Intel document proves.

Even without OCing my NB temp is in Idle far above 50C, and this in a well cooled room and 100% stable running....
someone confirms this NB temps and also have this strange behavier with only auto set vcore working?
