You forgot to link BIOS 411. Stable BIOs so far but can't OC it yet since I don't have D9's with me. So far on Elpida's boot stable at 400Mhz

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

I think its is the core temperature issue.  My E6600 es is reading something like 70~85C idle.  I know it is a bug because this cpu is running on Swiftech water cooling.  When I touch the water block, it is cold.  The same cooling on on PentiumD 930 only reads 26 ~ 45C top at load

ANY OF U GUYS EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH A USB DRIVER?MINE CANT LOCATE THE USB DRIVER SO IN THE DEVICE MANAGER MARK !!!!!!!!!!!AT THE HARDWARE AND LIST THAT THE DRIVER FOR THE DEVICE IS MISSING OR CORRUPTED.PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP....

try set ur fsb strap manually as 266 lo....

Yes 

Huhuhuhu.

For amd64 can disable the 'cool n quiet' function. Is there anything i should disable in bios to make the mobo or cpu to run at max performance/voltage?

Interested

But depends on pricing

edited: tracer and non tracer, what is the difference?

the one adjustable is ur cpu fsb,while the option speed like 533,667,800 and so is divider

266:533=1:1
266:667=4:5
266:800=2:3
anyone can explain about y 266:533 is not 1:2 instead of 1:1?
may be ram is double data rate?

I'm using a standard stock cooler, cleaned off the thermal paste with nail polish cleaner and then applied artic ceramique. I've also attached a 4.5k rpm P3 fan to teh NB, and closed my casing. Getting CPU temp 52 deg, NB temps of 41 deg, and system 64 deg (???!!!)

really meh ?

Waiting for my crucial ballistix rams to arrive.

My new setup will be:

Core2Duo E6420
DFI Infinity P965-S
Crucial Ballistix PC2-5300 DDR2 667MHz 2GB Kit
BFG Geforce 8800GTX
Silverstone OP650

On a better watercooling system too.

hmm i decided to buy another c2d rig as family pc (gaming, surfing, downloading, watching movie, and autocad)

here is what i plan to buy..

intel c2d e6750
dfi infinity 965-s
2x 1gb crucial ballistix pc5300/6400

but that asus mobo seem not compatible with many ram, picky just like Infinity

at least it still can be cure with a pencil. asus=vdroop

AFAIK, infinity has it too

check this one out. vdrop max of 0.02v

Infinity vdroop is good, very little, mine is around 0.012v. Asus board has great vdroop all this while on every mobo.

haha, overkill man. A near 1K gadget to measure temp, not for us to play with. Industrial will definitely invest in it.

Certain mobo will suit the speedfan, some others will suit the Everest, have to try various types.
