checking 4.05
since i got 450 bus nailed..

okay everything this motherboard does is 0.03v more than maximus
also the CPU temp on this board = core temp on maximus.

only diff is this mobo damn plug and play..
just worry about vcore or NB.. sishh while maximus had to test GTL/PLL and VTT

some noob question here, i get my e8400 oc to 4.05ghz stable with 8 hours prime, small in place FFT, large fft and blend test... and memtest as well, but still getting random BSOD after playing heavy 3D applications games such as crysis... problem solve when using my 2gb Crucial 10th Anniversary RAM but i couldnt get the TEAM Elite 4gb kit stable even on stock settings, 3ghz, DDR2 800. what made the matter worst is the ram are passed all memtest... but keep crashing on certain level of crysis but not for 2gb of ram... main point is do i need to increase NB volt to get 4gb stable on my system, its impossible the ram passed all test but random restart playing heavy 3d Games... i am using ASUS Blitz Formula Mobo... and also what's the safe 24/7 voltage for NB?

probably ur graphic card is giving problems... try running the cpu @ stock ?

@ice
u running wat vcore for 4ghz?ur stock vcore how much?how far can go with ur stock vcore?highest u can go at moment u hv tried?

i running 1.30vcore for 4ghz... stock vcore is 1.225... i tried stable 4.4ghz @ 1.50vcore highest so far... for some reason very hard to make it stable i already overvolt the nb and others cant seem to run @ 4.5ghz...

nice 4ghz at 1.3v..hehhe gud batch..gonna try mine tonite c how

i can run without artifacts using 2gb ram... no hangs. 4gb giving problem even downclock to ddr2 667

so my vid should be 1.1375v , which smartguardian showing the correct reading.....when i set everything
stock.

yup thats ure vid.. good stuff
mine is 1.19v

here is the problem
u dont have enough vtt range to go lower than vid.
heck i can do 3.6ghz at 1.152 , u'd expect me to be able to do 3ghz at 1.4.. but nope.. cannot not enough range.

erm..just a noob question bro... so far there is no problem on hitting this babe @ 4ghz ++ with a p35-ds3 rite?

heck theres only one thing i find the mars damn gila
is the rams.. timings are chun and tight
and maximus i cannot do TRD 7 on 500 fsb 1:1
but this board can.

i am having the same cpu and ram as u and has yet to overclock high. Try increase the nb voltage. Could be due to nb stressing.

@cstkl1
bro, for 3.6ghz(500x6) and 3.825ghz(450x8.5) using same vcore n stable prime...do u think if goin for 4ghz(445x9) with same setting can pass prime?

mars overclocking capability owns~~ btw... how high can my crucial ballistix 6400 ram go?

Added on March 1, 2008, 9:57 amwhat vcore are u running?... i think @ 445x9 need alot higher vcore...

wah 3.825 1.184v!!!!!
wah...
chun leh.

@cstkl1
is orthos crashing and vista desktop manager crashing = unstable?....

yup..

heck any crash is unstable

i find vista now best way to test instability.

on dreamscene/play some vid/ run orthos.. kekek
its to stimulate a normal stress routine.

hahaha thx for ur help oso..uzairi oso help abit

here my 450x8.5 12hours prime
1.2v bios n idle..load 1.184v



will try 445x9 after dis

sweet clocks at low Vcore dude.. super stuff! i have yet to graduate to 45nm yet

for 450x8.5 oredi passes 12hours prime.using 1.2v stock vcore in bios n idle..load 1.184v..both NB 1.33v
tryin to get same vcore for 445x9 seem cant..so up abit my vcore..now prime with 1.232v load will wait pass or not
