safety is not an issue if u do it in bios or eztune... both ways are okay.... just make sure the setting that u set using eztune is permanent even though after u restart... but afaik tweaking using bios will confirm permanent but sometimes if i crash too many times the bios will go back to default...

Guys,

Question, Does Gigabyte mobo (especially P35 series) has incompability issue with Crucial Ballistix Ram?

Since I got Random BSOD with the same setting... after a while using this Crucial Ballistix, eventhough previously the Corsair XMS2 did not have..

PS: Unfortunately Corsair can't really oc high.. unlike Ballistix (u gotta love them..)

i had both ballistix tracer n non-tracer pc2-6400 with my previous p35-ds3 n i can hit past 1000mhz 5-5-5-15 @1.9v stable with the non-tracer ones

but the tracer ones need 2.2v to get past 950mhz 5-5-5-15 though

i suspected the instability is due to the hotness of tracer...but i am not really sure on this...

maybe u can ask shawty?

I have used Gigabyte P35-DS3 (rev 1.0 and 2.0) and DFI blood Iron P35 without any problems. Either with the crucial ballistix or crucial 10th anni....

Try using just one stick and see whether the problem still persist.... it could be a defective ram module...

Ok HEre's the story..

I bought 4x1Gb Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC8500 from LYN forumer, then after a while,( Less than 2 weeks).. The comp refuses to Boot,

Found out 1 piece Rosak and have to RMA .. so Send to SHawty... And after that I bought the 2x2gb PC6400 normal Crucial Ballistix..since thinking to upgrade to 8gb...

And it was running normal..... UNTIL.... i changed my Casing.. from iCute to CM690.... I didn't take out the proc nor the Ram....

Then ... it happens... Random BSOD with the same Setting as before....

When i Did Stress test using Orhtos.... 2 hours was normal... but then when I start doing browsing, listen to winamp.... or even open normal spreadsheet.. the Its happen.... BSOD...

when reading from the net.. some ppl having problem with DS3L and Ballistix...

BTW I've run it on 1066 Mhz now with 2.1v dimm and 5-5-5-15 so far so good, 3 hours... (exception the Proc not overclocked)

here i come again...
with my major & regular problem...CPU TEMP...
i got the Tuniq TX-2 today..
then i apply la to my proc...then pasang punye pasang...
check the temp ...hot lor...

idle

[attachmentid=445398]

load

[attachmentid=445401]


i dunno what is the main problem why me temp is hot compare to the others...
-3.2Ghz
-default vcore
-tuniq tx-2

then ape lg yg x kena...

Wow! That's hot.... when I overclocked my previous E6750 @ 3.5Ghz @ 1.425v BIOS set, my core temperature on 100% orthos load was about 60'c only..... that's on my xigmatek + naked rig....

ya2...i see...
the other user ok jer temp dey all..
but what happen to me..haiiyooo..
one forumer also use e6750 + hyper 212...3.4GHz load 50c jer...

Even with Max Orb can obtain temp at 55C at load.

have u checked ur HSF base contact with the proc?

did u apply the TIM evenly... cos air bubble trapped also can reduce performance

err bro sukatra_aicaca..have u update ur bios?
cause b4 this my fren also faced same problem as u..
just realize my fren also use same mobo as u..
maybe u should try first

@tkh_101
yes..i checked oredi...
i buang balik TIM tu,then i apply back....
then..my temp reduce...hihi..
idle around 36c...load around 49c...
now running on 3.4GHz

@fesick
i already update my bios...1 month ago..

help! help!
i update my bios juz now...
then when i wanna enter bios, this come out

[attachmentid=446807]

what is the password actually?

clear ur cmos, or plug out the battery to clear it, then it should be unlocked..

yahaha...orait...problem solve already..

49c on stress load eh?

dunno which part want to forward my topic...

ok.plz mee.... i've a problem with cpuz..

1. i've setting at bios to OC my proc from 2.13 to 3.2 which mean 400x8=3.2Ghz
2. i've also disable cpu features except thermal control
3. i've increase cpu voltage to 1.345v, 2.0v for ddr, at other setting (forget lorr doh.gif )
4. ok the problem is, at bios before detect ram and ram, is stated my proc is 3.2ghz and then i enter delete, i check at my bios blue screen is also 3.2ghz ... temp is 50 degree

the problem is.... when log on window, i check through cpuz, my core speed is 2.66x8=2.13 ... not stated 400mhz 3.2ghz....

can anyone help me????

dunno which thread to ask...plz help...
i've a problem with latest cpuz..

yaa on load...
but now the temp not stable la...
become hot...
load around 65c..

What is your setup/configuration?

It is possible that your rig reset due to unstable overclock.....

r u sure it x8?mybe it x6 only bcoz not full load....

yup, i'm very very sure... at bios and cpuz stated x8, only at cpuz it detect 267mhz not 400mhz as i set at bios ...

at bios : i set external clock = 400mhz, multiplier=8, dram speed=1:1, pcie freq=100mhz, cpu core volt=1.345v, ddr2 vol=2v, cpu vtt volt=1.275v(highest), ich 1.5v=1.55v, mch 1.25v=1.29v, cpu gtlref=67%(highest)
i've disable cie, eist at cpu features...

*i'm using e6400 and abit ip35-e

hmmm,if my rig reset but y at bios it stated 3.2 hgz ??

full load on room temp = 65c normal i think..
but the temp still high tho..
cause my oc rig run full load only around 55c on room temp..

erm...try running ur rig half-naked n see how it goes... ur casing ventilation u got check liao?

half naked...no change...
casing ventilation?14cm front intake + 12cm rear exhaust(server fan)....also no change....
2 fans on hyper 212...


i realize that my proc surface tak rata...there's a little bit lengkuk kat tepi..
is that normal?

just wanna ask sum tips for old skool oc ... anybody ever oc Infineon BE-5 rams? any tips about this rams?

cool stuff

um i need help. i oced my e8200 from 333*8 to 341*8. my problem is that i cant go any higher than 341 or the black screen of death will appear. i am using maximus formula and ocz ddr2 800. new at oc-ing here

lol..well guess al the tips u wanted, consider it from experience and do it live to prove to u..well..under certain circumstances, i believe..like overclocking, not really promising to tell coz the results may differ from the experts say...

er... i just need to know what to do. i am pushing it at stock volt but dunno y stuck there. i suspect the rams. but i dunno what to do with the rams.

try increase ur vdimm n see if it is working... if not, that means its time to increase ur vcore cos ur proc has reached its limit on stock vcore....

oh..u nid to play wif the vcore and vdimm..test c whether how far ur ram can go..and how tight can it b...

Hi....need some help here for any1 with similar hardware or just knowing whats going on

Went over to a friends house and tried oc-ing his rig. Specs as follows

Intel C2D E4400 L2 stepping @2Ghz with stock cooler
Gigabyte 965P DS3
2x1GB Kingston DDR2 667 value ram

Just decided to try a safe oc so left everything at default, let the bios decide on voltages, raised the fsb to 266(266x10=2.66ghz) and dropped the memory multiplier so that the ram runs at around DDR700. Everything loaded fine into windows and the bios set the core voltage at a rather high 1.4v Ran orthos blend test and it failed after 35 mins. Temps were quite high though reaching around 75C. Ok, went back to bios, and this time tried going for lower, this time 2.5ghz(FSB250). Reduced voltages also to 1.36v(1.32 after vdroop). This time orthos failed after 10 mins. Temps were still around 70C. So am wondering whats the prob. Is there anything wrong with my settings? Or proc is a total dud? Or the temps are too high? Any help will be apreciated

Do with stock vcore first and do 266x8,see does it work Then 266x9,and up to 333x9,try it step by step and use as minimum vcore as possible

Hmm......will try that nextime Btw anything to look out for when oc-ing on 965 chipset? Like when need to pump fsb voltage and whats the average max fsb for this chipset?

that will depend on ur mobo regardless the chipset they used.

oh i see. i will try it. see whether can go any higher.

Added on May 5, 2008, 3:46 pmjust to tell u guys, i am now running at 450*8= 3600MHz for cpu and 5-5-5-15
450MHz for the single channel 1GB rams all at stock voltage. now i am oc-ing my cpu to 3.0GHz and 400MHz 5-5-5-15 for rams how do i make the timing tight??? must i alter the voltage first or change the timing first??

Hi guys and girls..

Want to ask:

E2160 @ stock speed @ stock cooling - what temp?

@ 3.0GHz @ stock cooling - what temp?

thanks..

E2160 @ stock speed @ stock cooling - 40~45c

@ 3.0GHz @ stock cooling - 60~65c

depend on ur airflow and casing. this is my reading in closed casing. bare system may differ though

Mine idle 43.. full load 68

u kidding me,....I think the AMD phenom is way better than any intel Core2Duo or extreme or watever. sorry but not just me, event the intel says that AMD processor is affordable and better ......

There are plenty of reviews on the Internet and most of the time, Intel performs better on the same task if compared to AMD. I used to be an AMD fanboy but Intel is the way to go these days.

more affordable? yes,
performs better? no.

Hi All, I am currently running my E8400 + Gigabyte P35-DS3 at 3.6GHz (400*9). Vcore has been raised to 1.28V in BIOS (shown 1.248V in CPU-Z). The system run stably without any error with Max temperature at 65 deg C.

However when I tried to increase FSB to 420MHz, it started to show error in Orthos. Even after increasing VCore to 1.325V in BIOS, the same thing happen. It will halt after running Orthos for 10 min.

What's the possible culprit behind this? Is it because of the RAM? I tried to adjust the RAM Voltage by +0.1V in BIOS but to no avail.

BTW FSB:DRAM is at 1:1.

Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks.

The culprit is your Vmch... Add it by 0.1v.

Try lower vdimm,lossen timing

Try not to go over 60, safer tat way, try for the best compromise between heat, and performance, vcore....I advise against it coz procs will fry prematurely if vcore touched.

aye? intel got fsb wall that low? furthermore u're using giga ds3..

most probably due to de e4400 imo...
cos from wat i saw on de net...its not quite a good overclocker
