@chienbleu - what is your highest FSB reached?

Quick test for you this morning: 6x402 NB 1.50V ok
No boot @ FSB 425 with my settings.

[s_noopy]

Ok. I've tried:
multi: 6x
FSB: 402
VTT: 1.31V
NB everywhere: 1.43-1.58V
LTD Bus: 3x/5x
CPU features: all Disabled

It boots, it starts loading windows. It freezes when loading or bluescreens when going to login. I have no idea what I do wrong..

PCIex 101? 1.50v cpu?

My bios screens here @ 3.0 GHz: http://www.pcinpact.com/forum/index....owtopic=107153

Same settings @ FSB 402, excepted Vcore and NB @ 1.50v.

It helps?

Very sorry for spamming, but necessary to post URLs

Yes, PCI-E 101MHz, CPU does 3GHz @ 1.375V Prime Stable, and here it should do 2.4GHz without a single moan.

Meatbix> tryed PCIex @ 101?

Yes, tried that, and practically everything else. Tried the BSEL mod too (shorting a couple of pins on the CPU t otry to make it detect as 1066 FSB instead of 800) but that had zero effect (still detected as 800) so that's either no good or I didn't do it properly. Might investigate that one further.

@Meatbix - afaik 650i recognizes CPU by a microcode and shorting BSELs will not work. 965 is older chipset and that trick does work. It's not 100% sure, but i'm feel quite confident in that matter.

Okay, it seems like it's my turn...

Started my machine last night and it locked-up starting Windows. After a couple of reboots, all causing lock-ups. I ended up backing the FSB down to 333 MHz, keeping everything else the same, and all was right in the world again.

I made no changes and it had be running stable for a couple of days. It was early evening, so the room temp wasn't a factor. In fact my temps have been high 30's at idle, mid to high 40's during gaming and low to mid-50's during stress testing.

I know it isn't much of a drop, but I was planning on going higher in the future.

Any suggestions?

Bests...

That would make sense. I definitely had the right pins shorted and made sure I used pretty thick traces but still to no effect.

Hi folks,

Stumbled upon this thread while looking for issues with the fp-in9 sli. Nice thread with lots of good info/ updates.

I had general stability issues even @ stock. I could be playing music, watching a film or gaming and my system would suddenly reboot.

After reading every page I downloaded the Beta 13 BIOS and manually set some voltages and values, now my system seems to be a lot more stable.

I ran orthos overnight without issues and ran 3d'05 for X10 loops without issue.

I would just like to say thanks to everyone hear, before I found this thread I thought I was going to have to get another mobo.

Thanks again.

Gerry.
