X48 Rampage Formula Preview.

[Mikefra2008]

With cpu gtl on 63% and nb gtl on 67% I was able to achieve 620fsb: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=586151.

lol The point is not to extract fsb but my proce divides(departs) to 4,9ghz or 5ghz that I have q raise in order that it happens passes windows

English version please.

5ghz air my Rampage formula is objetive

I have been out of the loop for a while. I was wondering if anyone is running the 0902 bios and if so, did it improve their oc any from 0803?

[spoof]

Is there any news about new bios? I'm still stuck under 480Mhz and still can't find a way to stable it at 483?

I´m run it and have not notice any specific different but a run a dual with 2x1 ram.

If you go back a couple of page and read, it seem that 0803 is somewhat better then 0902 with a quad and 2x2 or more ram.

It seems like run FSB towards 500 with a 45nm quad isn´t the RF favorite thing to do and I don´t think that any bios change gonna make it happen with a relative comfortable volt setup.

I´m waiting for some OZC low volt PC-9600 Blade to arrive and then I gonna pop in my Q9650 and do some test with 0803 vs 0902.

1: That wave lleban months with oc noob??
2: 500fsb xD my plate gives 570 stable ones in my core2duo
3: even there are no oc ends in this plate I see oc only bad wrong and normal
4: I do not deal pq they speak and give advices councils when they do not know anything of the asus rampage ghostlader it he has an oc terrible with the E8600

@MikeFra2008

Excuse me, but your english isn´t that good so I don´t understand what your´re try to say.

[kuebk]

Do you guys are also experiencing long booting problems?

After it detects my raid, it get stuck with blinking cursor in left top corner for ~5 seconds if I'm botting from raid and for ~15-20 if I'm botting from cd - any clues how to decrease this delay?

BTW: When I'm testing my ram using 5th test of memtest I noticed that there are 2 passes in this test, first goes normal but second goes very fast. And if I'm going to get any errors I will get it in that fast pass. Anyone know what does that means and why I'm only getting errors in this pass?

Hi there

I recently changed from a Q6600 G0 to a QX9650 .
Actually it´s running on 420x9.5 which gets me near the rated speed of my ocz´s 1000 cl5 and near 4ghz cpu clock.
Memory and FSB settings will stay as they are until i get my preordered OCZ Blades 1200´s which I hopefully can run @ 1200 and 450 fsb

With the QX i have a strange problem which I found that I am not the only one who gets this with a asus x48/x38 board and a QX with a used cpu multiplier other than 9
System boot up from cold (cut off from the voltage with a socket switch) i get a message after POST that the VID setting or something like that is invalid ad I´ve to enter bios.
Done that, cachanged nothing, exit bios, system boots, perfectly stable.
I can restart as often as I want, it will allways boot up normally, except i take the system completly off Power with the socket switch or the switch on the PSU.

One other thing I found to be an issue for me is voltage and Temp measurement.
When I use the program "Hardware monitor" there are listed 2 winbond chips with provide information on System voltages and temperatured.
Time after time, one of the 2 disappeares from the program.
The same happens when I use the Vista Sidebar gadged from Everrest, that time after time most Cpu Relevant Voltages drop to zero, including NB Temp.
I had this issue yesterday while running prime small
A restart of Everrest ended in the fact that the values which just went to zero, werent even shown as avaliable.
I really have no clue what the reason is for that kind of issue or problem. NB Temps where less 50°C while that happened.
After a reboot of the system the previously missing Values were avaliable again.

Ideas ?

[kuebk]

Never got any problems with temp/voltages reading, maybe it's something wrong with your os.

Happens with XP and both tools (Hardware monitor, Everrest), as in Vista 64 with both tools.
I even believe that I had the same problem with ASus PC Probe II and bouncing/missing NB Temps

This booting problem is only if RAID is enabled and in SATA mode its normal. Disabling CDROM as the first boot device helps a bit. I am suspecting if this has started from installing the latest bios

Even I have the same issue.. Couldnt find a convincing reason

RAID is my first boot device and I'm using 803 bios.

Played around with VTT yesterday but i do not get it completly.
To my understanding Vgtl-Ref (vtt/fsb term Voltage x GTL multiplier (0.62-0.67)) needs to be in relation to Vcore.
To find the sweet spot i did the following.
dropped down Vcore some notches, to get the cpu slightly instable, and then testing throug each mulitplier at a given VTT and the repeat that with the next value for VTT.
This should give me an idea what vGTL-ref is a good one for this certain vcore.
After i would have found a goof vtt, gtl setting i thougt on raising the Vcore back to the known stable voltage and because of that I would have to raise VGTL-Ref too
My problem is, how much should i raise Vgtl ref or better how should I ? By raising the GTL multiplier or by raising VTT.
Maybe it´s complete BS what I´m thinking of, then just tell me.

Last known stable setting (Prime large, small, Blend each 3h and intelBurn test maximum 10 rund)
Rampage Foormula, 803 or 802 bios
420x9.5,
Strap 333,
Vcore 1.45 Bios (load 1.36)
LLC Disabled,
VTT 1.36 Bios, 1.26/1.28 according to everrest,
VNB 1.47,
SB,SB1.5,CPU PLL on Stock settings set manually.

Messing with GTL's is not needed below 500fsb, same as messing with VTT - but only for dual cores.

You have c2d or c2q?

[saxovtsmike]

Oh forgot to say, its a QX9650, posted that 3 posts ago too

Concerning you ram overclocking issues you mentioned in the D9 thread, have you got 'Mem OC Charger' enabled in BIOS?

[kuebk]

There's no such option in RF bios.

[CryptiK]

Ah ok, my mistake, thought there was. Someone has got to know how to get 600 MHz stable with D9 modules on that board. Most D9's will do it, but some (older D9) sometimes struggles to get 600 MHz stable. There is a chance your kit falls into this category.

That's weird, 800mhz kit does 575mhz 2.2-2.25v, on 2.2v it rarely gives an erros. but 590 is no go even at 2.6v lol.

EDIT: Something has to be wrong with this 800 kit, with 1066 i can easily hit 600mhz on mem with 2.24v on them.

I got the same problem with everest and CPUID Hardware Monitor. It reads everything okay and than after a while, mostly everest will no longer be reporting the voltage there.

and

everest and CPUID HW monitor is saying the my voltage on FSB, NB and SB is higher than what I have manually set up in Bios, anyone know why this is so?

Rampage Formula FTW

[Ghostleader]

Nice work, just feed that NB and things starts to happens, that´s the X48 way

So True.

Has always been the case with all X48s I've owned/used. NB loves voltage and craves it, and will take it 24/7 provided temps are kept at a reasonable range. Alot different than P45 NBs, they are quite picky when it comes to Vnb. Always a bonus of using a 90Nm chipset.
