thats what ive been trying to figure out.in xp i was getting 10k across the board with 1250ddr pl8 but in vista copy drops to 9200's and up.

Hmmm, I'm on Vista too; Vista x64 SP2 Beta.

[radaja]

im going to install xp x64 and vista x64 and do some more testing.also could it be the stap im using?ive heard that there is different performance with different strap at certain fsb. i know i seem to get the best performance with the 333strap and the 5:6 divider.

I'm on the 333 strap, running 1:1.

To those having problems with graphics performance, I don't seem to have a problem here:

This is in Windows Vista x64 SP2 Beta (Regular OS, Need a reinstall coming from a rampage formula). Clocks were 802/900, both.

[Mech0z]

Radaja is the F4 bios the best? I have a Q6600 and just upgraded to the F8 (the newest) but should I downgrade it back?

[radaja]

zucker2k,heres X64 xp.same exact settings,i even installed it while it was OCed forgot to set it to defaults.these scores are better.

[Hoss331]

I'm on the 333 strap, running 1:1.

If your going to stay on the 1:1 try the 400 2.00D at PL9. It would give me slighty better everst scores then the 333 2.00B at PL10.

[radaja]

well heres vista x64.maybe its a 32 bit thing?


here is xp X64 at 525fsb this is much better.


and here is vista x64 at 525fsb.strange thing is its seems to be the same as xp?i know for a fact that xp 32 beats vista 32 everytime.

[Hoss331]

Ive been playing with some lower volts lately and I think this is about as far as it goes. These are my 24/7 settings and are 10hours blend stable.

If your going to stay on the 1:1 try the 400 2.00D at PL9. It would give me slighty better everst scores then the 333 2.00B at PL10.

That's interesting I can drop to PL9 on 400 strap and not on 333 strap. Thanks for tip.

well heres vista x64.maybe its a 32 bit thing?

Those bandwidths are insane. Good job. Can't wait to get my hands on some good memory.

[radaja]

hoss,youve got a nice chip there.i know you posted it before but what is the vid?

[Hoss331]

1.15vid

[radaja]

yea i definitely want and need a low vid chip.

[Hoss331]

Have you tried lowering your vtt and mch from the ~1.4 area? Thats what ive been playing with lately and have been able to go lower than I thought I could.

[Mabyboi]

sorry guys, picking up this board tomorrow, for overclocking would you recommend bios overclocking? or using the program gigabyte gives you?

[radaja]

MaByBoI,bios only. just use ET6 for monitoring your settings.
Mechoz,im using F5,but my usb keyboard has issues with newer bios's,other dont have a problem.

[Mabyboi]

hmm alright, is the program they give u a p.o.s? or does it work but the bios is just alot more effective and thorough?

ooo and one more question, the sata cables that they give you... are they 90 degree? so that you can run the cable directly down the motherboard?

[Hoss331]

ET6 doesnt have all the options that are in the bios but it is nice to have especially when you want to make a quick adjustment. I use it regularly with no problems. It should come with atleast 2 90* sata cables.

[Mabyboi]

sounds like a keeper to me, i was originally getting a DFI T2RS+, but its now sold out where i ordered from, so i was debating between this and a maximus.. what do you guys think?

[Hoss331]

Also if anyone is wondering F9b bios still doesnt fix S3.

[fatguy1992]

I just got a E5200

Right now its running at 2.75GHz on stock volts

Just wondering, does anyone know if there is a E5200 theard? I did a quick search, but I didn't find anything?

[INFRNL]

INFRNL,here you go.hope it helps.

Thanks; I'll see how it goes. I appreciate it

[pangingIII]

Nice clocks and decent everest score, wow i cant believe your on first bios, looks pretty good, yeah ddr3 is much better than ddr2 thats for sure, im glad i made the switch to ddr3.

i spend a bit of time on each bios version for fsb and ram overclocking and then i can choose which one i like to use most, but so far they are all the same as far as i can see.

anyway what you think about this below everest's, is this good or bad for P45 DDR3-based board?
the scores still suck, don't you think?

[zyfer]

Hello again everyone.

I really need serious help here ..

It is still the graphics card problem, and that it is only running under half the speed of that, on the X48..

It is a 9800GX2 card and it is running with two GPUer (as SLI) multi gpu..

In GPU-Z it shows to cards and that SLI is enable, it shows PCIe 2.0 x 16 on both cards, so everything is ok here.

But when I check the hardware in SiSoftware Sandra, there is one card in SLI and one beside that. when I benchmarks in Sandra,for comparison with a similar card, it can only run less than half the speed?? ..

It is as if there is something there are blocking over a certain speed, even if I OC the graphics card, is dont do the slightest difference.

It can run at a certain speed and then it will just not anymore.

I've never had problems on X48.....

Could it be PCIe port there is something with, it must be a hardwre problem, I tried to reinstall the OS and drivers several times ...

In the bios default setting is PCI not PEG. Is yours set to PEG?
