woaw ! terrific GG there, can it boot (just boot) at 500 ? and or bench via setfsb with such an fsb ?

[Sav]

I tried to set the FSB STRAP to Auto but it did not change anything. By just switching off the powersupply (without unplugging the cable) I got this error during POST: Error CPU core to bus ratio or VID configuration has failed. Press F1... bla bla.

Well since bobov have experienced this on other Asus boards with Intel chipset I guess it is not a sign of defect but just a strange bug.

I think is a problem of chipset X48

it can boot at 500 but not stable for benchies.. yet!

[ToyTen]

Thx xt0m, then I got great hopes for my Q6600 except that it needs lots of volts under water in this case. (L728A861-vid 1.2000v)

Hey you guys having that mobo, what was the bios at the VERY first boot? Mine is 0115. On asus support I only found 0201. What about you out there ??

Here too - 0115 seems to be stock delivery version, but not to find on the ASUS homepage...............

[OverClocker_gr]

Can someone upload the 0115 bios? thanx

ok, I might push it to its limits before upgrading then


A question to all, about an eventual incompatibility with OCZ ddr3 gold series speed 533 Mhz cas7-7-7-20@1,5vddr...is it still so ? doesn't it change with the actual newer bios ? ( I have those )

[ToyTen]

@OverClocker_gr: If I do save it to a floppy or so before you get it, I 'll upload the .rom file. but i doubt it lasts soo long before you find one

[OverClocker_gr]

If you can
I cant find it on the net
For me the 0115 is the best bios for FSB

On nb i have the fusion block from the maximus formula.

[OverClocker_gr]

Found it.

It was in the cd provided with the mobo :p

Thanx anyway

LLC is giving random BSOD when set to Performance. Still don't know what to do with Clock Over-Charging Voltage.

Upped the voltage a little bit and managed to boot into windows at 4,750MHz and used SetFsb to reach 4,937MHz with singel stager. Settings were the following:

CPU Voltage 1.5700
CPU GTL Voltage Reference 0,62x
CPU PLL Voltage 1,7
FSB Termination Voltage 1,38
DRAM Voltage 2.00
NB Voltage 1,49

Waiting for more inputs about the bios version but I will see soon.

Nice adaptation you got there Could you please make that spi1m again ? but at 3600Mhz precisely?

[OverClocker_gr]

you mean 600*6?

I dont think that its possible

I did the 1m for "stability" not for the number :p

[ToyTen]

no matter the fsb you set, just cpu frequency 3600Mhz, easier to compare. You could maybe do a 4000Mhz either

[OverClocker_gr]

ok.

[ToyTen]

does anybody knows the pll in use for setfsb ? muchas gracias

Same here, mine came with 0115 - running 0401 now tho.
Seems more stable with +1800 mem and low timings

[OverClocker_gr]

the 0401 is better for high speed rams but not for fsb.

With 0115 i am able to boot at 600 but with 0401 no luck

Stuck around 530-550

[OverClocker_gr]

@ToyTen

here you go

[ToyTen]

thx a lot man! atm I boot at 550 fsb and spi4m passes allright soo different from GA-X38T-DQ6... amazing in deed
I search for my reference... beback soon

[ToyTen]

here you go http://pix.nofrag.com/5/e/2/2b25a664...032204bc8.html
some parameters differ from you to me, but what I got is quiet similar to your score.

[OverClocker_gr]

indeed its quite similar.

But with 1m its hard to do a comparison

[ToyTen]

indeed its quite similar.

But with 1m its hard to do a comparison

yes and for exemple of complication: how is your system optimized for that particular bench? mine was a bit tweaked, not much.

My actual results on the seach of max spi1m for max fsb and max fsb:

If I don't reach 600 fsb tonite (3600Mhz at that coef6) I'll post later after getting some sleep yo

[OverClocker_gr]

hm,i did and a 32m run.

I m not fully tweaked for pi but there is a lazy 32m pi




When i was trying to reach max fsb the mems were @ ~850-880

@ 1-1 maybe i ll go higher.
