Calling all Crosshair III owners

LMAO!!!! you serious?
I thought doing 250+ was a sweet thing compared to what im used to and 300!!! (faints)

To be completely honest, clocking HTT does not give signifigant benefits. 50% overclock might get 1-3% improvement, and that has more to do with being able to max NB speed than anything else it, or so it seems. I start getting USB isses @ 325, which requires a multi-drop to fix.

Volts adjust on auto here...HTT, multi, memory volts(affects NB volts), will cause increases. Strange it doesn't for erocker.

CPU voltage doesn't ramp up on AUTO. It stays at stock settings. You aren't going to be stable.

It does ramp up on auto when I use the multi like x19...x20 ect.... Mabey its just the board?

 

[fullinfusion]

I can set the multi to x18 and leave every thing else alone.... Its stable but the cpu volts ramp up to 1.410v

shit I was getting windows product key or something like that error when I up the multi and had cpu volts set 1.5+ volts..... so far It's stable....

Im going to run Wprime 32m and see if it makes the run..... any body think it will make it?

 

[fullinfusion]

Cpu-z got a mark of approval hehe.... dam I love this mobo
and all this at
cpu 32c
sb 45c
nb 48c
mb 28c

Now this is fucked!!! check out the cpu voltage and bus speed!

Cpu volts are on auto.... everything is on auto.... I just wanted to see how high I can push the Bus speed.... WOW!!! and only at 1.35v
wth? :shadedshu

Im just playing around on the net and haven't ran any stress tests yet...

HOLY ****!!!!!!! That's....I don't even have words for what I've seen! I'd try that, but I don't want to hurt my feelings when I fail with epic proportions. I've had the bus speed up to 372Mhz on my board (AM2+ M3A32-MVP) before I stopped trying to go higher (ran out of low multipliers lol, how crazy is that) but the voltage for you to hit 4Ghz just hurts my head trying to think about it!

Full + Crosshair III + PII 965 C3 --->

It's time for me to buy that board....anybody wanna buy an AM2+ super board.

Kei I never with any board could hit 250 bus let alone be stable! and Im not sure what you mean by

Quoted by you.... Full + Crosshair III + PII 965 C3----- Im only using a 955 C2 chip bro hehe

 

[fullinfusion]

Well I was waiting for a response if the rig could at least run Wprime 32m.... ha! (feeling dizzy)
it did!!!
sorry if im sounding like a total noOb but this is beyond what I thought could happen!

 

[fullinfusion]

I decided to try upping the NB Frequency.... and post a pic of AOD with current volts....
It's weird cuz when I went to the 1105 bios and didn't have any luck at all... (was worse) and flashed back to the latest 1204 bios..... that's when things started to favor me... mabey a not so good flash? I don't know but all I know is now things are working the way I expected them to run

Hey bud, could you please just use the edit feature to add to a current post. Multiple posting is frowned upon.

 

[Kantastic]

umm not sure what your going on about but ok bud

Post #33, #34, and #35 can all have been done with an edit. I double post if I can't avoid it sometimes but I usually delete the previous post.

My bad.... Im sorry to all... I should know better.. It wont happen again

will look for some pics of my setup shortly i'm back in town for a bit so i have all my parts in front of me playing with some dualies and a pair of AMD boards

still waiting for your pic's CD and also Assassin with some bios shots

Also what are the OPT temp plugs on the mobo for?
I know it's to sense temp but what temp? and what device does one need to plug into it to make it work?

You plug ASUS thermal probes in there (or other compatible thermal probes I suppose) and they can control the duty cycle of the "Opt" fan headers (3 of them).

So that's only for extreme clockers?
Thanks for the info man

will pop some pics up tomorrow after me and freaksavior clock up my board will get you some BIOS shots of it to

Nice and cant wait, thank you

Sorry i didnt post any bios pics, so i dl Overdrive and here are SS. Been trying to hit 3k on the NB but i cant get into the OS with it that high so i have to use 2800. same goes with the clock speed, 4.1ghz is stable @ 1.5v but 4.2 is a no go even with 1.55v nothing.

Planning on doing a dice session on friday, going to try to break 30K in 06 with x2 5770 in CF

thanks bro.... at least I have something to work with

This SupremeFX X-Fi card that came with this mobo, is there a updated driver for it?

I went to the web site but didn't see any options for the mobo card driver.

Anybody know?

I don't know, but I sure hope so. how is the card, any good?
