Yea I'm having issues to. I'm rmaing my board and getting a replacement. So far I have a bad taste in my mouth with this board. Hopefully the new one is good.

Thank you veterans.

I may have some insight into my problem here. It seems to hate it when I set my multiplier to 10. Stock is 10x266, but when I first booted up the board it was running 8x266, so i changed the multiplier to 10 and went about my day. Maybe having the multiplier at 10x and something else enabled or disabled it throwing the board off. I couldn't even do 3ghz with 10x300, but it booted find doing 3.2 @ 8x400. Mybe something to do with the older chip.

yes i have all those options disabled.. its a weird problem. I'll try and post some pictures of my bios so you could see what i have disabled.

Yeah so running with x8 multiplier this board is running sweet. One question: Does the vcore voltage shown in cpu-z correlate to where you have the vcore set in the bios or how much the chip is using? I had vcore set to 1.4 at 3.4Ghz and cpuz said it was using 1.344v, but I set it to 1.35v at same speed and cpuz is saying it's using 1.296V ?

repo_man

CPU-Z is showing the actual voltage. These boards tend to have a mild to large v-drop (drop from what BIOS is set to, to actual in OS voltage)

Running my e8400 at 4.005Ghz so far everything seems stable, did prime 95 small FTT's for 8 hours lastnight with no errors.

my board is revision 1.1 running f5 bios.

vcore is set to 1.30 in bios, but at load its 1.232/1.248 (it will jump around for abit then hit 1.232 more on average or just stay at 1.232) LLC is off.

idle temp is 27/ load is 46 max (room temp is 24°c)

CPU PLL : 1.65 : 1.5v (target)
CPU Termination : 1.2v : 1.3v (target)
CPU reference 0.76v
CPU vcore 1.3v

MCH core 1.2v
MCH/DRAM reference 0.9v
MCH Reference 0.76v
ICH i/o 1.5v
ICH Core 1.1v

Is there anything there set too high? Most are on auto, i've only changed CPU PLL to 1.5v, memory to 2.0v and obviously vcore in bios.

EDIT: memory running at 1068mhz @ 5-7-7-20 now.

Ok so Im getting reay to OC my sig rig for the first time couple of questions

LLC should be off correct?

Should Eist be enabled?

Disable EIST.

LLC is up to you really. From what I've seen, the board has terrible vdroop so you might need it once you reach a high overclock.

ichiveritas

thanks man!

From what im reading I should also disavle C1E right?

Is there anything else that should be disabled or enabled right off the bat for this rig?

I usually disable the following:

Limit CPUID Max. to 3
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)
C2/C2E State Support
x C4/C4E State Support
CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2)
CPU EIST Function
