Shadowfactor Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 My mutiplier is at 11.5 and bumped the thing up to 164 mhz and with a vcore of 1.625 and it booted and stuff , so i tryed putting it up to 170 mhz with the same vcore , didnt boot , then i tryed 1.650 wouldnt boot , asus reporter said memory test failed , i reset c-mos put everything back on stock it worked fine my ram is Dual channel @ 400 Mhz Cosiair , timing of 8.3.3.3. What should i do ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades25 Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 loosen your timings dude Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Those are loose timings...they don't get any looser than cas3. All I can think is try a higher vcore, like 1.75 or so to begin with. That chip is probably a tbred-a and won't want to go very high. You'll need to "persuade" it with some more volts. Also, what cooling do you have?

Ph33rh4x Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 accually i heard with some ram it will give you better results if you tighten the timings. that ram might just be running to loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special_K Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Maybe you should up the chipset voltage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfactor Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 I have a volcano 12 i heard that going past 1.7 was a bad idea but you guys no more than me , 3dmark 03 and speed fan say my maxium clock is 3 ghz so yea.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 High voltages are ok as long as you can keep the chip cool, which you will because the V12 is a good cooler. I run my 2400+ at 1.825V, though that is a little on the high side. Also, I agree Ph33rh4x...that ram is not designed to run at cas3, it should be run at cas2 or 2.5 at most. My geil won't even post at cas3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades25 Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 (edited) i thought 11 3 3 3 was even loser? duh ... its been a long day Edited February 17, 2004 by Hades25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 I run 1.9V through my 2800+ Barton 24/7 with no problems. My SLK-900A keeps it nice and cool. If I burn it out, I have the perfect reason to replace it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 lol, yeah, my thoughts exactly. It's not like it would cost a whole lot to replace the thing if I kill it. But it stays at 40 idle (though it is never at idle...thanks a lot F@H) and 47 load thanks to the good old slk-900a. Hades: 11-3-3-3 is looser than his current settings. Nforce2 for some reason likes to have an active precharge delay of 10 or 11, which are actually very loose. It gets best performance that way. With xms ram, he should be running no looser than 11-3-3-2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ph33rh4x Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 yeah 8 really sucks for nforce boards. if you cant run the prechange at 5 then you should run it at 11. so best timings would be 2-2-2-5 but if 5 isnt possible than it would be 2-2-2-11.
