SATA speed locked?

[napkin]

When you up the FSB does it up the SATA mhz or something like that? Do you have to lock it? Ever since I oced from 2.2ghz to 2.6ghz my hard drives will make a wierd sound for like 2 sec while loading BF2 and it will freeze then come back.

The SATA ports on the nVidia controller are locked.

Borrow this thread since I had the same question but need an answer or sudgestion on how to proceed.

As soon as I increase the FSB above 260 MHz I can't boot into windows and I have always thought that maybe it has something todo with the SATA speed but now I know that's not the case, good.

But I still have that problem, I have decreesed the multipler on the CPU and put a divider on my memories but I still can't get my PC to boot when the FSB is above 260 MHz. I have increased the chipset voltage with 0.1V but no change in behavior.

I mean there must be something to change since there are a lot of people that has FSB above 300 MHz on the same MB I have.

Could be just about anything limiting your OC.

 

RAM, CPU, power supply.

They may have the same motherboard as you. but that means nothing. Is your memory the same? Is every last thing the same? Even if they had the exact same hardware down to the last detail, no hardware overclocks the same. My memory won't do 300...I know it and I live with it.

 

Have you tried upping your V-Core?

That is why I decreased the multiplier on the CPU, clocks below 2 GHz when I try.

That is also why I put a divider on the memory, 166 MHz, runs well below the 258 MHz they are capable of in windows, even below the stock 200 MHz.

The PSU is a Hiper 580W, don't think that is the problem, not according to the voltages I can read anyhow, (multimeter and MBM5 in windows)

So please give me something to test, check or read to try to verify where the problem(s) are.

I have read more or less any information I have come across, also on this forum, but I still don't have any clue on how to proceed on this.

 

I can understand that You can't tell me that this is the problem, but my guess is that You have done a fue OCs, I'm on my second serious attempt and don't have that much of experience to fall back on, so please some help here.

I don't want my memories above 300 MHz they do 258 in windows without faults in prime or super-pi

What I want to do is to increase the FSB so I can optimize my CPU clock and my memory clock.

With an FSB on 280 MHz an mulipler on 10 a divider on my memories 9/10 I would be as close as I can get to my hardwares limits and that is why I like to have the FSB higher than 260 MHz

You are already over 400 Mhz above stock according to your signature. If you think you have a snowballs chance in Miami to get 300 at 11x you are sadly mistaken. If you drop your multiplier to 10x, you'll need to hit 280 to just be where you are right now.

 

Either give it more juice at the 11x multiplier or drop it to 10x or 9x and up the HTT. At 9x you would have to do 310 to just be where you are now. Those running 300+ HTT are usually doing it at a 9x multi.

 

You don't mention what your V-Core is at right now.

 

Those getting the highest overclocks are the slowest CPU's such as a 3800+. Usually a 3800+ and a 4800+ will get the same top speeds. I really don't think a 4800+ will overclock percentage wise as high as a 3800+.

 

You're already 200 MHz over a CPU that costs 400.00 more....look on the bright side. :shake:

Thats my point I can't get the FSB (HTT) above 260 MHz, a lot of names on this DFI uses one, Asus another and so on.

My CPU is not the problem but I have 1,39 V, any higher my CPUs runs very hot in full load, waiting for my water cooling set.

And Yes I know that I'm running 400 MHz above stock. I want a lower multi 280*10 to optimize my mem speed, thats why I want to be able to increse the FSB to 280 MHz

I'm actually running at 12*235 and my memory at 1/1 just because I get closer to my hardware optimums

[Daddyjaxx]

There's your problem...1.39 just ain't going to do it. A 400MHZ OC on that slight V core increase is excellent. I need 1.44 to get a 400 MHZ OC alone. 1.39 is just .04 over stock.

[Flashes]

Well don't thinks so since I can run this

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=72480

on 1,39 and prime stable during 12 hours

OC from within windows. 12*235 I run on 1,39 V, no problem at all.

But when I try 260 MHz on the FSB, changed in bios the PC don't boot even if I have the multi at 9 and the div to half.

I will however try higher VCore when I get my water cooler set, hopfully tomorrow, and se if there will be any change in the bahaviour.

My 1,39V VCore is what I measure and MBM5 reports, in bios its 1,425 V.

I use an Zahlman AlCu7700 to cool my CPU but it struggel to keep my CPU cool, I use the stock cooler for my server it needs it better.

I stand corrected, a higher VCore did boot my system into windows.
