stowenrat Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 If you are using sata 1 or 2 swap to 3 or 4. I have just been advised that it would work, so I swapped from sata1 to sata3 and am now at 330 htt on my first go! I was told it was a well known fault Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scyphe Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 330???????? you jumped from 230 to 330???????? and the solution isn't optimal for those with more than 2 S-ATA drives..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stowenrat Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 Looking at your sig it says you have 2?? And yep 230 to 330! Apperently it is well known although I only heard about it today:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scyphe Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 I am planning on replacing my 2 IDE drives with S-ATA disks instead. Anyway, I've stumbled onto a new problem (I'm running in 270, won't boot anything higher than that, most probably a RAM-issue). No matter what settings I use in BIOS, I can't get the RAM-speed higher than 3.5Gb/s in Sandra memtest. Settings: FSB/HTT: 270 RAM-Ratio: 183(9:10, can't even boot at 260 with 1:1) LDS/HTT multi: 4x (tried 2.5x, 3x, 4x, Auto) VDIMM: 3.0 CPU Multi: 9.5x [bimg]http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/3591mhz_ram.jpg[/bimg] Note that I use 2.0-2-2-2-1T timings (tightest) set in BIOS (I've tried 2.5-3-3-7-2T etc.), not by SPD. In sandra it says that FSB is 2x606 which is VERY weird. No matter what settings I use, the RAM clocks in @ ~3.5-3.6Gb/s.

Guest MaD Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 im using a single ide ata drive and dvd drive/dvd writer and i cant oc my ram over 230 so yeah... disabled both SATA drives .. still wont oc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scyphe Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 Don't disable them, just move the S-ATA cable to S-ATA 3. Let both S-ATA controllers be enabled. I moved my cables from S-ATA 1&2 to 3&4 and suddenly I could jump from FSB/HTT 230 to 270. EDIT: Oh, sorry, I misread that.

stowenrat Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 @scyphe, I get the same bandwidth score as you it is testeing your memory only which is on a divider so it seems about right to me, if a little low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scyphe Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 I don't get any advantages @ 9.5*270 vs 11*230 RAMWise or CPUWise. At 11*230 Sandra seems to fetch the correct data while at 9.5*270 I get those weird FSB-values, like the motherboard automatically lowers the HTT.
