Just check the SPD info for the XMP memory profile, it should be available in the EFI and in CPU-Z

Athlon 64 and Conroe/Kentsfield for their architecture advancements. Those are the ones that stick out in my mind

As far as I know its not possible to keep the overclocked frequency all the time, I have the pro board and haven't been able to do it. Its not really necessary though, the ramp up is very intelligent and instant as soon as load appears. You're fine with the frequency at 350khz, set your...

Corsair XMS3 2x4GB 9-9-9-24-1T @ 1.5v. Other specs in my sig. It uses the same chips as the vengeance RAM, just doesn't have the pointless heatsink

It should be fine, there are reports of people running the engineering samples at 1.45v and over for months with no problems. Disabling C1 C3 and C6 doesn't actually make it idle at the overclocked frequency btw, it just doesn't report that its idling at 1.6ghz to the OS anymore. CPU-Z shows...

Last I heard it was supposed to be more like 20%, and even that is hard to believe. Remember its just a die shrink, not a new microarchitecture. As for the op, I'm not sure you being an engineer or an old person qualifies you to guess at whether or not Intel is lying.

I saw a difference from stock turbo (3.7ghz) to 5.0 ghz when streaming with FMLE and playing some games, but 4.4~ is probably more than fine for that as well. It does speed up video encoding though

I was running my overclock with the PLL at 1.80625 because of a recommendation from someone, but when I turned it back to 1.8 (the default) its still stable and runs about 3c cooler under small FFT load

Actually I meant you need a new version because it seemed like it was reading the voltage wrong. The downclocking is because of speedstep

I'm running a P8P67 pro with a 2500k at 5ghz, with the voltage set as 1.36v. I have speedstep off but the cpu still idles at 1.6ghz, then ramps up to 5ghz under load, is this working as intended? From your write up it makes it seem like disabling enhanced speedstep and speedstep would make it...

You need to get a new version of CPU-Z

I think generally extra bandwidth is better than tighter timings, but I'm pretty sure the performance benefit isn't something you'll notice or even care about, apart from synthetic benchmarks (maybe for video encoding)

2500k @ 5ghz, 1.36v in the EFI. Thermaltake Frio with both fans on low http://i.imgur.com/S40MC.jpg

My configuration is nearly identical to yours, except I have 1 c300 and 2 F3s, with no RAID arrays, and I have no issues. Did you try disabling the RAID on the 2 F3s?

I think an EFI update will fix your sleep issue, as I believe PLL overvoltage is recommended. Also when I had speedfan 4.42 it wasn't reading the temps correctly for my 2500k on a P8P67 pro, I had to get the 4.43 beta. Or just use CoreTemp, RealTemp etc, I know for sure CoreTemp reads it correctly

It doesn't really 'require' all three pins per se. You can just hook up the DC + and - (red and black usually) cables and the fan will run at full speed all the time. The third cable sends the tach signal, but you don't have to hook it up to anything One of these should work

the seasonic 600w only has one fan. It should be facing toward an open area so that heat can be exhausted from the psu. The v1000 has a perfed bottom, yeah? So mount it with the fan facing down

regarding controlling the fan via speedfan, try this 1) go to options 2) in the advanced tab, select IT8712F (thats what its called on my a8n-sli deluxe) or whatever the first entry is 3) change the pwm 1 mode from SmartGuardian (bios controlled) to Software controlled. This should allow...

i use arcticlean coupled with a paper towel. Got the arcticlean off ebay. Stuff works great, better than 99% isopropyl

Well, afaik the compatibility issue x-fi has is with the nforce4 chipset, not any particular mobo When i got mine (xtrememusic) my comp wouldn't even boot with it (asus a8n-sli deluxe). Creative are aware of the problem, so I sent it back and then sent me a different version of the card...

Take a look at the rubber mountings for the fan, make sure they're all clipped on. Mine tend to get loose anytime I do anything in that general area (change ram etc...), and that does affect the noise

my theory is as follows: it takes money to design a good cooler, and the fancier they make it, the more the add in partners are going to charge people for it. So its in their best interest to make the stock cooler the most horribly rancid thing on earth that is still able to cool the card...

I think he means the stock copper one ^ I'm fairly certain 754 and 939 share a retention module, so it should fit fine

I'd go with the freezer 64 pro Very easy to install (5 mins) and the cooling performance is astounding I have my X2 3800+ running at 2.6ghz @ 1.45v, and it gets to about 47c under heavy load When I was running it at the stock speed (2ghz), it didn't even need to spin up fan. It kept it...

The 4000 does mean its faster It means that they've tested it to run at 250mhz (500 effective) DDR400 runs at 200mhz Go for the DDR500 kit, you'll be able to overclock more

Hey man, just a joke. Hence all the :p 's

Yeah. Sure. Just keep telling yourself that :p ;)

Makes qualified troubleshooters of us all ;)

Here's the stop code info: Sounds like your best bet would to be update the BIOS to the newest version. You say you've checked the RAM, so if the BIOS flash doesn't solve it, its prob a driver issue, so do a clean install and install drivers cautiously to isolate which one is causing the...

Which one are you using? Deluxe and premium use the same BIOS I believe...

kinda sounds like you might have plugged a usb lead into a firewire header (or vice versa) these have power pins in different places, and I think they use different lines as well (12v and 5v), so this could have blown a fuse

From my experience, the BIOS tends to go berserk with a cpu problem (constant beeping), and with video problems tends to beep 3 or five times That being said hope doesn't tend to work for me ;) Since you don't have spares, take it to a shop, and have them swap those things out. Only...

well, by the looks of the A64 OC database, people have been hitting 2.6ghz at about 1.52v Depends on your specific proc though (week+stepping)

A 'feature' of AMDs procs is the on die memory controller. Consequently a lot of memory issues are actually cpu issues. I see you've sent the sticks back, but when you get your new ones, I suggest you try playing with your CPU voltage a little. Having it set to [Auto] isn't really the best...

if you're using a 64 bit OS, everything should work apart from the 1T. With that board, I'm pretty sure your stuck running it at 2T If you have a 32 bit OS, and are using some PCI devices, they will 'steal' some of your memory edit: a much better explanation here

you should take a look at that saitek 1200dpi mouse. It has a very interesting and comfortable shape

Well some cases are better suited to dissipating heat (antec p180) And heat has to do with noise, so yeah, a case can be 'quiet' If a case is well designed air-flow wise, then you won't need to run your fans as fast, and you get less noise

Is the controller enabled in the BIOS?

also, the intel 975x chipset supports crossfire in a perfect world, it would support sli as well, if nvidia felt like being decent human beings but don't hold your breath for that one

its like absolute0 said, all amd64's are the same size, and the ac freezer 64 pro can cool all of them the base of the cooler is slightly smaller than the chip yes, but it fits over the most crucial part, the dies
