Renegade is running 506Mhz FSB whereas according to your screenshot here...

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=425

...you're only doing 437Mhz. Write and copy scores are heavily dependent on FSB speed so bump it up if you want to get closer

thats what i thought

anyways, i re-found afudos just to see where i got it from. its from south africa

[ChaosMinionX]

Anyone got some voltage settings they are using? I will post mine up soon, but I am still trying to get every last bit outta this board. I would really like to get 475 stable, which is getting closer.

i posted all my settings a few pages back. this is my baseline 100% prime stable though i think i can go faster or drop some volts as it is not completely fine tuned.

BUMP

try re-flashing. put everything back to stock settings, which means no oc and stock volts. if that does not work then try moving your ram over to the other slots

What voltages though?

What voltages though?

*edit*
guess i didnt take pics of the volts

gimme a min as im at work and dying for a cig... ill post them in 10 min

[ante_ante]

Where can i find bios 0217 ?

Quick Q: Blue or White Dimm slots for the best OC-ability:Vdimm and stability?

[ericab]

well, after a bit of tweaking im relativley happy; howver i think i can get a little bit more oudda my hardware...





here are my settings...








anyone have suggestions on how i can improve from here????

Quick Q: Blue or White Dimm slots for the best OC-ability:Vdimm and stability?

depends on mobo test them both

[Grnfinger]

man, I HATE this mobo!

Yeah, I'm a noob, but I was thinking better motherboards should make things easier, not the hell on earth!

Tried everything, can't get even some 3.0ghz. No BOOT, on ANY settings suggested here, nor even the ANANDtech suggestion.

Nothing work! I'm really pissed! Now all I want is some good, big axe, to chop it to bits.

my set should make it easy.
q6600 G0,
2x1gb XMS2 800mhz,
TRUE 2x120mm

If someone solve it for me, thanks!
just wanting some 3.4 - 3.5ghz

I think I should go back to Abit

If you set everything to Stock Speed will it post?

Quick Q: Blue or White Dimm slots for the best OC-ability:Vdimm and stability?

They say the White slots, I have tested both blue and white and imo there is little difference if any at all. ppl see what they want to

took the template from the maximus thread but whatever

@ericab

play with the transaction booster, i was able to get pl5 out of my ram *set as 6 but pull ins are enabled to make it 5*

[Titus]

try re-flashing. put everything back to stock settings, which means no oc and stock volts. if that does not work then try moving your ram over to the other slots

everything is at stock and it still happens every few re-boots

could my voltages be too high?...I have all the voltages set to 'Auto' in the BIOS but according to PC Probe my Vcore is 1.20, NB= 48C (1.36V), SB= 44C (1.07V)

what should I set my NB, SB, CPU and CPU PLL voltages to for optimal performance at stock settings?

zen, i tried playing with the booster..... ANYTHING less then what its already at, is an automatic DET RAM~

btw my ram is Crucial Ballistix PC6400....

here are my voltages also.

try your fsb strap to 400. i cant enable transaction booster any other way. plus with the fsb strap to 400 i noticed i can run lower nb volts as well.

[Grnfinger]

Same here , I'm so ing sick of that Det Ram. Had is sorted on the MF now its back and hard as hell to sort out.
If I run Trans Booster on anything but Auto I get the hang.

[ChaosMinionX]

Yeah, you guys run lower NB voltage, I cant seem to get 8GB any lower than 1.61v-1.63v

Thanks for the info, I will see what I can do with it.

[giorgos th.]

@Grnfinger try booster manual with dram static control disabled..

[Grnfinger]

I will give it a shot

i mean to say flash it at all stock.

[ZenEffect]

key things i noticed to get trans booster to work *for me* were

i HAVE to be at cas4 for pl below 7
i HAVE to set the fsb strap to 400
if i manually set pl to 5 i get system hang
if i manually set pl to 6 and do pull ins for pl of 5, it works.

now imma go eat some pizza

[giorgos th.]

My bios settings.

[Grnfinger]

@Grnfinger try booster manual with dram static control disabled..

No luck still get the hang

Running ram @ 5-5-5-15-3-35-6-3

Dram Static = Auto
Clock Twister =Stronger
Trans Booster =Auto





Not bad at all but I would like to play with the setting. Anything but Auto and it wont boot

what fsb strap are you using? experiment with different straps to get it to work, thats what i did.
