johnrr6 Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 Here's a blank chart I made up to help your overclocking, or to just get stable settings on the NF4 boards----should apply for all versions.... Got the idea from masterwoot ----edited his and made an updated version----thanks masterwoot!!.... Got tired of all my scrap paper lying around with settings scribbled on them... Time to get ORGANIZED! Will post the link in the NF4 BIOS Memory Guide as well. Prints fine off of IE----set your margins to .5 inch both sides in page setup before you print----leave in "Portrait" mode. It may take a few seconds to load...

timko Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 Very nice John, I've already got way too many scraps of paper flying about with scruffy tables of OC settings etc This should prove useful too... Here's a handy table that I quickly built up in Excel... Left hand side is the setting for "CPU VID Control" Top row is for "CPU VID Special Control" Actual voltage it works out as is in the middle. Eg "CPU VID Control" set to 1.1v and "CPU VID Special Control" set to Above VID * 113% would give you *approx* 1.243v For quick reference... Green is 1 to 1.399 Yellow is 1.4 to 1.599 Pink is 1.6 to 2.125 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it needs to be in there-----especially for newcomers... I understand that it shows "approximate" voltages John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnrr6 Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 I have posted the Updated Bios Chart link inside the NF4 Bios Memory Guide sticky. In the future, you'll always be able to find it there. Thanks again masterwoot for the idea..... John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Nice chart.. I was thinking of doing the same and have rows on the bottom for primed hours.. mem scores.. 3dmark scores.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blooz1 Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Those charts are GREAT, gentlemen! Last year I made such a chart for BIOS settings on my Socket A boards, and found it very helpful, both for organization and for reference purposes. Although I'm a newb to this A64 world, and running Socket 754 at that, I plan to put these to good use! (I'll modify the memory chart for 754) Just yesterday I was wishing there was some sort of chart to easily figure out voltages without paper and a calculator! Thanks again, Blooz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnrr6 Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Nice chart.. I was thinking of doing the same and have rows on the bottom for primed hours.. mem scores.. 3dmark scores.. Was gonna do the same but everyone has their own favorite benchmarks/tests----wasn't sure if it was worth the effort: I'm thinking : Sandra SuperPi 1 Meg SuperPi 32 Meg 3dmark 01 3dmark 03 3dmark 05 PCMark 04 3dMark 01 Looped for 6 hours Prime 95 for 6 hours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCCT.. Everest.. I wouldnt worry about putting Prime 95 "for 6 hours".. You could just put Prime and in that box people can put how many hours they ran it.. well thats if you are gona edit it..hehe..

Thanks----now i gotta decide if I want to do it---refit it to one page.... You're right about Prime-----EVERYONE has their own opinion..... I know one guy who will absolutely swear that a rig is NOT stable unless it can run TWO versions of Prime simutaneously for over 24 hours.... Bit of an overkill if you ask me.... I know another guy who claims that if Prime will pass 12 minutes----that statistically you have better than a 90% chance that your rig is stable----or "stable enough" I tried his theory and found him "pretty much on" When I test a certain group of settings----if Prime will pass 12 minutes----I up the FSB or some other settings until she can't pass the 12 minute mark It's not "dyed in the wool----but is a good way to quickly get you in the stability ballpark. As far as Prime is concerned.... And that's if you trust Prime..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 I agree about prime.. I NEVER bash peoples opinion about how long they run it.. But to ME normally 6-8 hours is fine.. Honestly, now I just to do the 30min test with OCCT.. If it passes that then normally its pretty dam stable for what I do.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blooz1 Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 I also find OCCT to be a pretty good quick and dirty indication of stability. It seems to do a very good job of stressing components! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
