I'm now stable on 9x450. Nothing special but this is kinda OC and far better that I could get on non-plus board. I haven't tried higher yet. First gona tune voltages to minimum required for stable work at this frequency. I let you know

@ DemonEyez : How can u get that kind of temperatures from Chipset ( 34* ) couse i have the same board lets say and with 1.28 NB voltage i get like 50*++.

Ofc the answer was a water block, but you could also check how NB cooler fits and maybe change thermal compound. Do you have plus version? Mine plus is like 10-15C cooler then previous non-plus on the same voltage.

Captain slow here just got the joke

Looks like I'll be getting a Plus then what have you set in BIOS to get 1.4 in SG?

Hehe I ment exactly the same what DemonEyez said (quoted below). Maybe you should not raplace it. Are you still going to?

Seems that although you don't have a Plus board , you got a golden one

Just did some tests, I loose stability when lowering vNB and keeping those timings tight. Prime/Orthos fails after 4 hours.
So it seems that 1.40v is the minimum voltage required for those tight settings with my board

I'll revert back to looser NB timings and lower NB voltage (1.31v) for 24/7 use. Running with those tight NB timings and Performance Level only differs 300MB/s in Everest Read Bandwith and 3ns in latency.
In my opinion the 0.1v increase needed for that is far too much and not worth it for daily use.

I see you test stability quite hardly. My tests are for now rather briefly. But when I get some WC kit and higher frequencies then I do longer test runs.
Agree that for everyday use one doesn't have to squiz out all juice in a risk of damaging its rig.

Seems the Plus does have the better chips and does run with less voltage

The board undervolt a bit. I have to set 1.445v in Bios to get 1.40v in SG.
Same goes with vTT. 1.33v set in Bios gives 1.30 in SG.
But those voltages are rock solid, no fluctuations whatsoever

This is EXACTLY what I observed (and posted before). On non-plus voltages are varying and NB needs more V (at least set in bios).
Have I mist something, did you change your board from non-plus to plus version too?

This is weird, for ahci to work I have to enable the jmicron controller... Otherwise it just won't find any devices, even though the ahci screen shows that my hdd and dvdrw are present.

Damn weird, as you know I had troubles with sata controllers on this board already. This is another thing I observed. Stupid design idea or a bug :/
One more thing to mention to get SSD OCZ working with this board, BIOS has to be 10.03 and SATA controller needs to be in RAID/AHCI mode (with normal 7200rpm drive or non-plus version it isn't necessary).



What are those GTLs? But please do not paste me a link with specific technical details for couple of hours reading.
I gona to find and read something like that sooner or later ;]
For now I just need to know shortly common sense of this setting and what gives its value change.
