E6600 + Asus P5W DH Deluxe Adventures

eva2000, how much FSB with multiplier 7 ?
I'm trying with aircooling and 458FSB SP8M @ 1.700V measured from board

[Dani]

1.750V 465MHz SP8M

[arrakys]

flagged. very nice post

[Dani]

471MHz SP8M @ 1.750Vmch

Wow Eva, good read!

My vga is dead, so i haven't had the opportunity to test my E6600/p5wdh/D9GMH rig.
So lot's of new and good info here for me! This will defenitly give me a nice start once i start testing my stuff

And is there anyway to get more vdimm? So you could run like 9x449 4:5
It seems you can't run both max. cpu and ram clocks.

No probs that's what this thread is here for vdimm you could do pencil mod but i prefer to keep things at stock for now heh.

Dani haven't tried below 8x heh and anyway playing with a new cpu now

10x360fsb = 3600Mhz at 1.4v bios = 1.35v PC Probe II

vCore = 1.4
vFSB = 1.2v
vDimm = 2.15v
vMCH = 1.55v
vICH = AUTO
Performance mode = Standard



10x380fsb = 3800Mhz at 1.475v bios = 1.44v PC Probe II

vCore = 1.475
vFSB = 1.2v
vDimm = 2.15v
vMCH = 1.55v
vICH = AUTO
Performance mode = Standard

Nice one, what is the revision code of this board Eva, and is this board in stores or do we have to wait ?

edit , well, it`revision rev. 1.02G , see http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=112614

Do all the Rev. 1.02G have that high of VMCH enabled? That's the revision I have but I don't have my conroe yet x.x I'm so damn excited to plug this thing in just to find that out :P

Edit: I did read that thread, too.. It wasn't really clear that Rev.102G have 1.85VMCH.

[eva2000]

Nope 1.02g some have 1.65v and some 1.85v mch.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe + Asus P5W DH Deluxe [*] In bios monitoring section it can momentarily freeze or hang on you, no one knows why but if you wait a tad longer it will function fine and no probs. Just another issue to get use to.

this is an Asus app we are talking about. We should not have to "get used to it". They should FIX IT. Is is painfully slow even on the fastest system and like you said the readings are all over the place. Come on Asus, get on the ball and give us a little monitoring app that actually works, and while you are at it, loose the cutsey (ugly), stupid, bloated interface of both ai and pcProbe2. yuck . . .

That rant asside, this is the most informative thread I have read here in a long time. Kudos!! and thanks!

It sounds like watercooling the chipset may not be worth the trouble as compared to just using a third party chipset cooler with a fan. By the way, I've been running at 1.85v on the chipset and temps really haven't been really all that bad with a heatpipe style chipset cooler. Mostly low 40's I would say.

[eva2000]

could be a bad chipset mount by me hehe won't know until i do a remount later

as to monitoring are we talking about same thing ? i'm talking about bios not windows apps like AI Booster/PC Probe2

No I was referring to your comment about aibooster or pcprobe apps that just don't work right. Did the waterblock for the chipset come with those little mounting hooks?

[eva2000]

oh that... well i never said to get use to it for ai booster/pc probe 2 issues... i was referring to bios monitoring temp freeze

the hook threads are optional extras you order with radiical chipset block you will need to order them in addition to the chipset block IIRC AUD$5 extra = US$3.75-4.00 extra... you normally need to bend them yourself to suit your board's hooks but i asked if they could bend them for me as they look like they're fit for me heh

[gundamit]

Soooo .... did you ever check your northbridge waterblock mount? Was it good?

[eva2000]

well i remounted it and got an even lower max fsb by around 4fsb at each vMCH voltage lol

remounted again and got slightly better than 2nd mount... but yes a good mount means better fsb... i'm going for a 4th mount soon since i'm trying this P5W DH on phase http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=114486

[eva2000]

Interesting when setting up my phase change gear and transporting the chipset cooling loop over to the new position, I noticed the MCP350 pump outlet barb tubing had been kinked for a while now as you can see the tubing near the outlet barb had memory effect of a collapsed tubing... maybe this is a possible reason why i didn't gain much in max fsb on water cooled chipset ??

[Omarko]

hey eva ... can you post a pic of the Extreme spirit II on your chipset ? did you just cut off the pipe or if not, how are you cooling the mofsets near the cpu socket ??? I am planning to add some additional cooling to my NB chipset ...

thanks !!!
