i think 65nm cpu not suffered from that problem.. so should be accurate..

50? that's high.. maybe the heatsink not seated well.. or maybe too much thermal paste
but on realtemp 2.70 around 30-33 only..

why acronis fail to detect my hdd on this mobo?

using acronis in windows is fine, no prob detecting my hdds

the prob occurred when i'm using acronis bootable rescue media

do i need to change some settings in the bios for it to work?

change sata to native ide mode?

after doing backup, switch back to sata. sata have many conflict with a lot of backup software. i'm using Ghost 11

hi guys, wanna ask, previously im using dfi dk p35 mobo on vista 32bit os with 4gb ram, and the os was logically detected about 3.25gb of ram..

but when i use this board it only utilizes 3gb..

i suspect this is caused by "memory remap feature" setting on the bios



am i right?how am i gonna increase the memory utilized?should i disable it?

not seated well? cannot be as im using sskit,not push pin..
well,let me check again la..

same, fail to detect my hdd

guess have to wait for new version of acronis like last time in P965 days

i use the 7/10/08 bios and 6/26/08...both bios cant change Cpu Frequency Setting and OverClock Retry Count....

other settings except these 2 are setable......so i have to change the fsb from tpower2...leceh jo...

BIOS, select Chipset -> South Bridge Configuration -> HDA Controller -> Disable (turnoff onboard sound)

Why we need lower the multiplier when we manual overclock?
Like E8400 default multiplier is 9. FSB is 333. (3GHZ). We can just increase the FSB to 400 to achieve 3.6GHz?
(should we change the CPU voltage at 9*400?)

And i see at some website achieve 4GHz as below
9*445= 4.0GHz
increase the CPU voltage from 1.3625v to 1.4000v in order to achieve total stability
However keep in mind that a 445MHz FSB will force you to run the DDR2 memory at no less than 890MHz, though most DDR2-800 memory modules should be capable of this.
increasing the DRAM voltage to 1.9~2.1v could also be necessary
2.2v for 1066 (kingston hyperX)
Using the standard voltage at 3.6GHz saw a stress temp of just 37 degrees, while this temperature sky rocketed to 60 degrees when operating with more voltage at 4.0GHz!
(above is using Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme)
(anyone have change the DRAM voltage from 2.1-2.2? if i using corsiar dominator 1066. should i change to 2.2v?)

Some CPU-z on overclock E8400

for dominator,in their website show safe voltage for it is 2.2v max i think? voltage is nt the problem. i think u shud play wif vmch to make it stable n gud air for dominator.

becoz to get higher FSB n the fsb:ram ratio in 1:1 is better..

how to properly setup my hdd with ahci with SMART and NCQ?... the settings are quite misleading... primary set to ahci then can set to 4 ports/6ports? then the 2ndary can set to enhanced or disabled?... blurring here since the user manual doesnt explain it properly...

Thanks for fast respone
Ya. We can get higher FSB and ram 1:1 ratio is optimal for stability.
There's lots of reasons for running 1:1... One is less stress on the motherboard because it doesn't have to deal with dividers. Two is generally lower latency, because when you go through a divider, you take a memory performance hit. For example, few ddr3 1333 ram are running 1:1. You would need a fsb of 666mhz, just hard achievable with today's hardware.
What to do is play around with frequency, timings, and dividers, until get the lowest memory latency in Everest.

DDR2 800mhz requires a fsb of 400mhz to get 1:1!

DDR2 1000mhz requires a fsb of 500mhz to run 1:1!

DDR2 1200mhz requires a fsb of 600mhz to run 1:1!

DDR3 1333mhz requires a fsb of 666 to run 1:1!

E8400@3Ghz oc to 3.6Ghz without changing the vcore ok?
My ram is 1066. 1066/2=533. Mean i can oc 9*533? (if temp no consider) by using Biostar TPower.
Any recommand for oc to 3.6GHz or 4GHz using dominator 1066 ram? What is the suitable multiplier, FSB and vcore?

8 series can oc with less vcore.. 4ghz around 1.4v
my 7 series requires 1.5v..

actually 700fsb achievable with this board IINM.. so 666 is no problem..
now limit only with ddr2..

last time,i able to dload beta bios (7/08/08) that release for 1 day only.
try this file here > bios - 7/08/08
pls,use on your own risk

want to ask Q here...
Which one is d best to pair up my X3320...
Biostar Ip45 or P5Q??
need to change mobo here...

whoops got ppl wana change mobo...

anyways, why change mobo? ur abit is not bad what

d VTT and GTL menu a bit teruk la...
oni got 2 choices je...
need to maintain d low vcore...

can someone tell why does my multi keeps changing?

already disable both C1E Support & Intel SpeedStep Tech

set the multi to x8.0, yet the multi stays at x6.0 when idle

argh, this ruin my OC-ing mood

maybe theres a setting that still stay enable..
try check again..iinm the intel speedstep got 2 at different section
rr,,i check again later

actually inside that menu got another option to disable..
but i forgot.. lazy to restart pc n check..

maybe u can list up n i can remember something..
