that is great, thanks for sharing

Do you have a second mouse to test? It could just be a coincidence that your mouse decided to crap out when you got the mobo.

Just ordered a Thermalright HR-09U Type 2 to put on the mosfets along the I/O panel when I install my HR-05 on the northbridge. I'm just going by touch, but the NB heatsink is hotter than my 4870X2 which I have idling at 50°C.

EDIT: Just reread a few posts and now I see that the mouse works fine with the previous mobo. Sorry.

does anyone know what would be the max save voltages for each of these using the ud3r board?

CPU PLL
CPU Ref
MCH Core

Most people will say 1.36v is the highest one should go on CPU Termination/FSB Termination/VTT; no higher than 1.4v if you must pass it. Those values have come as a result of a fried QX9650 used by Anandtech. However, others will contend the dead QX9650 was just an isolated case that came about due to other variables and that the 1.4v limit is just a myth.

Click here to read about a guy who has been (and still is, I believe) running a VTT of 1.6v for six months with no degradation or death.

There really is no accepted concensus on what value is safe. Whatever you set, do so at your own risk. At 470 FSB, I'm running a VTT of 1.54v and I'm not worried.

As for CPU PLL, people say to not go over 1.59v, but it's in the same boat as VTT. There are plenty of people who run it up to 1.69v without any apparent problems.

CPU Ref and MCH Ref voltages depend on what GTLREF you want for the CPU and NB, respecitively.
VTT x GTLREF = Ref Voltage, where ref voltage is what you're setting in BIOS. Most people use a GTLREF of 0.63x for the CPU and 0.67x for the NB; I'm using the stronger GTLREF of 0.67x for both.

I really don't know about MCH core, but I think it can go a little past 1.6v if temps are good. However, there's no temperature sensor for the northbridge so you'll have to put your own diode on the NB or go by touch.

ICH is the southbridge and doesn't play much of a role in overclocking. You can just leave these at their stock values. If you think it'll help, set I/O to 1.57v and core to 1.20v; I've seen a people do that, but I haven't noticed any gains in stability from doing that.

Heh, no worries. Again, I appreciate all the help.

Still, do you have a second mouse to try to see if there's not some kind of conflict between the G5 and the mobo?

I'll just throw a few things out there:

1) Enable/disable USB Mouse Support setting in Integrated Peripherals page in BIOS.
2) Try a different USB port or use an adapter to try the old green connector that older mice use.

FWIW, I have a G5 & G15 set up on this board without issue, however, if there is any question of a device conflict, in my humblest of advice... it never hurts to just test out a different device just in case.

I can give you a dozen reasons why it's probably not related to a driver conflict but when it comes to debugging you should always rule out the easiest test scenarios first...as the more involved solutions run the risk of compounding the problem. :shrug:

Enyalius

heh, as a programmer, I can certainly understand that sentiment. However, I feel that I have ruled the mouse and other devices out because this just spontaneously happened and continues to happen in exactly the same fashion despite excessive amounts of Vista re installs. Thanks for trying, though, I really appreciate all the effort.

Hey there fellas it seems to me that this MB is not really all that stable ATM. I mean it passes IBT, and 12hr of Prime95, but at the same time I get random reboots, crashes, and lockups. I am not sure it is caused by my OC but I do not know what else might be the issue. Last night my LAN went out, and I could not sign online at all. I later decided to lower my FSB and I was able to reset the LAN and get back online. Not sure if the issue was directly linked to my OC but it seemed to have worked. Can I get a little help clearing this up. Do you guy suppose that it is stable because it passed both stress tests, but there is another issue maybe with the OS?
