2 all d oc sifus out there i need some help...

i got dis stupid board... asus an8-e nf4 ultra

i giv d full specs of my rig 1st

amd venice 3000+ wif as5 DAA 4BP YBBLE 0525 DPBW (good steping?)

asus an8-e nf4 ultra

corsair xms black 5.2 2x512 (promos chip) managed 250-2.5-3-3-8-1T-2.95V on northwood

CM 550W

x850xt power color vivo

it can't even do 220 =.=" damn lame...

i tried 220 wif 1.5V vcore, 3V vdimm, htt 4x and 5x all cannot... will cause spike lag in game =.="

any1 care 2 advise me? i m a bit noob in o/c amd...

tried flashing the bios? asus's bioses lately has been pretty good..

not everything is pushing the volts.. ram even though it does well on intel doesn't mean it'll do the same on A64.. just try around.. maybe try a stick of ram and see how it goes.. and flash your bios..

ermm.. i flashed it to the latest wor...

kk... i will try playing around wif d rams...

realy sucky cannot even o/c 10%... haih

cool man.. OC is not can be done in single day
might be more depend on the setting, combination etc..

btw, nice rig u got there

hmmm hmmm... but i cannot OC at all? no evern 10% =.="

any1 got d same board?

use LDT 3x....that's will be help

errr... wat's that? care 2 help?

i m used 2 oc using bios... very good wif northwood p4p800p deluxe

but wif an8-e is crap...

n my prob stepping very good rite? from wat i heard

What BIOS u using? Award? American Megatrends?

i dunno wat bios is dis

but i flashed it using asus update... from asus website 1

Asus boards use a custom version of the AMI BIOS. And you should flash from DOS instead of using Live Update.

Try playing around more with your settings and read the A64 Overclocking guides at DFI-Street and other forums.

220? what was the multiplier you used?

i dont think its stepping. most Venice 3000+ can go to 2.5GHz. gems can go up to 3.0GHz. any idea what chipset ur corsairs r using?

btw, whats "spike lag" anyway?

Mine also reached 2.5Ghz with 1.4vcore, stable prime95 test... i am using ASUS A8N-SLI, should be can overclocked, check ur ram settings, like ddr400, ddr333, if FSB to high lower the ram to ddr333, plus set the hyper transport multiplier to 4, HT mhz should not exceed 1000... plus not everything rely's on voltages, some might fail if voltage to high

ic...i know now...maybe ur using sata port 1 or 2.try change sata port to 3 or 4.sata port 1 and 2 is unlock.that's why lar can reach more than 220mhz

ASUS A8N-E user here.
Try to set your LDT to 4x or 3x.





I am using value RAM. So I have to set the memory divider to 333. The timing can be tighter to 2.5-3-3-7-1T... forgot to do that... now doing it...

only applies to NF3 Ultra chipset

i used 9x

mine is promos... should b able to do 250< ... last time ppl manage 2 get 270

i tried it wif my northwood @250 last time... no time 2 push higher coz sold it off

ermm... when i was playing war3 ... i get dis lag... like when u r dotaing on9 type of lag... but i m playing wif com... after i stop ocing... d spike lag goes away... y ar?


wat's LDT? nvr hear b4... can some sifu help me out here...

if you want to know how to set your LDT, see at your mobo's manual...
turn to page 2-21 and page 2-22... you'll see it's all about Advanced Menu at your BIOS..Go to 'CPU Configuration' > 'Hyper Transport Frequency'. That's your mobo's LDT setting. Usually it will set Auto.Then if you want to OC, u need to change this method bcoz HT link cannot exceed 2000MHZ, means the calc (LDT*HTT*2). for example mine here, HTT=250, LDT=4 then (250*4*2=2000)

Yeah, that's our sifoo giving his experince of using the same mobo. His PC pretty 'cool' actually overclocking the X2.

Precautions:
- Have you disabled Cool n Quiet in the BIOS?
- Have you tried the latest nVidia chipset drivers?
- Already lowered your LDT multiplier?

LDT multiplier is also called HT multiplier in certain mobos, you might wanna check that. The default (AUTO) is 5x. With 4x, you can increase the HTT up to 250mhz. Higher than that you probably need 3x.

Hypertransport = HTT x LDT(or HT) multi <= 1000mhz

wah!!! this mobo is really limited for OCing la...my X2 can't go any further than 2.7GHz because of limit Vcore that only 1.5v
