dpoverlord Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Greetings, I am really sure that my CPU E6600 Can O/C more than I have gotten it (3431.0mhz) I got it to 12 hrs Dual Orthos and 1 prime stable. The problem occurs when I raise my FSB passed 380 to 390 and higher. When I raise the FSB 390 the screen goes black with my HD's running and LED lights on. Occasionaly I can reboot from this into the bios but mainly I have to CMOS Clear. I doubt the CPU is causing this so what can I do to fix the Mobo? I am using the 12/16 bios. Any help is apprecaited. Also is there a way I can test this thoery by lowering the Multiplier? I still have not found a setting in the 12/06 bios that allows me to change the multi from 9 to 8 or 7. Thank you. Also would the 2/27/07 bios or 97TID227 BIOS make a difference? I just want to really test this CPU since I have awesome cooling and it seems the board is holding me back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes-5 Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 I have a couple of the older boards, and they both run 400X9 stable. I am using an older bios too. I thought those newer boards will clock better. Have you tried setting the ram at Auto? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpoverlord Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 I will try that when I get home. I left the machine @ 380FSB 1.31V and the settings were: Genie BIOS PPM Function........................ - Enabled CPU Clock Setting................... - 380Mhz PCIE Clock Setting.................. - 110MHz SATA Clock Sync. With............... - Fix 100Mhz CPU VID Offset Setting.............. - + 100.0mV Default CPU Voltage................. - 1.3250v CPU VTT Voltage Setting............. - 1.20v DRAM Voltage Setting................ - 2.10v NB Chip Voltage Setting............. - 1.65v DRAM Timing and Config DRAM Timing Selectable.............. - Manual CAS Latency Time.................... - 4 DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay............. - 4 DRAM RAS# Precharge................. - 4 Precharge Delay (tRAS).............. - 15 System Memory Frequency............. - 533Mhz Refresh Mode Select................. - 15.6 Write to Precharge Delay............ - Auto Write to Read Delay (Same).......... -Auto Write to Read Delay (Diff).......... - Auto Read to Write Delay................. - Auto Write Recovery...................... - Auto Read Recovery....................... - Auto Read Delay.......................... - Auto Data A Drive Strength............... - 1.75 Data B Drive Strength............... - 1.75 x8 Control Drive Strength........... - 2 x16 Control Drive Strength.......... - 2 x8 Clock Drive Strength............. - 2 x16 Clock Drive Strength............ - 2 Command A Drive Strength............ - 2 Command B Drive Strength............ - 2 This is running stable so far at 8 hours when I get home it will be running round 20 hours. The computer is running 1 Orthos Stress test, 1 prime 95 and it already ran an OCCT Torture test at the same time. The temps via Core temp are reading around 50-55C on Core 1 and Core 2 ( Smart guardian reads 65C for some reason). I also reapplied the AS5 as was suggested before via the thin line method. The only issue I may have had is that the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme is massive(especially with a 120mm 72cfm SIlenX fan) and while I was mounting, the heatsink still moved left and right a little as I was trying to screw it to the motherboard via the mounting plate. I am not really sure what I could be doing wrong. I will try setting the mem to SPD? Instead of manual? Or just set everything to Auto. Maybe I should clear the CMos again and possibly flash to a bios that lets me set the Multi? What do you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praz Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 As I posted in your other post. It would appear that the issues you are having is not the limit of the board. Suggest you have a look in the OCDB. There are a lot of entries there at 400+ FSB on the 975. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpoverlord Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 I read throw all the DFI entries when I get home I will try raising the Vdimm and NB and see what happens. If not I am really at a lost Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 I suggest you read the guide Burlnutt put together Newbie Guide to Overclocking the DFI Infinity 975X/G and then the one that Dan wrote up Infinity 975X/G Overclocking Guide .

dpoverlord Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 I suggest you read the guide Burlnutt put together Newbie Guide to Overclocking the DFI Infinity 975X/G and then the one that Dan wrote up Infinity 975X/G Overclocking Guide . I actually read those guides about 5x the only thing that still throws me off is straps and where those come into play. I have a semi-ok understanding but I guess my discrepancy comes from my amd64 learning which took awhile to get down. You dont think the beta 2/13 bios would make a difference though do you?

dpoverlord Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 I did what was suggested and went into my bios and raised the Voltages to see if it would help in getting the mobo passed 380FSB. This is what I did: A. CPU VID Offset Setting.............. - + 200.0mV CPU VTT Voltage Setting............. - 1.30v DRAM Voltage Setting................ - 2.10v NB Chip Voltage Setting............. - 1.65v The system hung as was seen before just a black screen when I turn on with the bios not even loading. B. CPU VID Offset Setting.............. - + 200.0mV CPU VTT Voltage Setting............. - 1.35v DRAM Voltage Setting................ - 2.10v NB Chip Voltage Setting............. - 1.7v Same issue nothing C.CPU VID Offset Setting.............. - + 225.0mV CPU VTT Voltage Setting............. - 1.35v DRAM Voltage Setting................ - 2.10v NB Chip Voltage Setting............. - 1.75v Most disturbing to me these are very high values for Voltages. And I am still getting no response. I am going to try loading the 2/27 bios and see if this helps I am very befuddled as to what is going on. I even made sure I turned off all CPu enhancements PPM, then in memory everything was on auto except I set it to 400mhz and 533mhz. Any ideas?

fmc_boss Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Have u updated the BIOS yet? You'r allready up to 3.4 GHz - the next few points are where the trial & error comes into play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpoverlord Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I updated the bios to 2/27/07 I cant figure out how to get over this wall though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
