so far i want to leave it at about 3ghz. but im pretty clueless on the ram. ram is seeing 2v right now and timings are set on auto (5-5-5-15). vcore is at 1.34. what about the ratio? how important does the ration have to be at 1:1? what happens if it is set to 1:2 or 1:3?

thanks again.

People have found that Intel systems run the fastest with a multiplier closest to 1:1. With that being said, if you can push one faster than the other, I don't think its going to hurt your performance but you can certainly check it with benchmarks.

I.e. I run my CPU at 300 or 333 x 9 sometimes, that doesn't mean I change my memory multiplier so it runs at 600Mhz or 667 Mhz, though Unless I want to tighten the timings to 4-4-4-12 instead of 5-5-5-15, then I'll run it at 667 instead of 800.

Its been 110 minutes now and still at 61C. The room is 72 F.

Yes, your temperatures show their maximum range pretty quickly, and you should be fine

Also, Most ANYTHING doesn't usually bring the core up as hot as Prime95 does, that's why its a great test.

But keep in mind that if you're gaming for a while or something like that, your other cards will raise the ambient temp in the case, so don't just ignore it all now

Thanks

iono about that but i sure would like the stock heatsink/heat pipes from the 780i boards

I suggest (grasping at straws here) setting the AC Restore Power function to SoftReset.. maybe that will help?

If you look a few pages back my BIOS settings are posted in screenshots, maybe that will help?

The only problem that I had that was similar to what you're saying was not realizing I hadn't changed the memory multiplier.

I just ordered this board from ClubIT.com for $89.48 shipped

I'm in the process of building my first system. So far I have a CM Stacker 830 and some Crucial Tracers.
I ordered this board, an E8400, GTS 512 and whole mess of other stuff this morning. I'd like to read as much as possible of this thread but 99 pages is undoable. About what page do the Wolfdales come in and how are they working in this board? I hear it doesn't require a bios update to post with them like some boards do, but I imagine there will be a later bios I need to flash anyway?

I prefer the latest and greatest but you can always go with "if it aint broke, don't fix it"

What kind of aftermarket CPU coolers are you guys using on this board that fit? Just curious because I don't really want to use the stock that comes with my E8400 when it gets in.

i have must use stock settings. but i can't boot up system this settings.
when i change or enable cpu host clock control , system dont boot up.
but i can changed RAM timings ,frequency and cpu clock ratio. for example i can use this settings

Robust Graphic Booster Auto
CPU Clock Ratio 10X
CPU Host Clock Control disabled
CPU Host Frequencey (mhz) 200
PCI Express Frequency (mhz) 100
C.I.A.2 Disabled
System Memory Multiplier (SPD) [2.00]
Memory Frequency (Mhz) 800 400
timings 4 4 4 12

but i cant boot this settings |

I use the ZEROtherm Nirvana and it fits into my case with just a little bit left over. Massive cooler, but also one of the higher rated ones on anandtech's aftermarket cooler guide. I like it though, keeps my processor cool, might have been a bit of an overkill since the eE8400 is 45nm.
