Last picture, getting my +-4 hours of sleep

The board is acting really weird though. Been strugling to get it booting, finnaly found out that the S3 Trio card was causing the problem, everything seems to be fine with the 7950GT plugged in. Memory was booting at 2,3V also after clear CMOS, not exaclty the thing you want either. Then when I reset the mobo it didn't boot, I first had to power off the whole system first.
The boot screen showed my E6600 at 400*6, though I didn't even take a look inside the BIOS.
BIOS version (M606C_14.A02 ) should be safe: http://forum.abit-usa.com/showthread...=117944&page=4

Next, I played a bit with the Vmods, they are set to their 'working area'. Dunno how to explain in English, but what I mean is that when you turn them 2/3 times you will see the voltage changing. Those 100k trimmers are really big, when I started turning them I had to do like 10 rounds before I saw anything changing on my voltmeter. Vcore mod was not working, I desolderd it again but I give it another shot tomorrow afternoon when I get back home.
I might throw in my CPU waterblock and have some fun

This board can do at least 460 FSB

Is it possible that the board can't do dual channel? Or are there some bugs known with dual channel TEAMGROUP DDR800?

easypanic · 22nd January 2007, 17:12

Some memory sticks are causing trouble, yes :s.

geoffrey · 22nd January 2007, 17:35

Lol, I got it booting in dual channel some minutes ago. Did some benches but performance was worse then when going single channel. After a few reboots I got that weird error again ('20' is showed on the digits), time to go single channel again I guess.

VCPU mod working also, but remember setting a certain voltage in BIOS before tweaking anything. VDIMM overvolts 0,35V, the lowest value in BIOS (1.75V) gives me 2.1V on the DDR RAM. I just found out my RAM can take up to 2,8V

I guess it's ready for pickup easypanic

no pickup today or tomorrow, very ill ;(.

some guys on XS had the same 20 error...

You're have to be one lucky man, Easypanic
