FYI:
OCZ claims I have to run SLI-Ready Memory with a setting of CPU MAX;Auto settings; vdimm 2.1-2.3 of which I posted the 4-4-4-15-1T in the black slots, but I am not stable (random times on Orthos and BSOD). Set to Expert I can't even get into XP. OCZ sent me an RMA form. The tech mentioned...
Hit 1056 with 5-4-4-15 2T
SLI-Ready Memory doesn't let you manually oc? If I move the RAM to the black slots, I can achieve 4-4-4-15 1T, but randomly get errors with Orthos. So, I assume this is a RAM issue. Definitely will consider doing the RMA if it corrects this...
No. I have some new settings I set last night and tested. I am unable to post a stable 3.5 (1400x10); RAM unlinked or 3:4. I'll mess around with it tonight again when I can. I should be able to out clock a E6600, I would assume...
Tried reseating the HSF? Retail HSF, ocin'g I was in the mid50's, so I would guess it might have popped out. I don't like the design of these. My retail HSF popped a corner when I was putting it in the case. The new Artic Freezer Pro 7 snapped right in.
Back online after a fresh install of XPSP2 (Original system started with a very old version of XP/corruption was aparent) and Artic Freezer Pro 7 installed. Definitely wroth the money! My temperatures dropped 10-12C. I'm especially impressed at how well it holds 43-45C while under extreme loads...
Asus Probe v.01.04.08 = Install is buggy, WHQL flags, strange memory address error (all zeros) and everytime I reboot it asks about a file to run. Just uninstalled it.
On a side note, I tried running SLI Expert - Memory @ 4-4-4-1T (EPP rating) and cannot no matter what I change, get my progs...
We nearly have the same setup. How hot is your RAM getting? I could barely touch mine at 975MHzish 5-4-4-15 2T. I cannot run EPP rating of 4-4-4-15 1T with the board set to default FSB etc...
I only added a 20mm. Unless you plan on doing extreme voltage increases on the NB, a 20-40mm fan should suffice with the stock heatsink. I have a Zalman ZM on my SB. Check out post #92 for oc'ing information.
Ditto on XP installation. I believe the work around is to F6 install JMicron and nVidia drivers for the SCSI/SATA to work properly. Of course this requires a floppy, of which I had to dig one out of my closet.
Core2 -
PS sticker states 20a on each 12v rail. What I was asking is if people are...
Core2 -
PS is a BFG 650w
>> SLI Ready
>> ATX 12V 2.0 Supports the latest Intel and Athlon based platforms requiring 24-pin motherboard and 4-Pin or 8-Pin 12V connectors. With the 20+4-Pin motherboard connector, it is also backward compatible with previous ATX standards.
>> Dual 12V...
That does seem a bit high because I'm oc'd with the retail HSF running just barely under those numbers. I just ordered the Artic, hopefully that will help.
Core2 - Thanks for the links on the PS. I was hoping there was something along those lines. Radio Shack prices are about that for just...
I've been hesitant to test with a meter (inexperienced). My values are within +/-10% for lower and +/-5% higher so I never thought much about it. From my research though most software programs are reporting below the actual reading. I will try to get ahold of a meter to try that though, or take...
Core2 - I noticed on 106 that you mentioned low voltages on the +12 and +5. This is an issue with me, I believe, as well.
+5 - 4.89
+12 - 11.78-11.84
PS or MB? BFG states my PS is fine. Not sure on the MB though...
sbinh - Actually have one of those. That would work with its low profile for sure.
Core2 - No. I don't know if I installed it at the wrong angle or not but I had to remove two rows of pillars. Not sure on the size difference of your card versus an 8800GTX, but my card, if you look directly at...
Put this little Zalman heatsink on SB .. then you'll be fine.
FYI:
I put that on my board but had to modify the heatsink so it would not touch my 8800GTX. Definitely make sure your SB setup is not touching your graphic card or you will short the graphic card out...
First off, thanks for the guide on 92. I have had this system since 20DEC06 and have found it a bit tricky to overclock. After flashing to 0401, clearing the CMOS, I still had major problems compared to 0202. I'm not sure if it is my RAM or what, but I finally did have it stable last night. Took...
