This is mine:





I´am not able to test the max. FSB, because my little E2160 makes only 400 Mhz FSB

But in a few weeks a new CPU is coming


What are your NB Temps., I think they can not be right, because the NB Cooler is cool, only 32,6 Grad Celsius



24/7 Settings:

No, its not a sample or demo board...

i bought it in a shop

[X2beach]

I have found this board is very very picky on voltage settings. Ican run OCCT and Prime95 for days. play a 3dgame POOF Black Screen

neat..
ure not curious on the different caps??

[cstkl1]

also interesting.. seawolf and u are from germany..
should have come in the same shipment.. unless this boards are selling like hot cakes..

but different caps..

[WhiteFireDragon]

is the sound card on this board limited to only the top slot black x1 pci-e slot or can you put it in the white slots also?

[Chri$ch]

is here someone who get 530FSB (+) stable on this board?

[cstkl1]

is here someone who get 530FSB (+) stable on this board?

i've gotten 533 and 540stable..
not that difficult..

but will redo it after i sand the nb heatsink..
the temps are too high for my liking. at 1.3v is already 60C..
u should be able to do it auto.. just make sure u set the performance level manualy

[klataa]

Im waiting for my one I hope that it will be much better than my abit quad gt x38 wich is shi**.

can u give an example... what do u mean with "very picky"?

[vertices]

Christ I can't get this board to to pass Test#3 on memtest86 with either Corsair Dominator PC8500 or OCZ Platinum PC8500. 2 sticks or 4 sticks. Even at all stock Auto settings other than mem voltage it still errors out. Asus just tells me to make sure my RAM is compatible and I know this RAM is good as it passes in other systems. WTF? I have the worst luck with boards. I guess I will have to RMA this board too. I already had a GA-EP45-DQ6 that had broken SATA ports. Now this. I swear.

Can anyone confirm they have this board working well with OCZ Plat or Corsair Dominator?

[X2beach]

Dont use Auto Setting for RAM Volt, Manual set.. I cant run Stock anything on this board. I have to Manual enter all Voltages

I can go from 1.31 VTT to 1.32VTT and my system will get into windows, Very icky on setting

I am using Gskill pc8800 Bios 0701 Helps when u get the setting Correct

[jordinho]

maybe you got a lemon x2beach? got it to 450*8 with my q6700 everything else on auto but the core and ddr2 voltage

That´s normal for my Board @ Default Voltages.....


IDLE often 56-60C NB Temp, LOAD 64C

With a Fan @12V ,which blows directly on the NB 56C under LOAD....



I Think the temperatures can not be right, because the NB cooler is not hand warm....

Bad conductivity then ?

What are the two wires that go to the Republic of Gamer's chip for?

[GaBBa-Gandalf]

this is for the power
because that thing (Republic of Gamer's chip) is lightning, when power is on...

[Seewolf]

I changed the heat conductive paste, but the temperatures are still the same

[X2beach]

No matter what I do I cannot get Games Stable. At Stock speeds,

I ran memtest for 30 loops no errors

Ive tried ATI 4870, GTX 280 Video Card Both New Vista 64 installs

but I can Run OCCT and Prime 95 for 12hrs with no errors

Again I am trying to Run my Q9550 At Stock


What else can it be?
