Ashish Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Well, currently I got it running at 2.6 with the following settings: Cpu Voltage: 1.49v LDT: 1.3v Chipset: 1.7v Memory: 2.5-3-3-7 at 2.7v. These settings are stable in prime for about 9 hours and countless hours of HL2. If I crank the FSB to 246 with these settings then Prime fails within 5 seconds. Memtest test 5 and test 8 show no errors for 10 passes each at 246 fsb. I raised to CPU voltage to 1.52 and the LDT to 1.4. Prime still fails within 5 seconds for one core. So, what could it be? I am scared to go much higher on voltage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
irfy Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 X2s usually have 1 BUM core ! Only if your extremely lucky you get 2 good cores. I suffer from the same disease 1 core does 2.7Ghz the other 2.4Ghz just cant get it stable over 2.4GHz 240 x 10. :mad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 i cant get my 4400+ to go past 2650Mhz on both cores stable....2700 has been a pipe dream for a while...some of the newer cores are supposed to do better...mixed bag if you ask me (two cores @ 2650Mhz aint nothing to complain about tho) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie22911 Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 ive heard rumors of the IHS not contacting both cores correctly causing one to fail, can anyone confirm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nomad Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 I got 80Mhz from flipping the lid. Dropped temps allot. From 45-46c load to 38c load. Idle temps are 28-30c. I am still amazed by the X2! And they keep getting better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashish Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 oh well, guess I'll start to do some other tweaking now. Like dropping the volts, maybe even tighten the memory timings. Thanks for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizZard Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Bah, my new 4400+ has one really bad core and one really good one Can only get to 2.5Ghz stable with 1.49v However it seems like it can run DDR625 happily (312x8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepGan7 Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Hi Mine 4200+ is fully stable @240x11 with Vcore=1.50 240x11 This seems to a "brick wall" 246x11@Vcore=1.57 fails after 10 minutes 2xprime95 So Vcore needs >=1.6 with alot of heat produced even if watercooled i suspect temp to go close if not over 50C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 DG, I've got my 4400+ watercooled and it has never hit above 48C with both core's torture priming at the same time...but as always, everyone will have different results I've still never been able to get my 4400+ past 2650Mhz (and I fight with it daily but it is winning the war) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbehind Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 I plan to overclock my 4400 next week. Well, my goal was to reach 2.8 gig with air cooling and faster RAM (it seems using divider would generate potential problems, correct me if I am wrong), I have been spending time to search for faster and more expensive RAM. But from reading this I wonder if I set my goal too high. :nod: If it's mission impossible then I am gonna save that extra money. What do you guys think?
