HanZo Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Sup Guys. I just build this rig 2 weeks ago. Fortron BlueStorm 500Watt AMD Athlon64 3700+ OCZ EL Platinum Rev2 TCCD 2-2-2-5 DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D EVGA Geforce 7800GT w/copper heatsink Pioneer DVD-Burner Zalman CNPS7700-Cu Currently running at: 1:1 ratio CPU : 300 x 9 = 2700 mhz @ 1.425 Volt Ram timing: 2.5-4-3-7 @ 2.9 Volt Genie BIOS Settings: FSB Bus Frequency - 300 LDT/FSB Frequency Ration - Auto CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio - 9 PCI eXpress Frequency - 100Mhz CPU VID StartUp Value - StartUp CPU VID Control - 1.425v CPU VID Special Control - auto LDT Voltage Control - 1.20v Chip Set Voltage Control - 1.50v DRAM Voltage Control - 2.9v Temperatue: idle 27 celcius, load 37-39 celcius. I already tried 240 x 12 = 2600 mhz at timing of 2-3-3-5 and its stable. CPU volt is at default, ram is at 2.9 volt. what do u think? should I go for 2700 or 2600 on tight timing. how can I achieve 2800mhz? Also how is my Temperature? CPU - idle 27-29 celcius, load or after playing quake 4 or Counter-strike 37-39 celcius PWMIC - idle 37celcius, load 39-40 celcius Chipset: 48 celcius, max I see is 49 celcius? what is the safest temperature on these chip?

HanZo Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Hey I just disable Thermal Throtting awhile ago and my temp is drop considerably. I mean it always around 27-29 celcius, not fluctuating toward 38 anymore. Usually the temp reach 38 celcius and my fan start to sped up to full speed cause I set it in the BIOS temp > 38, full fan speed. Is there anything wrong with it?

pshootr Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Anyone? where is everyone gone to? Hello HanZo, I have only experimented a little bit with lower multi. But I run 11x 263@ 1.59 vcore (from bios). You should try this at lower voltage first. then increase, only if necessary. And while you do this keep your memory at stock speed by using the divider option in dram portion of the bios. Make SURE you look at the definitive overclocking guide here http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20823 The sticky for overclocking guide is very useful, you will need it to go to the top. I suggest you try 150x11 first. at 1.49 vcore. After you get your cpu stable, then you can start finding your memories highest stable clock. from what I have read your memory should overclock very well. But DON"T overclock it until you find how high your cpu will run (stable). AFTER you find your max cpu speed. THEN you should and find your max memory speed. Also make sure you check out OCZ"s forum http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/index.php so you can find tested O/C ram settings for YOUR ram.

Brandon_34 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 you have gotten better results than me i can't get past 250 stable with my ram.think 300 is going to be the max.be really great if you can get 300x10 stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanZo Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Well I'm happy with 2.7ghz because I don't want to run on high voltage. I'm already concern with the 2.9v feeding to my RAM. Is it okay to run DRAM 2.9v? All I'm asking is this. Should I run 240x11 on 2-3-3-5 or 300x9 on 2.5-4-3-7? I don't want to reach a highest overclock, all I want is to gain enough power without losing too much life span of my components.

HanZo Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 UPDATE: I just try 255 x 11 = 2805 on 5/6 divider, which is ddr333/166 @ 2-2-2-7 Voltage are CPU = 1.475v, DRAM 2.8v is it better to run it like this? I know my RAM crap out at 240 @ 2-3-3-5 2.8V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph0en!x Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 run at whatever you can get stable. I mean the higher you can go the better but be sure it runs stable and be sure that it passes prime95. I'd say run prime for at least a day if you are considering keeping it that high. It doesnt really matter as far as I know about the multiplier being at 10 or 11. If you can get it to run at 11 then do that if not then try 10. It doesnt really matter as far as I know. Im running a 3700+ San Diego right now and Im only on stock cooling so I just overclocked to 2.4GHz 219 FSB x 11 multiplier Im running a 1:1 ratio for my ram as well. My other specs are listed below in my sig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanZo Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 UPDATE RIGHT now I'm running 280 x 10 @ 1.45v on a divider 5/6, DRAM 2-3-3-7 @ 2.8v. Pass SuperPi 32M on 27m 266s. STable is it better? or worst cause its on a divider of 5/6. Please great ELDERS, should I keep this or go back to 240 x 11, 1:1, 2-3-3-5 2.8v And is 2.9v on TCCD too much?

adreno Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Try running Prime95 blended test and small fft for 8hrs or so each. Then maybe it is stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon_34 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 i read alot of articles that says raising the voltage on rev 2 tccd does nothing for it execpt excessive heat,sorry i'm a total noob to all this but i run mine@ 2.7 volts 416mz with 2-2-2-5 timings and have no issues at all.

HanZo Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Ok I'm happy now. I have three option. 1. 300 x 9 @ 1.425v, 1:1 ratio, Ram timing: 2.5-4-3-7 @ 2.9 Volt 2. 240 x 11 @ default volt, 1:1 ratio, Ram timing: 2-3-3-5 @ 2.9 Volt 3. 280 x 10 @ 1.45v, 5:6 ratio, Ram timing: 2-3-3-7 @ 2.8v Which one should I go for?
