Hi
Just about to buy this board and the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
I notice that a couple on here have these two, any problems with this hs hitting the nb hs ?
If so is how did you get round this ?
Cheers

I will tell you as soon as I get my hands on the Q6600.
I have read intensively about having the MEM and CPU running 1:1 ratio, but I have not found a deep explanation of the particular advantages and disadvantages of running at no standard ratios, like 2.x or 3.x. Do you know hot this affects performance? I have read somewhere people saying that running it at non 1:1 ratio did not affect performances. Others say it does
Any light on this subject?

Specs in sig.
Ive had this board for a while and its been real solid, best board Ive had.
Its benched well at 3.6GHz (400 x 9) and ran everyday at 3.2GHz. This was with 2GB of Corsair XMS2 PC6400 running 1:1 @ 400 x 8
Im a gamer and have been noticing slowdowns loading/unloading games, as moving to 2GB improved my BF2 experience way back when, I thought moving to 4GB would do the same. Since I run Vista64 this seems logical.
Anyhoo, it simply refuses to co-operate with me![]()
After some tracing and troubleshooting I have ended up with isolating one thing.
Put simply, I can set everything to what I know is safe/not required, but as soon as I change HOST CLOCK CONTROL from disabled to enabled, it runs the memory check and reboots to disabled etc.
Which kinda sucks when I want to OC!
Running now at 2.4GHz is fine, testing shows all clear.
Dimm is 2.1v
4-4-4-12 or 5-5-5-18
All sticks same manufacture date.
Bios F6
All tweaking aside, the fact I cant enable OC is a mystery, I saw early on in the thread that there may be an issue with the DDR2/DDR3 slots.
Can anyone verify this as I have seen a few peeps running 4GB DDR OC.
Cheers!

If I understand your question correctly you are not getting your OC anymore after you put in an addition 2gigs (4 total) of ram? If so, 4 gigs are harder to OC. I would try upping your (g)mch +.1v and try again. Also, did you know this board overvolts the ram? If your Corsair ram requires 2.1v to run properly you need to set the ddr2/ddr3 overvoltage to +.2v. This will get you 2.12v.
Also, were you ever able to get your OC with the F6 bios before? What bios were you running when you got your OC?

Quick fiddle.
Set MCH to +.1v
Set speed to 533 (1:1)
Set timing to 5-5-5-18
boots ok.
restart
select enable on clock control, dont adjust, reboot = fail.
