Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
For those interested I've posted on this InsanelyMac with links to my CMOS backup that allow me to run at 3.81GHz with a E7200 CPU and GeForce 8600GT 512MB OC as well as the 604 BIOS and some more.
Another observation i had;
I ran OCCT for 1 hour in similar config that produce a very similar speed and it seem that higher Ratio/lower FSB produce less heat then the opposite?
At the Ratio 8.5/FSB 415/VCORE 1.325 I was getting much higher temperature all over,
while at Ratio 9.5/FSB...
Anyone know what CPUID Hardware Monitor mean by VIN1/VIN3/AVCC on this mobo?
Mine, under stress goes down a little then after few minutes start going up
VIN1 started at 1.62, now/max at 1.67
VIN1 started at 1.62, now/max at 1.68
AVCC started at 3.38 now at 3.36
That is with Ration...
IsLNdbOi ; Actually in version 604 it allow you to HotPlug SATA drives, which could be very nice if you happend to have eSata drives...
I have not tested it yet with my external drive, but have intentions to do so this weekend.
Ok, last night i try a different approach based on gwai_lo suggestions.
I reduced the Ratio to minimum (6) and started with FSB 500 (no boot), then down until i got to 450 which allowed me to boot to the BIOS. But the memtest86 reported plenty errors on my memory, so I upped the voltage to...
Ok, some more developments here.
I reduced the Ratio to 8 and raised the FSB until the memtest86 start failing by increment of 25. well, 425 and failing, keeping as much on auto as possible.
Currently testing FSB 415, Strap 333, Ratio 8 and seem to be going well, I'll let it run overnight...
Did the pencil mod again and still have some drops from 1.384 to 1.368 during OCCT.
Is that acceptable?
I had to use a HB as that is the only kind available on the island.
I have noticed that settings for the E7200 are a bit different as this CPU allow for very high Ratio. maybe the same with yours i don't know, but still worth to give it a try.
As for the pencil mod, I have done it, but since i added some direct fan i might have to redo it again??
I also...
If my system is not stable with your settings, what would you recommend to raise first?
PLL/VCORE/FSB/???
or reduce my DDR2 which is very stable now, ran memtest86 and reported good @2.20 volts.
Too bad I dont have a thermometer in the room, but mine must be in the similar range, at night...
Ok, that is one difference we have, mine is not in a A/C room, (ambient about 30C during the day).
How did you come up with those voltages?
PLL, FSB Term. NB, SB, Ref...??
And especially what is the link between them?
I had changed mine kinda random and that did not do any good, so maybe I...
Jakalwarrior,
How long did you run ORTHOS for? 5 minutes is certainly not enough to confirm if your settings are stable or not. Has to run for at least 1h to have a decent idea and at least 4h to be consider safe, IMOO
I ran mine for over 6 hours with those settings above, without errors...
Hi guys,
I have that board too and was experimenting with OC the last few days. I've been having some weird issues. at FSB 400 I need to raise the VCORE to 1.415 to get it stable (CPU E7200). anything lower will or reboot the machine or simply fail all tests.
If I raise the FSB anything over...
Guy's can you share more informations on all your BIOS settings and mobo?
I have achieve 3.81GHz on my P5E-VM HDMI (Bios 506 and 604) but was required to raise the VCORE at 1.415V to have full stability... (see My post on TechPowerUp I have put all the tests I have done so far.
I can...
