i'm using original bios,never update anything,cause i heard from shawty said that the newer bios got a bit problem.

Pls take note:
this mobo got some compatiblity problem with ES processor and some D9 chipset ram.
try ur luck,mine one got no problem with GMH chipset.

and one thing,i'm using air cooling only....the temperature is quite hot.....

well,cute overclocker,what is the temp when u hit 3.93 with vcore of 1.74 on air cooling?hehew.....

huh?u sure?
how come like that?
E6300 is one of the best overclockable proc....
anyway,i used many units of e63 before,all of them can simply go beyond 3.0GHz wor....with chapalang mobo

wakaka.....padan muka bro shawty!we're all faster than u to show off our rig!!!!
haha.....

well,taxidoor,i faced the problem like u too,looks like the cpu-z is not reading the multiplier correctly....

and coolice,i got a qwuestion to ask u,hope u dont mind....
u hitting 4.0Ghz while i hitting 3.6GHz,why there is no big different in the superpi 1M?

and one thing,i tested before,a super hot processor really process slower than lower speed but cool processor.

wah.....this really make a big different ah?

well,let me tell u guys my experience.
i'm using D9GMH,it has no problem with me when wanna oc.
but i'm using Enermax 535W psu,macam ada problem,here it goes:
when i wanna switch on my pc,(cold boot),the pc will fire up,then after 5 seconds,it shut down.....then only second time boot up (auto boot up),then it will run into POST with no problem,then can run for whole day liao....

i'm not sure what's going on there,even psu also got problem with mobo?i first time experience only....but one thing,the bios reading and smartguardian temperature reading is kinda inaccurated,i use core temp to read,my idle at 3.6GHz only 38c and 36c.

(btw,who know how to deactivate the memory self testing in the POST screen there?scanning 4GB of ram is kinda long,and i cant show up full scren logo)

not really....like time i used DQ6 and DS3 and P5B-E Plus even i oc kaw kaw no got the problem like that,only this Infinity dark power got the problem like that.

no,i can confirm,the mobo is running everything kinda hot compared to other 965 based mobo.

i also kena vdrop when orthos,i set 1.525 vcore when i orthos it dropped to 1.47 lo.....kinda a lot....
btw,i also cant show full logo when boot up even i changed the option inside the dark power bios....
and also got a lot of thing that i dont know is what...

wah....i really pening with this mobo la....currently running at 400x9,when i switch to 8x425,(3.4),the pc hang lo.....

well,my ram is GMH with CL4 and 2.1vdimm,more than enough....last time i was able to run this setting in my DQ6,DS3,965PT,all mobo able to run it,only this dark power got problem.....maybe this mobo got some cacing inside....

nice info!
thanks bro!
anyway,what if i put auto?

how come like that ah?
What's wrong for B0 ES until it wont boot with this dark mobo?

previously i also facinf vdrop problem with my psu with this dark power,but now seems to be ok already.

Eoma,what cooler u usng?
sound kinda high when load.

anyway,my SmartGuardian showing not really accurated....
if u guys think it's accurate,then me liao,cause me facing heavy vdrop problem now....

ur sensor siao already,maybe it's facing hot air like bro sup3rfly said.

try adjusting the fan and modify the air flow direction.

well,the mobo is ATX platform,i think a good air flow casing will give a better performance for ur pc.

does he mean he has problem when trying to run dual channel in the mobo?

well,bro jslut.u can try running both the ram with non-dual channel mode?
