Problems O/C'ing Patriot Ram

Did more testing and I've concluded it is the mobo. I tried the suggestions above and it's no better. I did find however that it will run 428fsb/856mem @ 4-4-4-12. Unfortunately is does get a bit hot so I won't leave it there. Also it seems that my processor doesn't run as efficiently at a 7x...

Problems O/C'ing Patriot Ram

I have a P5B-E rev A, E6600 and 2g of Patriot Ram (PDC22G6400LLK), the board is modded to add .3v to Vdimm, I run it at 2.2v. I runs all day at 835 @ 4-4-4-12 without any problems. I wanted to try a higher frequency and drop the latency, my target was 1000 @ 5-5-5-15. When I run memtest I...

Monitor res/Vid card res mismatch

I have a CRT right now and that resolution doesn't show up as an option so I was wondering if it was available. Thanks

Monitor res/Vid card res mismatch

From my experience with an LCD monitor the best picture I get is when the vid card res and monitor res are the same. I'm looking at widescreen monitors and there doesn't seem to be an exact match. Is there a way to disable the scaling on a WS monitor and accept the black bars around the picture...

Going C2D in a few weeks - Should I just buy a ASUS P5B-E Now?

From what I've gathered so far the mod is relatively simple, one pin of an IC through a pot to ground. I work with SMT stuff so the mod should not be too bad, just need a magnifying glass!

I can't figure it either, but oh well. I'm looking for someone to do a PS mod to boost it up a few .1's. :) (or else just a schematic of the PS section)

If you plan on doing any oc'ing make sure you get the 1.02 rev., it allows higher than 2.1v memory voltage. I just bought mine a few weeks ago from Newegg and still got the older 1.01 rev and of course my memory needs over 2.1v to go over 800mhz so I'm stuck.

P5B-E simple SoundMax option?

Does anyone know how to simply switch off the rear sound output but keep the front on? I know how to go into menu after to menu then do a reset to do it but I'm looking for a simpler way. I can turn down the volume to zero but it seems I can never get it back where it was. I want the system to...

8800GTS fan setting in registry?

Does anyone know how to set the fan speed in the registry? Right now I start Rivatuner to set the fan speed and use ATI-Tools for the overclocking. I'd like to get rid of the Rivatuner load. Thanks

P5B-E Chassis Fan control?

Does anyone know if Chassis Fan 1/2 actually pwms the fan or it just monitors rpm ? There is a Q-Fan control but I see no verbage mentioning pwm'ing like it does on the cpu connector. Has anyone used Q-Fan for the cpu? It seems when I set for Performance mode the fan still runs at about half...

Installing XP Sp2 from hard drive possible?

I've just gone through 2 days of trying to get XP Sp2 running on my new computer. I built a new machine but kept the old hard drive so when I fired it up it required a re-install of XP. So I go through the hassles of loading and getting upgrades. When I go to upgrade to Sp2 it crashes on...

New system, won't boot except...

The one stick that didn't boot I tried in all 4 slots w/o any luck. Right now I'm fighting the BSOD when SP2 starts right before the scrolling blue bar starts. STOP 0x,0000007E (0xC0000005,0x00000000,0xBACC70BC,0xBACC6DB8) If I uninstall and go back to SP1 it's ok but this is probably for...

:D:thumbsup: The system is up! The instruction sheet for Patriot ram should show a picture of a refridgerator :). I pulled everything out of the box as suggested and started building, first just cpu and one cold ram and it beeped. I then hooked up the vid card and keyboard to attempt to get...

I did try it with one stick also and any combo you could have with 2/1 sticks. Thanks for the idea though.

New system, won't boot except...

Update, I found out that the problem is that the board defaults to 1.8v for the memory but my memory is spec'ed at 2.1v. Even though it starts at lower settings for default it still may not be enough to get going. You need to get into the bios to boost the voltage and from there on out it...

After extensive websearching :) I'm finding the P5B's have boot problems and are very particular about what ram they like - I'm assuming it doesn't like my Patriot ram :(. I'm considering my options right now, I'm investigating a bios update that may solve the problem of course I need to get...

Thanks for the reply, I thought I tried that combo but not out of the case. Everythings out at this point (getting ready for an RMA) but I'll power it up again and give it one more try. As I think about it more I'm getting away from the RMA thought and kinda thinking it's the PSU not being...
