Here are the settings for my current BIOS (Q9300 running at 3.0Ghz 7.5*400, FSB at 1600, RAM at 1600). what would you tweak? also, is it possible to use my other two sticks of RAM (all identical).

Have added notes above .Key in getting your 4 x1gb running together is (G)MCH OverVoltage Control,(1.25v): increase that to maybe +0.325v and see what the results are.

luck

SUPERSANKS

is the zaleman 9700 the best cooler i can install or is there something better. I have found that most if not all the cpu cooler sites have no listings of supported motherboards.

thanks

supershanks · #**435** 21-06-2008, 14:57

Think I'd personally go fior Thermalright Ultra Extreme or one of the HDT Coolers with a bolt thru mounting kit, to improve on the awful stock push pins. Good cooling & relative chep solution.

Zalman are good products but not quite up with the top performers.

fl4ian · #**436** 21-06-2008, 20:46

thanks for the tips, supershanks. what are the reasons behind these suggestions? what do they do?

for definitions best read BIOS Guide and Information & MotherBoard Intelligent Tweaker (MIT)

Collectively they should help stability. With Intel boards The Memory controller is in the Northbridge, so increasing voltage here in particular may enable running with 4x1gb . In that respect it's best to get 2x1GB running stable , then try adding the 2nd pair.

To test stability
see Overclocker's Tool Kit. & links to Prime95 & Memtest HCI.

Just in the process of doing a new build for someone and found the board had been revised.
Must admit it was only when I went to remove the Crazy Cool heatsink , that i noticed the difference :-

Then checked

Haven't seen any other changes, or a change log anywhere on Gigabytes site.
V1.1
5) The Motherboard (1of2)
6) The Motherboard (2of2)

v1.3
DDr3 Slots

Southbridge

PCI/PCI-E

that's the revision i just installed, looking at the 1.1 vs 1.3 i don't see whats changed do you?? I can say it runs my wolfdale 8500 and corsair ddr3 1800 at 450x7 solid. bios f5h came with f4.

supershanks · #**440** 25-06-2008, 19:18

Hi mate ,
No I can't see really see anything other than the crazy cool.
Nice to hear it's running well for you
