I can't seem to get the drivers for my PNY 9800GTX to install on my Biostar TPowerI45 board. The installation says the drivers were installed but when I reboot it only goes as far as the windows loading screen then dies out (Vista32) If I use XP32 then half way thru the driver installation it...
it is amazing with these chips in that you need very little vcore to get high OC but the Nb and VTT voltages will kill a board trying to run 24/7 at a high OC.
By "any different" I mean from an operational and overclocking perspective. Because someone can reach 4GHz with lower voltage has NOTHING to do with whether the chip is a desktop or server chip. It has EVERYTHING to do with batch/FPO#.
The CPU may be rated for different highend vcore and it...
yeah..."rumor has it" is the key phrase
If someone has documentation from Intel that says their socket 775 xeons are any different than their sockeet 775 desktop CPUs I wish they would post it as I am sick of hearing about how many differences there may or may not be between the two.
If you order a board today you should be fine. I just recieved a DFI LP LT P35 T2R that worked right out of the box for the 45nm CPUs. All X48, 780i, and 790i bords will too. As far as the X38 boards I would say it depends on when they were shipped to etailers, like the P35 board I bought.
The bottom line is this: Batch/FPO# is what counts.
fact1-I had an E8400 (Q743A) that would run 4.3GHz with 1.344vcore. P95 stable for 9+ hours and passed all 3D benchies.
fact2- I had an E8400 and E3110 (both Q746A534) that wouldn't run 4.3GHz stable no matter how much vcore you put to...
Any x48, 780i, and 790i board will post. I believe the x38 boards will too. I ordered a DFI LP LT P35 T2R from motherboardpro.com and that booted fine with a 45nm chip. For P35 boards it would depend on when they were shipped to retailers.
By the way, I got the EOM X3350 for $324 shipped from...
If it ran fine at 1.8v why would you up the vdimm? Unless you were OCing the ram it doesn't make sense.
This is a very good deal but one needs to find out if it is D9GMH ICs or the new stuff that doesn't OC as well. Some have been reported to struggle to run at DDR2-1066.
this a good deal and NCIX is a good etailer...I have never had a problem with them. If you are complaining that orders weren't shipped in a timely manner during the holidays then you must be hell in the check out lines.
Got mine yesterday from the egg and have them running DDR2-1000 at 2.1vdimm and 5-5-5-15 timings in an AMD folding rig. I will have to get another set to upgrade to 4GB FTW.
This is a very good price on a monster OC board. I have gotten 540 FSB with little effort and I have seen someone doing 610FSB with even looser memory timings.
I am currently testing a 6420 at 3.3GHz on the Biostar 965PT with Crucial 10th anniversary sticks and this set up rocks. Go with the 6420 or the 6320, you won't be disappointed.
I know it is early but I see a lot of posts on several sites where the 650i and 680i chipsets are dying. There could be many reasons why but without knowing what they are I would be hesitant about any nVidia chipset board (650-680). The DFI Infinity Dark-S is supposed to be awesome and has many...
FWIW...I recently ordered 2 "open box" mobos from newegg. A Gigabyte DS3 and an ASUS P5N-E SLi (which I am playing with right now) and both have come with ALL accessories that come in a retail box. Both boards have performed very well so far.
FWIW...
I got a 144 opty from ebay (brand new OEM) that I can push to 3.1Ghz (higher if I want to bump VCore) for $131 shipped. The same person is now selling them for $131 + shipping. My stepping is CAB1E so either I got lucky or she has more of the same. She also has 146s, 148,s and 165s...

Think about which is more impressive at the same 0.09u process:
12-stage pipeline @ 2.8GHz, runs warm, or
30+ stage pipeline @ 3.8GHz, runs oven-hot
The former is, right...
So what am I doing wrong? I have the same system they used except I have a 3.0C Northie. I can get to 3.75GHz CPU speed with a 1000FSB prime stable, 49C temp. but only if I use the 5:4 divider. If I stay 1:1 the best I can do is 3.23GHz with 880 FSB (or so). My CPU voltage is 1.65V, Vdimm is...
I was reviewing the 2-2-2 fast memory article and when all is done I have one question. When the highest OC with the OCZ DDR3200 R2 Platinum memory (or any memory for that matter) is the 5:4 divider being used or are they acheiving these OCs at the 1:1 setting?
