Just to add my $.02, I picked up this board last week and have been slowly getting comfortable. I'm a relative noob to OC'ing so I took my time. I'm at 4.25ghz on my Q9550. This board makes an FNG like me feel like a pro

MY goal is to get to 533 fsb. Anything over 506 has defeated me so far, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop trying! My settings are:

Vcore: 1.325
VTT: 1.42
PLL: 1.5
NB: 1.4
Ram: 2.1
Everything else is auto! I have LLC enabled, but I'm gonna turn it off based on what I've been reading.
I'm gonna get some screenshots up soon and start asking for help!

If your MB is anything like mine you will NEED LLC on. This MB has a ridiculous vdrop and vdroop. I also agree that anything over 506 is not happening with out real tweaking. Unfortunately I do not know what to tweak, and asking on several forums has left my with out an answer. I'm not sure if people are just reluctant to help or if they just can't.

Ledge, list out all your DRAM (including those under ADVANCED) within your motherboard. This board has amazing flexibility with it's RAM settings but it can sometimes be pretty picky about them as well.

Is LLC bad even at sensible OCs? Im installing this weekend and im biased about enabling LLC.
Im worried about my new CPU.

Here's something that you might find handy when working with your DRAM timings...

I'm changing out my MB right now.I'm not sure what to do about the eight plug at the top of the motherboard the you hook the powersupply to. My TX750 doesnt have any eight prong plugsor 4 prone for that matter,i used a extra 4 prong jump wire for my other MB. I've read the book and its not real clear as to if you can use 4 or you have to use a 8 prong. The 4 prong only fits in 4 closest to the front of the case,could anyone help out?

Using only one 4 pin CPU power connector works fine. 8 is optimal for CPUs with higher power requirements and overclocking but you can get by using only 4.

Rob, have you tried pencil modding this yet? how's the vdroop?

Fors30 · 12-06-08

Does anyone possibly have a list of CPU coolers that fit on this board with no mods? Not sure on which im gonna get yet but am thinking of the Noctua-NH-U12P. Thanks
