anyone have any good settings for memory performance for the g.skill 4gb 1066 memory??? im running 1037 bios, cpu at 3.8ghz, memory at 475 (5-5-5-15) timings. FSB is at 475, system is nice and stable, if anyone has good settings fot this set of memory please post, thanks.

Proc : E8600 @ 4.264ghz 533x8
Mobo : Asus Maximus 2 Formula
Ram : Team Xtreem PC2-6400 CL3's 2x1gb : 5-5-5-15 tRD 10 2.2v
PSU : Silverstone OP1000
OS :Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit


(Setting works for 4x1gb also.. didnt post cause rmaed one stick after running 1066 CL4 tRD 9 2.35v for nearly 2-3 months)






Always test in diagnostic mode on vista 64 and u will be able to use all the free rams as much as u want and disable prefetch also..

I trying this board on weekend....some problem on HOT Chipset Temperatur....I replace with MX2 thermalpasta...so I can reach FSB 615 but not stable yet !!

what are your settings? :p

[radaja]

has anyone experenced there pullins channels A-4/A-5-B-4/B-5 disappearing after changing settings in bios? sometimes after reboot they reappear,but most of the time need to reset cmos.

not for me, but I dont use them.
I'll try them enabled and see whats happens on a few reboots.

I found running them enabled did not benifit my setup

[radaja]

i always try to enable them cause it seems like increases my bandwidth as if i lowering about a half of a pl.(7.5) instead of 8.im starting the rma proccess,so i need to get a new board any recommendations? also thanks for your help w/this issue GrnFinger

I enabled all pull-ins
rebooted 15 times, they were there everytime.

Pull-ins disabled




Pull-ins enabled




As for motherboards if price is not a factor then Rampage X48 is what I would suggest.
But if you cross ship your RMA you will have a MIIF is under a week

What kinda bandwidth are you getting now?
I have a decent setup for F2-8500CL5D

@ Grnfinger , IM getting 8700 read 10067 write and 9500 copy at 475fsb PL10, timings 5-5-5-15, everything else set to auto, thanks.

Thats about the best I can do @ 1132MHz
have you tried a lower PL?
I'm running PL8 but my timings are rather relaxed to get them stable

Thanks bro, i appreciate it, ill try those settings when i get home. I have tried a lower PL, but it wont boot. The lowest i can go on 475fsb seems to be PL 10.

Nice setup, Grnfinger

[radaja]

@GrnFinger are you talking about the rampage extreme or the regular rampage?

@GrnFinger are you talking about the rampage extreme or the regular rampage?

Regular DDR2 X48 board
extreme would be nice but I'm not prepared to sell my kidney just yet

Hi,
really nice thread. Looks good

Anyone has a MIIF with P45 rev. A3?

[WhiteFireDragon]

does anyone know if a Sunbeam core-contact freezer HSF will fit this? the black retension brackets looks like it would hit the left and top mosfet sinks.

[al-]

Has anyone pushed Corsair PC2-8500C5DF past 2.1v?

I have run my ver 1.2 Dominators at 2.2 volts for months with no problems

i dont know, dont have one but the bracket on my Ultima 90 hit the top sink so i couldn't mount horizontally but was able to mount vertical. so, it seems the top sink is a lil closer than the left one.

Based on info I gathered from following this thread, I have my Q6700 rock solid at 3720MHz (465x8). During 4 hours of OCCT and 2 hrs of Prime 95, max load temp on any core was 54c. However, I just feel I can go higher. I'm not even taking advantage of that x10 multiplier. 400x10 would seem like a natural. I've tried vcore at 1.5v and the memory at 1.9v (G.Skill stated max), but can't get stable beyond 3720MHz. I've been able to boot into windows Vista 64, but it quickly bombs out to a black screen and reboot. What other settings do I need to tinker with? what setting do I need to post for you to have a look at? 4000MHz would be nice. Thanks!!!

higher FSB is faster I wouldnt use the 10 multi
9x450 would be a better setup imo and should be obtainable if your chip scales well.

Hey! I'v just got my new Asus Maximus II Formula, Can som Post (Or Re-post) some picz of their Bios-settings?

I've got an E1200 celeron CPU (yeah, i know - it sucks :P). I have reaced 3.45 ghz (1.425 volt) already, but i want to get longer, and since i haven't change anything besides volt-settings, frequency, and disabled all that Eist-function .

Someone?

[Lusken]

"Off course" am running my systems on Air, one Scythe Zipang, hopefully i will get True

So is it anyone that has dual-core CPU running on air.
