wah you're doing 1.4v 3.2Ghz ka? Mine my E6400 can do 3.2Ghz but with 1.42VCORe and increased VTT and VNB

Haven't lo...sad leh. Nevermind, when I'm back in KL, I'll get someone good at this to test and take pictures of it.

to be precise, here's a good article about NB straps. I linked this last time but seems the topic has sunk down somehwre already

http://thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=30

In other words, ths straps adjusts automatically for these boards and between ranges:

267 - 332Mhz = 1066Mhz

333 - 399Mhz = 1333Mhz

400 and above = 1600 Mhz

The only difference one sees between the 965 and 975 (which is the overclocking limiter for 975) is that a 1600Mhz strap exists. However, how the DFi works is yet to be known but I have a feeling chipset latency's have been relaxed somewhat at 1067Mhz strap so that it is able to OC higher without compromising too much the bandwidth

I'd rather have the GSkill because at least it's been known to do upto 533Mhz FSB over at XS. The XTC Platinum rev. 2 seems a bit harder to clock since they bin those RAM's ngam-ngam nia

Or even the EL Gold PC3200, BH5 UTT goodness

Unless you can confirm the chip's the OCZ uses, I can't say much. For the time being, my pick would be Crucial's Ballitix's as at least they're Microns (Yeah Crucial is Micron's marketting arm)

Not really, the best is the Cellschocks but OMFG, the price

Any reasonable explanation why? Due to plugging in the floppy molex or your house AC outlets stabilized already?

If I were you guys, I'd wait for FCG to update his MBM5 plugin as that's quite reliable and accurate for general purpose. The only problem why I can't recommend one to use it now is because the core temp driver seems to cause the CPU usage to shoot up quite high

LOL thanks alot...saved me alot of work looking for it. Think we should get TS to include all this in 1st page

The RAM is D9 should be able to tahan upto 2.5v VDIMM, so now worries. BTW, the FAN set 100% or auto still? Mine stock cooler temps ok wat. And what strange voltages you mean?

The fan: Under the PC HEalth settings, set CPU fan 100%, not Auto.
PPM/C1e: Better to enable those two if you want the PC not to be so hot when idling like I did for mine.
BIOS: DEpends, if your is currently stable, stick to it. Mine I'm sticking to my 411
Volates: Thsoe are because the boards layout and PWM sensor work differently compared to what is known. Stick to the Smart Guardian provided until FCG finalises his update Core Temp plugin for MBM5


Mine didn't both in ORTHOS Blend and Everest's own stress test all except HDD stress test enabled


Download this: http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/BIOS/Winflash184.ZIP

Unzip it

Then download and unzip your BIOS file image

Run winflash.exe, select update all on the left and also CLear CMOS option

Load BIOS image file, then click file/update

And wait for it to flash

Once flash complete reboot, enter BIOS, set default/optimised settings, rebbot and make sure ESCD updated before messing with settings

think it's the PWM trying to maintain as low as possible the vdroop since it may trying to compensate actually

under DRAM speed lo....1:1 is 266, 4:5 is 333, 2:3 is 800

at Smart Guardian select Options set all the fan control option to Software Control and set Fan Speed Control to full. That would sort it out

gawd EOMA, how many times do I have to tell everyone NOT to use nail varnish? It leaves residue thanks to the acetone. Have you ever felt nail polish remover drying in your fingers? Sticky abit right? That's why use something else like tape head cleaner alcohol or Zippo fluid. Here's mine at stock cooling VCore 1.42v and VNB 1.5v



And yes I got rid of the gunky crap the NB was using as TIM and use AS5 instead. And PPM+C1e enabled

Offtopic again...please use the casing section to ask instead. Focus to issues about this motherboard here

erghhh tricky this one. Have you set optimised settings before doing anything? If yes, after that did you set Enhanced Data Transmitting & Enhanced Addressing
as Fast?

I installed my XP and Vista in dual channel mode and slightly overclocked speeds too. My guess is your Team RAM's may have a few quirky subtimings. Try either to run it at Default or Optimised settings to see how. Shouldn't be an issue unless SPD info is out of spec (Reminds me of GSkill and Geil)

wrong, tha maximum physical memory addressing limit for a 32 bit OS IS 4Gb as seen here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929580/en-us for Vista

Why it doesn't detect properly is because for XP SP2, they physically set an addressing limit of about 3.5Gb due to some security vulnerabillity. Want full 4Gb detection? Install XP SP1a instead. Or you could try adding a /pae argument into your boot.ini file

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platf...PAE/PAEdrv.mspx

However a theoretical limit still applies whereby total physical memory addressable for 32bit OS with PAE enabled is 2^36
