very, very weird problem with my Opteron

hi guys,

 

at first i want to say hello to you all, since i'm new here. I'm reading a lot on XS and GoT (dutch forum), but i have a very serious problem, so i ask here.

 

This is my problem:

 

No matter what i try, i cannot get my system stable between ~ 230 - 290 FSB. At 200 / 300 everything is fine. Changing the multi does not help. (4x230 is just as unstable as 10x230). All memory timings in BIOS are set to default, except the 2.5-3-3-7 timings. Until a few weeks ago, i ran up to 300x10 stable using these settings, but now i'm getting a lot of BSOD's.

 

I tried everything, tried different BIOSes, relaxed memory timings, using dividers, playing with cpu and mem voltage, swapped memory sticks, even used another videocard, but nothing helps!

 

A guy from G.skill suggested to RMA my memory, he thought it was broken. But i find that rather strange, seeing the memory does DDR600 flawlessly.

 

Please help me! I am very desperate right now. I am already considering to buy a DFI Expert, 'cause i'm thinking my mobo is the problem.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think that is going to be your problem, you need to set the other timings as well.

 

i find this rather strange, i always worked using AUTO values, no problem. A friend of mine reported a similar problem. Is this known? I tried them manually, and used the values from Kakaroto's guide on XS (he works for G.skill, so he knows), but they don't work.

What do you have your FSB/HTT multi set at? Update your BIOS and see if that helps. Is CPC disabled? I know my G.Skill likes low voltage, nothing over 2.7v. When you OC it to DDR550, you more than likey will need to have CPC disabled.

 

i agree, your g.kill may need to run @ 2T

see if that helps you

You really need to read the OC guide (sticky) and set everything about the memory manualy.

These boards are supposed to be tweaked. I you want to use 'auto' go buy asus.

When you set a divider for mem, 'auto' sets it to auto for that freq.

use A64MemFreq11 to find out your real mem speed, and set it acording to that.
