What clocks are aiming for? Please post your settings.

I'd like to get the same OC I had on the Maximus, 420x10. At this point I'll settle for being able to up the bus speed at all.

I've tried leaving everything on auto, manually setting voltages and timings and combinations. I tried Hartigan's settings and upped all of the voltages to the first setting where they go yellow. The result is the same - crash on Vista load. Keep in mind that all of this is with a bus speed of 340 and a 9x multi. That's what leads me to thinking it's a Vista issue.

What are your current settings?

What are your current settings?

Currently everything on Auto, except:
CPU Multi - 10.0
V DIMM - 2.10

Running OK with these settings. Going back to 9.0 multi and raising FSB from 333 stock to 340 = crash loading Vista at CPU voltage from auto to 1.7.

It's BIOS 0406 Beta BTW.

Okay, try this for starters:

Extreme Tweaker
Ai Overclock Tuner : Manual
OC From CPU Level Up : AUTO
CPU Ratio Control : Manual
- Ratio CMOS Setting : 10
FSB Frequency : 400
FSB Strap to North Bridge : 400
PCI-E Frequency: 112
DRAM Frequency: DDR2- 1066
DRAM Command Rate : 2T
DRAM CMD Skew on Channel A: AUTO
DRAM CMD Skew on Channel B: AUTO
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel A: 300
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel B: 300
DRAM Timing Control: AUTO (This is same as):

Primary: 5-5-5-15-3-AUTO (for 52)-6-3

Secondary: 8-3-5-4-6-4-6

Tertiary: 14-5-1-6-6

DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled
Ai Clock Twister : Moderate/Strong
Transaction Booster : Manual
CPL: 6

CPU Voltage :
CPU PLL Voltage : 1.50 - 1.56
North Bridge Voltage : 1.49v - 1.55v
DRAM Voltage : 2.1ov
FSB Termination Voltage : 1.300 - 1.36v
South Bridge Voltage : 1.100v
Loadline Calibration : Disabled
CPU GTL Reference : AUTO
North Bridge GTL Reference : x67
DDR2 Channel A REF Voltage :
DDR2 Channel B REF Voltage :
DDR2 Controller REF Voltage :
SB 1.5V Voltage :

NB LED Selection : NB Volt
SB LED Selection : SB Volt
CPU LED Selection : CPU VOlt
Voltiminder LED :

CPU Spread Spectrum : Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum : Disabled

With the Loadline Calibration disabled, if you haven't done the pencil mod, you'll need about .1v to make up the difference in vdrop (note, not vdroop).

Goodluck,

Richard.

Goodluck,

I really hate it when I outsmart myself. I sat down to try the settings that Richard reccomended and when I got to the CPU voltage realized that I wasn't up to 1.6V, I had gone "up" to 1.16V.

No wonder it wouldn't boot! I'm running at 400x10 now. Did a quick prime 95 run and was stable for 10 minutes or so. Now to some tweaking.

I don't think I ever made that noobish mistake before.

Thanks for the help!
