What programs can you use to see the volt of the memory?

[bert555]

hmmm I have possibly got a bit confuzzled there :p

edit...actually no eGuru tells the voltage...think that's the only one I've seen it in though

[TheGoat Eater]

ok I put in a replacement BIOS and got 90 on post saw it was BIOS problem and I turned it off and tried pressing in the BIOS chip better and burner the F*ck out of my finger ... thoughts?

[bert555]

after updating the bios i am getting cpu temp of 16-17deg idle 30 under load, individual cores 36 idle/49 under load, does that seem too low now ??

Uguru will read all your voltages.

I just use hwmon http://cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php

depends on what kind of cooling you have, if you have air or water cooling it wont be below ambient

Can somebody confirm that pwm thermoresistor is there?

[sean_php]

Hi,

Guys I was never been successful at overclocking my e6320 with IP35 Pro, I cant hit 2900 MHZ+ stable with my rig...I tried loosing memory timings and extreme voltages to cpu and chips...I'm coming to idea that the e6320 socks...or maybe the board!!!

Did anyone raised an e6320 to 3200+ with this mobo?

I'm using 16b04 now (I updated about three or four months ago)...and I have my mobo bolted just after ordering it! the temps is not my concern...what should I do? can anyone confirm 16b09 will help with speeding up the OC?

Thanks!

that looks more like a resistor.

[TheGoat Eater]

Can someone please tell me the orientation of the Chopped off corner of the BIOS chip in the socket - when the board is oriented cpu socket on top


or PIC !

From the looks of it the notched (cut off) end points towards the bottom left of the board (in this picture)

EDIT: According to the following picture I was correct

Notice the dot on the bottom left of the bios chip

yepper - while not noticing it when I popped the other out I F-ed it up

Has anyone used this..

Hi Wilson,

I am using this waterblock in my ring, I suppose you want to know about temperature. In my watercooling loop I have:
8800GTX volt modded + SB + NB+ PWM + Hard Drive + Eheim 1048 + htf Dual Xtra.
Idle PWM temp : 36°
Orthos load PWM temp : 53°
I only have a dual core processor, but voltage is 1.69V@4.1Ghz (motherboard is Vdrop modded and voltage doesn't move at all)

I don't have the temp before the watercooling. But It was higher (5°-10&#176 with vcore only at 1.5V

Hope it will help you.

The MIPS MCH144 Abit IP35 Mosfet Freezer works well

[Crazy Chuckster]

I have a question about the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager driver. I am running my SATA in AHCI mode so I installed the AHCI driver from floppy during my fresh install of windows.

Do I have to install the full driver found here http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...ional&lang=eng once I get windows installed and get the chipset drivers installed?

[Ace-a-Rue]

Yes!

[strange|ife]

Ace why dont you join abit support? lol your in this thread all the time man

Ace why dont you join abit support? lol your in this thread all the time man

i am a member! ...just posted there too!

[Crazy Chuckster]

Yes!

Thanks Ace! Got the rig up and running. Gonna let it run @ stock for a day or so then we will crank it up!

Nice temps.

Sweet. No surprise... Gratz. Damn, sayin that makes me miss MMORPG's.

Side note...
I woke up this morning and *something* completely messed up my comp... I tried everything (trust me, it was everything). Basically, 5-7 seconds after I got to my windows log on screen, I got a BS and a restart, everytime, no matter what. A restore from 24 hours before fixed it.

Anyways... I'm glad to report that I'm "stable" at 3.6Ghz... Not P95 stable... But I can play my games and stuff. My wife is out of town until Wednesday, so I should be rather active here these next few days.

Hi guys, I'm trying to find out what these are called in speedfan:

- northbridge chipset
- southbridge chipset

Or how I can check the temps of these. I did the mod for the bolts and want to check if the chipset is OK (I couldnt see how far I was tightening it down!!)

Thanks !

I have a minor dilemma running Penryn on this board. I am not concerned about temps too much as I am in an unheated garage in NY in February and the ambient temp never rises over 15C.

Anyway a bit of system specs and then the annoying scenario I have encountered.

CPU: E8400
ES/Retail: Retail
Batch #: Q746A377
Ship/Packaging Date: Jan. 04, 2008
Voltage(s) (Stock/OC'ed): 1.112/1.285 set BIOS (CPU-Z 1.27 idle - 1.25 load)
Frequency(ies) (OC'ed): 400x8 (4.0)
Motherboard: Abit IP35 Pro
BIOS: 16.B09
Video Card: El Cheapo X300 PCI-E

_______
*Extra* Memory(ies) (Timing(s)): 2GB OCZ SLI ready PC2-8500 5-5-5-15 running 1:1
*Extra* Memory(ies) (Voltage(s)): 2.0v SPD rates 2.3v for full rated speed
*Extra* Third Party Cooling Solution: NY winter (Zalman 9700)
*Extra* Paste(s)/Compound(s)/Other(s): Ceramique

Ambient temps were a balmy 14C in my garage. Idle temps around 36C - 32C and load at 37C - 42C. Temps read by Core Temp. All runs done in open case w' 120mm fan blowing on NB.

OK,so here's the dilemma. The cpu runs Orthos for more than 4 hours on small FFTs. The RAM passes memtest 86 v.2.0 at the current setting. Orthos fails at 37 minutes under blend test. With each bump in DDR2 voltage Orthos fails a little sooner. I went all the way p to 2.274v for the RAM and failed blend test in 9 minutes.

Here are some voltages I am not all that familiar with.

CPU VTT = 1.13
MCH = 1.52
ICH = 1.09
ICH IO = 1.50
DDR2 REF = 0% (options are: +2%...0%...-2%...-4%)
CPU GTLREF 0%2 = 68%
CPU GT:REF 1&3 = 68%

Maybe changing one of these will help my blend Orthos stability?

Thanks -Jim

Hi Jim,

I also have a E8400 and my volts are pretty much the same as yours. What I have noticed so far is, that the E8400 goes straight to 4 GHz (with 1.37 V) and than it needs lots of volts to go further (like 1.52V for 4.32 GHz). And as Ace has mentioned earlier you need more Volts to get it prime stable. But I don´t care for prime.
But your setting is pretty much stock so I think you need not as high Volts as you have (especially for MCH).

so far Juli

Hi Jim if you are concern about memory stability, try to increase ICH IO voltage to see if that help. At 1100Mhz (FSB memory) on my ring I have to increase it to make it orthos and rock stable. I have it set to 1.70V but it's already stable above 1.60V

Give us some feed back in any case.
