ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

I had bios 1.1 from the start and booted up just fine with my conroe. It may have been the video card, I don't know if it would kill the board or if the board would kill the card or if nothing would happen. Do you get a beep code or anything at all when you start up? Do the fans on your...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

It seems stable right now. I'm running dual prime95 with the fsb at 315, pci-e at 117 and ram at 266mhz (420 actual) 2-2-2-12-1 and still no faults after 15hours, i'm running the small fft test. Upping the pci-e frequency really helped my overclock. I also have pcie downstream process...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA overclocking experiences?

I raised my pci-e to 117mhz and now seem to be running stable at 305fsb with the 7600gt. It seems that while it can lock the agp frequency it must use some weird multipllier and underclock the pci-e bus when you overclock the cpu, or maybe now. Either way, it seems to be working now, but this...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

Are any of you running a pci-e card on this mobo and overclocking? I just got a 7600gt b/c of the rebate deal and now i can't overclock to more than 275 fsb, it's as if the board is not locking the pci-e at 100 like it should. I was stable with my agp 6600gt all the way up to 300mhz, but this...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA overclocking experiences?

Does anybody reading this run a pci-e card on this board? I just bought a 7600gt from newegg and even trying 295fsb, which i was stable at with my agp 6600gt, it locks up after loading windows and i have to do a hard reset. It's as if it's not locking the pci-e freq even though i'm running it...

Changing the pcie-freq didn't do anything for me, still couldn't run 315fsb, it actually didn't just fail prime, it forced a reboot on the system. has anybody tried the new bios and gotten a better o/c than with 1.70?

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA overclocking experiences?

Has anyone tried using an aftermarket heatsink on the mobo chipset or jerry rigging a fan to the chipset heatsink to see if this would help increase stability? i'm wondering if this would make any difference on the overclocking front. Also, has anyone else tried an older bios and benefited...

In case anybody out there still cares, or if you are also getting abnormally low 3dmark06 scores, make sure that your agp aperture is set high enough. Bumping mine up from 64mb to 128mb basically doubled my score. I just got 1451 (555, 491, 1556) with gfx and cpu at stock.

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA overclocking experiences?

For some reason 3dmark said it was running at 300mhz for the core, i checked and it's running at 500 like it should. I even overclocked it to 550/1100 and that hardly budged my score, went to 328/200 with a total of 753. As far as i can tell all bios options are good, i have 8x enabled and...

In 3dmark06 with my 6600gt and stock e6300 i'm getting: SM2.0 score: 264 hdr/sm3.0 score: 191 CPU Score: 1552 This is with pretty much everything turned off in the vid card options as well as high performance being selected. Any ideas on what is causing this low score...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA overclocking experiences?

Ok, i know this isn't the video forum, but does anybody know why my 3dmark06 scores seem so low? I just checked and some people seem to get around 1400, or double me, with the same or lesser chips and the same gfx card. Does system memory make a big diff to the test or am i missing a driver or...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA overclocking experiences?

Well, with the 1.70 bios i am nowhere near stable at 315fsb, even norton antivirus has problems there, at 310 it wasn't stable either, for now i have brought it down to 295 like most others it seems to run there. It never seemed completely stable at 315 with 1.10 bios, it would pass prime small...

That's my concern with flashing the bios, it seems to be running fine now, and i'm worried if i update it i might lose some of my o/c potential. Plus, i'm lazy and don't have a floppy installed, but if I can do it from windows then tehre shoudln't be a problem there.

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA overclocking experiences?

Alright, I read the sticky about stability checking, but still haven't run memtest86. However, at 315fsb with my e6300 i was prime stable with small fft for 24hours. However, with large fft I get an error after about an 1.5hours. Also, I was able to run all the way through super pi on both...
