Yes, i`m addicted now so I`ve just got me a Corsair TX750W PSU and I`m going to do some casemodding and cablemanagement next weekend. Next up will probably be a new mobo/CPU for my christmas present to myself. 1/2 tax in December. Gotta love that!

Vi snakkes ja. Jeg kommer garantert til å trenge dine råd fremover!

well guys i finally sorted out a few issues with DEP etc i had to update bios to 0801 im still on stock and finally got a stable 3dmark 06 test i also set my ram to manufacturer defaults manally ram voltage 2.010 < its stable but i could of sworn its meant to be 2.1v

ok now onto starting to overclock i only want 3.0ghz and i will be happy ive been reading the asus forums a lot have got 3.2ghz on stock cooling using ht and north bridge volts of 1.40 southbrige on auto what i need to know is my CPU vid which on the box is 1.2500v but on cpuz its only showing 1.1500 currently still have speedstep etc enabled

one other issue i have set my pcie thing from pci to pcie and still after sending orb validation my gpu is showing in VGA :\ even though before starting 3dmark it shows 9800gtx/gtx+ is it because im using a HDMI 26" monitor?? i have the latest nvidia WHQL drivers :-/

settings im gonna try for 3.0 ghz

fsb 333 effective 1333mhz x9 multi
cpu voltage 1.2500 what should be stock set to 1.3000
ht 1.40 v
northbrige 1.40 v
soutbrige auto

lol I thought I was bad

@ ukgouki nice you got it stable! you have a much lower vid q6600 than me, so you dont need so much volt to get it stable

I didn`t really understand your problem? can you explain better?

problem being on 3dmark validation it says my 9800gtx+ is genaric VGA

i read up on the asus forums and was told to change vga/graphics card mode on the motherboard bios from pci to pcie and it still shows the same it could be just the default monitor settings on my hdtv :-/ native is 1080p but 3dmark is running at 720p.

yes and got an extremely good score 15602 not bad for a single 9800 and q6600 @ 3.0ghz

reading tech support on 3dmark 06 i have to downgrade my display driver to 175.35 if i do that my 9800gtx+ isnt compatable with that driver so looks like i have to wait for 3dmark to validate the newer drivers

other than that only 1 other issue im on bios 801 cpuz and gpuz say my motherboard mcp and chipset are 650i yet everest latest beta show 750i :-/ see validation below unless thats normal for this mobo :-/

that is an ok score! Oc a little more and you will break 16k without a problem I got 16018 points if I dont remember wrong with a 8800GTS 512 and Q6600 @ 3.2ghz, so keep on going for it

about you chipset thats normal, when I had my 750i it was like that to, its because the 750i is really a upgraded 650i chip, so no worries

EDIT: see you soon have 500 posts
