i had the same problem but i had a QX6800 i could get to 3.8 stable but trying to hit 4 it would become unstable. i wasnt able to fix this problem. how are you temps during load? have you tryed moving the cpu glt anymore then just 30+ i know i had a diff cpu but i had mine at i think 40+ is the next step up (i dont have my s2f anymore) maybe moving your multi to 9? what type of cooling are u using?

Load temp max 45C I using water cooling. I can not change on 9, because max the multiplier this CPU 8.5x i try to set GTL +40

NB temp on LC max 32C
SB -||- -||- 42c

[funk32]

my setting with a QX6800,OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 / 1066MHz / Fatal1ty Edition, 2x8800gt sli. I know some of my volts were alittle high but she didnt heat up on my much more then 58c full load for 2 hours, the only thing that i had a problem with was NB/SB the contact between my heatsinks and the nb/sb was y as seen on the last page (57).

FSB 345
multi x11
linked ram at 1080mhz
BIOS:1802
CPU:1.50
CPU PLL:1.62

CPU GTL:+40

forgot to say my cpu was LC'ed

Nicely done, but I think you could get better men timings than that of what you have. trying using 4-4-4-8 CR1/CR 2

4-4-4-8 CR1/CR 2 2.1v-2.3v not post

[CROSSHAIR]

best ram performance in striker 2 formula 475fsb or high
only 475 fsb 4.4.4.12 1t @950 not stable in 780i best everest record
475 fsb 4.4.4.12 2t 100% stable only good

[seba84_2005]

4GHz is possible on S2F & Q9550

how are you able to keep the sb and nb that cool. You cant use watercooling on sb and nb :S

[seba84_2005]

Yes watercooling on NB and SB

[keiko]

how can you do that. SB and NB dont have protection like the cpus chip u see to support the water cooling
if i knew better about nvidia chipset i would have gotten asus rampage formula

[Hor$eman]

There's plenty of options for WC the NB and SB/NS200

Here's a link to one of them

EK Waterblocks

If you looked back through this thread, you would see plenty of pictures of WC NB/SB/NS200s

[EvoCarlos]

LOL water cool the sb and nb tis just a waist of cash slap a fan on the nb job done

I wish it were that easy, these things produce more heat than 12 nuclear reactors

[Sunsetgt]

OK i have this board it's an upgrade from my striker that i rma'd. i geuss i can call it an upgrade however my ram from my old striker will not even post.
Thats why i am here i have 4 gigs of crucial ballistix tracer(4x1).
My system is a e6600,8800 gts and the x-fi card.

I have tried to set the time in the bios on this cheap ram then reset and swap the sticks however thats a no go, my bios is fully updated.

once i install any of the sticks and try to boot i get codeini on the lcd poster, but the lights on the ram are flashing if that counts for anything ha

any help would be nice, and last but not least will the OCZ Flex EX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1200 (PC2 9600) work on this board?
i am watercooled as well.

[EvoCarlos]

I wish it were that easy, these things produce more heat than 12 nuclear reactors

well i think its only 11 nuclear reactors

mine work great with an 80mm fan on the nb for 8 months
but that was untill the pmw pop'd sending for rma soon

[keiko]

pretty sleek design, the cooler. But yeah one cooler alone for just nb is whooping expensive.

Anyway asus granted my wish they agreed to trade my asus striker II formula with asus rampage formula, the one with intel chipset instead. So im happy

Hi guys

You know maybe where there are points to the measurement voltage CPU on S2F? I want to check what be real vcote on CPU

[Vyyrus]

I need help getting my q6600 stable at 3.0ghz. Anybody have any settings for me to try out? I have it somewhat stable but still get a bsod every once in a while. Here is what I changed to get it to boot into 3.0ghz. This is all I messed around with. I figured with it being such a mild overclock I didn't have to do too much but maybe I am missing something? Help me please. I also did my memory timings of course which is on the qvl sheet for compatible ram.

Vcore - 1.36250
CPU PLL Voltage - 1.52
CPU VTT Voltage - 1.32

All I can say is that I have finally managed to get a decent over clock on C2D e6750 by Linking and Syncing with the Ram + Increasing the GTL refs.

hi, I updated my s2f bios to 1802, and I want to have at least 3.5 to 3.6ghz in air cooling in my e8400, my question is do I need to disable my AIsuite so I can preform a stable OC for 3.5/3.6ghz ?

also could you give me a guid on what part should I setup in my bios setting in the overclock section?? I dont know which setting do I need for me to be able to OC my CPU??

thanks
