I think I am going to get another set of PC2-8000 this week coming up

Silviastud · 05-12-07

OK I made my own thread about this and no one could help me it seems so I am going to post in here:

1. I can't get NVMonitor to work on my system. Attached is the screen shot. I have cleaned and reloaded all nvidia drivers several times. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled all of the nvidia control panels and tuners as well. Any thoughts?

2. Is it normal for an E6300 to top out with 1.4v? I can't get this bad boy past 3.42GHz to save my life. I just thought it strange being as I was under the impression you could push it further. The second screen is a picture of my current setup so if you see something I am missing let me know. Thanks!

Okay, this board HAS to be bad. After playing with the settings for a while, it won't even POST at 1500FSB anymore which was working totally fine the night before. Even setting it to 1400 the system will start crashing in Windows. And all voltages and settings are *exactly the same* as when it was working last night.

I've increased the NB voltage up to 1.65V, memory to 2.10V, CPU up to 1.45V. Every damn time same result -- either no POST or it freezes immediately at the POST screen. At 1500FSB everything works peachy.

I even stepped down to the 0901 BIOS revision and it made no difference. It doesn't look like there's anything else left to adjust here. I KNOW the CPU can do 2.8GHz with ease. Does anyone think that my power supply only having a 4pin connector has anything to do with what's going on? Going to have to send this thing back to NewEgg soon if I can't get any results with this thing. It's a shame, really, because I really do like the board. But for whatever reason, I've never had any luck with ASUS boards and overclocking.

Have you tried out a different PSU? I'm not the most up to date person with PSUs, but if it was going bad I could see this being a symptom. Also I'm unsure how the 4 vs 8pin connect varies. What I do know is that it's the cpu power so I could also see that as an issue. 2Cents.

You up date the bios?That's odd that nvidia monitor not working.

Silviastud · 05-12-07

1002 in the bios. I can't figure this out. Also none of the other nvidia control panels work either. I can access is the storage panel. UGH!

speaking of the TR Ultra 120 Extreme, did you (or anyone for that matter) ever get one working and fitting on this board with the heatsinks on the NB/SB.

Unfortunately, I don't have another (good) power supply laying around. And I hate to dump 150 bucks on a new one if that's not the problem. I've ordered a 4 to 8pin adapter, so we'll see if that helps.

This morning it started working fine again. Set to 1500FSB and bam, rebooted, booted into Windows and played some games with no issues. This is really bizarre.

if you have two 4pin leads on your psu. Can both be plugged into the 8pin slot?

My apologies, I do tend to fall in and out of this place rather quickly at times.

I slightly bent the cooler, yes, because it was touching at its default angle.

Very easy to change don't worry! Even my small hands bent it ok.
