    DS3 bios reset at boot problem

    Actually, still running the 1.2750 vcore and did +0.1v mch, fsb and the other one and haven't had the problem since...keeping my fingers crossed!

    DS3 bios reset at boot problem

    According to BIOS the stock Vcore is 1.2350v for my chip, don't know if that's accurate or not, but I guess that's where bios runs the chip without manual voltage settings.

    X600XT screen flicker when booting w/TV

    I put together a cheap HTPC using parts I had lying around, and used a Sapphire Radeon X600XT video card with S-Video in/out. After some messing around I got the latest Catalyst v7.2 drivers installed and set the resolution to 800x600 for use with my TV. The TV is an old-fashioned 27"...

    DS3 bios reset at boot problem

    Oh, another thing I forgot to post is I'm running the 2.5 memory divider, so at 356fsb the memory operates at 890. (reading the overclocking guide from link above -- thanks!)

    DS3 bios reset at boot problem

    Sorry I forgot to post it, Bios version F10. Hmm, I'll try bumping the vcore up a bit. When I had increased it to 1.35v while initially oc'ing the setup it seemed like it just made the CPU run unnecessarily hot. BUT, I think the AS5 has cured now because idle temps are much lower than they...

    DS3 bios reset at boot problem

    I have a GA-965P-DS3 rev 2.0 motherboard, and have overclocked it to both 400x8 and 356x9. Currently, I'm running 356x9, and the system runs rock solid, sometimes for days on end, until I try a warm reboot (such as restart for software update changes). When the system reboots, it seems to...

    E6600 unstable

    What RAM are you using? I was able to OC mine stable to 890 using the 356x9 and 2.5 multiplier with the 4-4-4-12 manual settings with the new bios. What should the other RAM settings be in BIOS? I left all the others alone. I'm using the Corsair 6400-C4 memory though. Sandra benchmarks are...

    E6600 unstable

    Well, new power supply didn't solve the problem, but new bios did. I had been running F9 and just updated to F10 and am running 400x8 right now with 4-4-4-12 mem timings. I also lapped my Ninja Rev.B heatsink and reinstalled it with screws and springs instead of the intel push-pins and my...

    E6600 unstable

    I ran Memtest86+ for 9 hours overnight and no errors were found. This is at stock fsb and voltages, with +3V necessary on the DS3 mobo to run the memory at 4-4-4-12 timings manually - it is the C4 memory which requires 2.1V. The stock voltage on the motherboard is 1.8V and if left alone it...

    Thanks for the suggestion -- I'll run the test and post my results!

    E6600 unstable

    I decided to go ahead and order an Ultra XVS 700W power supply since I have a feeling that is what is holding this system back. Will repost with results if it works.

    E6600 with Scythe Ninja Plus - temps are almost in the 80s!

    Two links that may be of interest. First, like someone else already pointed out, the one photo shows your Ninja resting on the capacitors next to the CPU socket. My E6600/Ninja Plus Rev.B/DS3 did the same thing. I took a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel and removed part of the ninja lower...

    E6600 unstable

    Nada. Seems like I can boost everything and boot into Windows just fine, albeit with high idle temps, then I'll shut it down for a while and when I come back and turn it on it won't post, then it reboots with stock fsb and pci frequency. I notice a lot of you have higher wattage power supplies...

    E6600 unstable

    I'm going to bump the fsb up to 410 and see if that improves stability. I've read a few overclocking reviews for this board that mention instability from 3xx to 400 MHz. Will update with results tomorrow.

    E6600 unstable

    Well I bumped vcore up to 1.35V but my idle temps are around 45C so that's not so great. Running TAT for just a minute raises my load temps near 70C. I left the other voltages set at "normal." One weird thing -- TAT reports max frequency at 3600 MHz even though it shows current at 3200 MHz...
