can any of u guys do 1000mhz CL4 trd 7???

weird that this board cant seem to do it.

Yes, very easily, see my sig, each of the OCZ, Crucial and Corsair of the PC2-8500 rating I have OC'd on this mobo do 4-4-4-9 quite well. If you're willing to push the vdimm and have good cooling, you can get 1066 @ 4-5-5-10 with the Crucial Ballistics and at least 4-5-5-15 with OCZ XLC.

Hello and sorry for my bad English.

I have BIOS 0907 installed and now i have 2 problems. The first ist CPU Ratio Control don`t work. I can not the multiplier changing. It`s show aways AUTO. The second problem ist Hardware Monitor. CPU Temp. show from 9C to 11C. What can i do. I will waiting for new BIOS. Wenn will be he realised?

dude i am asking for memtest 1000 percent stable at TRD 8 or TRD7

can u post ure settings and screenshot...

cause cant seem to do with this motherboard.

oh yeah i have a few team PC2-6400 CL3's , OCZ reapers PC2-8500
and a 500fsb capable proc..
only problem that on this board.. is difficult.

Use numpad + or - and u can adjust the ratio, and just use coretemp/everest for monitoring, this is a known bug in this BIOS release, but this Bios works the best for me.

Thank you very much!!! It`s work.

HAllo mate ive got same problem...i ve got E8500 and my temp is 11C in bios in newest everest,core temp,asus probe...i don t understand it...why?..

why some processors runing on good temp and ours no...

?????....
i ve got some bios 0907...

For BIOS v0701 and v0907, ASUS BIOS reading of CPU core/s temp (NOT IHS) is normal and most preffered. This is the temp of wich you should be most concerned with when overclocking. I can't speak for Core Temp (app) but for ASUS PC ProbeII and Everest, you can confirm by looking at CPU cores 1 & 2 readings to see that they too are the higher of the "2" readings. The CPU IHS is always gonna' look lower since it is cooled externally.This is normal if you concider that the internal heat is gonna' take a bit to react to the surface heat.

Hey guys,

Sorry i aint been about much. Small update in short, next week i sould be here more.

-12c i got 600FSB out the bord, -12c being the NB. CPU was on std water!

I'm still on 903, 907 is tempting and i think i will do it when i drop my E8500 in.

Bord is full wc'd.

I hate the bios and pickyness of the bord, wish Asus would maike things nice and simple and working again.

The naked X38 has an IHS back on it for now but i still belive it's the only one in the world thats naked and working!

Has there been any chnages to thenewer mfgd bord ie has there been a rev 2 or soemthing?

I'm tempted to jump ship to a new rev bord

Also naked and working

E8400


When I leave:
-North Bridge Voltage: Auto = 1.648V
-South Bridge Votlage: Auto = 1.088V

Should this be lower?

[Viss]

Depends on FSB however NB at auto is always (too) high. Up to ~500FSB about 1.49 for NB should do. 4x1024 likes a tat more.

Opps forgot:

E8400 @ 3.6, FSB 400, 2 Gigs PC8500

-North Bridge Voltage: Auto = 1.648V
-South Bridge Votlage: Auto = 1.088V
-SB 1.5V: Auto
-CPU GTL Reference: Auto

Should any of these be changed?

[Viss]

Transaction booster etc wil make a diff as wel but for 400mhz FSB you should be fine with less on NB i guess. I have it on 1.47 or 49 most of the time for NB, SB 1.050V and SB 1.5 at 1.6v This is with 4x1024 @ 560 mhz 5/5/5/15 and transaction booster diasbled & 1. E8400 9.5X421MHZ.

dude thats trd 10.
trd 9 is boost enabled
trd 8 is boost enabled 1

example.. i can only do this for about 7-9 minutes

TRD 9 and 10 pass for all day long..
but 8..
hmm and again on P35.. trd 7 was easy.

[.OCX]

FSB Termination Voltage: 1,36 1,28 real - and very strange, as with my E6850 it was higher than bios settings, now it's much lower...

I noticed that as well. Hopefully the new 8X00's will push out a new bios. Anyone seen anything on this altered vtt pattern with new 8X00's?

Where do or did you get 10 from. If reffering to Read To Write Delay Time, mine in is 8 when set to AUTO. I forget if it changed on various changes of Clock Twister and or primary timings. I do believe relaxing the Booster effects this but haven't tested into depth.

I have noticed that certain BIOS releases have changed how it is set when in AUTO and with Booster disabled and relaxed to "0"

yeah noticed it and also.. i think this was the reason..

so default is 1.2v for vcore with auto at 1.184 for fsb.

i always thought that vtt should be lower than vcore..
as far as i now

try imagine ..
i can get my proc to stable at vcoe 1.25v at 4ghz with vtt 1.216/1.232.....
but it makes the rams go nuts at whatever voltages/gtls i push on PLL, NB, DIMM,,... just cannot be done...

if i leave it to go higher than vcore.. i need to push the vcore to stabilize at 1.296v .. but then mem gets a random errors..
sometimes passes 30 minutes of orthos large fft .. and in another restart fails in 10secs.



new bios need them.

hmm based on e8400 thats tRD 8... moderate+disabled relax 0.
mistake...argghh cant remember.. wasting my time on this proc with this board..

other mobos can do tRD 7..
heck i didnt try it with the 65nm.. should have.
use memset and u will get the performance value aka tRD..
read anandtech latest x48 review on min trd..



give up need new bios..

[Nuckin_Futs]

If the tRD is the "Read To Write Delay Time", it can be manually set to 7. Is this not the same?

[hotshot100]

Anyone can give me The default voltage for all setting in bios ? (north bridge , south bridge , ....)

I just receive my New E8400 And I will try to beat my previous record of 3975mhz With my E6850 .

[CERO]

default voltage, what do u mean? isnt that just : Load default setup ?

[hotshot100]

when I go to load default all the setting go to Auto . If I want to raise a little bit more I need to know what the default Voltage first ?

Can I just set everything to auto and check in bios hardware monitor to see what is the default voltage ?

Thanks

[hotshot100]

Ok , I have put CPU stock speed and put every volt setting to AUTO . here my result in hardware monitor :

CPU : 1.185
CPU PLL : 1.6
North : 1.360
Ram : 2.0
FSB : 1.185
South : 1.072
SB 1.5 : 1.552

After That I put every Voltage manual but To obtain the same Voltage in hardware monitor I need to put different setting , example to obtain 1.185Vcore in I need to put 1.225 in setting .

Here the list of Volt I need to put to obtain the same result :

CPU : 1.225
CPU PLL : 1.56
North : 1.35
Ram : 2.1
FSB : 1.26
South : 1.050
SB 1.5 : 1.5

[CERO]

Noo, do not use AUTO, as this board will overvolt everything!!! as u want to beat your old CPU, start with 445x9 = 4005ghz,
strap: 400mhz, 1.20-1.40FSBv and 1.47-1.49NBv should be enough, really depends on the board and cpu. and try to figure out how much vcore u need, set accordingly SBv: 1.05 SB1.5v: 1.50v, CPU GTL : 0.63x NB GTL: 0.67x, and set CPU PLL: to 1.50 ( as it overvolts crazy lol), transaction booster/ dram read static control: Auto or disable clock twister : auto. And pay extra attention to vDRAM: as it overvolts by 0.08 , here again it depends on what mem u got. These "basic settings" u can use to start.

Right now I am priming with the above setting 468FSBx9 , 1.20FSBv, 1.49NBv, 333 strap, transaction/dram static disabled/ clocktwister strong, so far it works.

I am currently using BIOS 0907, seems to work great, but so are 0802 & 0903 , I tried, but I didnt noticed any differences between those.
