Odd, dont create instability here, well I dont want to know really if it does on my mobo if I enabled it that means 1.48V idle for 1.43 load..

Willhub if you enable LLC you get 1.48V idle and 1.43 load ? don't get that...

1.5V set in bios, gives 1.48V idle, 1.43V load, Vdroop I think it called.

So LLC is at AUTO or disabled ? I didn't get ya first phrase at all : "Odd, dont create instability here, well I dont want to know really if it does on my mobo if I enabled it that means 1.48V idle for 1.43 load.. read it 5 times and still not sure if it was on or not... apparently it's not...

Vdrop:
When you select a Voltage setting from the BIOS, and the real voltage applied is less than the selected voltage

Vdroop:
If the voltage flunctuates from idle to load, then the difference between the idle & load voltage value is named after Vdroop

When you tried without FSB strap did you have 1:1 still? Apparently the P45 is very sensitive to 1:1 and when I tried it I noticed settings it to 5:6 or something made it boot so it might not be the fsb strap but the 1:1 that makes it not boot under PL10.

That's intresting to say, becuase if you think, with the 266 strap i'm direct on the 4:5 divider, this it the lowest setting, and i'm back very stable.
Maybe the 333 strap with a other divider then 1:1 is good to boot above 420 FSB becuase this fails now with 333 strap and 1:1 divider.

You cant run 1:1 with pl less than 10. 1:1 I use pl 11, divider 333 strap I use 8. 400 strap broken with the bios I am using.

This is a fun board to play with, but the pll/vtt voltage readouts hard to reach with a tru installed.

Same here, good to hear that 1:1 never boots under PL10.
These are things you only know from testing, with some ppl testing it goes much better .

Yup thats what it does for me. Creates unstability and I don't need any more factors when I am ocing..

Well, LLC isn't any problem here, enabled or disabled, no difference .

EDIT: Gives no difference in stability. For Vcore it helps much ...

Hi.

I just tried LLC off now.

1.46V in bios is 1.42V idle and 1.4V load.

My E8500 must be the crappest ever, at 1.4 4.2Ghz the second core failed after 1 min, the first is still going now!!

Well guys, maybe i got tomorrow a P5E3 with some OCZ DD3 ram, but going to try some more before i switch.
