X48 Rampage Formula Preview.

I tried your settings zucker, and still prime fails within seconds........it passes memtest in dos, but in windows it fails within seconds, im guessing it has something to do with the NB, maybe i need to remount it????, with 1.43v it idles at 50-52c loads at 58c..........this is very weird

No, don't touch anything yet, simply revert DRAM:FSB ratio to 1:1; set RAM frequency to 900. Don't touch anything else for now.

Edit: You'll probably have to up Performance Level to 8.

Or raise the nb a notch.

Alright.

Well I'm still having cores crap out at around 30 minutes.

The temperatures seem a little high but I'm not sure. I topping off at around 65c on cores 2 and 3, which I guess is OK if it's only happening at peak usage circumstances.

Below is a screenie of my Voltages, temps and Memory timings so you can see what I'm running and deduce what I need to change.


FYI, since you can't see it . . . I'm running my Core and NB GTLs at 0.67x like you suggested Zucker2K. I also lowered the vFSB from the 1.520V to the 1.504.

I'm definitely open to any solutions.

Thank you!!

Leave all of your previous settings intact and try this instead:

Set both GTLs to x67
Reduce FSBT to 1.28

Also, if you're having core failures, then you want to play around with vcore a bit. Especially if you're running prime blend (which seems to require more vcore for 4x2Gb than small ffts).

Tried this as well, with no luck, this is very strange indeed......i have never had a board that was this bad at overclocking, and it cost $325 USD

Also what MHZ do you guys use for PCI-E??
