Shadow of chaos Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Hi, i am having trouble ocing my comp.. i now have a different cored CPU as when i was using my winchester my prommy didnt like it and decided to freeze up all the time. Now im stable, got windows to install and installed half life 2 and stuff. I have tried overclocking, but i cant get stability.. i have been trying most of the day yesterday. The timings i have used for my memory were the ones that viper john listed on these forums which are listed here Anyway, since i couldnt get 300 FSB stable even at 8.0 multiplier i tried for the highest i could get.. and this screenshot was it. I havent tried much lower on the memory, as i know i can get a big oc on my cpu.. and should hit 3.0ghz under this prommy. Can anyone help? starting to get annoyed already with this.

SAE Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Man, I also had some problems with 300MHz HTT+ as it was impossible to boot up windows or memtest with each HTT/RAM divider. It just hung there. Do you get this high? Can you boot into OS with 300fsb 1:1? I cannot use 1:1 since I have bh-5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow of chaos Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 The screenshot gave me stability in half life 2 for about 30 min until i got a memory error. Prime 95 blend test failed in 3 min. This ram is rated pc 4800, i should get 300FSB with no problems at all.. this is what is annoying me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow of chaos Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Btw SAE how do you plug in the USB connector coming from the Mach II unit onto your USB pins on the mobo? it doesnt show you an illistration in the manual it is pretty useless.. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAE Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Yeah... I am using it. You just have to plug it to the upper row of the onboard connectors with the black wire (ground) pointing to the left. That works 100% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow of chaos Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 thanks, ill give it a go later. so anyone else, any ideas why i cant get stability? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAE Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 A friend told me, there were also problems with his TCCD and this DFI. He had to up vdimm to 3V iirc. Try that as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow of chaos Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 just tried letting prime run overnight but this time at 270FSB same timings except i increased the Vdimm to 2.9v, it was stable for 9 hours and 5 minutes and then it failed.. it says "FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4" Not liking this already, i will try 3.0.. but i dont think im going to get any luck, which isnt really any different with my past ocing problems EDIT: turns out i had already set the vdimm to 3.0... so i try 3.10 now :confused: also, im not familiar with the bios too much, do i need to set the bus transfer width lower than 16 down and 16 up? .. i dont know if its all set up correctly so im afraid im stuck. Here is another picture, are my timings correct? i need to make sure here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAE Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I 'd suggest ya to lower the LDT multiplier one notch as well... some peeps are having problems at high ram clocks. ( I had to set it to 3x at 270MHz 1:1) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
