radaja, that looks good to me.
once you settle with an overclock that you like to use the most then test it more thoroughly, otherwise you will spend too much time waiting.
since 8GB ram system there may be more chance for a ram soft error, so if your file and data are the most important thing for you, you should check your overclock setting again and again and mostly check the system memory more with both DOS and Windows based memtest program.

@bluestang , try this setting should able boot up at 533 FSB but not guarantee to stable

BuGjAE, no boot at these settings. Tried a higher vcore also no boot. Just tries once to boot, then reboots to safe/backup BIOS settings. Any ideas? Think its RAM settings or most likely CPU & MCH Refs?

PangingIII or Zodden, you have ran 8x533 with Dominator ram right? What am I missing?

[radaja]

thanks for the info, pangingIII. i'll do what you suggest,even though i have nothing important to save or worry about.i just use my computer for overclocking and surfing the web.anyways heres my next one.same voltage settings.

[hollaback04]

nice overclock radaja, run a intelburn test on it at max stress

[pangingIII]

bluestang,

i've never tried 2x2GB Dominator, but anyway, can you boot in to bios with anything below the 533fsb? can you boot into Windows at 520fsb and with ram 1:1?

[radaja]

hollaback04,here you go.it took awhile,each test was about 22 1/2 minutes long. at maximum stress level, in task manager it showed it was using 7.35 gigs of ram to start.by the fifth run it was 7.13 gigs.as you can see,it took about 1hr 47minutes to complete 5 runs.

[bluestang]

PangingIII, BuGjAE and all others...thanks for the info. It looks like I'm on my way to getiing this. I little more tweaking and testing still needed though. Is 333 or 400 strap better at 500+ FSB? I would like get to 533 FSB with ram 1:1 for my setup. That or what I have now should be fine for 24/7 right? Thanks again guys and I'll keep ya posted on my results. On top of Orthos I also ran SuperPi 32M @ 12m04.937s.

[fatguy1992]

Could someone please tell me how to set the memory performance level through the BIOS?

Cause when I run a FSB over 475 memset doesn't show me the performance level and I can't change it, therefore I get ultra bad memory bandwidth.

Thanks

[radaja]

fatguy1992,go into the advance timing control section,then in channel A advance timings its called static t-read value.do the same for channel B.

[fatguy1992]

Thanks radaja

I'll give it a go

[fatguy1992]

Does anyone know why I can't get my UD3P to post if I use a PL lower then 10?

Sorry I don't know how to do one of those list thingys everyone else does .

[neo mike]

You need to not leave your memory subtimings on auto, you need to set them manually.

[valtopps]

anyone using f7a or f7b bios yet?

[fatguy1992]

You need to not leave your memory subtimings on auto, you need to set them manually.

Could U give me an idea of what I should set them to?

Thanks

[BuGjAE]

@fatguy1992, you should use any other strap than 333 may try 400 strap ,because strap 333 is more tighten timing RAM if you gonna use PL 9, or u may try FSBRAM 1:1 with 400 strap and muti 2.00 D basiclly, anyway increase a littlebit bit MCH core to get boot more easier.

[fatguy1992]

OK i'll give it a go.

[Nelly]

I've just been sent Bios: ep45ud3p.F7c

I've got to goto work now but I'll upload it for download in around 5 hours.

[neo mike]

i would run the memory on the 266, or 333 strap to get the best performance, 400 is looser, and easier to run memory, but you will take a peformance hit, try the 333 strap. Sorry fatguy, what memory sticks you running ? and what speed do you want ?. Most of the time you need to set the subtimings loose, to get it to boot, then work you way down on tighting them up.

[fatguy1992]

I'm using my CellShock PC2-8500 CL5's that do 1066MHz w/ less then 2.0v. I just want to run 1066MHz with PL8.

[MaXThReAT]

Well I'm looking at a greedy Q6600, VID 1.3250 Two cores want at least 1.50625v set in the bios with LLC enabled to boot to 3.6GHz. Temps around 60c at full load, 32c idle. Very stable so far though.
What's the max Vcore I should push on a 65nm Q6600 on water, 1.6v ?

The max safe vcore is 1.55v.

Also I got my PL to 7

Thanks for the help guys

The max safe vcore is 1.55v.

Also I got my PL to 7

Thanks for the help guys

Nice PL. 1.55v... is that in the Bios or as seen in CPU-Z or similar?
I'm about to start tightening things up here. Can anyone assist with some recommended settings?-4GB Dominator DDR2-8500 I'm pretty much on auto.
BTW. I'm using the red slots.
