Maybe you'd call it Earthed? Ahh, English in all it's forms.

I am glad your system is working, but do u have any idea how much money and time you have wasted regarding the companies you RMA'd with? Just because you n00bed out dude, you need to stop blaming hardware errors on anyone but yourself. I make damn sure my parts are malfunctioning before they are sent back. 90% of the time it's just me forgetting a setting or doing something slightly wrong. Either way point is, SOO many RMA's don't need to be set up. Situations like yours will make it so the wise and knowledgeable will have an increasingly hard time dealing with these companies because of people like you. Not trying to be a man, but next time just make damn sure YOUR not the problem.

Dude there WERE faulty bits of hardware in my system ... psu/gfx! Im 100% sure lots of techys on this forum would have been baffled by my issue, how the hell was I to know it was my TV? It did the same on the headphones when next to the set, you crack me up with your "noobie" comments, if you’ve nowt to say decent don’t comment.

Does anyone here uses OCZ3RPR18004GK memory in combination with the 0605 bios?

I want to upgrade to 4Gb and Corsair memory is still very expensive at 1800Mhz. I found a webshop in my country that sells OCZ Reapers for 225,- euros. However my previous experience with OCZ 1600EB edition isn't really perfect to say the least. Wasn't possible to get the memory stable at advertised settings although this was on the 0405 or 0505 bios.

Im just starting out with overclocking my system and have run into problems (like most folks here have) with what settings with equipment. I spent the last 2 days going through boards to try to see what settings to try and experiment with. First off, this is the gear:

Asus P5E3 Premium Wi-fi-AP w/ 0605 bios
Intel Q9450
CORSAIR 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1800 (PC3 14400)

areca ARC-1231ML-1G PCI Express SATA II Controller Card w 2x MTRON 7500 (Raid 0)
GeForce GTX 280 HC16 Clear
ZALMAN ZM - Reserator1 V2 Water Cooling System

I started out with this
CPU Ratio 7.5
FSB Strap Auto
FSB Freq 450
DRAM Freq 1800
Dram Cmd Rate 2N
Timing 7-7-7-20-2T
Static Read Disabled
Static Write Disabled
CPU Voltage 1.325
CPU GTL (0/2) Auto
CPU GTL (1/3) Auto
CPU PLL Auto
FSB Term Volt Auto
DRAM Volt 2.0
NB Volt Auto
NB GTL Volt Auto
SB Volt Auto
Clock Over Volt Auto
Load Line Normal
CPU Spread Spec Disabled
PCIE Spread Spec Disabled
CPU Clock Skew Auto
NB Clock Skew Auto

The system booted up and CPU-z showed a Clock 3375 Mhz

I then tried

CPU Ratio 8
FSB Strap 400
FSB Freq 450
DRAM Freq 1800
Dram Cmd Rate 2N
Timing 7-7-7-20-2T
Static Read Disabled
Static Write Disabled
CPU Voltage Auto
CPU GTL (0/2) Auto
CPU GTL (1/3) Auto
CPU PLL Auto
FSB Term Volt Auto
DRAM Volt 2.0
NB Volt Auto
NB GTL Volt Auto
SB Volt Auto
Clock Over Volt Auto
Load Line Normal
CPU Spread Spec Disabled
PCIE Spread Spec Disabled
CPU Clock Skew Auto
NB Clock Skew Auto

The problem is that when I boot up and start up CPU-z it shows a core speed of

2700.3Mhz, 6x multiplier, Bus speed 450.0Mhz.


As soon as I actually run a program (super PI), it changes to

3600.2Mhz, 8x multiplier, Bus speed 450.0Mhz



Any reason why the multiplier would go up/down dynamically based on load? I have speed stepping turned off in the bios.... So Im thinking I need more voltage on the NB, any ideas?

Also thanks for the posts/info from deachus and SoulsCollective. You guys have solid info on this thread.

So whats the verdict on this board guys ? im looking for a new board, this board seems sweet?
