I believe Guacamole was the one having the vcore issues, but i have a rebooting issue when using 200 base clock. Pretty much what happens is, if i shut my system off, 19x200 3.8ghz fully stable, never crashes, never hangs, but if i completely shut the system down, and start up again, i get the two boots, remember back in the days of the ASUS 965 Deluxe board.

sounds like its not full stable then or some weird issue with your PSU and board

i will try this with my setup

so if i bench with certain settings past say 200MHz bus, shut down, pull the power cord and then turn it back on i should get this sort of issue every time

we have the same PSUs so it will show for me if it is PSU related

More or less... I could install it, but every time i boot Vista got a Easytune upgrade message. For twice i played with Easytune but once i had a BSOD and i uninstall it and never tryed again.

I really don't need it, since i use Everest readings and bios for OC.

It is your CPU...

some Core i7 CPUs have problems with the 20 multiplier above 3,8Ghz! I saw it now on some
i7-920 and 965XE that they won´t run 20x200 but 19x211 or 190x21.

My first 920 had the same problem...

19x200 = stable
20x200 = reboot
19x211 = stable

Edit: btw Bios F4F have problems with multi GPU systems.. If you have SLI or CF then don´t use it!

My 920 behaves like:

20x160 = no need to mix with voltages
20x180 = stable with manual voltages
20x190 = stable with manual voltages
20x200 = not stable
19x200 = stable, but with dual boot.

I'm with bios F3. Tryed 280GTX SLi and worked perfected... What a great performance!

[dinos22]

the FIRST thing i suggest you do guys is flash to F4F bios

i found that one easiest to use for bus clocking

report back afterwards

[Ghigo]

No f4f for extreme still, we on wait for the announced on test, f4g

About easytune trying get some statistics so far 75% of people on vista 64 cant run it, think only people with old vista upgraded after to sp1 get it running, vista sp1 oem is a sure no go for easytune

[dinos22]

oh sorry yeah i'm on UD5
maybe flash to latest beta bios
