did your board die since you had a china version and did not flash to the current bios?

All my voltages were behaving nicely and I had no problems until now... hopefully I can negotiate a cross ship with DFI :\

EDIT: just got around to checking the box, my board was from Taiwan....

Hi. This might be a dumb question, but when people are referring to using 1.4-1.5v,is this referring to the cpu vtt? My ctt is at 1.222 right now, and I am having issues getting to 3.8 with my g0 q6600(I'm at 3.4 stable now),and I'm thinking it might be the cpu vtt. However,I'm not sure what a good limit is, I don't want to fry my 6600.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

you can run the vtt safely up to about 1.65-1.7, when using x9 multi for 3.905 i used 1.62x volts on my vtt

[Origin_Unknown]

ive got 1.5v cpu and 1.50000v vtt on my 6600

[flexy]

i know there is some around..but thread got long. Can someone please post good overall bios settings for Q6600@3600+ ? Is this a good goal:

400x9 (DIV4:5!!) 8,000MB/s bandwidth (mem@500) ??

thanks

Can anyone do a screenshot of the transpiper "in action"? Also does it really help a lotor is it just 2-3 degrees difference?

setfsb is CY28551LFXC

i think mounting an hr-05 on pwm heatsink will do a better job
just need to drill 2 holes in the hr-05 i love drilling holes lol
hr-03=18$ transpiper=30$
+ exhaust fan will do xtra cooling
next time i place an order @ ncix i gonna get 2 of em

Waiting for ddr3 edition

Waiting for ddr3 edition

i'll wait for ddr3 prices to drop n get the x68 lol

guys, i need help quick before i save my current bios settings:

I saw the settings by PRAZ and by some other guys and i am using them.

But on the "Clock Settings Fine Delay Page" i cant select the values they have in their bios templates

Eg.

Clock Setting Fine Delay Page
Ch1 Clock Crossing Setting................More Aggressive
DIMM 1 Clock fine delay...................Current 89ps


For Dimm 1 Clock Fine Delay i cant set it that low, and i also have no way to set it to 89 !!
They're at default and tehre is a value like 1400 (WAY over the 89 !!)

btw. i have 2x2 Gigs OCZ Plats 2 XTC which should be about with the 2x2GB Skill 4GBPQ, maybe a bit better.
The XTC have the same chips as the ReaperX btw. Help !

Georg

(btw. latest bios from dfi.tw)

Hey guys, thanks the hard work and all for the great information in this thread.

Just pulled the trigger on this board, e8400, and 2G Ballistix 8500($25 rebate =$68).

Its my first Intel build in 4yrs, so if anyone has other suggestions, please let me know. Should be here early next week. Really looking forward to it.

the fine delay changes with every kit of memory so u dont want to set those if u dont know what u are doing (like me, ive got the cpu side but the ram past the 1st page no clue)


and the latest bios gave me problems and i think it has to do with the TW Vs china board i have a TW and it came with a bios labeled "(X38ADB28) EVALUATION ROM - NOT FOR SALE", and "X38AD111" was giving me problems, what version dose the china come with, it may just be 2 bioses

[flexy]

the first thing i did was to flash the latest X38Ad111 bios (china board). No problems here.

[flexy]

Guys!!

Confusion.

I used the settings by PRAZ with

--> 8x450

DRAM Spd 333/800

So...8x450=3600

WTH does memtest as well as everest say i am running at 4GHZ????

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying not to use Ballistix for memory.

it didnt detect a multi change it goes by the default x fsb

[PhilDoc]

Very nice, went to motherboardpro's site to check the status and they lower the price of the board $20 to $249.

Memtest and quite a few other programs read the native multiplier of the processor instead of what is actually set in the BIOS. The correct version of Everest will read correctly though.

thanks praz! got a later one now.

Edit: Got the board and evrything running...HD i will get tomorrow (BUMMER)...but i am testing on bootable CDs w/ everest and memtest etc. So far so so good. More testing tomorrow once i install Vista64 and can do some OCCT runs. I know things might look different under 64bit. Btw. those new OCZ 2x2GB sticks are the same as ReaperX..maybe someone has optimized settings for those? What bandwidth should i expect to see in everest?

[CERO]

Any1 who got this board and also owned the P35 T2R? If so Which 1 is better?

[flexy]

anyone settings for 2x2GB ReaperX...like 8x450 333:800?

CPU seems to make 3600, but still having problems getting those sticks at 540.

Thanks!

im in the same boat myself

ok im at the stage of installing windows... I want to know what exactly is the relationship between vcore and vtt , because just now when i tried to boot into windows , it bsod'ed , and 3 more bsods later i got the message about ntdetect not found and now im reinstalling windows... Then again it could have been because im running at 410 fsb with the sb at stock voltage or something

Also , vdroop control off = bad? And what are the comfy voltages that you guys are on...1.64v on the sb, 1.6v on the nb , 1.5v vcore... And should vtt be higher or lower than vcore again?
