Nerm Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Err... is 1.825 too high of a vcore? Thats what im at right now. Not sure if its stable yet with this . Also, I can change the multiplier in the bios, but it doesnt change the multiplier when I look @ CPU-Z/ right click on my computer... eh. I guess that means its locked? yes that means it is locked. BTW 1.825 vcore is fine if your getting low 40c at load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spathalogic Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Alrighties, thanks. If you havent already, look at the previous post to this one (on this page) . /me feels a little better running a 1.825vcore Err... Should I keep OC'n? Would it be safe increasing the Vcore even more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 I would see how far I could get at that vcore before I raised it anymore. I got to 2.7ghz at 1.8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spathalogic Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Alright; back to the bios! EDIT: Nope, this is definately the wall at this point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSternMystic Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 You probably should stress test with Folding@home. It doesn't report errors, and when is does make errors, it can cause a WU to not finish properly, or just give the F@H people incorrect results. Use the Prime95 Torture test. Gets the system WAYYY hotter, and reports any errors. If Prime95 torture test doesn't pass, I don't consider it stable by any meaning of the word.

Nerm Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Alright; back to the bios! EDIT: Nope, this is definately the wall at this point you can try loosning those timings and change the ram divider to something like 5:4 and see if that gets you anywhere without uping the vcore.

spathalogic Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Okay. I'll try that. First im stress testing the night with Prime95 (meh.. never used it but I just found out how easy it is to use.. last time I tried to use it, it was 4am and I couldnt even find it !) EDIT: Also, would loosening all the timings up a notch work? IE 3-4-4-9? EDITv2.0: Answer: No. Ehm... I'll try them at 2.5-4-4-9 some time... with 5:4 timings. EDITv3.0: Had to lower the clock 2 mhz and put the 5:4 CPU:RAM thing on to run stable in prime95 for more than 5 minutes . I wonder how far I can get now... EDITv4.0: Wewt, got it to 6 minutes before it errored! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 I didn't think AMD's or nForce2 boards liked the CPU and RAM Async? Or it's not recommended to run it like that... or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 EDITv4.0: Wewt, got it to 6 minutes before it errored! Yikes! Very unstable. You need a bare minimum of six hours no errors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spathalogic Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Very unstable? I've been running this all night with F@H and playing games... nothing. Extremely low temps (34C max, but it also is about 60 degrees here) . I've decided to basically ignore this because: A) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Well, everyone's free to do as they please, but you have found a program that reveals a hardware problem-Prime95. I guess it's just a question of what you're willing to live with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spathalogic Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Well; when I get a new CPU. I'll be diehard going 100% stable . Oh; just lapped my heatsink and put a new coat of AS5 on; I need to let the AS5 "settle" or whatever now.. grr.. 8 day wait . The temps arent noticebly cooler; but I guess i'll wait until the AS5 is settled to log the temps . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
