Well, i've been playing around with this board for less than a week and i have to say to be very impressed by this board. It's very easy to oc and even on "auto" settings it reaches easily good clocks: as soon as it arrived i've pushed my q6700 at 3.6 with ram at 1152 simply setting the 360 x 10 on fsb, cpu vcore at 1.45 and ram at 2.3. Simply amazing. After spending the last eights months after buggies nvidia chipset (dfi lt680 and msi p7n diamond) trying to tune these board without a noticeable results and hardly finding stability, this mobo has opened a new world to me!
So, today i started trying to get the same 3.6 ghz with differents settings, 400x9 and 450x8. After readings anandtech's review of this mobo, it seems to me that the best settings was 400x9 with a Performance Level of 5 and ram at 1200. Well, after a couple of trying it resulted that a 450x9 with PL6 and ram at 1200 was way faster than the other setting (everest memory bench). Did i've done something wrong or can someone confirm my same results?
For now i can't get to a stable setup to keep 450x8, RAM at 1200 and PL6 - think it's my RAM that can't be stable @1200 since small fft test is stable but large fft fails after 4 minutes in prime95. And the board won't even post with different memory speed and PL6.
So i've ended to a lower settings, wich seems to be stable: 450x8 with ram at 1125 (5-5-5-15 2t) and PL7. Everest gives me these results: 9296 Mb/s read, 8073 Mb/s write, 8710 Mb/s copy and a latency of 54.8 - it is a good results?
Here is my voltage settings:
CPU PLL: 1.50 (1.552 read in bios?!?!?)
NB volt: 1.55
FSB Term: 1.30
Is there any key to get this board post (and get it full stable!) with a PL6?
