I've just upgraded from my old P4 to a Core2 6600, Crucial 2GB Tenth Anniversary Kit, Evga 680i 8800 GTX. I've got it all togther and i'm trying to get my head around all this new tech

I've got this so far

But i've been looking around the fourms most people seem to be running at 1:1 divider kinda like this

I just carnt seem to work out how to do this in my bios and get it to boot

Could someone point me in the wright direction please

Thanks for anyhelp

Set the memory to Linked, then set the divider part to Synchronised

sorted

Nice one m8, should use the unlinked memory though on the board to boost that

I have mine unlinked 9x 1600, memory at rated 900mhz, 1.337vcore

After running at 1.475vcore for a week ive found that i can use a lot less volts, before orthos wouldnt look at this sort of volts, all seems good now.

Might be a mix of burn in and p23 bios making it a lot more stable with less volts.

If your sata drives are showing up in Safely Remove Hardware, this registry hack will allow you to fix it.

1. Click Start -> Run
2. Execute regedit
3. Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvata <-( can have 32 or 64 on the end depending on which version of xp your useing )

4. Click Edit
5. Select New > DWORD value
6. Name this DWORD: DisableRemovable
7. Double click this new DWORD and set its value to one (1).
8. Close Regedit and reboot

yea i thought it was weird having my drives as removable, thought something was wrong

It s perfectly normal, its the way its ment to be for this motherboard

Cheers for the crack though, ill keep a note of it

Like this Trox

When i run 3Dmark it stutters a lot on tests 3 amd 4 the CPU ones, i dont get more than 2 FPS is this normal ?

Thanks

Looks good m8

and the cpu test low to no fps is normal

Might want to check it with Orthos for around 9 hours to be sure its stable, not sure the board likes 1T command rate, not tried it for long though.
