tweakerxp Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I can't seem to overclock my RAM at all, even by 1 notch (403Mhz) up from 400Mhz stock. I've tried upping the voltage, loosening timings, everything I can think of to no avail. Any ideas? System details in sig. And here's my current BIOS settings: Memory Clock Frequency: DDR-400 Current Memory Clock: 400MHz Control CPU Frequency: Manual x CPU Frequency (Mhz): 400 NB FSB Strapping: Auto PCI-E Overclock: 100 Software Reset Clockgen: Enabled Memory Overclocking: Enabled Overclock Frequency (Mhz): 400 CPU Vid Control: 1.34375 CPU VID Special ADD: AUTO DDR2 Ram 1.8 Voltage: 2.1 CPU VTT 1.2V Voltage: 1.26 NB Core 1.2V Voltage: 1.38 NB PLL 1.8V Voltage: 1.83 NB PLL 1.2V Voltage: 1.29 NB PCI-E 1.2V Voltage: 1.22 NB Core 1.2V convert from: 1.89 SB Core 1.2V Voltage: 1.23 Clockgen Voltage: 2.92 GTL REF Voltage control: Disabled CPU Core 1/2 GTL REF Volt: 48 CPU Core 3/4 GTL REF Volt: 48 North Bridge GTL REF Volt: 128 CPU PLL Setting Overide: Enabled PLL Override loop count: AUTO Conroe P-State Multiplier: x9 C1E Function: Auto CS Output Timing: Delay ¼ Clock CK Output Timing: AUTO Dual channel Split Mode: Auto ADDR/CMD Driving Pre-AMP: Disabled ADDR/CMD Driving Strength: 15 Clocking Driving Pre-AMP: Always Clocking Driving Strength: 5 Address/Command Timing: 2T Memory Timing Select: Manual CAS Timing (TCAS): 4 Read RAS-CAS Delay (TRCDR): 4 Write RAS-CAS Delay (TRCDW): 4 RAS Precharge Time (TRP): 4 Cycle Time (TRAS): 12 Row Cycle Time (TRC): 22 Refresh to Active (TRFC): 42 Bank to Bank CMD (TRRD): 3 Write Recovery (TWR): 6 Read-Write Command (TRTW): 3 Write-Write CS (TWTW_CS): 2 Write-Read Command (TWTR): 3 Write-Read CS (TWTR_CS): 2 Read-Read CS (TRTR_CS): 2 Read Data Transfers: 5 Memory Auto-Calibration Read Data Transfer: Enabled Read Strobe Delay: Disabled Read Strobe Arrival: Enabled Northbridge Selections Memory Channels: Auto Memory Power Management: Disabled IGD Clock Gate: Disable NB Channel Mapping: AUTO Simple Addr Translation: Disable Chip-Select Swap: Disable Burst Length: 8 Bank0 Map GFX: 4 Bank1 Map GFX: 5 Bank2 Map GFX: 54 Channel Mapping NB: 5 Channel Mapping GFX: 1 Bank0 Map NB: 5 Bank1 Map NB: 11 Bank2 Map NB: 7 FSB IO Driving Control: Manual 1X NMOS Strength: 10h 1X PMOS Strength: 10h 2X NMOS Strength: 10h 2X PMOS Strength: 10h 4X NMOS Strength: 10h 4X PMOS Strength: 10h Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Try something Set the processor for 7x400 and the memory at 400 and see if the system boots. Been seeing this issue with some 6400 memory. Got one board sitting here doing the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got one board sitting here doing the same. Board boots fine at 7x400 with RAM at 400. Of course 403 still fails with the lovely C1 diag led and beeps. Do you figure this a BIOS issue that will be fixed in the next release? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Right now not sure if it's a bios issue or SPD problem. Probably won't be able to check about the SPD till tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbeard Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I've already sent a email to the lab. I have no idea if we have this MOBO in house to test with. I'll find out and get back with you guys ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 As of today, JAN 23, our lab guys have a board on the way. I'll update you as soon as I know something. My guess is that this is going to require a bios revision by DFI as it seems to be IC-centric and not linked to any 1 brand of memory.

Yeah, I'm starting to hear more reports of other people having this problem; it's certainly something with the board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsB Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I have the same prob with my ocz pc800. its ati branded but still wont oc well at all. I think its a DDR@ 6400 issue. like Yellowbeard says it gonna prolly take a bios to fix. doesn't stop you from ocing though. I got 3.2ghz on a 6300. would be nice to oc mem a bit though.

Praz Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Yellowbeard thank you for looking into this. I agree with the bios being the problem as this issue does not appear to be brand specific. My issue will be resolved as of tomorrow. I just got done ordering a set of PC2 8500 Dominators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
