In my experience bad chips will stop at 500-530 FSB mark, above 550 FSB you start to get good chips and the gold chips do 600 FSB (on ambient). FSB scales with PLL on ambient to +1.9V I believe. Core wise decent chips will do +4GHz on ambient for 32M IIRC. CB/CBB idk, but other 775 chips can have anything from -80 to fullpot and apparently it can be linked to FSB. (@ObscureParadox)

Sounds like the same issue I was having.

Great work!

Very nice, now stay away from 06. :P

Very nice. :D

Speedy!

I was having issues with 2GB g-die and 32M, so I mucked around with valid freq instead. SR MFR at 2V: 1786.1MHz https://valid.x86.fr/wsnx26 SR CFR at 2V: 1816.6MHz https://valid.x86.fr/pm8cry SR G-die at 2.4V: 1874.3MHz https://valid.x86.fr/brfr07 But the really funny thing is that the G-die does 1868MHz valid at 1.6V. XD So clearly I'm IMC limited. As it seems SR G-die is insanely light on the IMC I had some fun with 32M as well (all air). Tbh this was faster than expected: And this was as high as I could get to train with similar timings:

Bring back the Haswell good times with proper memory OC subzero.

I checked with Dinos via PM and he talked to HiCookie and the result was that they both said the issue was for Z87 and was fixed on Z97 (I guess not ). So I didn't bother checking further, until now. XD Currently seeing what g-die does on this board.

Big necro here, but I managed to fix my Z97X Soc Force LN2 that was stuck at a POST code of 20 with basically all ram (except Patriot 2500C9 for some reason). There is a fuse at the bottom of the left DIMM slot and I was getting weird resistance readings across it (e.g. not ~0 Ohms), so I shorted it with some solder and then my board started working normally. Obviously; this worked with my board, but there is no guarantee it will work with yours and I am not responisble if you set fire to everything. Fuse location: Proof of life:

Great JC! No bug this time, haha. ;)

Nice

I would say I'm suprised, but I'm not...

Nice Tagg. :D You actually at -95C? Mine had CBB at around -80C. :(

Anyone figured out why the SB keep dying? Anything we can do to stop it like more filtering caps?

Huh, a decent 2009 chip.

Got there eventually. :D

Here is some info from my latest session to try and fix my boards. Resistances of main voltage rails measured: At these points: I then removed all of the Fujitsu capacitors as most of them appeared to be bad, giving me these resistances: Unfortunately boards 1, 2 & 4 were still having issues, so I checked the voltages as well: I then checked the post codes and board 1 has d5 and board 2 has d4 - this is with various memory tried in each ram slot. For board 4 if I remove the EPS 8-pin the board will turn on, so clearly there is an issue there but the general resistances seem okay. Also, I tried a working BIOS chip from board 3 in each of the other boards, however I still got the same behaviour. All in all no progress and still 3 dead boards, but maybe someone finds something useful in this info.

Slacker, moar clocks needed. :P

Alllll da mods!

Nice work!

Le sigh... ;(

Come on people, ambient = room ambient. Not external ambient - that doesn't make any sense. No-one will voluntarily have a -20C room which they have to live in.

Please close, will open a new thread in the future.
