Have you come up with any conclusions on how best to use these boards?
There are so many different designations; I do not understand what they do and how they would compare to the H55 BIOS.
Some of the entries are the same but many are unknown to me.
Any direction you would give would be appreciated.
Got the chips off and WINDOWS installed. Almost done with tweaking the installation.
Sounded good from the start. No question native PCI support is no longer as important as we thought.
Thanks,

Please see my BIOS settings.
My Kingston 1G DDR3 1333 can run at 1.1V, another older 512mb can only start at 1.3V.
Try to limit the Turbo values to 30.
It's a G440 CPU, so the BIOS was indicating ALL core.
I've not test the lowest voltage limit of this CPU, which should be around 0.8V. My i3-2120T running on an H67 mobo can run at 0.805V, but still haven't tested its lowest limit.
Quick Boot should be "Enabled"
I am using a KINGSTON 512mB memory and it will not go below 1.26.
Might have to try that same memory you are using. 1.1 volts - impressive!
Have you not tried Serge/STEPPES memory settings?
I am using them (thought there are a few differences so I have only implemented the ones with the same name).
What is interesting is with these settings the H55 board would not boot. One had to have a intermediate step. With the H61 board - boots right up.
I have been experimenting with how low the voltages can go.
I will report where I am. Cannot remember.
Glad you are back. We need you.
It's a KINGSTON 1GB 1333 Value Ram, better sounding than the HyperX I have got. Lowest is 1.08V when powered by NiMh batteries. 2D size will last more than 5 hours.
On H55M_UD2H, I could set my memory latency values slightly lower than that. It's because the default ram power circuit was by-passed.
The same memory setting will boot on H61 mobo because it has got a more responsive power supply than H55! The integrated Driver MOSFETs make provision for a low noise environment and speedy PS. This is a decent mobo, you won't go back.
I had previous to your post disabled the TURBO BOOST stuff.
Since you are using it I had to try it.
It took quite a few cycles to get close to the values you are using and I think this is causing some usage problems - not actual sonic problems even though I do get the occasional loud crackle which I cold live with and a few episodes of a sudden blue screen with a consequent squeal coming from the loudspeakers.
Please tell me what you think the advantages of this thing is.
It seems like a current limiter as opposed to a regulator which makes me think back to your original posting on the H61 boards where you noticed the occasional spike in current. Was this with or without the TURBO B engaged? One wonders if my problems are caused by the MB needing extra current but the demand is "blacked" by TURBO BOOST?
I am able to use even lower (not much) values for the memory that Serge's suggestions. And the board will boot every time.
I gave you the wrong voltage for memory - I am able to use 1.22 volta.
Can't go as low with the CPU voltages as you - if I go too low the board cannot load the JULI@ ASIO drivers - very strange - never had that problem with the H55 board - it either worked fine or died well before the cMP screen.
I use the 512mB memory since that was what cics recommended and he recommended it for the low power it required versus larger sizes. It is a KINGSTON VALUE RAM also. I should try the 1M and see what happens.
Thanks again for your help,
stopping any turbo boost.
I have the S2H and S2P-B3 mobo and a G440 processor. Haven't find the time for installation yet.
Your post would be useful to me, and thanks to Jack for the recommendation.
bought it in September and had no luck finding a good board to use it with.
When Jack Wong made his post I was glad that I could put the thing to use.
I like the combo very much.
I think my H55 board has been permanently replaced.
Hi Rick!
What system board you are using on the chipset H61? Gigabyte H61M-S2H? Did you guess how to reduce the CPU and GPU voltages in bios?
Serge.
http://cmp2-mihaylov.narod.ru/
My cMP2: Windows XP SP2 Ru, GA-H55M-UD2H, i3-530, Corsair CM3X160C9DHX 1GB, system drive - Transcend IDE FLASH MODULE TS2GDOM40V-S FAT32, ESI Juli@, full linear PSU, NAS - WD My Book Live
I was confused by the TURBO BOOST stuff and then saw (it was plain as day) that you can turn it off.
Does have the ability to disable SPREAD SPECTRUM.
Set the memory to the settings given by the other Serge. Set memory voltage to 1.3 volts.
I could see how to reduce the voltages just was not sure how far to go. I guess the best thing is just see what happens. I did notice this morning when looking at the CPUZ screen posted by Mr. Wong that he has his processor voltage at 0.88.
Can't seem to get the Vcore very low but then I am not sure what the control I am using does. There are many things labelled the same as the H55 board but a few with a new nomenklature that I am not sure about. Here you reduce the voltage in predetermined amounts - you do not get to pick a set voltage. So far it says I am at 0.84 volts in the BIOS. Forgot to install CPUZ and now it is too late.
I will try to make a list of the entries tonight
This board does sound good. Different from the H55 board. The presentation is more forward at the moment but I have not minimized the system hive yet. That will probably recess the stage a bit.
The board is very quiet. Much quieter than H55 and I thought that board was quiet. Comparing two boards with audio and video chips removed along with fan mosfets, the H61 is obviously quieter. I was not expecting that at all.
As I said before I hear no shortcomings of the PCI bridge as if I would know what to listen for ... (!)
I will optimize this board's installation and get used to it and replace the h55 back in a couple of weeks from now.
Any suggestions of how best to use the BIOS would be appreciated.
Thanks,
