Biostar Overclocking Settings

[Archerzz]

I have a biostar motherboard and I am unable to get my overclock on my AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor above a 2717.00 MHz

Any time I raise the FSB above 209 it goes into safemode, the only thing I can think of is my ram is trying to run at to high of a frequency. Problem is I cant figure out what the memory divider setting is I dont think my bios has one.

 

Sad thing is I got the overclock to work for a few days I was just sorting out voltages and stability and got it to a 2.8 stable but then it just stopped working.

 

So anyone out there with a BIOSTAR N68SA-M2T or a T-Series board having similar problems?

or anyone have a solution?

Sorry to say i do not have that MOBO but i'm sure you can get that clock higher (i've gotten a 4800+ to run at 3354MHz)

 

What are your full system specs?

 

 

Also have you changed any voltages?

[Archerzz]

Yes I raised the voltage to about 1.45v on my cpu at one point.

 

specs are :

BIOSTAR N68SA-M2T

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor

G.Skill DDR2 PC2-6400

evga 9800 GT

500w tagan psu

 

EDIT:

CPUZ says i have the above motherboard but I looked at my book/box and it says this

TF7025-M2 so not sure what thats about.

Alright well i looked up your MOBO and it does allow you to change ram timings.

 

You should have a setting that says timings and is set to auto you can then change that. There should be another option that says Memory Clock Value or Limit you can change that as well.

 

I also found out that your board will boot into default settings in the event of a bad OC are your bios settings changing?

 

Also when did you turn the voltages up before or after the 209 FSB? Other people using that board said they could not get past 209FSB withought upping the voltages.

[Archerzz]

I did it after it failed the first time.

 

it says something like

"Warning! System now in safe mode

Please re-setting cpu frequency in cmos"

 

something like that. And I have changed the timings on my ram, but I don't see anything about changing the memory clock value or limit, do you know what setting that would be called?

 

EDIT:

Also using the BIOSTAR auto overclock settings throws me the same error...

 

EDIT EDIT:

So after flashing the bios i went in set it back to what I had it before

FSB : 235 MHz

HT Multi: 4x

Multiplier: 12x

RAM speed to: 400 MHz

 

and that Did the trick I am not sure what is/was going on but hopefully it will stay stable at 2.8 and I will try and work my way up to the 3.0 GHz club =)
