I can only get my e6400 to about 2.8ghz before trouble starts happening.
I raised the vcore a slight bit, but still problems. This is on around 1400 FSB.

Should I raise some other voltages too?

Also, I have the memory and CPU set at UNLINKED.
The memory running at 800mhz.

Should I link these and put a divider in or something?

Are there any other settings I should alter now that I've raised the FSB? Like that think on the AMD boards that you have to reduce. The HHT or something?

try linking the ram and cpu using sync mode 1:1. you should be able to get to 3.2ghz with the mem at 800.
and give your cpu 1.4 volts and enable the 0.1+ setting, also set the chipset voltage 1.5.
LDT multi is happy at 5x

Yessss!!!

Nice one. Got it to 3.2ghz no problems at all with those tips.
However, using the Asus probe, my Vcore sits between 1.31 and 1.33 even though I've set it to about 1.38.

Is 1.38 a very high setting for Vcore, or is that very negligible?

Also, got temps at 46C on full load. That seems reasonable to me.
I'm using my old Akasa EVO120, which I had on my AMD board previously. Seems to do a good job on this chip.

Also used the Zalman thermal paste, which seems brill too.

I have 1.53v +100mv presently

benskia · 28 Feb 2007 at 20:39

What does the +100mv do ?

yeah, your board was playin silly buggers like mine did

nope voltage and temps are fine. maybe a little bit more in there. just try and keep the load temps under 60C

adds 0.1 volts to the vcore value

benskia · 28 Feb 2007 at 20:56

ok.
1 more thing if you dont mind.

On my AMD ASUS board, the Q fan had some other options that said at what CPU temperature to raise the CPU fan to 100%.

I have switched Q-fan on with this a5n board, and the fan is just at 2,200 revs constantly. How do I get it to be reactive to CPU temps?

Ta.

tbh I'm not sure, never used the onboard fan headers on this board.

maybe some1 else knows

Seriously hacked off with the****Asus website :mad:

trying to download the beta vista drivers and the server keeps getting reset :confused:

been downloading it for over 3 hrs now plus it dont help the site is ******* slow

Have you tried the Japan mirror? It's about 10x faster than the others.

benskia · 1 Mar 2007 at 16:37

Is 60C too hot for the Motherboard temperature?
Or will it be okay?

Ta.

No..tried usa europe and global thou :rolleyes:

Do the pencil mod, My VCore is rock solid during Orthos when measured in Speedfan. Its allowed me to drop my VCore and hit 3.3ghz stable for 8 hours (turned it off after that and spanked COH for a few hours).

That's always the way....

Why don't the manufactures do this (obviously not with a pencil) in the design? What's the downside?

The ASUS and NVidia designers are from Taiwan, where the native language is Chinese. Unfortunately they use brushes to paint the characters so when they try these mods the ink tends to short out the boards, hence they droop hideously. Who said Western technology wasn't superior?

I thought they spoke mandarin, or is that satsuma.

You are, as usual, absolutely correct. There are three main dialects of Chinese, Mandarin, Wu and Cantonese (in that order of popularity).

Did you not get the joke about them not having pencils and shorting out the motherboards with brushes and ink? :confused:

Or is my sense of humour pants?

I have a question for you guys, after a lot of work I manged to get my e4300 to 3ghz didn't want to push it any further as it was all stable and I had no problems.

Last weekend somthing odd started happening, when I turn on the PC it does not post and I have to switch off and back on (restart doesn't work). Doing this resets all my clocks and then I have to go into BIOS and relod settings which is a pain.

I was using auto voltage select on the v-core so thought it wasn't getting enough juice. I manually set it to 1.42, still the same problem.

I turn my pc off at night on the PSU so thought maybe that had somthing to do with it, so I've not been switching it off but still the same problems.

I ran orthos stable for 3 hours yesterday so the overclock seems stable,and I dont really want to clock it down just yet as once in windows its fine. Can any of you can help me?

I will just restart and get my setting for you ..... watch this space!

Thanks

Here they are
V-core 1.42
Memory Auto
NB 1.563
V-core offset +100 mv

FSB 1334 (333*9)
Memory 800mhz

If you need any more info just ask, cheers

Can you think of any changes, no matter how small you may have made, either software/hardware or settings.
Is your Mobo battery connected correctly?
Is the CMOS Reset jumper in the right position?
If it is stable then i cant see it being heat related so maybe the Mobo is losing power at shutdown, do you turn off the PC at the Mains?
