jaco,

 

Just cause it doesn't work when overclocked doesn't mean it's faulty. If it happens at stock settings, i agree with you. There can be so many variables to what you are seeing. Is the videocard waterclocked as well? How was windows installed? With Apic?

Does it ever lock up in memtest?

your mobile xp needs 1.975v :eek: to run 220*11,5 ?

Hi jaco,

 

His: Thermalright SP-97 w/ 92mm Enermax/80mm coolermaster case fan on top w/ spacer @ 2700RPM.

 

Yours: "watercooled".

 

Uhhh, what's the purpose of watercooling? ;)

videocard is not watercooled , but i have a zalman HP80 with a fan.I never tried to install windows without APIC. You just disable it in BIOS and install windows ?

No lockups in memtest. How many passes do you need to call it stable ?

One point that BTank raised seemed to be over looked is the VDIMM controller and mosfets right next to the DIMM slots. The VDIMM controller can approach 80c and the mosfets between 60-75c cooliing these has shown a large improvement in many cases regarding stability @ 3v or higher.

Hello all,

 

My LanParty is at the testbench again.

LP%20003.jpg

 

hardware :

- DFI LanParty rev B - Xp m 2600 - coolermaster sink & fan - 256 Mb TwinMos BH-5 - Maxtor 40Gb pata - Geforce3 Ti200 - DVD-rom - 300W noname PSU

 

WinXP is installed with APIC disabled. I installed all software in the correct order, like in the 'Important Information - Look Here!' -thread. Bios 31/1

 

Current settings 200*11 , vcore 1,6v all other voltages 'auto'.

Memory 2-2-2-2-6

 

I will add some fans for extra cooling of the mosfets.

 

No nasty freezes or lock-ups anymore , system seems rock solid.

 

Not sure if my problem is solved now , I need to do more testing !
