ghostleader forget ripjaws on rex unless you want 8 gigs@cas9
cant do 1800 cas8
1667 cas7 ok so far pl7 500fsb microns i needed pl8 for same
so far 1900 cas9
does not respond to voltage 1.92v
i think they are powerchips low% bbsa
maybe i should take a look under the hood lol
i'm thankfull i didnt set my patriot 2k lol

[Ghostleader]

Thanks zsamz, good to know.

I think I don´t bother with 2Gb stix any more on the RE, I stick with my 4x1 Dominator 1800C7 (D9GTR), they do 1800C7 really nice with my Q9650 @ bus 450.

BTW, I on to test SLI hack on my RE, I did it with my RF so it shouldn´t be any problem to do it on the RE.

[Zeus]

Finally managed to run 1M at 5GHz.



With my old Q822A435 this was not possible, it had a brick wall at 4940MHz.

Going back on XP and tweaking some will give a better score, hoping to do sub 9 seconds this winter with the aid of some cold air.

[WhiteFireDragon]

very nice zeus. is this another 435 chip you have?

[Ghostleader]

@Zeus

Nice work

Just curious, what´s your volt and gtl setup for that?

[Zeus]

very nice zeus. is this another 435 chip you have?

Yup.

Been looking for you "over there" but none available at the moment.

I will keep my eyes peeled.

@Zeus

Nice work

Just curious, what´s your volt and gtl setup for that?

Most at auto except:

Vcore 1.51V
Vdimm 2.2V
Vnb 1.73V
NB skew 100ps
Transaction booster manual PL9
clock twister light
LLC enabled
all GTL's at auto

It can do 32M at 620 with these settings.

[CryptiK]

Nice work on 620 FSB 32M / 625 FSB 1M, what PL is that at?

i ordered a set of hypers my last effort with 2g stix
i saw the posts but i on the red team now
i'm lookin for a cheap 8800gt to play with the hack

Performance Level 9

Up to 600FSB PL 8 is possible.

yes its verry weird this board likes 600fsb for some reason

Hello to all!

First of all i would like to introduce my system
Mobo: Asus rampage extreme
CPU: Intel QX9770
Ram: 2x Corsair XMS3 CM3X1G2000C9DNV
GPU: 2x Asus EAH 4870x2 CrossfireX

my cpu and NB are watercooled,gpus stock

I am trying to overclock my rig for a 24/7 use @ 4Ghz (cpu) and at least 1800Mhz ram speed.

What I ve done so far are:

Using the above settings i manage to boot and play games for several hours but sometimes i get Bsod...

I started to test my system using Prime95 and Everest but while FPU stress test my hardware fails during the first 4-5 seconds...

Any help appreciated...

Alex

[WhiteFireDragon]

that OC'ed rig you have will draw some serious power during gaming. what PSU do you have? set your multiplier to 6 and and prime it at 450fsb first. increase it until you find what the CPU can handle at that voltage and increase your voltage to see if it helps. for the skews and GTL's, i hope you didn't just copy it from someone's template

[zsamz_]

glts dont look right
and if you clocking 2x2 stix with quad go pray to god

CPU GTLVref(0) [+90mV] 60
CPU GTLVref(1) [+50mV]50
CPU GTLVref(2) [+90mV]50-60
CPU GTLVref(3) [+50mV]50-60
NB GTLVref [+60mV 40-60

[zpower]

Thanks for the help...

It seems that in order to operate with 9x multiplier i need 1.42v on my cpu but as a 45nm cpu this is not very good...moreover while fpu stressing i noticed temps from 45 idle going up to 96 in just a few seconds...

I lowered my multiplier to 8 changed my gtls to 60 50 60 50 60
and cpu voltage to 1.35v

With that settings i am able to run fpu with no probles and max temps of 86...

As for my previous gtls i tried the small excel application i found in the forum
(i am a newbee BTW)

My rams are 2 sticks of 1GB though.

Finally, for PSU i use a Tagan PipeRock TG1100-BZ 1100w so i do not think i have any issue with power.

right now my bios settings are:

I am about to check for FSB 470 and multiplier 8.5 to see what happens...
Thanks again for any help given!

[zsamz_]

zpower go for 475x9 1.3-1.4v it can be done easy
dont be scared to give more cpu vtt 1.4v

[WhiteFireDragon]

zpower, you can't just copy/paste someone's setting and use the exact settings for your mobo. yes, it's the same mobo but exact tuning settings will be slightly different (just like how CPU's from the same batch can OC differently). you need to tune it from the ground up if you want optimal settings. this mobo's CPU and NB skews are extremely sensitive and it'll be noticeable whether you have the skews right or not. GTL's are important for quads, but not so much for dual cores. this you'll just have to do a trial and error tuning. i would give it a little more vPLL and vtt, and enable the LLC. that should get you somewhere between 450-500fsb

[Ghostleader]

Okey guys, here we have some 9800GTX SLI on my Rampage Extreme.

This is what you want when you have rebooted after the "SLI hack".



SLI capable system, yes indeed, lets open NVIDIA control Panel and choose "Enabled SLI", notice the X58 in the CPU-z, the thing is, you fool the Nvidia driver to think it´s running with a X58 chipset.




Benchtime, single vs SLI.

Rampage Extreme, E8600 @ 500x8,5 4,25GHz, 2x2 OCZ Platinum LV 1600C7 @ 1600 777 21 1N tRD 8 Strong, XFX 9800GTX Black Edition

The scaling is pretty awesome and ~38 avg fps in Crysis Warhead, Enthusiast @ 1680x1050 with two 9800GTX isn´t bad at all.

[Zeus]

Does that sli hack also work under Windows XP?

[CryptiK]

Yes it does.

[Ghostleader]

Does that sli hack also work under Windows XP?

I think so, you can read more about it here.

[zsamz_]

finally got me a set of hypers
man its like pullin teath
scalin better with cas7 then blue screens

[Splave]

what kinda vtt and vnb needed for 600fsb?
what strap you guys using as well

[Leeghoofd]

333 strap, 1.24 VTT and 1.55NB with an E8600 and 2Gb ( 2 x 1024 ) CSX Diablo's

[CryptiK]

zsamz - Hypers go quite well on this board, refer to my benches also those of the REX master, Cheapseats.

Bobbylite - 1.24 Vtt and 1.43vNB (BIOS) gets me 600 FSB Orthos stable.

[Splave]

thanks guys
