I have mobo same like u. Maybe u can follow this instruction. wink.gif

CODE
1. Yes, you can flash your bios with winflash. Just be sure you don't use the utility the motherboard came with to flash your bios. All the settings below worked for me with the 01/19/2006 Foxconn bios.

2. In your bios go to BIOS FEATURES press enter. This is the second option in the main BIOS menu.

In the BIOS FEATURES menu go to the fourth option SUPERSPEED press enter.

Here you will get a few choices the most important being:

A. PERFORMANCE OPTION----->CPU FREQUENCY----->This can be set between 200 to 450, but you will not be able to go beyond 275 in the bios.

B. HAMMER FID CONTROL--->This option controls the cpu's multiplier. You can probably set yours from 11 on down to 4. Remember CPU FREQUENCY X HAMMER FID CONTROL=CPU SPEED! I would probably set this to 10 and try for 250 on the fsb.
EXAMPLE: 250Mhz X 10 = 2.5 GHZ

C. HAMMER VID CONTROL--->This option controls your cpu's core voltage. You should probably leave this setting alone if you don't plan to overclock too much.

D. VDIMM VOLTAGE SELECT---> You will probably want to leave it at default for now.

E. VCORE VOLTAGE SELECT---> This setting adds an adjustment to your HAMMER VID CONTROL. So HAMMER VID CONTROL + VCORE VOLTAGE SELECT = CPU VOLTAGE
EXAMPLE: 1.344v + .020mv = 1.364v


3. Go back to the main BIOS menu. From here choose the 4th option ADVANCED CHIPSET FEATURES. Once in the following menu you will get a few more choices:

A. DRAM CONFIGURATION---> This will let you adjust your ram timings and divider.
Under DRAM CONFIGURATION set the options TIMING MODE and USER CONFIG MODE to manual. TIMING MODE will let you set your fsb/ram ratio to 1:1 by setting it to 200. USER CONFIG MODE will allow you to set your COMMAND RATE to 1T or 2T.

B. K8<->NB HT SPEED---> You will have to set this to 4 if you plan to overclock even a little over the default 200 CPU FREQUENCY.

C. NB-->SB HT SPEED---> Same as above

D. NB<--SB HT SPEED---> Same as above

For ur info, multiplier 9x for 3000+ and 10x for 3200+ only. icon_rolleyes.gif

multiplier lock at 9x for 3000+, if u want unlock one, get FX series thumbup.gif

Hi Everyone,

New guy here. VERY little experience and knowledge. Just built my second computer with the 6150k8ma 8ekrs, single corsair xms 1 gig DDR 400, no video card, crappy little 250 watt power supply, and AMD athlon 64 3000+ CPU. This is my first attempt at overclocking. Here are the results. Any questions, comments, advice???

First attempt. Changed nothing but FSB. Made it to 230 with occasional weirdness. Bumped up vcore 20mv, and memory voltage 50mv. Seemed quite stable doing stress analysis with Solidworks/Cosmosworks.

I then tried the following. Put voltages back to stock. Reduced all HT multipliers to 3X, and brought mem speed down to 133.

Incrementally raised the FSB to 270 with no problems, the raised mem speed to 166. Haven't tried going any further.

I have been running Prime 95 for 1.5 hours now (Still running while I write this) and browsing the internet with as many as 3 explorer windows open, plus the Foxconn Super Step so that I can monitor temps, and Outlook running all at once. Temps stabilized at 30 system, and 41 CPU.

This seems quite amazing to me since I really have no idea what I am doing. In fact I only lowered the multipliers and mem speed because I read it on the internet. Did I just get lucky and stumble across a good setup?

The only thing I have noticed is that using Pass Mark for testing, my 3D graphics have slowed down. Even at the current FSB speed, the graphics are still slower that they were at 230 fsb with all other settings stock. They did get noticeably faster when I raised the mem speed to 166.

Any ideas? Is there more to be gained?

I hope this helps someone, and I would be interested to hear from any experts.

Change the PSU if possible. 250W is a bit too little for overclocking.
It looks like your problem is at the memory settings. Go google the exact model u have and compare with other people. I'm sure there r a forum somewhere that shows what chips u have inside the XMS. Don't limit your HTT multi at 4x....u can turn it down to 3x or lower (as long as HTT multi x HTT less than 1000MHz). It won't gain much performance if u put higher. Your 3D performance slowed down bcos it's using the system's RAM. System's RAM performance decreased = graphics performance decreased.

Hi there,

Thanks for your input.

I was mistaken about the power supply. It is "rated" at 380W. I don't have any voltage droop when starting Prime 95, and I don't plan to add a video card, so I think I will keep the existing power supply.

After having a week to do more research, and testing, I have found that the memory is keping me from going much past 270. I could change the multiplier, but then I would have to raise the FSB to approx 300 to get back to where I am now (224 DDR448?) I would rather not loosen up the timings to go higher, as that seems to make things a bit sluggish, regardless of what various test programs say.

I am looking for some memory that will run at 270 with reasonable timings so that I can change the multiplier back to 1:1. I would like a 1 gig stick. If I can find something that will run at that speed, I will probably just leave it alone after that. I don't want to raise voltages.

BTW, it has gone about 10.5 hours on Prime 95 with no errors before I shut it down manually. Any suggestions?

Thanks again.

PY
