Hades25 Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 those timings are pretty nice....cant get mine past 6 3 3 2.5 ... i would buy the same exact ram that you already have.....some dont work with others...weird you cant change the mutl. .. im sure you already know but its in freq/multiplier menu or something like that.....maybe you need a bios update...try downloading the newest version Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any. However, your board will be tied down by the speed of the slowest RAM on your system. So if you bought that 2.5, and your other stick can't handle 2.5, then you can't use it to its full potential. 3: On my NF2 board, there is an option in the bios called "System BUS" or something to that effect (I'm at school and can't check exactly). It's ussually on the same page as the multiplier and RAM/AGP settings. Also, isn't 184(368) a very...uh...strange FSB for you to be at if you haven't overclocked it? How, exactly, did the FSB get to that point? Trios Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkish Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 hey thanks for the replies. trios, i did oc my fsb... i might have made an error and said i didn't... but i di. the multi is stock, which is 12.5, and the fsb is at 184. 12.5 x 184 = 2300 whichis what the cpu is at right now.... see the thing is, i can't get my fsb up any more. the vcore is at 1.7 right now. if i up the fsb any more it crashes randomly, so iw as thinking of lowering the multiplier and increasing the fsb to like 200+. is this a good idea? Please let me know, thanks for the help again.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 thats what i would do, is lower the multi and up the fsb. I would always want a higher fsb than clock IMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkish Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 how much should i lower the multi and increase the fsb? any tips? or examples?? like bring it down to ten or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
young-joseph Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 (edited) That's just one of those things you have to play around with until you find a good balance. A lot of people seem to end up with an FSB around 190-210 give or take, just have to tinker till you find the sweet spot, besides, thats the fun part.

turkish Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 ok i see what you mean. but my question is, lets say my comp is at 12.5 multi times 184 fsb = 2300mhz if i increase the 184 to 186, the system in not stable... so will lowering the multiplier to 11.5 and then raising the fsb to 186 make it stable? and allow me to increase the fsb more? Ps voltage is increased to 1.7 already Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ps voltage is increased to 1.7 already i have to do this with my system...im at 10.5 at 185 right now.....at 1.6 try it....and also maybe adjust your ram timings ... yours are very aggresive right now.....try 5 3 3 2 or 2.5 ... my ram wont run at 2 ...only 2.5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkish Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 anyone with a nforce 2 mobo, (mine is a MSI K7n2 deltaI) can you tell me where to adjust the multiplier?? I know its in the bios, obviously, but which screen? Also, my cpu is not a barton core, its xp 2600... can i still change multiplier settings? If so, which screen...thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
young-joseph Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Even if its not Barton being able to change the multi depends on the board. Since I havent used that board I dont know where it is in the settings. Some boards you cant change it, if that is the case then you might have to use this sort of thingy http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/20030703/index.html to unlock it.
