This was posted a bit back by pnot if it helps.

Thanks wilson but is this for the 45nm or for the 65nm? The 1.5vcore for 45nms is kinda like dangerous .

Yep its for 65nm.

im gettin hardcore shuttering and slitches all 4 seconds since 714 bios on my LT x48.

i really dont know what i can do anymore. most new bios settings hurt me...

what can cause this slitches?

[zfactor]

i had the same i went back to the 604 one and it is running much better now

[zfactor]

no one has answered me yet on the special add vid.. is it okay to have to use that instead of the normal way of setting the vid? the only way for some reason to boot this mobo is to use the special add vid the other way it refuses to boot?? is there and disadvantage to it that way? seems to work fine with the add vid but i want to be sure

[Praz]

no one has answered me yet on the special add vid.. is it okay to have to use that instead of the normal way of setting the vid?

That's how I'm running the board right now. 500x8 with C1E enabled. Low volts and clocks at idle and just right when needed.

[zfactor]

and am i correct i have to have the special vid limit set to disabled? if i set it to enabled it does not add any voltage at all. even after a reboot it stays to whatever i set the actual vid for with the special vid enabled and set if you understand what i mean..

the jmicron sata ports make my system unstable also btw. for my oc i have now to remain stable they have to be disconnected when i reconnect them i can not pass prime or orthos at what im set for. with them unplugged it runs fine...

also why is it when i set the cpu vid to auto the choice for the special vid goes away? the minimum i have to have the cpu vid set to in order to use the special vid is 1.2v anything lower and it does not allow me to check it. is that normal. ive tried 3 different bios now with them all working the same way.

what would you suggest praz as the best starting point for gtl's on this 45nm e8500 im at 65 for them all right now. if i set it to default it refuses to boot. and if i change them even to 90 (i went down progressivly from there) or anything less it boots fine..

also on the comment you made above when i use the special vid say at 105.xx% which im at now with the regular vid at 1.2 i dont see any change at idle while in windows with cpuz or other. i di have c1e disabled though now so that would make that not work that way corect?

im really trying to work this board the right way and not just slap high volts on it and go.. and i know you are about finnesse from your posts at least i think you are.. and id love some more help with my settings if you could either here or at dfi club if you are willing. learning a lot i never worked with before this dfi, thanks again praz for the help through my learning experience...

sorry to ask even one more thing but can you or someone post a bios template here so i dont have to go through all 78 pages.. so i can fill it out and maybe that will help with someone working on my settings a bit. thanks again to everyone here at xtreme / club dfi who has taken time to help me with this dfi.. i do really appreciate it...

Needs to be set to "Disabled" to adjust "Special Add".

the jmicron sata ports make my system unstable also btw. for my oc i have now to remain stable they have to be disconnected when i reconnect them i can not pass prime or orthos at what im set for. with them unplugged it runs fine...

Because of additional loading. No different then increasing the overclock.

also why is it when i set the cpu vid to auto the choice for the special vid goes away? the minimum i have to have the cpu vid set to in order to use the special vid is 1.2v anything lower and it does not allow me to check it. is that normal. ive tried 3 different bios now with them all working the same way.

My guess is the E8500. The BIOS may need a microcode update. I can check on that.

You don't say what FSB. I don't usually touch GTLREF till about 530 FSB or so.

also on the comment you made above when i use the special vid say at 105.xx% which im at now with the regular vid at 1.2 i dont see any change at idle while in windows with cpuz or other. i di have c1e disabled though now so that would make that not work that way corect?

You don't see any change in the voltage because VCORE needs to stay on "Auto".

^^^ awesome info thank you praz. the fsb right now is about 480 from what im at this moment. but if i leave the gtl's at default i cant boot?? you think there is a problem there? as soon as i lower them to about 90 or lower the system booted right up for me.

right now im running the 604 bios is there a better one for the e8500 you would recc.

ill fill out the template tonight when i get back home and hopefully you can help me out some if you would not mind. i would very much appreciate it. thanks in advance.

[zfactor]

im finding i have to use the feature to lower the fsb though during boot. i had to set it to 200 or on a cold boot i get a quick on then off and have to reset the bios. with it at 200 it boots fine and is now stable as can be (so far over 1 hour on orthos) and everything seems fine. is this a okay thing to use?? any idea why its needed in this case??

and with a slight bump in the special vis i was able to set the gtl back to default settings also.. not sure though if i should leave them at the 65 i was using with the vid total at 1.296 or leave then at default and im at 1.31vid to be stable?? which would be better?

[CERO]

whats currently the best BIOS for 65nm Quad cores ( Q6600)?

[SuporterPoli]

Are you guys running with the Vcore drop control enabled or disabled?

[zfactor]

mine is enabled im wondering if i should try disabled though just for the heck of it

[wilson]

Can any1 post a link for the 602 bios pls.
Cheers Paul

[zfactor]

hmm still have to use the boot feature to remove 200fsb during boot .. but with that enabled this thing is rock stable at 4.1 ran orthos overnight and running / testing at 4.2 now and stable for over 30 min so far.. now i need to fine tune things though.. ill post up a bios template for praz in a bit.. thanks everyone for all the help

[Jultsu]

whats currently the best BIOS for 65nm Quad cores ( Q6600)?

I had luck with the latest 714 bios. I'm running my quad 9x400 with vcore 1.344v, GTL disabled, NB 1.440v, PLL 1.640v, VTT 1.266v. I don't remember ever getting it stable at 3,6GHz with 8GB before.

[Fantom007]

i really dont know what i can do anymore. most new bios settings hurt me...

reinstalled windows. shuttering is gone. must be a softwareproblem.

714 bios works fine now

thnx where can I find 714 BIOS? and how can I flash a BIOS? I got a USB/CD-rom.

[zfactor]

here is the 714 one for you get it from this page: http://www.dfi.com.tw/Support/Downlo...FLAG=B&SITE=US

i know no one here recc it but i always flash with windows and never had a issue but i have a spare bios chip here. other wise set the bios to look for the usb drive first put the disc in and reboot follow prompts

[AriciU]

Dropped the NB voltage to 1.28v. Still no problems. Good temps at 1.32v this time around




Is there anywhere i can get the Bios template settings list from or should i just copy/paste and fill mine in? I think i'm just about done for 24/7 settings.

[zfactor]

copy and paste yours in there... man that is sweet.. i WISH i could get my temps that low.. wow... how the heck are you stable at the low of a nb voltage thats insane ill have to try that a bit lower im at 1.35x now on the nb..

how is it your temps are 60 all the way around?? at max , min, and currently??? are you sure the sensors have not stopped at 60?? i had that with my first e8500 with core 0.. i could only wish for that overclock.. with those temps on air if they are correct...nice

Yeah, they stopped at 60C. It was night, bit cooler outside though... 20C versus 30C during the day when i was testing it previously

Yeah, NB is no problem. It's low fsb man. I think i'd need over 500 to need any more volts for it. I think high NB is only needed for quads and 4gb ram or more.

[zfactor]

hmm i have to try to drop mine some more i know at the stock speed it was def not stable

nb can be reduced with perfect gtl setting even cpu
every board will have slight different glt voltage
i'm using 1.55v instead of 1.614 34c pl7 @ 500fsb and 2.0v for 1200mhz on memory
just takes time n patience
