Added on September 1, 2007, 12:27 pmawww crap. just now 3dmark06 hang on CPU test. so i lowered it a little bit and now i can't get to 3.325 already. highest now is 3.318. aihh. well good enough la.

OCer since long time ago. yes, OCing frenzy due to the new BIOS.

as for how much voltage i pump? i didn't change voltage on anything.

so far mine is ok.

me no clubber. OC enough already la.

OK. here's what i found out.

as mentioned by others, i DID face the same thing. 400mhz option - sound screwed. check out my Review. I've updated it again. This lowered their score by far cos I'm freakin pissed. Their latest BIOS allowed 1:1 ratio for 400mhz processor which i'm very happy about and gave them perfect score but............oh well, heck it shouldn't be perfects core anyway. I changed my mind.

the board was good. it's just the BIOS issue.

95% done BIOS is fine.

but from what i observe, the P35 BIOS was horrible.

till now, even my EIST i disabled in BIOS, my multiplier still keeps changing. latest BIOS choose 400mhz on RAM config then audio won't work.

and that's the 3rd BIOS, EIST still like that.

sorry long time didn't use Intel setup BUT AFAIK EIST multiplier shouldn't be jumpign once in disabled EIST.

or else waffor the system allow me to choose multiplier to set. after DISABLE the EIST, the option allowed me to set multiplier. so i set 8 la. boot to Windows, i still see 6. jumps automatically to 8 when it's processing. so makes no difference.

i'll try later. baru flashed new BIOS.

now finally can have audio.

bryanyeo87, what's your exact setting / configuration? (parts la)

cos you haven't reply me on my blog so i have to ask you here.

your rig setup la. since you say you have better SUPER PI score.

i'd like to know your setup, especially your RAM timings.

i'm on 5-5-5-15 also. don't have memset 3.3 to see the other timings.

negligible difference between your and my 20.359s.

sorry. what's "FSB HOLE"?

ok. well i'm running at 400. no problem. no time to go discover black holes.

so unlucky?

i bought that PSU. tried. hated it. sell off to friend.

after a year or 2 of usage, it finally died. hehe. no computer were injured during the death, he just bought another (i think same one) to replace.

my CM Realpower 450w is fine though. so far so good.

which is the unbelievable part?

KVR DDR2 667 2GB OCing is normal la.

IMO if stock cooler then 51c is surely not possible.

cos my E2140 with optimized air-flow case + stock heatsink, full load at 25c room also reach close to 70c.

now change the cooler to Xigmatek S1283 + AC MX2, full load at 25c room also reach close to comes to around 51c.

maybe processor can't take it?

i got to 3.2ghz without having to set anything to the RAM.

before my BIOS patch, the 3:5 ratio and i ran the system at 2.2ghz with DDR2 667 running at 900 speed.

ouhh yeah hor. didn't realize memset there states RAM speed. yeah, set to 1:1.

E2160 is multiplier 8?

yup 8x333 is a good start.

if you're going 8x400 - please monitor the temperature, it gets hot after 3ghz IMO.

i didn't change vcore setting also can reach 3.33ghz.

nice leh. i only reached 3ghz+ a few weeks after i got the board, simply because the BIOS lack OCing features until a little update.

after that, 8x400. which is what i'm running now. record is 8x416 or something like that.
