Well, Tforce AM2 boards still overclock well, but there are some quirks, like those mentioned above.

About voltages, most of the time I find that the last digit (last 2 digits for vCore) of motherboard sensors not accurate. Guess you're just lucky then, your board reports accurately. Also depends on what software you use, some have been calibarated to give better readings.

well then i think its better if i juz let it be..
as long as i know how much voltage did i put, then its fine.. wink.gif

If i am not mistaken, CPU-z cant report the correct vcore if exceed certain vcore smile.gif

Nice result there. Is that stable result ?

Oh, another thing is, mind to tell me about that soft ware that u using to show the temp and measurement of the voltages ? Kinda noob in software side. Thanks in advance. notworthy.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

anyone using vista here?
i cannot use the biostar's fan control software in vista...
any other software can be used in vista to control fan speed?

finally im using both my corsair and crucial together and run it DDR900 5-4-4-5.. rclxms.gif

still not priming yet, but converting video (avi ->dvd) and playing RTS games (build tons of army until the game looks lagging), no problem such as BSOD so far..

I got a question, anyone using abit kn9 ultra? because i still dont know which sata port is "locked" and "unlocked" any ideas?? x_X

so far i can get 2.3ghz and 900mhz on my kvr ram, but i cant push the processor pass 2.4ghz and ram @ 800mhz at the same timing as 900mhz w/o BSOD myself and corrupting windows(2x re-install ade) and for now i am using Linux minime for the 2.3ghz and 900mhz ram speed.

ps. cpu multi has been played with from 11x to 7x already..

Ur everest reports the temp still near 0C ? Mine is around 2-3 b4 OC. rclxub.gif

ehehehe, i'm abit outdated on this thread, will read back to see if u guys found any solution to it yet or not.

So far, the AMD X2 is very stable now, will try to OC soon.

So, i should use CPU-Z(Specs), Super Pi 1M(for memory), Everest(for temps) and wat else I should use to ensure that the OC is successful ? I'm kinda noob with memtest or prime. Can let me know wat's the name of the software and version, so that I'll go check on google lo. hehe

Thanks to all the help offered.

memtest86 is better for memory. Hell lot better, in fact. Only thing that sux is you have to reboot the whole PC (but if you're overclocking, that should be pretty common, no?).

Speedfan is also pretty good for temps, plus you can graph it. But most of the time you'll have to figure out which temp is which (they're not labeled properly) and some of the temps don't actually record anything.

jy14,
How to use memtest-burn the cd from the iso, or make the floppy/thumbdrive from the install utility. Then reboot the PC from the disk you created.

Prime95-after install, select stress test only. Then for ANY dual core processor, make a copy of the program shortcut for every core available on the processor. In each shortcut's properties, add the parameter -A*, where * is any number as long as none of the shortcuts have the same number; counting up from 0 is usual. Then start all the shortcuts, and you'll have multiple prime windows running. Set affinity (under Advanced) for each window to a seperate core. Then run the Torture Test under options. Prime tests the processor, and also the memory for the "blend" option, though memtest is still better for memory.
Alternative, use Orthos (I haven't used this much myself)

And lastly, superPI tests both memory and proc, but you have to do 32M to be certain. 1M is just too short, no processor could heat up enough to really prove its stable under even the most extreme of conditions.

Use Windows-based Memtest is better and quicker.

mind posting the link? haven't had much luck finding it.

Also I wonder how effective is it, as windows will use a noticable chunk of memory, and that chunk will not be tested.

it's very effective. you will only need to test like 25% the capacity of your total system memory.

i personally use Clockgen + Memtest to find best memory speed quickly.
