tech_soul7 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 I read that it is highly recommended to disable cool n quiet support while overclocking. Should I leave it disabled all the time or I can enable it again when I find max of my cpu? One more thing when overclocking ram how should I change latency settings? For example I set FSB speed to 215 it means that my ram is running at 430. Let's say that at this frequency with 2.5-3-3-8 my memory becomes unstable and system won't boot. Now with which order should I change my latency settings? For example should I try changing first let's say cas from 2.5 to 3 or should I try changing cas and ras to cas delay then it would be something like this 3-4-3-8 or should I try changing it all together at the same time. Is there write answer on this or I need to play with it and try to find best result? Any suggestions? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvintang Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 you should just start with loose timings, then slowly tightening them. remember, cpu MHZ is the king. Unless you want to overclock everything outta it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech_soul7 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 He he I've got one more question. I clocked my cpu to 2520 Mhz 280x9. I passed super pi and occt tests and now I want to run prime95 (that's my first time). Which test should I run? 1.small ffts 2.in - place large ffts 3.blend or custom if custom which values should I enter? Thanks for your answer calvintang but I'm not 100% shure that you understand my previous question Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 blend he meant with loose timings meaning 3-4-4-8 - cause if your gonna clock your ram you will be at 3-4-4-8 anyways.your ram will max out around 260MHz. If you use a ram divider then use one that gives you the tightest timings your ram will do no mater what divider. meaning if your ram will do 2-3-2-5 @200 MHz then find a divider that will allow you to. its better then using a divider and 3-4-4-8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech_soul7 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Thanks for your help guys. I'll run prime tonight and see where I am I hope so that I will be satisfied with result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tech_soul7 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I runed prime95 for 10:30 hours and it was ok. I manage to clock my cpu to 2520 Mhz 280 x 9 at 1.55 v, I was curious so I set fsb to 289x 9 ( 2601 Mhz ) but than I need to raise up a little bit Vcore so I set it to 1.5 + 110% to get 1.65 V. At this settings I passed super pi and occt without any errors but with 55 C cpu temperature at full load. At 2520 Mhz cpu temp is between 45 – 49 so I quit running 2600. Now I want to overclock my memory but I don't have any cooler for it just stock aluminum hot spreader. Will it be enough for let's say 50 Mhz overclock becouse I clocked it for 14 Mhz just to try and I touched aluminum hot spreader it was pretty hot. Another question is how far can I go with vdimm using this memory and its aluminum hot spreader? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 yes. the heat shields are OK. but 1 gig sticks don't like volts over 2.7 much that memory has uccc chips I think could be wrong. and there a tread with all uccc settings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tech_soul7 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Ha I don't know which chips are on it. I just found on hot spreaders this "xms 32002 v1.2" 0640012-1. I don't know if I can remove hot spreaders to see which chips are on they? So what's your suggestion? Maybe to leave it on 2.6 V (it is by spd) or set it to 2.7 and try to find max on that voltage.

red930 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 NO DO not remove them all look it up for you. Are they one gig sticks? Edit- is this what you got ? Twinx2048-3200C2 XMS3202 V1.2 0626061-2 = Nanya -5 Rev B 64M x 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
