Diezel Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 OK so I want to OC.. But there's a problem If I lower the ram divider - the system gets very unstable.. Sometimes it won't post, sometimes it will post but will not boot.. So I tried to loosen the timings - won't help. Then I tried to change the memory voltage from 2.60 to 2.70 - Now it posts, boots, but its unstable on windows. Tried to change voltage from 2.70 to 2.80 - sometimes posts.. and if it posts - it doesn't boot. Please help me fix that Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Hello, Trying to overclock with Kingston Value ram is going to be a struggle. What settings are you using? EG GENIE BIOS Setting >DRAM Configuration..................Press Enter = New Menu FSB BUS Frequency....................200 LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio..............X 5.0 LDT BUS Transfer Width...............16 16 CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio..............AUTO PCI eXpress Frequency................100Mhz K8 Cool 'n' Quiet Support............Disable Cool 'n' Quiet MAX FID...............AUTO CPU VID StartUp Value................StartUp CPU VID Control......................1.4v CPU VID Special Control..............AUTO LDT Voltage Control..................1.20 V Chip Set Voltage Control.............1.50 V DRAM Voltage Control.................2.70 V Run MemTest86+.......................Enabled, disable later GENIE BIOS Setting >DRAM Configuration DRAM Frequency Set (MHZ).............200 (DRAM/FSB:1/01) Command per clock (CPC)..............Enabled Cas latency (tCL)....................? RAS to CAS delay (tRCD)..............? Min RAS active time (tRAS)...........? Row precharge time (tRP).............? Row cycle time (tRC).................AUTO Row refresh cycle time(tRFC).........AUTO Row to Row delay (tRRD)..............AUTO Write recovery time (tWR)............AUTO Write to read delay (tWTR)...........AUTO Read to write delay (tRWT)...........AUTO Refresh period (tREF)................AUTO Write CAS latency (tWCL).............1 DRAM Bank Interleave.................Enabled DQS Skew Control.....................AUTO DQS Skew Value.......................0 DRAM Drive Strength..................Level 8 DRAM Data Drive Strength.............Level 3 Max Async Latency....................6ns Dram Response........................AUTO/Normal Read Preamble Time...................5ns Idle Cycle Limit.....................AUTO Dynamic Counter......................AUTO R/W Queue Bypass.....................AUTO Bypass Max...........................AUTO 32 Byte Granularity..................AUTO Your power supply is also on the weak side.

slick2500 Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Yes overclocking Kingston Value ram can most of the time get you nowhere. But if you want to see what the max your ram can do is check out this and look at the ram overclocking section http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=10...689&postcount=2 that is one of the best AMD overclocking guides I have seen.

cegras Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 There's nothing to oc'ing an AMD. Bump FSB, keep LDT/FSB ratio proper, and make sure you ram doesn't go out of spec. And if unstable, adjust voltages. Tt PSU's from that era are VERY flakey. The only ones that are marginally good are the 750W+ Toughpowers.
