so lucky u got money...
i have to make full use of my gigabyte before upgrading again...

fyi, for 24/7 use i just OC it to 3.2 - 3.3 GHz coz i want to maintain it on stock vcore.

are you on WC? coz your temp is much cooler...

Thanks mate. All I need to ensure no bottleneck occurred with my system.
Read some reviews state that 3.5 quad core is the best assurance.
Planning to get 4870. If I feel that 4870 is worth it, then will grab that otherwise.
Need to get Logitech G25 to play grid now.

Yup, I'm using the I45. It's very good, can get my fsb up to 500 with the x3320. My old IP35E was hitting a wall at around FSB470.

Shawn - you're welcome. Best of luck with it

I'm using the BIOS - never believed in using the software. And yes, it's way more complicated. Many settings =p

Best of luck with it =)
My settings are in the thread - so it should help..

Glock - it's very subjective. One processor may be able to do 443 at 1.175v, another not. Try tweaking your GTL refs, Vmch and Vtt.

Tech - what don't you understand? Too broad la your question =p

DDR is DDR2 voltage la..Your board only supports DDR2 wat =p

Hmm that's not the case on my Tpower. When you enter Voltage Control under the O.N.E menu you should have the voltage setting page for all the different items like Vcore, Vdimm etc in +0.1 or +0.25 increments right?

Sorry for the slightly imprecise description, but the Tpower system is with my gf now - I took back my QX system haha. I do remember very clearly that it was possible to give my RAM pretty high voltage though - at least 6 increments of +0.1.

Yupz or take pictures of your BIOS Voltage Control page la. With those I can probably guide you better..

Mmm very weird. What revision is your BIOS? Try flashing to latest maybe?

Ohh I got it la. These are the BIOS screenshots:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=189234

The +1.85v you mention is -in addition- to the default voltage. So to set your Vdimm to 2.0, you set the Voltage Control to +0.2.

Default voltage 1.8+0.2 = 2.0 =p

Nah just leave it. Flashing BIOS is pretty mafan.
Unless you very free and feel like doing it la =p

this guy got mobo flashing phobia edi 

i still remember

You're welcome..best of luck with it =p
tkh - Why does he have flashing phobia la? Destroyed a motherboard before?

Use 333:667 setting bro.
Nothing is difficult if you think so.

-pWs-

In O.N.E you'll find a setting called FSB(Bsel) To NorthBridge Latch. Set this to FSB1333. Now you should have a setting under DRAM frequency that corresponds to 1:1.

Told you I45 BIOS was way more complicated than IP35E =p

No lor. FSB1333 means 1:1..

Hmm that's weird. Mine says 1:1. What if your FSB and DRAM speed?

Wah weird. Have you tried all the settings under the FSB to Northbridge Latch? One of them should allow you to set 1:1..
