Will post more details in a bit :D


Is that prime stable?
 
Devious said:
My P5B dlx board.



Max x7 Multi


what vcore is that?

I have come to the conclusion that the 965 chipset is better than the 975 chipset! :eek:

I'm playing with a DS3 at the mo and I have to say it feels more solid! :eek:


P.S Devious

Prime screenie please! :D
 
1.2v or there abouts.


Get CPU-Z 1.37 all other versions fail to show correct vcore.

Fine up to about 1.55v on water.

You wont need more that that I wouldn't thought.

Be interesting what you get as Devious ES 6700 maxed out at 3.7ghz and yet his E6600 (the same as mine ) is good for 4ghz :D

revision B1 if thats any guide.. I'm still finding it slightly insane that the stock 1mb superpi was 19s on an old windows install with 1 stick of ram and no motherboard drivers installed.

I've been around for a while and I've never seen that sort of performance increase in a chip swap and I change a LOT...

Welcome to the world of the conroe!

These things are seriously fast at 3.6-4ghz

They really are that good! :D
 
Not sure wether the G skill is holding me back with this mobo.DS3 BTW

The ram is capable of 1ghz with ease but I have to run 3.6ghz 4:5 1ghz ram to achieve this.

Aparantly the bods at gigabyte are working on a bios that allows higher FSB with the micron 9 chips or something.

If I try to boot 1:1 anything above 430 FSB I have no joy.

Wish I had some GEIL that I could try with this mobo!

hi, i have been in contact with G Skill, it seems that your right about it holding back, i was under the impression the this mem could do a 1500 fsb, "is impossible"
i got it to 999fsb in a 2:3 the chip @ 333. this was very stable....
i have the mem at 2.4 volts... high but is seems ok...

at the moment running a very stable prime and all other stress tests...
3445 x 9 = 382
mem
4.4.4.8.12. frequency 288.... 4:3

i ordered a ds3 today, will let you know what happens...
The DS3 has issues with the d9 micron modules reaching over 450FSB

I can run 3.6ghz 4:5 1ghz without issue.

i have just tried this on the p5w, seems to work with 1 gig at 3575 4:5, it boots into windows and does a sweet pi,, thats about it though,,, i need water...:)

How did your ram behave at 2:3? Did you try it?

I ran 3.8ghz 1:1 with the asus
 
nickinmarbella said:
quote from them…..

"1:1 you might have problem with P5WDH motherboard.
If you can run 2:3 over 800 then it is not the problem with ram.
Please make sure your 975 NB can run over 370.
Some time it is the problem with your 975 NB not the ram.
1500FSB is impossible."

Hmm

I ran 3.8 1:1

9x 425

the asus could not do 2:3

3.6ghz 1ghz ram but that was the old revision have yet to try the asus mobo with the 1.85v option on the mch
 
nickinmarbella said:
wow...
seems that the p5b d might be the answer to the high fsb.,. do you no if has issuse with the d9 Micron..
seems not in your case...

looks like i am going to run and buy me a p5b d.. and some water cooling..... another 500€ to spend... i better get a quick and stable pc for this wad.,.,..:)


Have you read the post?

He can only get gaming stable at 3.6ghz.

Anyone with a P5B at 500 FSB with a E6600 is talking BS!


Devious was a screen shot,

Not stable and as he has said himself he could only get the P5B stable at 3.6ghz
 
<maddness> said:
lol there are plenty of people who have over 500fsb with a p5b deluxe and a conroe never mind allendales.

this is all with the rev 1

all plastered around in this thread amongst others
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=112648

besides im running 475 100% stable this is from boot (might be able to up that to 500 in windows but im not a fan of clockgen)


Posting super PI times is not stable enough.

Where are the prime stable shots of 500 FSB with E6600's?

Even Devious got a screen shot of 8x 500 with his P5B but was it gaming stable/prime stable at this FSB?

No!

He had to drop to 400x 9 just to play oblivion

Im not interested unless I can have 8x 500 24/7

As I might as well stay at 3.8ghz
 
<maddness> said:
