I haven't been posted for some time as I get sick and was in hospital

1st thing I have some annoying issue with hdd sleep mode. I've set in Vista power plan to get my hdds sleep after short period 1min. 1st is SSD, system rather keeps it in use and even if it sleeps it wakes up instantly.
One can ask why so short sleep period - to keep system silent. I had other hdd, Samsung S1 Spinpoint, well it isn't loud but I can hear it, besides I like idea of saving some energy too It's storage drive I use it rarely (however Vista sometimes wake it without any reason I don't know what for )
The issue is, when it waking up all system freez till it's fully started. This makes me mad grrrrr! I can't even move mouse cursor. It's even more frustrating when I'm doing something important or wathing movie/playing game and the drive shouldn't be in use but Vista think the opposite. I don't like system use disk without reasen but it wouldn't be so annoying if it hadn't freez everything
What coud cause this? What can I possibly try to get my system not freezing when hdd starting from sleep mode? It's now connected to Intel controller in AHCI mode.
I'm posting in this thread before starting other becouse maybe this is our mobo issue.
Anyone can check this please by setting power saving for short time and then accessing the drive after it gone to sleep?

1 thread prime large fft plus superpi32m:
...
WoW that's the score man
Thanks for making the test I asked. It's really good to know. Seems still much fun waits for me with this board. I'll try to get some better scores (then mine actual) when get some more time and better cooling than stock one btw. how do you cool NB with default heatsink?

I'm totally new to the overclocking scene and I wanted to learn the hard way by buying the P45 T2RS +.

I've read a lot, and tried a bunch of things. What I am aiming for is a 24/7 nice FSB. I was looking toward a ~4ghz CPU and maybe a synch with my ram, if it does improve performances (so 533mhz as my ram is pc8500, unless I'm wrong about synchronisation).

I've tried to got as much informations as possible before posting here, but I kind of need you guys on this one.

Most of the time, guides talk about Cpu, ram and NB voltages. But when I'm tweaking my T2RS+ and reading you guys, I see new words like Cpu PLL and GTL ratios. And these notions are not explained in the mobo booklet.

Could you explain to me the use or tell me somewhere where I could get informations about these notions? I'm really willing to learn without bothering the members of this forums all the time, but I'm somehow lost here.

Here is my hardware:

CPU: 8400 E0 @ Stock / Watercooled 28°C idle
Corsair Dominator PC8500 5 5 5 15 @ 2.2V
Dfi LanParty DK P45 T2RS + Bios 1003
Corsair HX520

I tried to go as high as 429 FSB, after that no boot to windows.
429 boots windows but freezes after 2 minutes of occt.
I've only modified the Cpu V (Till 1.3), Ram (always 2.2v) and NB V ( till 1.25).

Thanks a lot, and sorry to bother you. Still learning and willing to!

Edit (11/9):

Well, I can boot and run XP @ 495 FSB (6x495).
I did an OCCT for 30 minutes and it ran well. I'll do heavier tests when I'm done.
Here are the settings:

CPU: 1.34V
NB: 1.25V
VTT: 1.23V
RAM: 2.2V

GTLs: 63x 63x 61x

Can't boot at 533, won't even post. Do you guys know a way too boot with the previous settings without clearing the CMOS when the alarm beeps and the screen displays the bios checksum/floppy/keyboard error (bad settings error I suppose)?

Thanks a lot.
About GTL maybe this going to help http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=202292
You can also try different 1:1 settings 333/667 or 400/800.
1.25V can be not enough for 533MHz FSB.
Check ABS feature of your board to avoid resetting cmos each time OC fails.

I have this board with http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support...0/ASC-39320-R/ with 2 Fujistu MAU 3147NP drives.
If I attempt to run them in RAID 0, then you can't boot past the scsi bios.
If you allow em to be seen as individual drives, you are ok.
I had this running on another DFI board, the 975 Infinity with no worries.
It appears to be a hardware conflict of some description.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks
Well, the link you posted doesn't work for me so what board do you mean?
