Ohh so just try step down bit by bit and try the stability is it? Cool.

Tried 9 X 400 / 8 X 450 at 333/667 or 333/800 strap, both also reboot when loading windows. It is cause by voltage?

read the thread get your gtl settings right

just (perhaps) a few silly questions about the hr-o5-ifx;

do you use that rubber bit to stick on the bottom?
it doesnt cover the whole NB but thats ok?
did you have to bend it for the TRUE?

lol no need for the rubber
its a waste of money just put a 120mm fan on stock cooler but if you buy one get the sli version
i moded mine a bit lol
as soon as i get my hands on another peice of copper i will make the ultimate nb cooler i will have the heatpipes touching the nb

Hey guys I am a little confused and I have a feeling that this is going to be a really dumb question but hey live and learn right =)


CPU VTT does what?

CPU VID Control is the core voltage?


The reason I ask is because when I had my Q6600 I only remember changing the CPU VID control, I dont remember changing CPU VTT and I am having to set both of these at the same value (1.26v) in order to get my X3110 stable at 4275MHz, out of all the boards I have ever owned this is the first one (in a long time) that has me confused as to what every setting does.


Dont be too hard on me, I am by no means Xtreme (yet)

[Tarowah]

Well I am running my X3110 at 4275 at 1.3v and everything seems stable thus far, I am still not 100% sure I have everything set the correct way in the bios but this seems like a good 24/7 o/c to me.

[Boyu]

update my mb to new bios but if i set CPU VID to auto or under 1.3 volt the option to select CPU VID special add become gray and can't be selected.But if i set CPU VID to anything beyond 1.3 the CPU VID Special Add can be access again.
Anyone having this problem as well?

no need for the rubber
you can only install true blowing up with the ifx better off with the sli version
even stock is better with a 120mm fan

[nles]

Still not quite understand about the GTL thingy, how to extract the bios code, so can let you guys take a look.

Prime for an hour but the vcore min and max different so much o.O

[Neuuubeh]

Hey guys

been waiting some time for my account to get activated so I could post :P.

I'm putting a new rig together and have some questions . I've already ordered this mainboard (lp x38-t2r) and want to pair it up with a Q9450. Will it work straight out of the box, or do I have to use an older 775 cpu to update the BIOS first? I guess I could throw on a cheap 2100 or something, might be fun to torture after the q9450 is up and running..

Next question, are there any problems with TRUE on that mainboard? I read some older posts here that the board warps due to the mass of the cooler, do I have to keep something in mind about that?

As for the ddr2 ram, first some Cellshocks gonna find their way in, looking to upgrade to 8000 4x2gb Gskill sticks later on. The whole system would go in a Cooler master cm 690, from what Ive gathered, everything will fit in nicely

BTW this forum rocks



thanks,
Nick

PS can I hope for an OC at around 3.4-3.5 for 24/7?

thanks zsamz, you've been a big help to me latley
i just bought the standard one and kind of tilted it backwards so it fits with the TRUE

i fitted that new cooler and a new TRUE (the lap job on my old one was crap) and moved the PSU to the top of my case so i could move my GFX card down a slot havn't had a chance to play with it again since i was building my bro a pc (he doesnt know yet )

[jcool]

@nles: Set "Vdroop control" to disable in bios, you won't be having any vdroop at all

uw
get that cpu goin i wanna see how high you can go
i got the itch to get me one of those e8500s

[Origin_Unknown]

ive only really had 4ghz on it... it tried 4.5 and blew up my psu and cpu before lol.
I don't really understand alot of the bios options still as i came from a 965 + e6600 and it wasnt hard to OC that so if you want to see how high a 8500 will go i dont think im the man to see - unfortunatly -

[Bikerz]

My system goes upto 70C, Is this too high? Is this the volatge regulator (black heatsink?) as this gets really hot. This too high?

How do I control the speed of fan in NB and plugged insystem fan, 1st fan etc...? as listed in manual?

[frodoz737]

First post so be kind. Buy the way, Hi all. Been reading up since Jan., received board 26Feb. and finally opened static bag today...busy. One question now is this China/Taiwan thing everyone seems to keep bringing up. My box says China, sticker on back of board says China, printed Taiwan below ATX pwr connector on edge of board, sticker on slot says R.AA1, Berstein says R.AA0. Is this a good thing or bad. Thanks.

some good some bad you will know when you try it out

i havent seen mine go 35c+ yet i suggest you lap it n replace tim with mx-2

[jcool]

"System" in SmartGuardian is the voltage regulation, yes. Mine is at 60C running passive, anything below 80 would be ok I guess. But if you feel uncomfortable with the temp, just put a small fan onto the black heatsink

mine is running pasive 32 idle 34 load

same here pretty much - depends on air flow in your case aswell

[Bikerz]

Well with 15 120mm fans in a Lian Li 343 should have good airflow,lol. Must be mounting, Im I amble to remove without removing board?

[TK2]

what is Digital 6+1 PWM design ?

no, iirc its screwed through the bottom of the board

[t_ski]

Bikers, (sorry if I missed this) what kind of cooling are you using? We were discussing earlier in this thread how some coolers (air or water) may bend the board, which makes the heatsink on the vregs not sit right anymore. If a backplate is used with the same cooler, the problem is solved.
