dogin Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Asus set-up put ram frequency at 534.3 Mhz 1335.8 rate freq) and FSB:Dram 5:8 and lats at 5-5-5-18 T2 according to CPU-Z. CPU E6850 shows set at multi 6 for a core speed of 2.0 (s/b 3.0) in CPU-Z This is with 4 1gig sticks of TWIN2X2048-10000C5DF. Where is a good start point to get at least back to the default fsb?????? Suggested timmings, Volts etc. Thanks much. The one good thing is the system posted and loaded Vista 64 after a few difficulties and all 4 gigs were recognized. Still have a raid setup issue to resolve after get the system up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 5, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 5, 2007 Based on your post, the system is actually running slightly above the default FSB, 1335.8 vs default 1333. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogin Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Based on your post, the system is actually running slightly above the default FSB, 1335.8 vs default 1333. Yeah but it evidently dropped the multiplier on the CPU and the FSB DRAM is set at 5:8. I guess what I am trying to say is I need to know a good starting point for the ram set-up to get the CPU running at 3.0 GHz so I can start the OC process? OK now I know I am really dumb. The 6 multiplier must be the Intel Stepping feature to save power. I am new to Intel as have been using AMD on my gaming machines. Guess I have a lot to learn with this set-up. Took of the steping control so now ready to start the OC process. Still would like to know a start point and what to do about the 5:8 FSB DRAM????

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 6, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 6, 2007 If you are OCing I would suggest that you disable the EIST and Speedstep energy and thermal management features on the CPU. This will prevent these features from making changes to the system while it is at idle. As far as the OCing goes many of the QX CPUs will run 400 to 500+ on the FSB with proper voltage and cooling and depending on the multi you are running. I'll place this post in the ENTHUSIAST section for OCing topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogin Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Thanks I really appreciate it. This board has so many setting options its mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
