Could be your cpu, too. My xeon has a bclk wall @ 212 for bios post and 214 with setfsb in windwos.Originally Posted by kill_a_wat
Tested a 975 on my R2E which did an easy job hitting 228bclk, which profed my thought that my xeon is the weak part of the oc chain, which also refuses to do a decent 1000mhz on the rams
Xeon W3520@HK3.0, Rampage II Gene @ MipsFusionBlock, DomiGT 2000C8@EK, GTX580 waiting for hole Edition ,Laing, Mora2Pro, V351
I'm pretty sure its my cpu...I got into Windows with 222 Bclk but Hyper Pi 1M dies instantly. Tried loosening timings and upping PCIE volts and vNB - didnt help. All good I just wanted to try 4.2 with a 19x multi guess thats not going to happen hehe.
yep sometimes it appears all shattered. it appears normal right before it leaves to the next screen though
Yeh I noticed that too. Thanks.
UPDATE @ 03-12-10
I got what feels like a good stable ACPI support with my current stable 4.2GHz profile on this mobo. I had to rais the IOH/ICH (NB/SB) cores volts to 1.20 to stabalize boot into RAID controller under this profile. I also upped PLL to 1.86 and was able to lower vcore to 1.33v , QPI to 1.33 (1.30 effective). So it is clear that much like the OC of the Q6600 on my origional RAMPAGE EXTREME, PLL doeas play an important role of stability of quad core OC at the upper end of over 4.10. I can get 4.305 but needs some fine tuning but I believe 4.209GHz with its fair temps of 36 idle are nice for a daily user where I get close to 40c at 4.305GHz.
For my responce to ACPI stability, I tested with various BIOS settings and came to find out it wosk smoothly if leaving most of the suspend and ACPI modes to default; ACPI 2.0 support to OFF, post video on resume from S3 NO, Suspend mode to AUTO. I'm not sure if the last here has anything to do with but fr the sake of , I have plug n play BIOS set to NO.
I had an issue with my mobo not restarting after what was a routine BIOS setting, nothing outside of the norm and it would just shut off after selecting save and exit. Then upon reset, it attemps to start but shuts doan then a quick but short surge of power apears to try to come back on but goes out and will do this for a sycle of time. The st time was day before yesterday and I had to shut down clear CMOS, pull battery and tap pwr button for 10 minutes and it was ok but them it happened again tonight. Again, nothing major in BIOS changed. Also I had some weirdness with booting to RAID 0+1 disc set on a test OC and now when back to regular profile it hangs on loading but is fine if I boot as single of the 1 disc in EIDE mode.
Any ideas to either, They soert of both came around the same time.

Hello Nuckin Futs,
I am not sure if you completed the bios update while the board was in a overclocked state. I would advise you set the board to bios defaults and reflash with the current build. Once complete reload bios defaults and see it posts wtihout issues. If goes gets through that without issues i would then advise you re enable your raid functionality and check for a normal post/boot. If that clears then proceed to relock in your overclock ( assuming you had one present ).
Hope this helps. As always please enjoy the rest of your day.
hi.
Pls, put your settings for overclocking BCLK=200 or more (i7 920) , but then my memory to slip during acceleration.
Mobo itself exposes agresivnye timings (777) on which the boot can not ... it happens with old in the cold.
turning the voltage does not help, timings Fix, also does not help

Does this help?

No, I need the BIOS settings
cannot understand why mobo clears the memory, because memory is officially supported by this mobo is in the QVL sheet
that is all the changes i have made ...
what brand and model of RAM are you using?

no problem at all
also, have you ran memtest or anything like that to test and make sure 1 of your RAM sticks is not bad?
Intel I7 920 @ 4.3 // ASUS Rampage III Extreme// 3x2GB Mushkin// Antec TPQ 1200w // Water Cooled
yep perhaps try and isolate if its a mem problem
The Duke
memory everything is fine, I checked (memtest-correctly)
still confident that the problem is not in memory and the processor, namely the motherboard
well if your ram passed memtest and all that .... then yes i would say start looking into your motherboard. maybe try and get a friends motherboard and see if your settings will stay. maybe contact the motherboard company and ask them?

without overclocking everything is working properly, try the other day another memory.
this is not the first motherboard from ASUS that has problems with memory and thinking is not the last
weird ... i have never had a problem with ASUS and memory settings disappearing ... the ram either works or doesnt haha

Yup, me too.BIOS 1202 still has the cold boot issue.

Negative. Back to 0904.Does it help with OCing at all? im still on 0904

What volts should be raised to find max blc? I think I hit it at 220 or 221 but I want more as I am stable at 4621 with water atm and I want to push it harder for benching
