Nothing to be afraid of, just pray that your house power will not trip off when u're flashing your bios

hehe....

hopefully....

i think tonight i might go and get myself a new PSU.

maybe wud do flashing after that ....

hehe....

between the mantarayz and taipan,

which one is suitable for a 256mb single sided ram x 2.

I prefer Taipan...

Me second on that

ok ...

then its taipan it is for tonite's main activity


the flashing of taipan...

just so i dunt go wrong.

All the best!!! remember to post some results after you've flashed the bios

haha...

have not flashed yet,

maybe wud install the new CoolerMaster 450-aclx first.

just got it this evening.

hopefully to see a better result after flashing.

After u flash the bios, list these here :

current Vcore w/temp reading
current Vdimm w/timing
current FSB
current multiplier
current divider

we'll help u squeeze out the last drop oc'ability of it...

Yesterday test my ABIT NF7 Rev2.0 with D26 Mantarays XT 1T bios

Spec:
Applebred 1600+
3 x TwinMOS Winbond UTT 256MB = 768MB total

Vdimm still at 3.2v

Can boot with bios up to 245MHz with 2-3-2-11 timing...

wow this the highest i able to achive so far with 3stick of memory.... i think can go higher if i add more vdimm

will mod it today if can find time & resistor...

I did 3.3V = Vdimm mod btw

I am currently running at 195 x 10 @ 1.85v (but it goes up and down) Fluctuating i think.

VDimm at 2.6v @ 3 - 4- 4 -8 after priming for 15 hours no prob.

No errors no warnings. i cud even watch a movie, still no prob. hehe...

Temp is Low compared to before which is 56c - 57c at FULL LOAD.

NOw is 51c at FULL LOAD.

yeaha.....

but my ram still suck at 380mhz, at stock it was 408mhz.

erm..

i bought the CM 45o purepower PSU. but did nothave the time to install yet.

maybe tonite.

1 - try lower multi n crank up the fsb.

2- when u raised fsb, raised vdimm 1 notch to 2.7 when it pass 200fsb.

3 - Let say, ur target is 2G, if u're able to get 2G, try to thighten the ram timing. try 2.5-4-4-8, prime for 30minutes but with priority level 9. if succeded, lower it again to 2.5-3-3-8, prime again. until u hit the wall for the ram.

try these timing :
current :
3-4-4-8

to test :
1st - 2.5-4-4-8
2nd- 2.5-3-3-8
3rd - 2.5-2-3-8
4th- 2.5-2-2-8

if u're able to get 2.5-2-2-8, try :
2-3-3-8
2-3-2-11

if u succeded, then :
2-2-2-11


have any enquiry or question.... u know where to find me....

a little "idola" for u :

Wahh lama benor aku tak OC..
Dulu pernah test D26 MantaRays XT CPC ON..
Dengan PSU cap ayam pernah cecah 255Mhz FSB hehehe..
Skarang aku tak OC dah..Guna Official BIOS D26 jerk..
Tapi bila baca thread nih rasa nak start main balik..
So mana lagi best utk performance 1T vs 2T?
Aku guna 2 x KVR 512MB DDR400 Hynix TP-D43 (Single Sided)..
D26 Mantarays XT @ Taipan @ Merlin?
Wokeh cuns!!~

use mantaray xt 2t for highest stability and fsb

Hurms dulu aku guna D26 MantaRays XT CPC ON..
1T kan?Bukan ker performance CPC ON better than CPC Off?
Yaps memang btul CPC Off leh dapat lagi tinggi FSB tapi performance?
Hehehe..

this is the latest result as of last nite....

thanks to satanhead, maybe cud try ur settings tonite.....







any comments. thanks.

hmm, try lower the multiplier and pump up your fsb.. i'm running Mantaray D26 XT @ 225*9 for 24/7

last nite i did manage to do,

210 x 9 and prime95 for around 8 hours already, no prob.

maybe when i go home today try to up to 220.



I tried running at 2.1Ghz using NVNF2. but while priming no prob,

while priming + a movie, it hang's

so.. i was thinking of trying it today using bios.

any differences ? setting the fsb at windows or bios ?

its better to set fsb in bios, i believe its more stable compared to setting it in windows and btw, you're feeding quite alot of voltage to your processor, i'm running fine @ 2ghz on 1.725v you might want to consider lower down the voltage

yeah...

maybe should lower it .....

i was feeding it 1.85v before.. hehe...

anyways...

today might up the fsb and reconfigure the bios.

hehe...

thanks for the tip incinerate

no problem, happy ocing
