filled it in thats what im testing now. just got a error. so i guess ill try another vcore bump.

I also remember i have my WC Pump plugged into my mobo you guys think thats hurting the flow of power across the board? ima put it on its own power cable and see if my luck picks up!

EDIT: Ok so i un plugged the pump moved it to a direct line. and now i have crazy vdroop its set for 1.47 and im drooping to 1.41. Also under load my multi goes from 21x to 20x... Why? i have it set to always on

[utnorris]

First set your PCIe to either 100 or 102, 103 will cause issues and quite frankly 100 is fine unless you are trying to go over 220. Second, if this is not a D0 stepping set your multi to x19, if it is a D0 stepping then leave it at x20, either way turbo will take you to x21 in Windows. The reason for the voltage fluctuations is that you have EIST on, which needs to be on for turbo to work, but this will dial your CPU back when it is idling and you will see drops in voltages. Put your vcore voltage at +120mv and your CPU VTT at +60mv, this should be plenty for that speed. Try these first and let us know what happens.

ok anyone wanna tell me why my multi wont stay locked at 21x? i have turbo always on and C1e off. I had c1e on and under load it would drop to 20x. Help before i kick the board lol

PPM and EIST on? These will change your multi.

only PPM was on. Oh well i turned them off and im at 3.96 GHz w 1.42v cant seem to get stable at 4 GHz

[tha d0ctor]

is your chip c0/d0 what's batch #, post all your settings like sdla4ever we should be able to help you

I just installed the SB X-Fi Driver from the Bloodrage CD. Activated it and restarted my computer.

When I try to open up Creative Audio Console it gives me the message:

The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit.

Or

When I try to open up ALchemy it says:

---Alchemy.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

What should I do about this?

[utnorris]

Try compatibility mode or admin mode. That may fix the issues.

[OC Me]

Try this. It worked for me.

1.Uninstall Creative drivers,reboot
2.Uninstall Realtek drivers,reboot
3.Put in your disk and run it under Vista Sp1 compatibility mode( to do this right+click and do open or explore, then right+click on the setup.exe file and set compability to vista sp1 in the dropdown list)
4.Install realtek drivers,reboot
5.Install Creative drivers,reboot
6. YOUR DONE AND NOW YOUR SOUND CARD WORKS

PS: make sure you install everything through the disc menu(the bloodrage utility thing), meaning don't browse to the setup file on the disc and install.

Did a search and couldn't find any info on it... how does the included NB waterblock hold up? Known for leaking, exploding, dividing by zero?
