dangerousfigure Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 ok so i am not new to over clocking but i am new to overclocking a64 chips, i have had an fx-55 since 3 days after they were released and i never oced it, so i talked with bigred and asked him what is a normal oc for the chip, he said around 3.6,and mine is not even coming close to that here are my system stats fx-55 msi neo4 plat antec true 550 v2 psu xfx 7800gtx oc 1gig 2x512 corsair xl 2-2-2-5-1t creative x-fi ok so i set the multi to 14 14x200 = 2.8 i am just messing with the multi as i dont want to lower my ram timing or oc the ram it boots at 2.8 but fails p95 with in the 60seconds so i tried uping the vcore 1.55,1.60,1.65 still failed, and at any other multi the system fails to boot.... no matter what the vcore any ideas? i also have a dfi ultra-d i dont use i may try to swap this board out and use it to oc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_lag Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 yes i would defenitly try out the DFI, as u are better off OC'in with that then an MSI.....(MSI's are still good for OC'n, just....DFI's better at it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flashstar Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Or you could try an ABIT Fatal1ty AN8 SLI. I've had great luck with them. Just make sure to set 2t timings if you run it at over 255htt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now why in God's name would he go out and buy an overpriced piece of junk that doesn't perform NEARLY as well as the DFI will?

silkster Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Didn't you awhile back say you wanted to sell an AMD FX chip because it felt no faster than your 3.0C P4??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 i firmly believe the dfi nf4 voltage regulation is the reason why the highest oc's are almost all on the dfi nf4 series... so far on the ultra-d if have oc'd FOUR cpus... 3500+ @ 2.92GHz 146 @ 3.05GHz 146 @ 3.07GHz 148 @ 3.00GHz the 3500+ can only just manage 2.81GHz on my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum the ultra-d and fx-55 would be a nice match... are you using the stock (heatpiped) cooler?

Kash Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 are you using the stock (heatpiped) cooler? 598607[/snapback] It didn't even cross my mind to ask that question. I figured BigRed would have mentioned something about better cooling when dangerousfigure talked to him earlier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Well for one I think you are shooting too high. 3.6ghz is not the average on an air cooled fx55 but at the same time 2.8ghz is still a little weak to me. 3ghz seems to be more average for these on air (especially if it is stock air).

dangerousfigure Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 well like i said i am no where near being new to over clocking, no i am not using the stock cooler i have a thermalright xp-90 with a panaflo 92mm fan as5 32c idle 40c-45c load on stock settings, 1*C higher when set to 2.8 i failed to mention it does boot at 3.2ghz but gets all buggy even with 1.65 being pumped into it ans my case has 5 120mm fans / all silent moving around 120cfm each at around under 25db so my case and video stay very cool so heat is no issue i really think its the msi board i am pumping 1.65 into the chip and 2.7 into them mem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 definitely ultra-d time... i thought your sig said neo4 at first... now that i see it's neo2 then i say make the switch... because my main two rigs use these boards and i've oc'd on both of them and the difference is definitely there...

Zofo Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I run the Fatal1ty board and i havent had any problems thus far the only weird thing there is, is having to deal with the ram divider not being a set option - instead its kinda a secondary between two selectable ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
