send to me i try 3ghz for u

ur d9 wont be a problem..jus keep on pushing it..3ghz wont be tough

your RAM can write name

nice result there...congrats....

Fuiiiiyohhhhh nice results

Maybe update to the new bios will help
Last time, m55sli-s4 appears to have htlink multiplier problem.

Nice one.. U do burn in?? How much extra voltage u pump from the voltage enough to run that clock speed??


-pWs-

i just got my rig up and running and im doing first batch of ocing.
just wanting to see whether im doing anything wrong.
im using a zalman 9700LED cooler on my cpu.



this is after the 15min test. core temp was at 32C during test. and Aux was at 43C rest was cool below 30.

I set 1.50V from the BIOS... but it seems that the board overvoltages a little bit around 0.025~0.03V.

Burn in was only done when I was using my DFI.

Not bad at all. Did it manage to boot at that settings? What settings did you change in BIOS?

I managed almost 330HTT from windows(clockgen) without touching any voltage or timing. But somehow when i did above 250HTT it wouldn't boot. Will try again using a seperate boot hdd so don't run the risk of screwing up my data. First time when I overclocked my AM2 set, I forgot to drop the HT link multiplier and my whole HDD screwed up. Lucky managed to recover the data and send the disk to RMA. So now I avoid overclocking while using my main disk containing all my precious data. After confirm stable only I put back my hdd.

ah no... i can't find cpu mul on TA690G bios...
otherwise can try 600fsb.. lol..

I will check the voltage myself with a digital multimeter. I don't trust onboard system monitoring sensors especially for voltage.

that setting was done on BIOS. i just tweaked drive strength and dqs delay thru Systool.

What is drive strength and dqs delay for? What is the recommended setting for those??


-pWs-

that very depends on your ram characteristics and its running speed/timing combo etc. the value can be either higher or lower to get it stable. pretty random among different chips.

I am using 4 x 512 Mb ram, does increase the drive strength to level 2 or 3 helps overclocking further?


-pWs-

cannot assure you unless you try it yourself.

Thanks ya...den i will have a try when i free

UPDATE: Drive Strength really helps in maintaining the stablilty of overclocking.

Thanks soulfly

wad effect will it hav if we set it wrongly?
wad did u set for urs?

At first, i make it Auto one.
Using the same vcore n vdimm, i cant get it stable with the Auto setting.
Now i set it to Level 2, orthos stable and everything works fine now...

where can i find the update bios foe m59sli-s5

Added on May 19, 2007, 1:27 am1 more thing, if the board said supprt 800mhz for the ram can i use 1066 one

Bios = www.gigabyte.com.tw

the other 1 i'm not too sure

Added on May 19, 2007, 1:37 ambtw guys i got 1 question while overclocking. My mobo got a prob which is i can't check my chipset temp and what happens if chipset overheats? i don't wan my chipset to go kabooomie as i'm on 270htt now
