sy for my bad english

Nice numbers I tried your settings at 1800 with my x3350 cpu. No good for me. I get about 5 secs in memtest before it just freezes. Thx for posting tho.

Bios 1104 from both Asus global and China site fail to install for me. Goes thru checking about 6 or 8 times and then ends without installing. Could they have uploaded a bad file?

I am currently on 1002 and haven't had trouble in the past.

[slim142]

Try downloading it again.

[LeeH]

I will try that, but it will be the third time. Once from the Global site, a second time from the china site and I will try the third time from the china site.

....snip....Sorry for not being clear on this. I used the Prime x32 version in Vista x64 stable for more than 24 hours, but x64 Prime on x64 Vista hangs.It's just an application hang and not a total System hang.As soon as I kill Prime, everything is normal.

I re-read your post....makes more sense to me now....I sorta' misread it

Anyway, I've been priming with 64-bit prime all along....with the freezes and failures....never what you described though

What temps do you get on prime95 small FTT? or with Intel test? Just curious to see with your high Cpu voltage & oc

Nice results for your 1600 mem oc'd to 1850, on the other hand your 9-9-9 timings are keeping your read/write/copy from getting higher

[M1L2]

i had Prime Temps max. 60°

i had Prime Temps max. 60°

That is a great temp for that voltage & speed, must be a very good cooling kit.

with my QX9770 at 450x9 4050Mhz 1.42v my FTT & Intelburn temps go as high as CPU 75 Cº cores 68 Cº with the massive sooling setup I use (see my sig), although I also cool NB & 2x BFG GTX280 H2OC in the same loop

[M1L2]

I have 2 Metal Pads between CPU and CPU Cooler and i am cooling only CPU and NB with the Mora Pro with 9 Yate Loon Fans, my flow Rate from the Pump was 165L/h.

[my87csx481]

Anyone cooling the NB with Enzotech CNB-S1 with decent results? or Enzotech CNB-R1?

What about the SB with Enzotech SLF-1?

Thinking about removing heatpipe city. Not able to go to water anytime soon. Looking for alternative chipset cooling suggestions.

Thanks.

[my87csx481]

Another quick question, I'm using chipset raid 0 and I'm getting raid access errors. I'm using bios 1104, don't know if that has anything to do with it but, it was shortly after I flashed to 1104 that I noticed the problems. Anyone else experience similar problems?

Thanks.

No problems for me with this bios.

Tried the SLF-1 on the SB, it fits OK. The Evercool VC-RE is a better bet IMO, fits just as well:

[my87csx481]

Thanks Tyke. I have a vc-re sitting around somewhere that I was thinking to use for the SB. Still don't know about the NB.

I re-installed Vista and I'm still getting raid access errors.

Think I'll try and install without the raid and see if any other problems come up. Maybe it's my overclock

Hi all,

Trying to up the FSB on my QX9650 but having a few probs.

Memory is no problem and processor runs perfectly stable at 3.66 GHZ with tight memory timings at FSB of 1333 and also with memory unlinked at 1600 just by upping the multiplier, but if I try to up the FSB of the CPU above 1390 I get hard lock ups in Vista.

I have tried increasing the CPU voltage right up to 1.39v, I have had VTT up to 1.35, PLL up to 1.6, NB 1.6 SB 1.55 GTL Ref's both + and - values, NB GTL ref again both + and - values and so many combinations of all the above, I have lost track.

I have spent at least two months trying to get this clock increased but without any success.

So for my first question.

What are the known FSB black holes on this mobo.

and is this thread still active?.

I will get a complete list of my HW and settings and post tomorrow.

Thanks and help please...

I believe those raid errors are from the nvidia drivers. After those raid error messages check your drives with the nvidia control panal and the under my computer. If everything is working it may probably be a error message. I had that for a long time. If you are sure it is a driver problem and the drives are functioning well you can disable the message with msconfig. Disable NVRAIDSERVICE.exe. I have read that it is only a monitor program.

It's been sometime from my last post.
My computer still runs 100% all the time, it's on night & day 24/7

Where were you!!!

Recovering from spine surgery...nice to be back though

Nice to have you back bro
How is your 4th striker doing? Did you finally set up your water cooling system? (pics )

[Deathspine]

Slim142 have you made a chose of which is the best bios. I have had no real difference between the two that I can tell. I will wait till this weekend before trying to increase the overclock to see if 1104 is any easier then 901.

Hi Slim
Yes, my fourth board is really stable. Got the water cooling running fine. Played around with the CSX Diablo memory, couldn't get it to run any better at 1800MHz than my Corsair, I think they both have the same Micron Chips. It runs OK at 2000MHz, but memory performance is better linked and synced at 1800MHz. Tried the full 8GB but couldn't even get it stable at 1600MHz, haven't really played around with it though. Using 1104 bios it seems Ok, although I can get ever so slightly better memory sub-timings with earlier bioses. Can't get my QX9770 over 450FSB with any bios!
Glad to see you are still around lending a helping hand!!

Well to be realistic, I havent really tried 1104, but I just got really excited that I had it a day earlier and changelog wasnt that bad so I thought it might be an improved 0901 (didnt know I could share the BIOS, I will do so from now on )

I will also try to get a pair of CSX, hopefully 1800Mhz 8-7-6-18 1.9v
Really sad to hear 8gbs wont even run at 1600Mhz, as one day I would really like to fully use 8gbs of RAM
Dont tell me you cant get that CPU to 450FSB because you are not helping me at all! I want to run my Q9450 at 475Mhz at least! (maybe you can decrease your multi?)
And thanks for that, Im just trying to make everybody realize is just a couple of changes here and there and you can enjoy one of the best boards ever released

I can get the QX9770 to 450FSB easily, but nothing higher, even if I drop the multiplier. The CSX memory is great value, on a par with Corsair, which was twice the price. 8-7-7-18 at 2T seems to be the best I can get even if I up the voltage, I can get 8-7-6-18 on the Corsair. I agree that this is a great board now that the bioses are stable, just a shame I can't get that FSB any higher

Sorry to hear that
Have you tried really high NB voltage to make sure is not the board?
