i'd execute the bios update, system reboots, and then flashes firmware.

after the firmware update it reboots and hangs before even seeing the MS Windows boot screen. Nothing is shown it's all black.

So last night I upgraded to 2618 with the BX97520J.86A.2618.EB.EXE file. So windows shuts down, the BIOS is updated, but on the reboot it hangs and I have to turn it off, change the jumper, reset the BIOS settings, save them, turn off the system, return the jumper, and then reboot in order to arrive...

I actually have an ATI X1950PRO 256MB PCI-e. Not sure if I should keep my 975XBX2 or go EVGA-680i

and then, of those combinations which is better under Vista Ultimate.

thanks for the help everybody.

does anyone know where I can get a copy of CPU-Z 1.38 or something earlier than 1.39?

I've disabled C1E, EIST, and ncreased CPU voltage to 1.35, and still when I boot up CPU-Z tells me



what is going on?

Actually not really. I'm still at 1.6Ghz. I disabled C1E from the BIOS, what is C1E anyway?

SWEET! +rep to you friend!

Problem solved. I didn't know CE1 was speedstep!

LOL

I was testing several processors and began to think they were all broken. ROFL it's 3am here now.

sorry forum peeps I hit post new topic instead of reply - didn't mean to.

not a stupid question. I don't think I have it on because I don't remember there being any mention of it.

Although it does look like it, when I multitask I see the speed jump.

I've tried installing, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. etc. and I always get this message with the Intel Desktop Control Center.

Why does this keep happening?

So I took my E6700(ES) out to test another E6700(ES) and since both are now showing up with smaller multipliers. The multiplier is 6 instead of 10. Even with the processor that worked I can't get it back to 2.66Ghz (multiplier by 10). But it's weird. CPU-Z tells me 1.6Ghz while Windows "My Comp...

hell... all voltages... I have the same mobo and Corsair XMS2 PC2-8500 I should be able to do that too!

my proc is an E6700 though...

I just updated my DX975XBX2 / X6800 combo with BIOS 2618 and no issues. After i started the install it hung for a long time before it finished and I was worried at first. Didn't have to re-install anything when it came to drivers. I'm using an X1950XTX graphics card and my resolution remained 1600x...

Has anyone constructed this kind of beast? I just got a free copy of Vista Ultimate and am considering the migration. Whats the word?

How'bout some 3D Mark 06 scores?

Do you think it's worth it to go through the trouble of returning this mobo and getting a 680i ? The problem is that Intel's BIOS is unlike what I"m used to and I've had a laptop for the past year so I'm rusty tweaking desktops. Currently my settings are 200 Mhz 667Mhz 4 4 4 12 and it results ...

I would get an Intel Core 2 Duo - this may require a motherboard and memory upgrade depending on your configuration however.

wow thats a great price! is it difficult to install? what are your thoughts on the new thermaltake that is almost exactly like it?

also, I have a similar setup: xbx2, c2d6700 - what settings did you use to get that overclock?

I'm definitely in. XFX is great - they also have a lifetime warranty no?

I got one sitting here and if you are willing to take some pictures and post your results up here on the forums I'll send it to you the Accelero X2 free of charge.

If you want to go more in-depth on it I'd be willing to post your results on the main page.

Is this still valid?
