F4j gave the free turbo cpu multi permanently. Aside from that, not much difference.

yes

Did you try right clicking and running it XP compatibility mode?

[Nilos]

final settings.

How stable is your cpu? I cant get it prime stable at 4200 everything ON.
Could you share your bios file with me?

[Xello]

Figured it was about time i did one of these fancy pics...

This was a quick OC tonight, no tuning done on voltages to find out what i actually need, memory timings not touched, etc, far from final!

Thanks, yeah I'd tried that. Even tried SP2, no luck. Which os are you using?

It doesn't matter what os your using easy tune with ati card = crash.

[fornowagain]

It wouldn't work with a nasty old GeForce 6200 and no graphics drivers at all.

Working fine here, ati card.

It's completely stable and unfortunately I'm not sharing my file with you

Vista Prem 32b.

[Hornet331]

Working fine here, ati card.

what cat?

i never got it to work,not even on win xp sp3.

Cause it always crashed when dedecting the Videocard.

XFX GTX260 BE and HD4870X2 here and doesnt work neither with Nvidia or ATi

I´m using Windows 7 32bits + Ati 4870 and EasyTune works just fine.

[yenniedn]

EasyTune works for me on Vista 64bit w/ 2x 4870x2 in CFX using Catalyst 8.12.

I spent most of last night reading all 30+ pages of this thread because I have the Extreme board and cannot resume from S3 sleep. At least one or two others in this thread have had the same problem - has anyone figured out what the cause is and how to fix it?

I had my first board replaced b/c two of the SATA ports went bad . . . but on BOTH boards, I could not get S3 sleep to work properly. Any ideas?

[siemens_wolf]

I'm using ex58-ud5, i7 920, and F4R BIOS, with 180*20, cpu 1.28v, qpi 1.28v, cpu/pll 1.84v, vdimm 1.58v,turbo on, ht on. all else default....

it runs well, prim95 also fine. memtest wen 2000% ok. but one small problem occurs when I was watching movies with this PC. After watching about one hour or so, the sound would suddenly went very small, and then came back normal. It last a few seconds. And this occured several times during the movie show. and then, it's fine again.

so should I increase some other voltages, say ioh, or some others?

BTW, should I test if the integreated sound card is stable or not, is there any specific test that I should run?

[freshy]

easy tune 6 doesnt work here either, thats with a 4870 1gb 32 bit vista, i tried to get it going last night again,

ive noticed there is a big difference in voltages needed between 1 hour prime , 5 hours prime 10 hours prime even 20 hours prime, and then even after 20 hours or more of prime , it still isnt stable enough to run 2 smp clients folding and ive tried small ftt and blend tests, thats with HT on and turbo on

[speckled10]

hey guys, i got a question, first i got 4ghz 14 hours prime stable with 1.375v vcore , qpi/vtt 1.315v

then i flashed to f4n and i needed more vcore so i flashed back to f4k and i still needed more vcore so i ended up doing 21 hours of prime @ 4ghz @ 1.395v vcore

anyway i was folding with 2 smp clients and when i got up this morning the pc had crashed, but when it crashes it doesnt just restart , it kinda just hangs and my gpu fan revs flat out until i push the restart button,

anyone else getting that when it crashes ?

and why is it crashing after 21 hours of prime small ftt, i also ran memtest86 ver 2.10 to test memory and that was ok

Hey Freshy ..

I think you were onto something with these settings ..

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=657

I used exactly these settings & been priming for 90mins + now which is farthest I've ever got at at 4Ghz CPU clock .. lowest temps too ..

But I'm confused about your Vcore .. your later posts here are saying you had to up the Vcore to ~1.39V after BIOS updates ..

But then the link in your sig to 4Ghz settings show Vcore of only 1.328V (CPU-Z) .. back on 12-10-2008 ..

So what were you using for that test ? QPI/Vtt volts etc ?

[Lukee]

F4m was bad here as well. I had to revert back to f4j as well.

Same here.

[Ghigo]

Same here never got easytune or des working and tested every version possible, SP1 /SP2 but never got problems with S3

[Lukee]

yep , easytune doesnt work here neither (Vista 64bit)

It works for me, then again I have User Accounts disabled.
