sorry you may of done and i have missed it, will recheck now.
edit
yes you did 2 pages back, my bad.
what have you got your ram running 1t or 2t?
make sure its 2 unless you spend time playing with your rams timings and volts.
also could be vdroop under real heavy load, give cpu another notch up on the volts see i that works.
mine will boot with 1.32v but needs 1.34 to combat the vdroop in orthos' ftt test.

2T, and 1.35V with the +100mV offset, measures out at 1.42V.

does it need the +100? that works out at your giving it 1.45v mine doesnt need that to hit 3.3ghz.
run orthos and watch your vcore to see how much it drops under full load, this is what i did to find out how much i realy needed and how much i needed to give it to keep above that level.
edit
only thing i can think thats making you crash is you nb, i had a few unexplaind crashes due to my ram but i have had no trouble getting to 1640 fsb with my ghetto engineering.

All CPUs are different in their need for current.
My E6600 is very power hungry compared to most I've seen, but if I try to drop it down to what others have managed, I just can't keep it cranked up.
As long as you keep it cool enough, it shouldn't matter that you're having to stick more voltage into it to enable it to get its required power.

here's Super PI 32M @ 3.6ghz
my cpu voltage in cpu-z keeps fluctuating from 1.175 to 1.408. anybody know why this is happening? in everest ultimate it fluctuates from 1.40 to 1.42 which isn't so bad. I have the vcore set at 1.4250 in the bios.

1.56V is unfortunately compulsary for my overclock, since 1.45V limits me to 2.25Ghz.

I think I'd say the 65W ones are the 65nm product. My money's on the 65s for the higher OC, but I can't say for certain.

I'm at 3.6ghz. I've got the vcore set at 1.4250 and fsb termination voltage, mch voltage, ich voltage all still set on auto. I can run Super PI at 32M, everest stability test, and encode with RB/CCE no problem
however, I can not say it is completely stable because it crashes when I try to run OCCT or ORTHOS even if I bump up the vcore to 1.450 and mch to 1.65. when I tried running those proggy's the cpu core temps bumped 66 C before crashing. that's too hot anyway and I'm not going to raise the vcore higher than 1.450. while running RB/CCE the cpu temp bumped 46 C and cpu cores bumped 60 C.
for what I'm going to do with my pc (mainly encoding), I am content with the performance and temps at 3.6ghz and my encode times are blazing fast. I get no BSOD's, lags, or lockups. I will add I could run ORTHOS and OCCT at 3.4ghz without it crashing.

cpuz has some trouble reporting the cpu voltage sometimes.
when i was fisrt trying to get get mine as high as i could i stopped at 1.55v as the extra .11 volts didnt help me get to the 1600fsb on x9, cpuz was saying i was giving it 1.2v both speedfan and everest got it right tho.
when im testing settings i tend to use 2 of these 3 and if they dont agree i will bring in the other to see if it agrees with one or the other.
nice scalling on superpi with it at 3.6ghz, have you done any tweaking of your ram yet? i took (just) over a second off my 1m time by tightening my timings from 5-5-5-15 1.8v(auto) to 3-4-3-11 2.1v.
speaking of ram voltages, nvidia have said that anybody who is using 2.4v over a prolonged time on their sticks will melt them. thats nice to know isnt it. they also said that its not just there chipsets that do this but all of them (iv only seen people with nf680i mobos report this so far but who knows?). hold on and i will look for a link and edit this in a mo.

OK I found out the BSOD issue, you'll love this. If I turn the system on for the first time in a day, I always get the BSOD, restart and it's absolutely fine. If I restart it, it is too, but if I shut it down, when I next turn it back on again, BSOD.

not really, I did up the voltage to 2.2 but I am still running the timings at 4-4-4-12.
just for testing purposes, I did up the vcore to 1.4625 and mch to 1.65 and reran orthos and occt. orthos did eventually crash again but ran much longer. I shut down occt, it was still going strong. I see no reason to stress my components that hard, that long since I will never be stressing them like that in any real world applications.
I'm sure if I uped the vcore one more setting, it would pass orthos. It encodes with RB/CCE rock stable at 3.6ghz with vcore set at 1.4250, and mch, ich, and fsb termination voltages all set on auto.
I'm also more comfortable with the lower temps at the lower voltages. at these settings at idle my mobo temp is 32 C and my cpu temp is 33 C. yesterday while encoding the mobo got to 35 C and the cpu bumped 46 C but the ambient temperature was also 5 degeees F (2.8 C) hotter then. I'm very content where it's at and how it performs. no BSOD, lags, or lockups. here's a few bencmarks.

Sam,
Wgere it says P5N E SLI on the MB, just look to the right and below it. That's where the revision number is. Tiny little print!

Add me to the list too, 1.01G
Well crap no one so far has a newer version! That sucks!
Sytyguy sent me a link for Memtest and I ran it 10 passes on each DIMM and the memory gives 0 errors. I also ran 3 passes each on each DIMM socket with 0 errors. What I can't understand is why it won't run at default settings. All I changed is the Boot Order and turned off the logo. It worked like that for 4 hours. I benched it at 1.8 (16,500) and 2.25 (21,700)with no problems. At 1.8 it wouldn't let me link the memory, which is odd as both the fsb and memory speed is the same. If I link them, it won't post. I didn't try with the 2.25 setting. CPU temp never exceeded 39C and the MB temp hit 42C.
I've narrowed the problem down to something between the CPU and the drive controllers. The optical drives are IDE and giving read errors and the seperately controlled sata drive is getting NTSF file structure errors. Both work fine in my D-940! While I could see a bad IDE or sata controller I just can't see both of them failing at the same time. No way! I also put an IDE drive in it and it gave the same error message I got with the sata.
We'll see what Asus has to say today!

Hello. I was wondering what the best way to go about getting the maximum peformance from my system would be. The current parts that I have (and that are not likely to change) are an ECS K7S5A Rev1.0 Mboard & (soon to have) an AMD Athlon 2800+XP-M @266FSB Barton Core that I want to stick in here. What exactly do I need to do. I am restricted as far as space goes. The computer case is an old Gateway Perfomance 500 from the late 1990's. No original hardware ('cept floppy drive) remains. And to make a longer story shorter... what do I need to do to help myself? Most of the rest of the hardware is listed in sig.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Ruinous,
if you're refering to overclocking, probably very little since OC'ing deals a lot with what the mobo is capable of. no disrespect but an ECS mobo alone scares me w/o any OC'ing.

I have read of a few... things... I can do to make my mobo to make it more capable, and I know I'm greatly limited by the mobo, but I plan on replacing the system at the end of the year and just want something powerful enough to run TES:IV Oblivion and HL2. I think with the new CPU coming, the RAM I'm getting (Kingston HyperX PC3200 512x2, the stick I have is a friends who doesn't need it), and the FX card (ATI X1650Pro 512MB AGP) it should be enough, though the ECS board scares me too. It'd be nice to squeeze some extra juice out of the old K7S5A though. =)
