X48 Rampage Formula Preview.

[Shiranui Gen-An]

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.

Hmm, I don't recall having too many problems with D9-based modules on my Rampage'd Maximus Formula, I got my G.Skill 8000 C4 kit up to 666MHz C5 1M stable on the 2:3 divider.

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

Think what will happens when our swedish winter come.

Rampage Formula FTW

Very nice overclock you've got there greg.m.

Thamk you my friend

Have got in your hands something good(Q9650)?

No, no luck. I hope to get one from the new batch that's mentioned in the Q9650 thread a while ago by a German guy. Maybe this batch is going to be available in Belgium too. I asked my computer parts dealer to look for that batch.

I reseated my CPU last week but it didn't help to get my Q9450 Linx stable again at 8 X 465MHz. It sucks and I hope to have a Q9650 really soon to have some fun again.

Nice cooling blocks that you've got there.

One set of ballistix tracers 800, can't do 600mhz.

575 is stable around 2.2 - 2.25v, 600 is no go even at 2.5v.

Maybe it's just a degraded set of d9, maybe it's me who can't stable them, but with old promos I haven't got such problems.

And about testing I'm testing memory using Memtest #5 test, at least 30 loops.

Use whatever CPU GTL that works good for you. If your CPU likes 0.67X there is no reason not to use it.

Has anyone tried replacing factory mch/ich cooling with 2x thermalright hr-05?

Yoh Alien-Grey,
I am glad that you are back on stage again!
If I can help you out about buying a Q9650 on the german market just send me an e-mail

Here's some good news. I'm running stable again at 8 X 465MHz with DDR 1239MHz and tRD 6. The CPU Voltage is the same as it was before at 1.36250V.

The problem was the DRAM slots. I'm using the white slots now, B1 and B2 with DRAM CLK Skew on Channel B delayed with 50ps. This combination seems to work very well with the G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI Memory.

I still don't understand how changing to the other slots fixes the stability problems with Linx.

Thanx mate. I hope youll get a good Q9650 soon so ill have someone to share and compare... i feel so lonely

Btw i read your last post and thats good news ill give the white slots a try to see what happens

[Fritz_the_germ]

Yoh guys,
I know I am having a DFI DK now but you wouldn´t cut me out of this thread, wouldn´t you.
Anyway- how do you like the data through put?



P.S. Alien-Grey,
I will check if I can get you the Q9650!

Good work mate

Glad to see you got it all setup how you wanted it! I take it you managed to get your head around the bios settings then

[Fritz_the_germ]

Thank you guys for your greatings.
Well, It took a little time to get my head around all these bios options.
But there ist still one thing that bothers me- the 400 strap won´t work as well as I supposed. My intension was to oc my G.Skills over 1200 Mhz driving a 465 MHz fsb.
I will open up a question in the DFI thread before the admin. is slaping me in the head.

[kuebk]

What you mean with it doesn't work as you supposed? Instabilities or what?

BTW: MCH voltage is key to stability with quad and 600+ mem.

[Fritz_the_germ]

Yes, that´s what I meant. I´ve got freezes and BSODths.

[kuebk]

As I said in my last post MCH voltage is the key to get stability, imo you will need to use at least 1.55-1.6v to get it stable.

[Fritz_the_germ]

It might surprise you but the P45 does not need so much voltage like the x48 for quads. I needed 1.39 Volts to the nb for 490 MHz FBS. Just see:

[kuebk]

No I'm not surprised, but X48 has its own rules.

[mikeyakame]

It might surprise you but the P45 does not need so much voltage like the x48 for quads. I needed 1.39 Volts to the nb for 490 MHz FBS. Just see:

1.39v on P45 is roughly the equivalent of ~1.6-1.65v on an X48 so I'm not surprised at all with the voltage you need on the P45.

[Alien Grey]

It might surprise you but the P45 does not need so much voltage like the x48 for quads. I needed 1.39 Volts to the nb for 490 MHz FBS. Just see:

Is 1.39V on the NB already to high for the P45 chipset? I see in your picture that it shows up in red.

[mikeyakame]

Is 1.39V on the NB already to high for the P45 chipset? I see in your picture that it shows up in red.

Default Vnb on P45 is 1.10V, so ~1.4V IS quite high but no more than 1.6v is quite high for an X48 NB.

[Fritz_the_germ]

Is 1.39V on the NB already to high for the P45 chipset? I see in your picture that it shows up in red.

I agree with mikeyakame that ~1.4v is pretty high to the nb but I don´t think it is to much English for the 24/7 use.
The voltage is shown up red because the program "smart guardian" does so by using more than 1.35v. That doesn´t mean it will demage your nb immediately, it is just a warning for the user.
