Asus P5E3 Premium Wi-fi-AP

Cmon an E8600 can give at least 4.5Ghz 24/7 stable with this awsome board!!

Even my Q9450 is at 3.7Ghz 24/7 (FSB 470)

[Alex-Ro]

It is the FSB that matters not the frequency

It can give even more...But take a closer look to the FSB in my screen, it is not the CPU I was testing

Yes I noticed, what i'm talkin bout is that 470FSB pushes the mobo cuz its a quadie. With my quad even with muliplier in the minimum possible i can reach the same with the multi in 8x so i might.

Im bet you can get atleast 590~~600FSB out of that.

I see some good setup there
Very good

I have a question about putting it all togheter: high ram/fsb frequencies does means lots of vNB right ?
What about that setup? : fsb 610/ram976cas7 (5:8 strap333) PL9, do you think it is possible with a coeff @7.5 or 8 ?

all this with good cooling naturally...

[Monstru]

Yes, the vNB must be adjusted properly, which might not always be a good thing for 24/7 usage.

610x8 is possible, but to use that for 24/7 you need a truly gem E8600 and quite some volts put into it...so It might not be such a good ideea

ok, that was for sure an evidence, but who knows some hardware are soo amasing! I wanted someone else his advice to calm my envy to push it because I got this http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=45gpb1cc3.png today, just must finish some CAS8 ram Oceing on a X38 WS and all them BIOSes before I put it on (can't wait dude...)


What does it looks like ? not too bad I beleave... 'hoping so

Its looking good. I envy you guys with the E8600 (shame on me to buy Q9450 , but id dint know about the E86 at that time...)

Yes, it evolves so rapidly, so if your quad is good, don't be sad because it is terrific at some 3D benches and WPrime, ...

[tomati]

Well....what do you think of this for a 24/7 setup

I would say, I need your setting

VNB , VFSB , Strapp , Skew ? etc ...



I'm trying to stabilise mine E8600 @ 7.5 * 600 32M is fine but get an error in Occt

NO WAY!!!! don't give it to him

Hi ToyTen,

[ToyTen]

Hi ToyTen,

I won't be skrewed too long anymore

What Max FSB did you reached till now? I really can't wait to put my new cpu on Premium and defeat our 666,6 and not under autocascade this time (could I be dreaming )

see you

[tomati]

Didn't have the time yet to test the max FSB

I'm still trying to pass 32M @ 2000 cas7 , just failled at the 24th iteration, too hard.

Asking a lot from your rig
just don't hang too long at high voltages on your OCX mem's, they will suffer more than necessary! And quiet too rapidly

[Monstru]

ToyTen...nice daily setup...4500 is a nice blast for daily use

tomati

VPLL - 1.6v
VFSB - 1.36v
VNB - 1.66v
Strap - 400
Skew - default

The settings are no secret, since no two board and two CPU's work the same.
What works best for me might not work for you, and the other way around.

What you are looking for here is the good vnb voltage, and the right vPLL & VTT combination... I bet you have seen allready that sometimes more is not better, so you have to find the right combination for your rig


A question for you guys....how does your Premium work out with Samsung IC's Ram? Mine is pretty shaky over 2000MHz and I really don't like this...

[tomati]

Thanks for the sharing Monstru , at least it show me a way were I have to look at

I only have CSX ram with micron chips (D9GTR)

Guys.. I need your opinion on something... My system is stable at 3800mhz with the RAM running at 1140mhz (6-5-5-20-1T). The next step to choose is (because of Strap) 1520mhz. I changed the timings to 7-7-7-24-2T and it runs memtest86 without any trouble. Now, with this set I can't run the prime blend test as it fails within minutes. The small FFT test seems to be ok. So the issue I'm facing is that the memory seems stable in DOS with memtest and the CPU seems stable in Vista OS but the system as a whole is not. Like I said the blend test fails and also when starting up a game (LOTRO, Warhammer) it crashes during loading. My vNB is set very low at the working settings so I thought I need to increase vNB to compensate for the higher RAM frequency. I went from 1,41 to 1,55 but the system remains unstable. It's weird that with more relaxed timings and 2T the system is not stable. Also strange is that the RAM only requires 1,7v to get through the memtests.

Could it be that I need to increase the vNB even more? It's watercooled so I have some headroom.
Who helps me deal with this strange issue. It kinda sucks to have the memory run below it's designated speeds.

[Monstru]

We take it up a notch, yes?

what is your fsb in thoses cases ? in case of quiet high fsb on quad cpu's the right vFSB is also to be found for stability. I ask this only because you do not talk about it, maby your computer in deed needs more vNB, you got to sort it out.

here is my thought on this

[JohnnyV]

Cheers

For 3800mhz the FSB is put at 475 for the Q9450. I think it may be something else. All the time I've been clocking with my main vista install and I think I may have broken it a bit :P

I was getting system hangs at various moments. Playing a game, browsing... just random. Even when putting back the OC profile it hung. As I had this in the beginning as well have now reinstalled vista again and it seems stable now again at 3800mhz. If I'm gonna try further clocks or memory tweaks I think I will hook up my old 36Gb raptor with windows XP x64 on it. Prolly a bit safer

What would be considered save maximums for vFSB?

yup^^ a suffering OS is very annoying

About Vfsb, the lower the better, 1,5v during days till now didn't dammaged my components. Doing some random testings I forgot to set it back from 1,3v for 500 at the fsb, I putted 610 fsb and it booted AND benches where good also

I think anyway (according to readings, no sources, sorry) that 1.3v is the bet high safe voltage. The other persons here will probably come with their experiences

Over 2000 MHz gets weird no matter what ram you use. I have had this ram up to about 2100MHz, but it was really unstable.
Samsung IC's @ 2000MHz, they like advance skew.

[JohnnyV]

isn't it the 1T CR that is acting up?
I think it's pretty nice to get 2ghz with 1T.

[Monstru]

Thx Flasker, I will try some more
