gutterz some great info in this thread if you got the time!

I personally would dump the triple channel action.

ya I plan on it soon as I get funds. As of rite now the workaround is dont hit the reset button lol power down with the power button it works fine.. I got the ram down to 7-7-7-21 1659mhz @505 fsb boots an runs at 5.3. The problem Im facing now is horrible vdroop. 1.70 to get 1,66 idle 1.64 load. Load Line calibration causes instability wont boot if it is on or it bsod as soon as i enter windows. Turn it off an its fine. Im looking for a vdroop pencil mod but all I can find is for the rampage maximus an rex2 an a bunch of dead links.

Be careful with the long bench sessions and the REX. Everytime I have spent hours benching the REX under extreme cold (LN2) the Fujitsu capacitor behind the socket blew. Each time it took the CPU with it. I am on my 4th REX and the CPU's lost were 1 - QX9650, and 3 - E8600. As far as I am concerned it is not if the cap will go it is when.

All my Asus board act weird with Line Load enabled above 1.65Vcore. It seems they are stable under load but show instability when booting or idle with LL enabled. I usually turn that off while benching.

Gutterz, please post up your bios template for us to look at. I bet we can play with some skews and get past this ram issue. I used to get it alot myself until I learned what skews my board liked. You got cpu clock skew, nb clock skew, and then one for each dimm slot. As the clocks and fsb get higher, you need to advance those skews just a touch.

Second, you are really gonna be better off with a nice set of 2x1gb ram. You will take alot of stress off the nb, and run tighter subs and PL to boot.

Keep pushing mate! Mine should come tomorrow or any other day this week!

Ill get them settings up soon as I have it fired up again.

Well all hell has broke loose an I dont know if its fixable an if it is idk if I could do the job.
I stripped the mobo of the stock HS an when that came off so did a 1R0 chip thingy lol. Located by the NB VR's :ohcrap:

The bad part is I seen it still stuck to the HS an I touched it an it fellsoft so I thought it was a pad of some sort. I get it all back together an it wouldnt fire. So I went over everything an pulled up a pic online an notice the problem. It wasnt a pad sigh :thumbdown:.

So is this fixable? The tangs are still their I just got to solder them to the chip again rite? or is it fubard? An did I realy screw up trying to fire it up? Do you think it would have killed the CPU? or not cause those are for the NB?

hey gutterz, you submitted this on the BOT right? I believe this is the same ones kal linked me through MSN the other day. Good job man. I never got to overclock a Socket 775 much, they seemed confusing to me. I stick to AMD and Socket 1366. I think I'm just good with setups that have IMC :laugh:

Ya thats submitted on the bot. But these were my last screen shots an they didnt save rite cause my thumb drive has an issue with XP lately. An now the board maybe dead hopefuly resurection will occur.
