Thanks Wilson, are those 25's or 30's? How exactly are they attatched? I see the black zipties holding the inside ends together and the white ones with the female end sticking out. Did you use another female end to cinch it up on the back side of the case?

Axis

Yep you got it and they are Akasa 40mm 5000 rpm fans that cost about £3.50 from scan. I also like the idea of Jor3lBR with the extra sinks on the pwm`s good idea

[Jor3lBR]

Can I get a definitive clarification on the temp readings in SG? Chipset=NB or SB and System temp=PWM or a sensor near there?
Axis

Chipset = NB
System = PWM

Temps are never accurate thru software readings...

[wilson]

Ive just read this on another post.
"The CPL-4-50 has an operating temperature of 125C."
Can anybody back this up?

[Praz]

The multiphase inductors are rated for a maximum operating temperature of 125C. However, all specification are given at temperature of 25C. As the temperature increases DCR and inductance changes. As these are manufactured specifically for use with Volterra devices there isn't much data available relating to the change of specs to temperature.

Is this the technical way of saying it wouldn't be a bad idea to put some heatsinks on them.

Do those 40mm's make a massive whine? Most of the small/high RPM fans are notorious for this.

[wilson]

They aint that bad and you can always slow them down to run at 60% . I have mine at full speed and dont hear to much of a whine as i have other fans in the background.

@Jor3|BR

If you looking for watercool products ----> Link to freezinghardware

They have watercool products or they can order it and perhaps they will ship to usa!

It´s a friend from me!

[Psycho_eddie]

Really exited, my watercooling is all up and running... along with first build with this mobo!

Boots first time

Instaling Vista as we speak

Looking to get minmum 400x9 24/7 stable on my Q6600

Ideally 450x8!!

Or even 500x8 if the board can handle it!?

[wilson]

Jor3lBR how is your Q6600 doing @4.0Ghz and could you post your volt setting pls as i may give mine a go .
And how are you running it with 9 or 8 multi.
Cheers Paul

[adya]

just installed mine the other day , its all ready to go . now its time to learn abit about overclocking.
i have overclocked before on an older gigabyte board, but this bios is a little more complicated. does anyone know of a template for this board? just to get an idea of what to set voltages etc to . not to cpy just to get an idea .i know i should be looking at noob guides etc and i am. but in the meantime if anyone knows of any particulary with a dual core,that would be great. im aiming for a 24/7 500fsb /1200mhz memory or atleast 450fsb.

[CrapCrasher]

Did anyone tryed successfully install 8 GB RAM in this board as is the configuration I am willing to go for, please indicate me which brand and model of RAM you suggest me to go for.

[begrip]

can someone show some results on Q6600 @ OC im planning to one of those

[Psycho_eddie]

Hi all got my board on yesterday my aim Q6600 @ 3600Mhz 24/7 stable!!

To get it prime stable for at least 1 hour!

Q6600 @ 450x8

Vcore - 1.42V (Will vary depending on your chip)
FSB VTT- 1.45V (SG*)
V NB - 1.45V (SG*)

GTL Enabled all left @ 110

All other voltage setting left @ defult

Now in the CPU options disabled EST thermal managment etc bar the multipul thread option!

Temps

65C Loaded all 4 cores
70C PVM
55C NB


Baring in mind i have 2x2GB RAM so NB volts for 2x1GB will likely not need so high NB volts!

Hello

How far has anyone pushed memory speed with 2x2gb memory? I'm running Gskill 2x2gb ddr2 1066 and I can't seem to get anything over 1100mhz to run stable. Would 4x1gb modules have a better chance of being pushed more?

PnoT, did you ever get your mobo to work? I see you are running the same memory as i am, and i couldn't get the board to even post unless i set the NB voltage to about 1.35v. I'm running an e8400 cpu though.

Just a side note, I'm watercooling and I'm using this EK block on the NB and it works nicely:

[wilson]

I have almost the same oc as you but im running at ..
3.6Ghz 400 x 9 1.4v... 1.38 in bios as i get overvolt.
NB 1.36
FSB 1.32
I also have 4gb of ram but in 4 x 1gb sticks and i am stable 24/7 in prime.

Nice, i need same 1.38Bios (1.408 actual) for me to get 450x8 prime stable

Now going to lower the FSB/NB volts lowest prime stable

Works well with 4x2GB Geil Black Dragon PC2-6400

My board is posting again but it's very flaky on any type BIOS changes since it won't boot half the time. I also have to set my NB volts to about 1.34 to get things to run smoothly and I've got my ram at 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1v.

I fried my E3110 the other day, when i thought it was my board, so I've managed to get myself and E8400 now. I hope this cpu stabalizes better than the E3110. The second core on that thing would not run stable at 4ghz no matter what i did. What i find odd is that my boards is one of the few that has the cpu vid issue and when i fried the E3110 i had only put 1.36v into it and *poof*. That's an extremely low amount of volts to fry a chip and i can't help but think I need to RMA this board.

[drnick79]

I have noticed something peculiar about the board so far concerning voltage. When I set the CPU voltage anywhere from 1.3875 to 1.4v in the bios, the cpu voltage measured in windows by everest remains at 1.42 v for any of those settings...perhaps there are some cpu voltage issues with this board or bios?

And Clunk, have you pushed the memory to more than 1066 (not that pushing ddr2 6400 to that speed isn't already an achievement!)?

The voltage problem isn't a problem as such. If you set the Special VID setting to it's lowest setting and not AUTO, then recalculate your voltage, that should give you the voltage that you see in CPU-Z/Everest etc.

Those Geil Black Dragon modules will only go to around 1066Mhz when using two of them, so I'm pretty sure I have maxed them out. Still, not too bad for cheap and large modules

[adya]

damn not sure what im doing wrong .
vcore at 1.45

dram at 2.5
sb at 1.55
nb at 1.45
both gtls at 110
strap at 266/667
450fsb/1124 memory
multi on x8 =3602mhz

it boots ok and twice as fast which is really cool . but i run sandra for 3o min and it freezes up i loose time setting and date settings . in other words its not stable.
i dont understand alot of these new settings in this bios but to me it looks like i have the volts on pretty high settings, i doubt its not getting enough voltage from core ,nb and dram. am i right? is there something or things that im missing?

LOL 266 strap at 450Mhz FSB?

[adya]

LOL 266 strap at 450Mhz FSB?

ok now that u have finished laughing, what strap should i use? i asked someone in another forum what strap and they said use that the 266 strap?
i told u im just learning about how straps work . im still new at this.
for 450mhz what strap should i use ? ill change it now. it keeps crashing on me when sandra stresses the ram latency and bandwidth so it must be ram related? please help? i really want to get this right. im reading as much as i can about straps but its going to take me weeks to learn all this.

Sorry man, try one of the 400 / ??? straps. It has higher latencies on the north bridge but will be a lot more stable.

It is akin to have your memory timings controlled by a predetermined group of settings. You choose the "DDR2-800" strap and it sets the memory to CL4. You choose the "DDR2-1000" strap and it sets the memory to CL5. However it does not set the actual memory speed. So you can have DDR2-1000 memory on the "DDR2-800" strap, however it will probably be unstable.

[Praz]

@ Adya
Depending on the capability of your ram try the 800/333 strap/divider. At 450 FSB that will put the ram at 1080MHz and put less stress on the NB.
