UghMAS Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 I recieved my lanparty UT with great excitement to replace my flaky epox board. So I installed it reformatted etc and got everything how i wanted it as usual. so of course my next step was overclocking. Ive been playing with the bios for hours on end and i cant even get 2.3 ghz stable (using memory dividers too) prime fails in less than a minute... any setting suggestions? yes i tried 3x htt ive trided 10x multi, 9x multi, 9.5 multi, etc...it just dosent want to be stable. any setting reccomendations? im on stock cooling. I was using 1.55 +4% and it was still running cool...i think ill work on oc'ing my vid card while i un-frustrate about my cpu. its revision CG feel free to ask questions etc (its 2:30 so this post might be a little incoherent ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 if you havent given this a read, try it out: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread...=&threadid=3846 also check the non-critical sticky in that section for some RAM settings (in nice bold colors! lower down in the thread) i dont see you saying you lowered your RAM timings at all...trying to 2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 might not work out so well. have you tried cranking up the voltage to max on the RAM? upping AGP voltage a bit? realize that a 3000+ is not always going to be a crazy monster overclocker. The newest, latest greatest A64 754's can sometimes be kick butt clockers, but almost all of them are DTR and more often Mobile cpu's. Desktop NC's and CH's might give you a good clocker randomly, but for the most part, DTR/Mobile is the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UghMAS Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 shouldnt the ram timings be able to remain tight if running with a divider at or below stock 200 mhz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 usually but not always nothing is 'a given' when overclocking. You have to remember you are stressing the hell out of an item when overclocking it. Even at a ratio I've found sometimes that I have to loosen the timings.

UghMAS Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 oh ok.... i just ran prime on 2.2 ghz and it failed after 24 minutes im going to try loosening the timings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGone Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Corsair XMS 3200PTC2 Ain't that stuff older BH5/6? Needs voltage if it is. RGone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UghMAS Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 im not sure, i got it in sept. off newegg for 220 or so i think ... must be bh6 what do you think an appropriate voltage would be, 2.9? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 3.2v or whatever maximum you can give it if it is bh5/bh6 then 3.3-3.6v would be awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UghMAS Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 oh ok...maybe ill get the bois that has the 4.1v adjustment... just tried 242x9.5 (2.3ghz) ram at 3v with the 166 divider 3x htf cpu 1.55 +4% chipset 1.7v and again prime failed in less than a minute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDizzle Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 If you got your ram in September of 2004 then the stuff definately is not BH5/BH6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UghMAS Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 what is it if its not tccd/bh6/bh5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
