yea also i saw improve from g21 , a bit more stable

Need Ram Help on this Blackops. My second one came from Newegg today since my first one would not run faster than 50-60% of the set CPU and DRAM FSB speeds set in BIOS.

The second one runs great. Installed G25 and the E8400 runs at 9x470. However, my good ram will not post. I get E0 and E1 errors.

Well, that's not completely correct. 1 stick of my Super Talent DDR3-1800 will Post. However the other stick will not Post in any Ram Slot and at any DRAM Voltage/NB Voltage set within BIOS.

My Patriot Viper DDR3-1866 gives me an E0 error. Which someone on this forum informed me that to get around this error I will need to have the XMP profile data removed. I'm not going to reflash my Ram.

Therefore what DDR3-1800+ memory are you people using that works right out of the box?

Running it with my cheap $70 OCZ DDR3-1066 sticks in it now.

Compliments splmann and Zillapact, very high fsb with x,5 multiplier

Thanks for the tip.. I was planning on buying this memory very soon..

Thanks !!! At the Weekend i will test this configuration und my Cascade !! Lets see ?

I have tried both G25 and G26 bioses and the multiplier is still stuck on 8x. With my QX6850 ES is working ok but there is not way with this QX9770.

Are you sure that you have CPU frequency unlimited =enabled in your BIOS? By default it is =disabled, and it confused plenty of people ... including myself

[Jav]

Yes, sure. Bios POST shows the established multiplier but it is not real because every test i have passed shows the stock multiplier. This is not happening with my other QX that is running at 11x.

[Lu(ky]

Well i think I am getting corruption at stock setting now.. I can not play Crysis error message, I am unable to run Everest Ultimate "Invalid floating point operation", and I can not run 3DMARK06 at stock speeds. I re-installed GPU driver etc... I have not really even tried to OC this board yet. Any ideas out there why I am having so much problems. I am on BETA BIOS G26 and P04 both same problems...

bios 04 or G26

memory config? spd is auto or manual?

try this

tcl 7
trcd 6
trd 6
tras 18
trfc 60
performace level 7
twr 21
twtr 18
trrd 4
trtp 4 or 6
all precharge 7or 8
refresh period x1
command clock 1 or 2
all rest to auto

ratio ram 1:4 333

if timing are ok you have possibility to boot until 460Mhz with 1,5volt to NB

memory volt 1,95 for ram 1800 cas7

Try to run scandisk - and let us know what message did you get

It works fine with my QX9650s C0 C1 I'll try c0 9770 now.

my guess is you blew a fuse in your cpu
high vtt or pll maybe?
if you havent oced it on the blackops yet, could you have damaged it on the board you ran it on before?
is it an old 8500 or a recent one?
the earlier ones seemed to be vcore and heat sensitive while the later ones are quite vcore and heat robust from what ive heard.

Well my memory passes memtest after re-installing Crysis I am now able to play. But I do notice a real lag delay now. Not that this is the mobo fault but I did notice a change in the mobo since I installed SB X-fi on it. So I am starting to think this board is to Xtreme for me... It just seems it takes allot to get this board OCed compared to others and it makes me feel like I am trying to learn a second language or something. I am just a NOOB I just wish I could get this thing going... I may send back to egg for a eVGA 790i..

And THANK YOU very much for all the help guys.. I will still keep pushing it to I dial this thing in..

Yepp, I had the same issues with my SST-1800RAMs and the new BIOS P04, G25 & G26. Buy some cellshock 1866 (the blue ones). I was able to run them out of the box with 5-4-5-12 on this mobo. Or flash the SPDs, but you'll void the warranty.

I second that motion to get the CellShock blue kit; they are well worth the $400 price tag IMHO. No issues whatsoever since I popped them in, except for the board still showing the wrong multiplier once in a while. Board is going back this weekend and the replacement should be here later today.

Next week I will have a bit more time with the board, to play with skews, CPU and GTL Refs. That should bring us closer to the goal, 533FSB/DDR3-2133

Done

I've been burried with work stuff, but below is some data for BIOS setup. I hope it helps some of you guys.
The latest G26 BETA looks great!

Black Ops, C2D E8400 @ 533FSB / DDR3-2133 CL9 @ 2.00v - G26 BIOS
This is TW3X4G2133C9DF ES which has been showcased here - 2 x 1GB DDR3-2133 9-9-9-24

Anyone give me advice please?

I've two of everthing so have been able to do some intial tests, everything is new and just been fired up:-

I have a problem with 1 of the Blackop boards, with the QX6770 in it at stock settings running Everest, 2 of the cores cause prime 95 to fail after arroun 30 seconds or so, Everest fails after 30 seconds and some times runs a litttle longer but then the same cores fail. Temprature is fine. I'm sure this is mobo problem coz the same bits work fine in the other Blackops mobo.

Am I missing some settings to get the mobo stable before oclocking or do you recon this is a duff mobo?
Thanks

[clone38]

My board is up and running now it came with the p02 bios what one should i try G26?

[yiancar]

yea G26 is very good to try or G25

[axlros75]

Sorry guys,
anyone knows when Foxconn Dreadnoughts (790i) will be on stock?

Thanks
