X2 3800+ Steppings


Recommended Posts

just rebooted :(

 

anyhow, here;s my scaling...

 

1.35 up to 2.3ghz, tried 2.5, didnt work...

1.45 2.3 to 2.8Ghz... 2.9Ghz didnt work....

1.55 @2.9 didnt work... currently trying 1.60 (cpuz/everest reads 1.584V)

 

remember, im on SLI Inf. tat means no 10-20-30% above CPU ratings... i only got Vcore. period.

 

if 1.6 wont let 2.9Ghz, i'll b happy wit 2.8Ghz :) but im still far from finish ..........

yay! let all 0618EPMW unites! lol

 

im hijacking my own question thread into my oc log... oh well....

 

280 requires 1.475

290 requires 1.625

and after a few more attempts

285 requires 1.500!

so i thought i'll stick wit 1.5, no more... (wow, just under 8 hours i installed this thing lol)

2.89... failed...

2.88....still benching... about 10min now...

 

maybe i'll shut it off for the night to let AS5 blends in......

well, the RUMOURS that i heard of (u can probably check AS5 website too) is burning it for 8hr, then leave it to cool down for another 8, then burn again, cool again, repeat for at least 3 times during 5 days...... or somethin like that........

 

im currently testing 2.87... 2.88 failed after 30 min.........

I have read that ATI chipsets could work at high HTT frequencies, but did you try setting the HTT to x3 ?

Maybe it helps a little in stability, because having it under 1000 doesn't affect performance.

 

Another detail that could help, is using only 2 ram sticks instead of 4... it will help to overclock better, if not the processor, at least a lot with the memory.

Im yielding the same results. Although im trying to get my memory to run at a 1:1 ratio. It boots up just fine but it eventually errors out on superpi. I remember seeing a memory tweak guide somewhere but i don't know where. Any pointers would be helpful.
