dr_bowtie Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 that chip will be fine up to and including 65c.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xly15 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Your Ocing by messing with the HT Link. Your multi is still at stock. Btw is it a BE X2 5200+? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulten Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I'm pretty sure that the HT link frequency is just that the Ht link frequency. The HT link does not like to be messed with alot. That could be why you are unstable right now. I mean x5 sounds like a low multiplier on that cpu. your cpuz also shows that your multi is at 13.5 not 5. Er, I meant that I think the HT Link Frequency option is equivalent to the HT Multiplier. The CPU multiplier is locked on this (It's not a black edition). Right now my HT Link is running at 920 Mhz. If I left the option where it was before (1 GHz), I'd be at 1150 Mhz HT Link. System seems rock stable at 3.1 GHz. I'm gonna run a test overnight and see if it really is 100% stable.

xly15 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 How long did you test it for? What stability program did you use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulten Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I tested it for a half hour using OCCT with no errors. I'm gonna run it overnight and see if it's completely stable.I would have kept running it right now, but I had some obligations that kept me from doing so. Here is the current validation: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=473754 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xly15 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I don't know what more to tell you. Just test it for stability and post back. I would suggest Prime95. Let that run for a full 24hrs ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulten Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I will give Prime95 a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 OCCT or Orthos is fine... for stability at higher frequencies like 3.2ghz to 3.6ghz the HT must scale as well... at 3.4ghz most prefer HTT in the 1300mhz range... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I should have the HT Link up around there? I wasn't sure on this and couldn't find concrete answers. I'd read half that said basically let it go up and other half that said lower the multiplier so it doesn't get too high. I'll see what happens when I have it set to 5x. It's a 4x right now, running the HT Link at 920. I'd be at around 1200 at 5x. One other question. What kind of temperatures are safe on the northbridge? Mine's running at 52C right now while stressing w/ Prime95. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuclear Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 you'll find better stability at those frequencies....at 1200mhz htt I completely agree. Try getting your HTT up and see if that doesn't increase your stability. Most guides you read give conservative numbers or fail safes to try, they aren't really meant for pushing a chip really hard and fast. The only time I've seen a chip scale extremely well on a sub 1K HTT was the PII 940 I have sitting here, it's the only way to get past the cold bug and just seems to keep flying. If playing with the HTT doesn't get you more stability then its time to really start tweaking all of your other voltages, if you haven't already. Normally the last few MHz are the hardest to get Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally the last few MHz are the hardest to get Well, I was able to get it stable for an hour stress test @ 3.22 GHz by upping the voltage to 1.44 and the HTT at a little below 1200. I can't seem to get error free up to 3.27, and I can't get into windows past that. I suspect memory timings/voltage to be the issue. And stop teasing. PII 940... must... have... <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
