Caped Crusader I posted what settings I see in my board which are,


CAS Latency Time
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay
DRAM RAS# Precharge
Precharge delay (tRAS)
---------Advanced-----------
ACT to ACT Delay (tRRD)
Rank Write To READ Delay
Write To Precharge Delay
Refresh to ACT Delay
Read to Precharge Delay
Static tRead Value
Static tRead Phase Adjust
Command Rate (CMD)


Which one is STATIC TREAD DELAY ? The value or the adjust?

[TyphooN]

Well it is possible with high volts and his sig mentions Sub-zero watercooling, so who knows.

i didn't see the part about sub-zero watercooling.. i still wouldnt expect more than 4.0ghz but what do i know :O

[-Acid-]

+ 4ghz is possible if you push hard enough !!!!


this is XS after all !!!!

I have just purchased a Swiftech Peltier Waterblock, it should arrive nextweek sometime, I am looking foward to playing with something new.

Maybe I can reach 4ghz but I doubt it .

It's the STATIC tREAD VALUE, which is the same as PERFORMANCE LEVEL on other programs and tweakers like Everest, etc.

Thank you very much

So who is gonna try and flash the X48 bios onto one of the X38 boards?

not me.. its not like the x48 bios would make the board any better anyways...

GB tech support emailed me back and said the Q9450 was supported in F8 bios.

About a week ago, my pump failed. Q6600 @3.2 GHz ran at this temperature for about 10 hours:



I did days of stability tests afterwards and no errors.

Update on the G.SKILL's PC8500-PK:

I found out today they work better with the 2.66D divider. I got them running at 1200Mhz with stock timings and 2.08v (a bit less than stock vDIMM) and with performance level 7, which was nearly impossible with them at 1140Mhz (2.40 divider). Go figure

As a result, I went back to 450X8 (3.6Ghz). I wasn't very confortable with the 1.45 vcore, not for 24/7 anyways. However, now I get almost the same memory speeds in benchmarks I was getting with 3.8Ghz + 1140Mhz RAM so... I'm happy with the way it is running now

Ok I tried those exact same settings as yours , and they dont wwork for me ,I xcant get 1200mhz no matter what but I can get 1140 rock stable.

[TyphooN]

Caped_Crusader, I am probably going to upgrade to the G.SKILL's PC8500-PK, right now i have the G.SKILL's PC8000-PK.. Your results have inspired me, right now im running 1000 at the 2.40B strap. Has anyone run 4x2gb sticks on the 2.66D strap?

[truehighroller]

Behold for I to, have the G-Skill DDR2 8500 you so seek out lmao. I am watching Moses :P. I have the performance level 6 that Caped Crusader worships however lol. I have my q6600 @ 3.6Ghz and my memory set to 2.66d. I will say this though I have to reset my over clock every so often because I think that this bios is still buggy and I figured what the hell and messed with the cpu lead setting and boyy let me tell yah right now don't touch that setting,,, my bios went into recovery mode and my heart dropped. I went back in and set that setting back to normal needless to say but wow that was a scare. Any way here is a screeny of all my setting goodness and my gpu z screeny along with all my other goodieness for everyone to look apon :P.

[truehighroller]

I guess I should tweak my sig to match that score

Sadly there is no support for Quad Core Xeon...which is a real shame as those CPU's might be easier (and cheaper) to find rather then the Core 2 Duo chips.

[ubiquityman]

The Harpertown Xeons are LGA771. Do they fit (& work) in a LGA775 socket?

I'm guessing no.

[Richard Dower]

Aren't there quad core S775 Xeons?

[truehighroller]

Not those that you seek unfortionately.

[truehighroller]

I have a microcenter by me and can walk in and grab one out of some one elses hands and punch them when they ship lmao.

Q9300 = Intel Cpu Xeon Quad Core X3320 2.50ghz Fsb1333mhz 6m Lga775

I was right

[truehighroller]

Yes yes you were. I thought that I had seen that some where but, was unsure but, newegg doesn't have any and our boards don't support them lmao.

And sorry about the pretty flowers everyone my fiance likes them
