790 corruption issues?

[tekjunkie]

Well i had a try on tekjunkie settings on my QX9650:

QDR/RAM=1780 Unlinked
PCIE1/PCIE2 = 100
SPP<-> MCP= Auto
vCORE=1.375(1.344 in windows per cpuz)
Loadline =Enabled
vTT = 1.28
PLL=Auto
vDIMM=1.9 (Manually put the stock voltage for your ram)
vSPP =1.46
vMCP = 1.55
CPU GTL_REF0 = -29mV
CPU GTL_REF1=-32mV

But QDR/RAM was set to 1800 Linked and Sinked.... and for the first time i was able to boot and load windows at 1800FSB on my QX9650
The problem is that i cannot finish Super PI and system seems to have some minor instability. In fact i forgot to enable Loadline Calibration and my memory is runnig at 1800Mhz 7-7-7-16 1T at 1.84V , and this, may be the cause...
But, for me, this seems the way to go i will work on his settings next days to see if i can run at 1800FSB with system stable and complete Super PI 32M without errors.
For now im limited with my NB temperatures that reach 61-63&#186; under load, and this might be a problem for me, i will have to take the board out and apply some MX-2 grease on the NB and SB cooling blocks, and add a side fan to directly blow air to the NB, only then i will make more tests.

Try locking HTT @ 200. Also, good to see somebody making a progress.


Is anybody else having problems when going over 450 FSB with the screen flickering. In XP, the screen goes blank for a second or two and comes back.In vista, the screen flickers and I get a notification that the drivers have stopped working and has recovered. This only happens only going over 450 FSB and only when I put load on all 4 cores(like priming and SPI). I am on my 3rd board and don't want to go through Asus to RMA as I am beyond the deadline through ncix.

Update:

ARGH!!!!. This is really painful. I boot into XP and wanted to run 3dmark06 to compare my vista score and this is what I get.




Corruption?? IDK. I am gonna reinstall 3dmark06

Can't even freaking unintsall




Moe Updates:

I ran 3dmark06 in a loop and had a system freeze in xp. I also see a ton of errors in the event log. So I guess my xp installation is borked. I am gonna do the same on vista for more than 3 hpurs(thta's how long I ran itin vista succesfully last time around)
