_unexpected_ Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I have run all the tests for my CPU and passed them without any problems. SuperPI, OCCT, PRIME95, and 3DMark05. My Memory was running at DDR200 so I decided to fix that and I have it running at DDR400 with the following settings: FSB Freq - 260 LDT Freq - x2.5 CPU/FSB Freq - x11 PCI eXpress Freq - 100 CPU Voltage - 1.4v LDT Voltage - 1.3v ChipSet Volt - 1.6 DRAM Volt - 2.7 +0.03 if not 3.2v - enabled Memclock - 200 1T/2T Timing CPC - Enabled CAS - 3 TRCD - 3 TRAS - 3 TRP - 4 TRC - 7 TRFC - 16 TRRD - 3 TWR - 3 TWTR - 2 TRWT - 4 TREF - 3120cycles DRAM Bank Interleave - Enabled DQS Skew Control - Increase DQS Skew Value - 0 DRAM drive Strngth - Level 5 DRAM data Drive Strngth - Level 2 Max Async Lat - 8ns DRAM Resp. Time - Normal Read Preamble Time - 6ns IdleCycle Limit - 256 Dynamic Counter - Disable R/W Queue Bypass - 16x Bypass Max - 7x 32 Byte Granularity - Disable (4 Bursts) These settings passed Memtest for 11 hours without any errors and gave me the best score yet on 3DMark 05, a 9440.

UncleDavid218 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Change your LDT multiplier to 4x = 1040. Battlefield 2 is unbelievably sensitive to overclocking. What won't work in that game works for hours in others. Maybe it's bad or lazy programmers. Whichever, it is what it is so you're gunna have to live with it. Might be a GPU issue more than anything... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleDavid218 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 As an add one to my last post, .5 multipliers for both the CPU and LDT don't officially exist on the AMD A64 CPU. It is the motherboard that manipulated the memory controller on the processor, resulting in poorer performance than whole multipliers.

_unexpected_ Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 AHH gotcha 2.5 should be a whole number, comprendo. Thanks man...not sure if that will haywire the CPU OC with the 4x but I definitely will post regardless. Thanks man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_unexpected_ Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 4x and 5x didnt work im testing 3x right now...If it doesnt pass the 3DMark05, im assuming it wouldnt pass in the game either. Is this a correct assumption? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_unexpected_ Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I got 3DMark05 to pass with an LDT multi of 4x with a 3-4-4-4 timing. After I passed I started up my BF2 game and tried Single player, just to see if the problem still occured and YEP its still not playing or loading right. It cant be a Graphics card problem because it works great on everything else and this problem didnt start happening until I tried to improve my DDR speed. Any other ideas on what I can do?

ICON57 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 try putting your ram on a divider, and then give it a shot. looks like you might need to bump up your cpu volts a tad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_unexpected_ Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 icon, how would I place my memory on a divider? not sure I get your gist...could you help me out on that? First I will try the CPU volts first and repost...brb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
