Right here is the crack guys. Generally im fairly apt with machines but this one has really stumped me.
I Have just built two new core 2 machines one for me and one for my old man and old dear.
Mine :
Intel E6400
Asus P5W DH Deluxe ( 1101 bios)
1gb Corsair XMS2 TWINX PC6400-C5
XFX 7900GT Factory clocked at 520 / 1500
SB XFi Xmusic
WD 250gb HDD
WD 120gb HDD
WD 78gb Raptor HDD
OCZ 480w power supply.
Parents :
Intel E6300
Gigbyte GA 965P-DS3
1gb Corsair XMS2 TWINX PC5400-C4
WD 160gb HDD
ASUS 7300 GS
Enermax 450w psu
Ok right first up i have not had one issue with the E6300 machine but the E6400 machine has had no end of trouble.
Issues with E6400 machine.
1. I cannot manualy change the FSB in single mhz steps but i can using an "Overclocking Profile" were i can get it too 2.67 Ghz
2. The XFX 7900 GT has artifacts only in 3dmark06 on the "Deep Freeze" test with a score of 5097 ( 4241 with CPU at stock ) with the CPU @ 2.67 . Yet when i put it in the E6300 machine it has no artifacts and hits 5487 with the cpu clocked at 2.1 (same as the E6400 stock) with the PC6400 ram.
I have used all the latest drivers and bios updates.
This is an huge issue as it seems that it is motherboard.
Other Notes
E6400 2.67ghz @ 43c
ASUS P5W DH Deluxe Motherboard @ 52c
Is there anything that i can do ?
