I just flashed my board last night from 07** (don't remembe exactly but it was a buggy bios) to 0812 and now I can't get stable with same settings as before, thanks Asus!

I was used to set vcore, vram and a few other settings let nb, sb, pll and etc voltages in auto and my system was always rock solid. Now I can't get the system stable for 5 minutes in Prime and the vdroop seems huge (at least bigger than before).

Any tips?

List all of your hardware plz, your requested OC and I4ll try to give you a template you can try...

Bad luck Stevil, I have used 0812 since it was released here with the QX and E8500, still going strong

Leeghoofd,

Thanks, I'll post all settings this night when I arrive home.

But I have a guess: I think this last bios has benefits to the new 45nm processors and are not so good with the "old" ones like my 65nm Q6600 (thanks again ASUS!).

Hey Guys

I have a problem that i want to share with you guys and help me find a solution...

I have this OC prime stable

ASUS P5K deluxe BIOS 311 (tried all and can't OC as with this)

Q6600 L737B vid= 1,225 2400@3800 (476x8) vcorebios= 1,4375

Crucial Ballistix (the old modules) 2x1Gb 1066@1188 5-5-4-9 (2,2v)

My Bios settings as this, plz click on the pic to make it bigger







Fact is that at this settings you see in the pics it's prime stable rock solid...If i change to

Q6600 2400@3808 (476x8) vcorebios= 1,45

Crucial Ballistix 1066@1190 5-5-4-9 (2,2v)

wich is also prime stable, BUT after some days of using this, one day i turn off the PC all nite and at the morning i can't boot anymore, i mean no matter if i reset CMOS, take out the battery etc, the ONLY thing that makes it boot is take out the crucials and put a standard DDR2 800 memory, then i set the bios again and put the crucials...

I started to think that my crucial's can be damaged but, stood all nite on a memtest...passed all spi (4xspi 32mb) and prime (large, blend) for hours...

Also i want to add that at 480x8 i'm on my FSB limit that maybe the cause of this bios matter...
I tested changing the FSB, NB voltajes, the voltajes ref and others and the best config i end is the one on the pics.

Sorry if this post is long, but just want to know if anyone has this problem or can suggest me another good config to run my OC at this 8x multi that is so fast and i love it

Cheers all
Sergio

Are you shure it died ? If it turns on the led maybe you should try to wake it up with another memory,
