Thanks do i need any extra kooling on the chipset. Damn it gets hot.. Well I got mess around with it and got it it too run 4050mhz and ram at 1600 but i seemed to crash random. Ran Prime on it for 8 hours but random crashes in gaming. I will get back too you on how it went..

[Darknezz]

Well I got it running at 4050mhz

Thanks a hole lot for your help..

[Supershanks]

your VTT(fsb Overvoltage) is a bit high means your running at 1.40v which is high for a 65nm cpu . you need to be at about 1.25v with high fsb +0.10v should do fine there.

Try
CPU GTLREF1 Voltage*.......(67%)..: Auto ---> -3
CPU GTLREF2 Voltage*.......(61%)..: Normal---> -3

You might be able to tighten tras secondary timings a bit. Try tweaking in memset.

on 1800 with same main timings as you
I'm at :-

Precharge Delay (tRAS)............: 18
Advanced Timing Control
ACT to ACT Delay(tRRD)............: 5
Rank Write to READ Delay (tWTR)...: 5
Write To Precharge Delay (tWR)....: 7 (I'll try 7 I've been on 9~10)
Refresh to ACT Delay (tRFC).......: 65
Read To Precharge Delay (tRTP)....: 5
Static tREAD Value (tRD)..........: 7
Static tREAD Phase Adj............: Auto
Command Rate (CMD)................: 1T

I've also run with a bit more
(G)MCH OverVoltage Control,(1.45v): 0.375

My NB is on water now , but prevuiusly was running with a 60mm fan

luck

[Darknezz]

Supershanks Iam run a 45nm cpu but i know what you mean.. I have an old swiftech cpu cooler i am make to a nb cooler so that mit help, on the nb temp. Thanks for your help.. How did you get the fan to say there tape?? the swiftech has a 14mm thick cooper buttom. that should work.

[Supershanks]

Supershanks Iam run a 45nm cpu

Yes that's why I muntioned it
I used double sided tape to secure the fan , it's a 60mm.

I have an old swiftech cpu cooler

Mine is also a recycled CPU Cooler -
Alphacool Cape KC42-X2 Pro

I used these for the PWM area Enzotech MOS-C1 as the thermalright mosfet coolers are too wide.

luck

[Darknezz]

The Ones you have on the Mossfet can't buy them in Denmark But i am going to use a Thermalright HR-09U (Type 2) for the mossfet and a EnzoTech SLF-1 - 35mm for the sb..

[Supershanks]

As far as i know none of the Thermalright mossfet coolers fit it's the width thats too big. if you look at the Technical Specs you'll see that all models have a common width of 15.5mm. , about 3mm too wide.
Thermalright originallty had the HR-09 S/U type 2 Mosfet Cooler as compatible, we got that removed after around 3 of us had shelled out for them

You might be able to file down the width , but it might be a long job

[Darknezz]

Well then i well have fine something for it. Do you have the spec width 12.5mm. but how long is it we have cooper were i work and a hole lot of milling machines..

[Darknezz]

Supershanks I found a fan at work 40mm 24volt but but it's going to run at 12volt It's for the nb.. Hope it works..

[Supershanks]

sorry darkness not got the width will try & get it for you.
Yep 40mm should be good, at least give you an idea of impact. a fan has.

Edit block I think needs to be 84mm, Pin to pin is about 94mm

[Darknezz]

Ok thanks I made some Mossfet cooling at work 12.5mm and 101mm long. What the most anyone has got the ram to run on this mobo i am running them at 1800mhz right now

[Darknezz]

Well i got the Ram to run at 1900mhz write now At 2.00volt

Nice going m8

[Darknezz]

I am going too see if I am get the ram too 2000mhz But how much volt du you think the ram would need.

[Darknezz]

Well this Mobo is just great I have play around with it for some days now. I hit 2000mhz on my Memory today Thanks for all the help everyone has given me

[MagnumMan]

I'm having some trouble stabilizing the system as well. I have a QX9770 with a Scythe Mugen cooler with 1x 120mm fan in a Lian-Li 1000 aluminum case (exhaust an is about 2" from the heatsink working in tandem with the airflow. I also slapped a 40x40x20mm fan at 0.5" height from the northbridge part of the mobo heatpipes.

I have 4x2gb OCX 7-7-7-24-2T rated DDR3-1600 installed.
Currently it is at DDR2-1333 8-7-7-20-2T.
It runs stable at DDR2-1640 8-7-7-20-2T under memtest.

I have the following settings:

FSB 400
Multiplier 9.5x = 3.8GHz
Vcore = 1.3875V
Vfsb = +.25
Vnb(mch) = +.325
Vmem = +.4 -> 1.92V is within spec (up to 1.95V)
mem div at 3.33D (1333)
CPU drive = 900mV
no skew on cpu or mch
other (seconary) memory settings auto except for 2T see above for primary

Using Prime95 with 4x instances and affinity I can run small FFT for 2h 30m (so far) no errors CUP temp 80C = 175F (yes it is high but this machine won't be stressed like this, plus it was stable...)

Using memtest I get no errors on an overnight run at DDR3-1640 (see above) so I set memory to DDR3-1333 to eliminate memory as the problem.

When I run Blend 1800Mb for each Prime95 it dies on core #2 and #4 within about 10 minutes. Temp only gets to about 74C. I think accordng to HWMonitor the NB is getting to 63C.

Normally I woul have water cooled this machine but my office didn't want "plumbing".

So... it looks like the CPU/Memory interface (NB) is the culprit, how to I stabilize it?

Thanks.

I have same problem, i'm running E8500 so 9.5x400 wih same mem 2x2GB OCZ 1600EB on 7-7-7-24 2T.

It's the 4GB, most people can get it higher but use 2GB we have 2x2GB tried everything and with the help of benchowner i have these settings:

1.35 loadbalance on
1.85V mem
+0.25FSB
+0.35MCH

[MagnumMan]

Go over to the larger GA-X48T-DQ6 thread on this forum, I posted all my settings which are now stable.

[Supershanks]

I'm confused

So... it looks like the CPU/Memory interface (NB) is the culprit, how to I stabilize it?

Go over to the larger GA-X48T-DQ6 thread on this forum, I posted all my settings which are now stable.

Have you sorted it or not ??
if yes where please

I've been runnung my mch at a minimum of around +0.375 & have been up to +0.475 for 550 FSB

I have had on occasion the same symptom running prime which usually takes a dive as soon as small ffts start using blend. just upping vcore isn't the answer. I'm on water for my nb, any mch volts >0.475 don't add anything.

[MagnumMan]

I'm running FSB at stock speed 1600, I experienced hard lockups if the FSB voltage was +.30V or higher; I experienced hard lockups if the NB was +.40V or higher.

The key to getting the memory stable was to set all the "secondary" memory timings (below the 7-7-7-20 section). Manually set each one to be +1 over the "Auto" setting on the left. If it says 5, put it to 6. I set the one that is normally 60 to 75. Set 2T command rate. This plus +.20 FSB and +.30 MCH I believe stabilized it.

You should definitely first run memtest for about 6 hours after changing the secondary settings; once that passes then make sure you can run 6 hours of Small FFT in Prime95 with affinity on every core, and then try blend...

[Supershanks]

I experienced hard lockups if the FSB voltage was +.30V or higher

yep that makes sense on 65nm vtt (fsb) is around 1.35 to get 400~450 which is +0.25v in gigabyte over voltage.

on 45nm the setting should be lower.

I experienced hard lockups if the NB was +.40V or higher.

As my NB is on water , that probably tallies with my 0.475v max , as i said anything above that was wasted. that means a real nb voltage of 1.25 + 0.50 = 1.75v is tops.

agree re 2ndry timings

luck
