Homer-Mix Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Well, I oced my X2 a few months ago, without playing too much with my RAM. last week i wanted to do it more seriously, so i started the whole process from the beginning one more time. well, first i looked al the limits of the board. Set the ram divider down to 200MHZ and set light timings, and set the CPU multiplier to 4x. The HT multiplicator was set to 4x and above 250 HTT to 3x the board still worked stable at 325x4 (using a dual prime test for about 18 hours), it stopped there,since this would be enough. then i wanted to go to the second step, trying out what the CPU gives me. 257*11 worked fine, which means 2827 MHZ. 269*10,5 also (2824 MHZ). and now comes the point: 282*10 (2820mhz) doesnt wanna work stable,neither 296*9.5(2812 mhz) nor 313*9 (2817mhz).however 282*9,5, 296*9 and 313*8,5 work fine.now whats going wrong? 2827 are reachable with this cpu at 1,40 Vcore, why doesnt it work with the higher HTT values though the Speed is slower and the board doesnt make any problems? I need the higher HTT since i can only run the RAM at 333MHZ as i use all 4 slots. PCI and PCI-e frequency are locked. can anyone explain me what is wrong?

hardnrg Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 313 * 166/200 = 260mhz ram speed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer-Mix Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) for Ocing the CPU i used the 266 and later 200 divider.... 333 is the divider i wanna use to get the Ram to its final values. thus the ram didnt come above 200 mhz, while testing the cpu, and for sure not at 282 HTT. in other words, the RAM was underclocked while i encountered this issues...

Weee Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Well, for one thing those x.5 multipliers are a little bit strange, you might want to check in clockgen or cpu-z and see what the actual memory speeds are ending up. I had many strange stability issues having it like very specific settings on my deluxe board as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer-Mix Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 269*10,5: 178 MHZ memory 282*10: 187Mhz memory 296*9,5: 196 MHZ memory 313*9: 157 MHZ (setting RAM to 200 instead of 266) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weee Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 could you post an a64 tweaker shot for your other settings also? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer-Mix Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) well,which values do you need exactly? this are the settings i run stable. when i increase the HTT,i put the ram to 200 instead of 333 and loosen the timings. Edit: obviously im too dumb to ad the attachment,so just tell me what values you need. command rate is set to 2T k, by using only 2 of the corsairs, i get them running fine. well,seems as if there is no way to get them running Oced all at the same time. i`ll have to stay at 257*11 annd the ram running at 200MHZ with the tight timings, since gaming performance is more impotant to me than benchmark results. too bad *lol* thx for trying helping me RE-Edit. well, i musst correct the statement, RAM can be OCed over 290 MHZ (didnt try further) and runs memtest stable. however Prime 95 Still gives me errors... so i`m back at the beginnig *lol* Edited January 7, 2006 by Homer-Mix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
