kanwar777 Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Hello all! I have a DFI LanpartyUT nF4 Ultra-D with an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 90nm and 2X1GB OCZ Performance PC3200 1GB DDR400 CL3 3-3-8 (dual channel) i'm trying to overclock. I'm still fairly inexperienced in this, my first overclock was my old athlon 2500+ that I got up to 2.3 successfully. But this seems a little more complicated. I've been reading around and played with my bios a bit(latest flashed) and so far I got up to 2.34 GHz. Detailed info: Core speed: 2340.3 MHz Multiplier: x9.0 HTT: 260.0 MHz FSB Bus - 260 LDT/FSB Ratio - Auto CPU/FSB Freq ratio -9.0 CPU Vid Startup - 1.475 CPU Vid Control - 1.450 CPU Vid Special Control - auto LDT Volt - 1.30v Chipset Volt - 1.60v DRAM Volt -2.80v DRAM Frequency: 166 (5/06) CPC : Disabled Tcl: 3.0 Trcd: 04 Tras: 09 Trp: 04 Trc: 12 Trfc: 15 Trrd: 05 Twr: 03 Twtr: 02 Trwt: 04 Tref: 3120 Twcl: auto Dram bank interleave: enabled Dynamic Skew ctrl: auto Skew Value: 0 DRAM drive strength: lvl 3 Dram Data drive strength: Auto Max Async: 07 Dram Response time: normal Read Preamble: 05 IdleCycle Limit: 32 Dynamic Counter: auto R/W Queue Bypass: 02x Bypass Max: 02x 32bit granualarity: enabled(2bursts) I'd be happy if I can get this up to 2.6-2.7 or so. Thanks a lot in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated ! =) Oh and Happy New Year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Johnston Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 You can probably lower your vcore (i have mine at 1.35v 2.4ghz atm), and set your LDT/FSB to 3x. Those jumped out at me at a quick glance. Did you read the overclocking stickies and all that good stuff? Oh, your power supply is under spec as well... there's a sticky on that also.

LDT/FSB is automatic so it will know its x3, so it makes no difference to change it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanwar777 Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 I can get it up to 2.4something, but thats if I reduce my Dram frequency to 166(5/06) and get worse scores in 3dmark than when I had it at 2.3 and 180mhz(ram). I tried incorporating some of settings from the "NF4 Settings/Help (by RGone)" post and managed to get into windows at 2.4 with 180mhz, but it was pretty unstable. I've tried a number of different settings but unfortunately had very little success. Could this just be because I have a 450w antec psu? Thanks.

kanwar777 Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Update: I'm up to 2.5 now using 280x9x and 150 (03/04) DRAM frequency. My timings are 2.5-4-3-7. Trc:12clocks and Dram idle timer is 256. All else is set on auto/default, using the 704-2bt bios. What i'm having a hard time understanding is how my 3dmark05 scores are actually lower. I'm a gamer, and the main reason i'm oc'ing is to get better performance in games. What's going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanwar777 Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Update: Thanks to a buddy, i'm up to 325*8, LDT/FSB is 3, and ram frequency is 2/3. Bank interleave is disabled, timings are 2.5-4-3-7 TRC - 11 TRF - 13 TRRD - 04 TWR - 03 TWTR - 02 TRWT - 04 TREF - 3120 32bit granularity - 4bursts bypass max - 16x The rest of the settings are auto/default. I got up as high as 337*8, but instability kicked in. So far prime is stable at the current settings (2.60), was wondering if theres any settings I can modify to improve performance and possibly help me push it a little more. Thanks!

Gabe Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 iam also trying to get past 2.6ghz, cant seem to do it, what stepping is your venice? mine is LBBLE 0521BPKW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanwar777 Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 iam also trying to get past 2.6ghz, cant seem to do it, what stepping is your venice? mine is LBBLE 0521BPKW Don't know buddy but it's a DH-E6 90nm. Note: 290*9.0 with LDT at 4.0 also seems to work (2.61) CPU/11 membus:237mhz but that pushes the HTT over 1k, and as I understand it, ti should be around or lower. Still experimenting though, not sure what to stick with yet and still confused about 3dmark scores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanwar777 Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Okay here is my current setup: 325*8.0 (2.60ghz) LDT - x3.0 LDT Bus Transfer Width - (down)16 (up^)16 Voltages: CPU VID Startup Value - 1.525v CPU VID Control - 1.500v LDT Voltage - 1.30v CHIPSET Voltage - 1.60v DRAM Voltage - 2.90v DRAM + .03v if its not 3.2v - DISABLE (haven't tried lowering voltages yet) RAM settings: DRAM Frequency - 150RAM/FSB: 03/04 CPC - Enabled TCL - 2.5 TRCD - 04 TRAS - 07 TRP - 03 TRC - 11 TRFC - 15 TRRD -03 TWR - 03 TWTR - 02 TRWT - 03 TREF - 4128 DRAM Bank interleave - Enabled DQS Skew Control - AUTO DQS Skew Value - 0 DRAM Drive Strength - AUTO DRAM Data Drive Strength - AUTO MAX Async - AUTO DRAM Response Time - FAST Read Preamble time - AUTO IDLE Cycle limit - 256 cycles Dynamic Counter - DISABLE R/W Queue Bypass - 16x Bypass Max - 04x 32 byte Granularity - DISABLE (4 bursts) Not sure if I can push the CPU further to 2.7, but now I don't really care as I doubt there will be a significant performance boost. Right now I just want to know if there is anything I should change in the above settings and why exactly is my 3dmark05 score low but my ram/cpu benches are high (sandra and everest). Thank you.

kanwar777 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 I changed it around a little and used the following settings: 325*8 (2.6) 216mhz ram CPU/12 CPU startup vid - 1.425 CPU vid - 1.425 CPU vid special control - 110% CPC - Enabled TCL - 2.5 TRCD - 04 TRAS - 07 TRP - 04 TRC - 11 TRFC - 13 TRRD -05 TWR - 03 TWTR - 02 TRTW - 05 TREF - 3120 Bank interleave - disabled DQS Skew Control - INCREASE DRAM Drive strength - Auto Dram data drive strength - 3 Max async latency - 7x Read preamble - 5x Idle cycle - 256 Dynamic counter - disabled R/W Que Bypass - 16x Bypass Max -7x 32 byte granularity - disable 4 bursts Now i'm getting 7507 in 3dmark05 and 4446 in PCmark05 but my 'chipset' temp is also up to 54C under load (Cpu is fine though). So obviously i'm getting a lot more now than I did before. Anyway to increase this further? I'll continue to experiment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanwar777 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Okay here is an update. 325*8.0 (2.60ghz) RAM settings: DRAM Frequency - 216mhz CPU/12 CPC - Enabled TCL - 2.5 TRCD - 03 TRAS - 07 TRP - 03 TRC - 10 TRFC - 13 TRRD -04 TWR - 03 TWTR - 02 TRWT - 04 TREF - 3120 DRAM Bank interleave - Enabled DQS Skew Control - INCREASE DQS Skew Value - 100 DRAM Drive Strength - "WEAK 3" (5 i think) DRAM Data Drive Strength - LVL 3 MAX Async - 08 DRAM Response Time - FASTEST Read Preamble time - 05 IDLE Cycle limit - 64 cycles Dynamic Counter - DISABLE R/W Queue Bypass - 16x Bypass Max - 07x 32 byte Granularity - DISABLE (4 bursts) Scores: 3DMARK05 - 7654 PCMARK05 - 4552 Don't know if I can get it higher but that would sure be nice. =) Thanks.
