Koroshiya Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 So here are some screenshots of CPUz results for what I am currently running at. any feedback advice would be appreciated, if you need any more info please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks in advance! http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=79529 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fum Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 That sure is a lot of volts you're pushing through that E4 for such a mild OC. You should be able to do that ez with default voltage. These E4's are nice that way. :nod: One thing I can point out is that you're using a 1/2 multiplier, 10.5 instead of 10 or 11... the nf3/nf4's and athlon memory controllers don't like that... maybe that's what's holding you back?

Koroshiya Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I just recently upped that from 10x.. What's strange is I was able to run 225Mhz @ 11x then 235Mhz @ 10x stable... My temps are staying at under 40 so I am not sure what the problem is. One thing that really confuses me is my memory settings.. I have my timings set to 2-2-2-7 and 100Mhz .. Which is the lowest option in my MB BIOS. When I try to up it by one slot MemTest86 starts failing immediately... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fum Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Loosen those timings and test again. You may want to hit up the stock speed database and the oc database to see what others with your sticks are doing... that would help you a lot.

Koroshiya Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 So luckily I have 2 computers so I can post as I make changes... I am looking at my BIOS screen now.. Everything is set to "Auto" except.... FSB Bus Frequency: 225 LDT/FSB Frequency Ration: X 5.0 LDT Bus Transfer Width: 16 16 CPU/FSB Frequency Ration: 11X PCIe eXpress Frequency: 100Mhz K8 Kool and Quiet: Disabled CPU VID Startup 1.400v CPU VID Control: 1.400v CPU VID Special Control: 104% LDT Voltage Control: 1.20 V Chip Set Voltage Control: 1.70 V DRAM Voltage Control: 2.70 V DRAM Frequency Set (Mhz): 100 (DRAM/FSB:1/02) Command Per Clock (CPC): Enabled CAS Latency Control (Tcl): 3.0 RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd): 03 Bus Clocks Min RAS# active time (Tras): 08 Bus Clocks Row precharge time (Trp): 03 Bus Clocks This is what I have set atm.. and it runs.. I am unable to boost the CPU up much without it going into an endless reboot cycle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fum Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 LDT/FSB Frequency Ration: X 5.0 Drop that down to 4x. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustardTheoRy Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I had a similar setup except cpu was 3500+ with twinx CMX512-3200LLPRO 2x512 running @ 2.59ghz Whats the default multiplier x11? well keep it on x11 Place HTT at 240 or 250 HT x4 try your current vcore or raise it in increments until stable (i wouldn't do more than 1.61, you can though) Mem should run 1T-3-4-4-8 (auto for the rest of settings until you get up and running then tweak) raise vdimm to at least 2.9 i had mine on 3.2 with 5/6 mem divider You should be able to reach 2.75Ghz and run 1T 2.5-3-6-3 5/6 divider with vcore of 1.5 or more and vdimm of 2.9 or more I ran my 3200PRO at 3.2 for years Any other questions shoot..

Koroshiya Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 With 250 Mhz & 1.55 V With 104% CPU VID Special (1.612V effective) The furthest I can get is... Verifying DMI pool......Update success. Then it hangs.... Changing to 245 Mhz gets me a BSoD And 240 Mhz gets me into Windows but with a Prime95 hardware failure Still lowering.....

Fum Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 You need to get your memory in order first... you can't expect to just plug values in willy nilly and have things work. It's also not a good idea to just slam the machine with a lot of volts. That's a real good way to degrade your cpu's memory controller. Go up slowly.

Koroshiya Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Fum- I lowered my multiplier like you said to 4.0X before I changed things like MustardTheoRy was suggesting... I am in agreement with you in regards to memory but honestly.. this stuff is just screwing with my head. What i think I am reading and what is actually occuring are on to opposite sides of the spectrum. I thought my default settings on my Memory were 3-3-3-8... and 200Mhz. but when I set it to that MemTest86 fails like a champion.

Koroshiya Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I have been wracking my brain over these memory forums for a few days now and things still don't add up for me... Everyone says I should be able to set my memory to 200Mhz 1/01 but I can't plain and simple.. Even when I set my timing to 3-3-3-8 like the guide says they should be.... Does 100Mhz in N4 actually mean 200 and 200 actually means 400? Thus when I pick 200 1/01 I am actually pushing it to twice it's rating?

MiLK_MD Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Whoa, slow it down a little. Change one thing at a time and see what are the effects. Firstly, you can leave your HTT on Auto. According to Angry_Games, the boards are designed to automatically adjust from x5 to x4-x1. If you want, you can just set HTT to x3 or x2 and leave it at that, but Auto is fine for FSB settings up to 300 and beyond. Secondly, the DRAM/FSB is simply a ratio of what your memory is running vs. FSB. DFI bios has numbers like 200 1/01 and 180 9/10. Don't worry about the first set of numbers; the important number to recognize is the ratio: 1/01 or 9/10 or 5/6. That is the ratio of your memory to whatever you set your FSB. If your FSB is 200 and the ration is 1/01 then your memory is 200. If your FSB is 250 and your ratio is 1/01 your memory is 250. On the otherhand if your FSB is 250 and your ratio is 9/10 then your memory is running at 9/10ths of FSB speed 225. Note that this is a quick and dirty way of APPROXIMATING mem frequency. The actual value is calculated using a ceiling function (Memory Frequency = (FSB x (CPU ratio)) / ] ((CPU ratio) x (FSB : DRAM ratio)) [ (check out the sticky on AMD overclocking.) And based on your sig memory, start with 3-4-4-8 timings first then lower them as you strive for stability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
