OCCT-stable 220X19 is a great clock

EDIT:
I couldn't resist to try your settings, but my CPU (or RAM? or something else?) won't even boot at 220x19. I guess my CPU needs more VVT than yours, but I'm not sure if everything else is good enough.

I have used exact same settings as you (with looser RAM-timing), but no go. I see one difference (and i don't know what's cousin it). In your BIOS-shot, you have "Turbo ratio" 20x, 20x, 20x, 20x but i have 22x, 21x, 21x, 21x in my BIOS. I don't think this makes any different (since we are not using turbo), but anyway i can't even boot at 220x19 with your settings.

that must be set, maybe something in Vista like power plan? Anything you can think of?

for get 22 multipliyer:
EIST Function: Enabled
CxE Function: С61
and load only one core
that would the multiplier 21 does not decrease in the load, you should:
Set VR Limit Max = Enabled = BIOS 2/17

Please click here for Update the "LX58D114.ABS" first by Auto Boost system AP file when you changed BIOS version..

If you use ABS, then the warning is load and clear, but I suggest that you don't install ABS at all (if you have installed it already, don't use it all), then you won't need "LX58D114.ABS" either. I couldn't get anything good out of ABS and regret installing it, because i can't get rid of it totally.

I just set my system up yesterday and everything was good, got around 4.1 ghz fully stable with HT on around 1.36 vcore and 1.44 cpu vtt.

Just got my true 120 today with 2 scyth kaze fans and after installing it and putting some AS5 on the northbridge and southbridge when I go to boot it up and witness the magic I get the 88 code on the diagnostics led.

I tried resetting the bios, removing the battery, cmos jumper etc. but its still not working, any idea's why that would be, I was real carfull to not put to much as5 on, I dont get it

May be 8pin VRM-cable, PCI/PCI-e cards installed no good

**Downy** · 03-12-2009, 12:47 PM

well right now im going to try and loosen the screws a bit on the true, and the northbridge heatsink, maybe flex in the board is no good?

I will also check those as well, even if it says 88 it can be something other then the bios ? Im a bit new to these boards. Its just a big pain to remove the entire heatsink contraption. grr

**rioja** · 03-12-2009, 01:02 PM

uh scarry, i start immediatly recall these words

i hope ull sort it out

**Downy** · 03-12-2009, 01:10 PM

what do you think it could be, i didnt scratch anything, maybe just checking to see if any tim is touching something.. is it really that bad of an idea to take it off ?

edit: So I just took off the heatsink assembly again, and everything looks to be ok, there is no as5 anywhere where it shouldnt be. So im going to take some off, and make sure there is even less as5, i think i put a wee bit to much on. Then maybe not tighten everything up as tight ?

Hopefully its ok !!!

Smart fan (CPU) in BIOS seems broken as follows: It knows only two speeds...25% and 100% of normal. Which of these speeds I get depends on my settings
in BIOS, but once set, the fan speed never changes in windows. it is suppose to change as a function of temp but it doesn't. Smart gardian does nothing at all.
Anyone get smart fan to work?

4 case fans + 1 hs fan

Is an old pic, but number and position of the fans are the same

. Pretty good explanation of how to work your way up into a stable OC instead of just "trying what others posted" I give credit where credit is due but just wanted to ask.

go ahead.
but really this is quite simple

eva does one step even further which i think is better
before he even enters windows he will run memtest86+

u should use hp utility to format, works fine with my 32gb flash

**CoolZone** · 03-13-2009, 03:17 AM

Can anyone please upload the driver contents for this motherboard. I've got a sample for testing and I do not have any utilities for it.

Thanks in advance!

**CoolZone** · 03-13-2009, 03:35 AM

**CoolZone** · 03-13-2009, 04:04 AM

I have already downloaded those. Thought there were more

**Downy** · 03-13-2009, 04:27 AM

@ Overdoze: Thats a really nice and clean setup you got there !

I got a question for ya, where did you get an extra set of clips for your true 120? I only got 2 with mine and the bolt through kit, or do you have that attatched with something im not seeing

**OverDozeD** · 03-13-2009, 05:29 AM

@Downy
Thx

This thing really rocks, I'm afraid to getting lost in Genie settings

NB & mosfet stays very cool (~40-50c max) with these 2X 2000RPM fans

No, this is original clips from TR
Got in Germany from a friend of mine.
Also changed backplate & fittings for LGA 1366
