I was playing Assassin's creed and it crashed , gave an application error. (something like : memory can't read XXX adress ... )
After it , i ran the " blend " test after a minute prime95 crashed too . Gave an application error.(something like : memory can't read XXX adress )
I've ran three hours small FFTs yesterday and was stable.
I've read somewhere that if it gives an error in blend or large-FFT's, playing with NB,NB GTL REF may work .
Is this true ? What should i do now ?

Edit: My RAM's were rated as 2.1V at 1200MHz at 5-5-5-18 ( trfc 33 ) , but i'm using them at 1278 MHz at 5-5-5-15 ( trfc 40 ) .
I tried to use as def. 5-5-5-18 but gave error again.
Finally i tried to raise the dram voltage by 0.02V = 2.12 V and now it passed to test 4 and there is no error yet.

When i edited this message , i got rounding error on core0 but there was no application error this time .


Edit :I tried again and got application error after 7 mins.

Tried to lower the DRAM freq. to 1137MHz and no errors and application error for about 15 mins.
So, what may cause this errors or/and application error ?
NB voltage ? DRAM voltage ?

BTW , i changed the NB GTL REF from AUTO to 0.630.

DRAM Read Training: Enabled ( was AUTO )
MEM. OC Charger: Enabled ( was AUTO )
AI Clock Twister: Lighter ( was AUTO )

I have AI Transaction Booster at AUTO , should i change it to manual ? If yes , to which level should i change ?

Stable for about 25 mins.

Leeghoofd, what skew values did you use for RAM?

I used 100ps delay for both channel A (only actually using channel A1) and nothing for channel B.

think it was 150 with my Gskills mate...

Don't change all at once, how will you know now what helped ? Was it the lower ram clock or the other settings or a mix off...

What was your error now ? was it running them rams way out of spec with too tight latencies and trfc...? have you tried to run them 1278 with 5-5-5-18 Trfc 55 ? if you would like to run them at these speeds think you will need a bit more than 2.12 in bios , I need 2.3 real for just 1200mhz with my Gskills... mine can't even get as far as yours.... you got some nice rams there cherish them

You're right .
I was panicked when it crashed in prime .
As you said , changed lots of settings at once .
When i first installed my rams i wanted to run at 1201 MHz at 2.1V 5-5-5-18 trfc 35 , because they were rated at 2.1V and trfc 33 .
But 35 didn't work and 've tried 40, 40 was OK.
I've ran memtest86+ with no errors .But today while playing a game i got application error and after that tried to run blend test , it gave application error too. After that made the above changings.

Now , it's stable for about 55 mins. ( blend )
rams are @ 1134MHz @ 5-5-5-19 trfc40 @ 2.12V now.

Now , what do you recommend me to do first to change the ram freq. back to 1278MHz ?

Edit : Got error on core0 .

Edit2: Now , set back to 1278MHz @ 2.14V(0.02V increase) @ 5-5-5-19 trfc 60 ( always running at 40 ) .
Stable for about 50 mins.

Edit3: Again error on core0 after 52 mins.

Now raised the NB Voltage to 1.36V . ( was 1.34)

Now raised the NB Voltage to 1.36V . ( was 1.34)

With raised NB voltage got error on core0 just after 30 mins.
Will try to fix it tomorrow.

Just measured vDIMM here... Voltages are exact same as BIOS setting... I set 1,98v. for 1080 5-5-5-15 because i know this mobo has some overvolt, but it was unstable because my RAM need little more than 2v. to do this... So i measured and now i set 2,02v. in BIOS and measured again and it is also same as BIOS... I am vith BIOS 1201 to test it for second time with my new CPU

My 24/7 clock is 8x475 = 3.8ghz @ 1.336v IntelBurnTest stable (20x). It was prime95 blend stable for 2 days at 1.312, and overnight at 1.304,
so no more wasting hours testing for half-stability. I've bumped vtt & nb core since these screenshots, but if all you want is prime/occt stability...







Ai clock twister: lighter
Ai transaction booster: auto



I have gone up to 3.99ghz / 499fsb on this board, and with my ep45-ds3r I have done an hour of prime95 small ffts at 4ghz. Very happy with my chip & both boards.

I was hovering around 80-85 C when 4ghz with prime95... but I started using IntelBurnTest today and
wow does it get the cpu hot. First time I have tripped the PROCHOT switch.

500fsb is a no go on the p5q-e but I ran IntelBurnTest run 10 times. I had to increase some of my voltages to get a 2 day
prime95 blend-stable box stable with IBT so it seems pretty good at what it does.

I'm sure I don't need vcore this high since I did 4.0ghz on my ep45-ds3r with 1.42v, but I was going for 500 and when I wasn't willing to increase any voltages I just backed down to 499 at the insane levels to see if it was a wall. it was.



here she is:


nb cooling! yup... i haven't attached the fan yet so it's held up by a usb stick.

With raised NB voltage got error on core0 just after 30 mins.
Will try to fix it tomorrow.

Tried to raise dram from 2.14v to 2.16v ; got error after 15 mins again on core0 with blend in 2nd 8k test.
I tried to run a custom blend test after it and then i set 8k test manually and ran , there was no error in 2nd 8k test this time
I can't understand
