Well you may want to try reseting the bios completely with the little reset button on the back and redoing your bios settings to make sure something in the bios isn't causing the issue.

Also memtest86+ 2.11 proved to be reliable for quickly pointing out memory errors for me, test 5 was the one that would always error when I pushed my memory too far. http://www.memtest.org/

What are the voltages you are running?

WOW! That's a low vcore for that clock! What's the cooling?

I reseted the bios like you said and it seems to be stable at 1.54v now. Using 2t though

I'll do some tests with memtest this weekend, thanks for the link.

Man that's amazing

What's the max clock you can get Prime95 stable? I'm curious about the "5 phases" on this board, wanna know if it's reliable enough for a high clock 24/7.

Why dont you run 3x1Gb tri-channel?

I have some of those "cheapest you can find" RAMs also, pushed then to 1648 10-9-9-24 1T 1.58V Im yet to find weaker DDR3 sticks

Does triple-channel have some real advantage over dual-channel? I thought about using that way but I guessed would be better to use the extra 1GB because Vista loves RAM.

I'll try to push my memories too, but I don't know how much vDimm would be safe to use on them (1.65v? 1.7v?)

Nice work, thats an insane clock, guess the little msi platinum has a little mojo in the the right hands!!

GREAT BIOS, i`m very happy with the new settings.

It's easyer to clock RAM with just 1 stick per channel, thats why I would rather run 3Gb.

This sticks dont scale well with Volts, they max out around 1.6V, not worthed to push higher tan that.

[s3rv3r]

SLI ON and no problems.

[kvist]

what value do you have for the temperature of the IOH?? ( i own the eclipse version and mine is on fire!!)

Boy, you were definetly right. I'm now using 3x1 and I'm back to 8-8-8-24 1T with only 1.48v. With 4x1 I needed 8-8-8-24 2T with 1.54v or it wouldn't even boot.

I'll see how high this babies can clock with to 1.65v on bios. For 24/7 I think I'll follow your advice and not go hier than 1.60v.

Could someone test performance of vista sleep mode on this board? How many seconds from power button to windows reappearing when resuming from S3 sleep mode. Thanks

Wow, great chip tranngocminh have you ran any Prime95 or other stability test at those settings?

I downloaded this bios, but did not have the guts to flash it, is it stable?

My True just arrived, but I'll have to wait about 10 days fot the 1366 Bolt-Thru

Meanwhile, I'll try to play with my memories, see what I got.

My CPU stable at 200x21 (30 round IntelBurnTest passed)
For flash BIOS: creat USB boot (use HP Bootable USB Utility & Boot Files in The Guide of this thread). Copy AFUD4234 and BIOS to USB. Reboot your system and press F11 when the splash screen appears to select the boot menu, select USB stick. Then type this: AFUD4234 BIOSname (ex: AFUD4234 A7522IMS.127)

[FabricioGS]

Thanks, but I just flashed straight from the USB using the BIOS option. I liked the new options and specially the part that displays the vcore set after you add that voltage.

Now on tri-channel, I was able to reach 1654 9-9-9-25 1T with 1.55v

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=490645

Let's see how far I can get with 10+ latency.


EDIT: 10+ latency is not helping me at all. I reached about ~1680 but it needs 1.58v+. Haven't tried 1.60 or more vDimm, would it be a good call?

[kromosto]

my x58 plat reads ioh temp 70c !!!! is this a bios issue or what? anybody knows something?

[FabricioGS]

You mean board temp or cpu temp?

[ban916]

Guys what am I doing wrong?? My first time with a i7 overclock and I can't get linpack stable at all. Using newest occt. Running msi x58 platinum and i7 920 with 3 gigs gskill ddr 3 1333 =. I am only going for 3.8ghz and am running all settings auto with v core @1.32 bluescreen with 2 secs of linpack What am I missing?? Thanks
