Almost everything is on optimal defaults except the following settings: (from memory, so forgive some minor inacuracies) Async FSB: 300 PCI-e: 111 PCI: 33.4 Virtualisation tech: Enabled Thermal throttling (1.80c bios): Enabled (a very nice temp saving feature that steps down the...

Aeros: Yeah.. think your missing your PCI-e bus. On some setups, system stability is lost when the pci-e bus is not set correctly for the FSB. As a guideline the FSB/PCI-e = 2.66 aprox. follow that forumla and see if it improves things a bit. so.. to work out the optimal PCI-e...

Thanks Mr Vain... and I should say a thankyou to the person who copied my question over to the other forum almost word for word :P (oh no wait... thats you!) Now all I need is an application to work with speedstep (got the latest 1.80c modded bios on with no issues - Thermal throttle works...

OK, I'm having a bit of trouble finding the voltage measure points for the Vagp and Vtt pencil mods. The pics on the thread dont show where you put BOTH probes. Could someone enlighten me...?

Is your 2D overclocked too??? If you've overclocked the chip accross all profiles then you could very well get alot of issues on the 2D. I've noticed that the 1st thing to always go on my card as I push the GPU and Mem up is the 2D, always 2D artifacting way before I get 3D artifacts...

That wont even work for me, My PCI-e must be proportional to my FSB otherwise I get the same graphics lockups with my pci-e card. I've disabled the down pipeline as I read that this can help prevent stalling but that didnt help. My system is running well at FSB 300 PCI-e 111, cant seem to...

Sounds alot like one of the problems I had. I got a palit 7600GT and was able to replicate your problem Maffer. in ASYNC mode this mobo runs the risk of loosing sync between the cpu and your pci-e card. In Vista this will present itself as the Driver resetting ocasionally, in XP this...

28 - 38c on stock HSF?? How on earth did you manage that?? Are you sure your not reading the temps of your northbridge? Core2 temps appear as Core0 and Core1. If this is right please share your secret!!

Winbond, Intel core ... Thats all i can say really. Not sure what compiles the readings but they are taken but since there are several sensors on this board that will be detected you could get a variation if your apps are reading different ones. Make sure your applications are reading the...

Does anyone have a rough guide to what voltages would be required to reach this boards max clocks? I think it would be a nice idea to have a compiled list of tested stable voltages and the results of those mods.

I have my CPU overclock to 290FSB at 35C idle. Try the Akasa Blue Evo, at about £30 - £35 its an awsome cooler if you have the space for it. almost silent at low speeds it has 6 liquid filled heatpipes and a direct contact polished pure copper base with a variable speed controler for...

In reply to the post from the 4coredual thread, Fanless cards are a nice idea, but your always going to have to settle for more case cooling or a hotter card. I mentioned the Zalman cooler because its a silent fan with a pure copper heatsink, you could still have ur silent pc, with quieter...

70C is a bit excessive for idle temp. You might want to check your airflow throughout the case to make sure the card is receiving enough cool air, Tie up your cables, install in intake (front) and exhaust (back) fan, 120mm is best since you'll get max flow for min noise. You might...

I had a similar problem, pin config is a 3 pin plug on my case (akasa eclipse 62) but the mobo uses a 2 pin, simply move the connector to the center of ur 3 pin plug and overhang the end of the connectors. Example: Motherboard Header Pins:.............O.....O Original...
