AM2 CPU/DDR2 divider table:



This post has been edited by soulfly: May 17 2007, 08:04 PM

to setup a new rig of 939..cost almost the same with am2..so..i choose am2, since 939 will soon phased out..
will be joining this am2 clan soon..

Yeah, yeah, i'm a member tooo.... used a s939 for 2 months then change to AM2 coz got a serious buyer for my cpu n mobo...

My spec :

AMD AM2 3000+ | MSI K9 Neo NF550 Mobo | Corsair DDR2 667 | Stock AMD Cooler...

I only play2 o/c to 2.4ghz only then downclock it back... Dont really like o/c ing that much...

how much u spent for those setup?

U mean my whole rig or what? CPU+RAM+Mobo = RM1k

This post has been edited by cloudwan: Jul 20 2006, 04:31 PM

no..i mean only the proc+ram+mobo..if affordable..might get these..cos others always varies..

Urmm when i upgrade it was something like 1k = RAM 345, CPU 340, Mobo 320... Nowadays it's much cheaper....

i noticed dat mobo is selling at 340 sumwhere..where did u get at 320?

RM340? U sure? Coz i seen PCZone pricelist now it's something like RM295.... If u have the funds try getting the MSI platnium wif N570 chipset RM355, better features i think..

This post has been edited by cloudwan: Jul 20 2006, 04:44 PM

nope..pczone is 350..just checked..nevermind..i tot of dealing wif moderno instead..

http://www.overclockercafe.com/Articles/DDR_vs_DDR2/pg_3.htm

Not really much difference ddr1 vs ddr2 for now.

Is DDR1 compatible on DDR2 mobo?

Nope not compatible DDR1 wont work on DDR2 slot... vice versa...

I check the pricelist in here...

http://www.hardwarezone.com.my/priceguide/download.php

Not compatible.

The advantage of ugpgrading to AM2 is 65nm which will come out in the future. Now u should get a 3000+. Then wait until 65nm X2 (or single core if u dont plan to go dual).

This post has been edited by davidletterboyz: Jul 20 2006, 05:00 PM

never buy technology of tomorow for today's application

Exactly. I've calculated the cost. To upgrade to 939 is actually more expensive than AM2 because i can't sell my old stuff with 939 and still have to shell out a lot.

Since 939 is already going obsolete, might as well go AM2. Also, from what i read somewhere, AM2 will have a much longer live as it is supposed to be foward compatible with AM3, AM4 sockets in future, so maybe using slower RAM (DDR2 instead of DDR3, DDR4, but at least u still can upgrade your CPU for a good while.

My AM2 rig:
AMD AM2 3000+ | MSI K9 Neo NF550 Mobo | Kingston DDR2 667

Soulfly: Can add me to the clan list?


btw guys, the mobo is only RM295 at PCZONE. Price dropped already. I just bought it 2 days ago.

Go buy one before stock runs out!!!!

Wahahahahaah.... New saudara... Muahahaha.... Using same cpu n m/b as me... muahahaha... welkam, welcome matrix...

Last nite install my setup, as usual, it's the CPU that's always give me headache and since i've never have experience with this HSF lock before.

Warning: The CPU installation instruction in the MSI K9 Neo manual is WRONG!!

Luckily, i refer to the AMD instruction manual. The MSI manual told me to hook up the side without that big plastic turning thing first then only hook up the side with that thing. It doesn't works at all! One look at the AMD guide can tell that u should hook up the side with the big plastic lock, then only hook the other side (there's a notch here, just just ur flat screwdriver to force it in), lastly turn the lock.

(1) Hook side with plastic lock.
(2) Hook side with metal notch. Use screwdriver to push it down 90 degree.
(3) HSF is secure lightly. Turn the plastic lock as per diagram.
(4) HSF is fully lock.

Hope this helps newbie!!

btw, how to o/c this CPU ar? Any tips? There's no multiplier like my old XP1800 wor...only FSB. please share ur success stories here!



This post has been edited by Matrix: Jul 20 2006, 05:40 PM

I o/c by playing with the cpus fsb.... but b4 that i hav to set the HT at 200 and set the ram speed at 266 to make it more stable.. If i set the HT higher it usually wont boot properly..

As far as I know... the current MSI K9N Neo 550 motherboard do not have multiplier selection in the BIOS... maybe future BIOS update will enable that.

Overclocking AM2 is just the same as overclocking 754 and 939. The basic is whenever you overclock, make sure the hypertransport speed does not exceed 2000mhz

Hypertransport (2000mhz) => HT bus x LDT multi x 2
Clockspeed = HT bus x multiplier (or FID in some cases)

Yeah, u should buy technology of yesterday for today's application.

well,juz i know the A64 Am2 with nForce 550 at OverClock is different with Sempron AM2....

the divider is different....

Sempron AM2 still can run dual channel ram, it is... ? n nForce 570 is for SLI, it is?

LOL wat use to get a future technology which is not really functioninig well and stable yet?
Remeber the story of RD ram on pentium 4 ?
Remember last 3 years AMD64 in order to use windows64bit??? Where is 64bit OS? Till now every1 still gaming, doing daily operation on 32bit windows.
DDR800 ????? Would you buy 2gb ddr800 now?? wat if the moment the launch am3, a better cheap set already come out ? Make your am2 only capable to run 70% performance of am3? even VIA low end chipset run better than ur am2? Then those initially using 939, waste a simple rm200 already can get a board with much better technology than am2.
What if suddenly AMD got better technology research out, change the soket to AMD superb ....... then AM2 would be facing the same life path as S754.
Yet, amd got say AM2 will support AM3, AM4. Don't care they say until Am10, they suddenly tell u soket need to change due to the advancement of technology, what can u do? What use a future motherboard with a noob procesor runing on it. Don't make sence. I rather get a good 939 processor.

No flaming, just my 2 to 10 cent
My opinion is better buy a stable, mature,cheap technology, rather than future, unusual technology.

This post has been edited by ToGo: Jul 21 2006, 08:20 AM

yes...

nForce 570 got 2 model...

1 is nForce 570 Ultra,that is not SLI
another is nForce 570 SLI,that can use SLI Tech...

Agree with you.

But I kinda bought yesterday's technology. I bought amd64, the next few days AM2 released. damn.

hmm.... I think it's just the same la, it's just that Sempron had lower multiplier and clockspeed, as well as smaller cache. Which Sempron were you talking about.... 2800+ or 3000+? Both are rated at 1600MHz if I'm not mistaken.

For AM2 processors, divider is DDR against clockspeed.

Check out this table for Athlon64 dividers, Sempron might applicable as well. Not sure where the original source came from, but thanks to knacky from XS forum for posting it up earlier.



All AM2 processors run on dual channel.

yup...

Sempron 3000+ is 1800MHz(200*8)

so i think u r right lah..the problem is by the Multiplier...

err, 64bit OSes are out there, loads of em..n its been for a while
ever heard of linux? n i dont remember AMD claimed the 64bit is mainly for windows64
n yeah, debian based ubuntu64 currently as my 2ndary OS

Wahlau like this why we all ever upgrade? Better that we all just still use socket A lor, matured chip what.... Muahahahah...

I dont really understand what ur saying, do u mean that if someone right now wanted to upgrade their pc from let say Athlon XP they should get a s939? Why is that? Shouldnt it be wiser to just buy AM2 instead of s939? Come on, just face it s939 is eventually going to be phased out, so would it be better to get hardwares that would be much viable in the future to upgrade?

Let say sample of upgrade path:
Ur suggested way:
Athlon XP > 2006 upgrade s939 (pay RM1k for PCIE, Mobo, CPU) > 2008 upgrade AM3 cpu (pay RM1k++ for DDR2/DDR3, mobo, CPU)

Our suggested way:
Athlon XP > 2006 upgrade AM2 (pay RM1k for PCIE, Mobo, CPU) > 2008 upgrade AM3 cpu (pay RM400+/- CPU)

I donno ar, i still think upgrading straight away to AM2 is much viable the buying s939.. Well performance wise is almost the same so why not just buy something that would save u the hassle in the future... just my 2 cents ar...

This post has been edited by cloudwan: Jul 21 2006, 04:16 PM

That give us no reason to upgrade com? And stay what we using now forever? Because, Technology is growing. Another few years conroe will phase out and replace by other model. So you mean wait and wait wait? No bad joke for today.

Basically, Socket 939 and AM2 are priced at the same price or if not, it is Rm1-5 more expensive. But it more FutureProof Compare to S939 which will be discontinue soon. Also one more thing , AMD will continue develope AM2 for the next 1 and half year and A64 Rev G will be appear end of December . Next mainstream Dual Core 3600+ with 256*2 L2 cache will be available on AM2 only.



Everyone opinion is different on this.
We need to remember this, Socket939/754 already gonna phased out and their are Our yesterday Technology which using DDR1. Socket M2 will be amd new flagship to against intel for today. Anti-HT and 65nm technology will be appear in 2 quatter.

Dota map keep on upgrading and upgrade, why not we stick at Stable, Mature map like 6.27b and dont touch newer ver? Ask yourself.

Ya lor agree with u... Sometimes we need to make decision that would involve future planning... Heck why not? the difference isnt that much what...

You're looking at perspective of 939->940. Hey, did i ask you to upgrade from 939 to 940?? If already using 939, there's no reason to go for AM2.

However, I'm using socket A previously. There's no way to upgrade CPU already. AGP also fast dying. SATA also cannot use. Anything i buy also be a waste of money coz it'll be obsolete (like a new IDE HDD...same price as SATA, AGP...what for???).

From Socket A-> to 939, i only save on the RAM (need to buy PCI-E GPU, CPU, MOBO, SATA HDD), furthermore buying a mobo that is already going obsolete and has less future re-sale value soon.

From Socket A->to AM2, i need the extra RAM + everything else as per 939. this mean, i can sell my old RAM and cover back most of the cost there. Why not?

Even if you dun care about AMx compatibility, you still has the benefit of upgrading your CPU the next few years. 939 already obsolete and production of 939 CPU will stop soon.

Let me make it clear to you the Pros/cons (from a Socket A or older rig):

AM2
===
Future CPU upgrade still good for a few years.
Has longer life span
Longer re-sale value life span

939
===
Future CPU upgrade doubtful, end production soon. by the time top of the line X2 price drop to mainstream level, you won't find it anywhere.
Life span to end soon
Re-sale value going down fast


And the price:
I've already calculated for my config, same hw, for AM2 it's RM1495, 939 is RM1,230.

That's only RM 265 difference. Once i sell off my old RAM, the difference is really insignificant.

Stability? There's no reason AM2 should be unstable, it's nothing new really, just 939 with an extra pin to support DDR2 RAM. The core tech is the same. Why worry???

Please give me one good reason why i should go for 939(instaed of AM2) for an existing Socket A or older rig user when the price is the SAME!!!!



This post has been edited by Matrix: Jul 21 2006, 05:37 PM

lol.. i'm using s754.. want to upgrade AM2, why i need to upgrade s939 if i must buy new mobo+cpu?
ddr2 is another story.. don't tell me it's not stable while intel user running it fine..
i like to upgrade so what's the prob?

if no ppl willing to buy new tech don't u ever want new tech at affordable price..
it's just like investment no big deal..

Uhh....we r going out of topic. This thread is becoming new tech vs old tech?

Fantasykenny....Sempron 3000+ AM2 is 1600MHz (u did maths mistake?)

bro dont want to change ka?
maybe this week i want to setup new AM2 rig.. cannot tahan ler.. up there my friend cucuk² me...
want to play with new toys..

No $. LOL... I just picked up a sempron64 2800+...doing 2.5GHz at stock vcore. I will wait until people sponsor me AM2 mobo first.

no offence but, probably you need to do more research and more reading factual stuffs instead of rumours and news, or just purely using your own theoretical ideas.

1. Why do you keep stressing about DDR800? you don't need DDR800 to run an AM2 rig. DDR667 is fine enough.... heck even DDR533 is compatible as well.

2. Getting S939? You must be joking. by the end of the year (Dec 31).... it will be EOL already, if you haven't read the news. Smart buyer would either go for AM2, or if they're rich enough they might just go for Conroe.... not S939 (those who are already on S939 is a different story).

3. How mature is AM2? Mature enough that nobody complains as for now. AM2 is K8 technology as well, just the same as S754 and S939, no difference except for the implementation of DDR2 memory controller. If you're saying AM2 is not mature, that might as well as saying S939 or S754 not yet mature. Motherboard chipsets? AM2 runs with nForce4 quite well, that's the option if they feel not really confident with nForce500-series. DDR2 not mature? Come on..... DDR2 has been around for quite some time. DDR is yesterday... and soon it will meet the same fate as SDRAM. At least DDR2 is much cheaper than DDR nowadays.

4. Future technology? What future technology are you talking about? If something is already here, it's not the future anymore.

5. And one last thing... if you wait till AM3 release.... maybe S939 has no more resale value already.... just like AMD K6, Pentium III etc. Those who needs to sell their S939 rig probably lost a lot.

Oh ya... no flamming, just my 2 cents as well.

How can i set the timing for DDRII in Biostar Tforce 6100? I seem cant find anything similiar to my S939 DFI inifnity. I cant find where to set the Cas Latency and the bios DRAM configuration got too many stuff to play.

try pressing ctrl+f1 in bios....


how's the temp on AM2...17-19 degrees normal or not?

Nood o/c here:

I've absolutely no idea what i was doing.

My AMD64 3000+ multiplier is 9.0

So i set:
HTT=250Mhz
SB TO FSB (HT multiplier???)=800Mhz
RAM=266Mhz. (my RAM is DDR 667)

The result is (according to nvidia control panel):
Reference clock (HTT)=250Mhz
CPU frequency=2,250Mhz
HT bus frequency=1,000Mhz
Memory bus frequency=665(DDR2)

Is this good or bad??
All i heard is the HT bus should be kept at 1000?? I dare not go any higher...am i doing the correct thing here??

This post has been edited by Matrix: Jul 22 2006, 01:17 AM

is it really 19degrees using stock cooler? cool...

if i want to pair this AM2 with Scythe Mine..will it reach 15degrees??

This post has been edited by syarat: Jul 22 2006, 02:32 AM

wow lol is that even logic? Lower than ambient temperaure? Or you live at north pole?

i dunno...bug maybe/change with system temp...bios read 20-23...windows 17-19....

Attached thumbnail(s)

but if run prime...

case increase 2 degrees...cpu 13 degrees....
so idle temp is really 19 degrees?


Attached thumbnail(s)

r u using wc coz <30 is kinda cool for idle cpu

This post has been edited by hunt17: Jul 22 2006, 08:33 AM

Muahahaha... where got only 19 degrees ler... Mine is using stock cooler n the temp controller is reading idle 41 degree n full load 46-50 degrees...

Ha...ha...i think something wrong with sensor there. Unless using some super-cooling nitrogen freezing solution, unlikely be that low..


btw, guys, anyone can help with my OC question previously? I still dunno what i'm doing is right or wrong.

Thanks.

bro...care to share us your specs?

cheap am2 setup
im using gigabyte M51s2g RM325

try TC's "Core Temp" - A program for accurate K8 temperature monitoring
it monitors the cpu proc with internal component.
So far my my case, the reading is a lil different ftrom mobo's probe

damn the core temp software reads 36 degrees for my cpu now

alaa..only 36 lol..no need to sweat..hehe

haha wanna join this AM2 clan!!!
juz come back from lowyat today
went to pczone n saw the new price for AM2 proc!!!!
x2 3800 is oni for rm590

but before buying wanna ask anyone using biostar tforce 550 mobo
good for oc or not hehe

Any recommendations on what mobo to get that is reasonably priced (around RM400) and good for overclocking?
Feeling gatal again after the price drop

Biostar TForce 550...how the performance, can ask abg soulfly...

Just get boards with 570-590 chipset.dun buy 6100.My Giga board 6100 no OC option in bios .Luckily can use software.

Eventho I've been ocing for 5yrs,still cant understand how AM2 Fsb or HTT works.So wanna ask expert here.I cant get past 250HTT if I set DDR2 at 667 in bios...but if set DDR2-400 can go up to 300HTT currently still priming.Why like this one.Set DDR2 667 with lower clock speed or set 400 with higher clock speed better?

It because your ram run at different speed when you set DDR667 at bios. 250HTT will give it DDR800. You maybe need to adjust the timing abit loose.

What software you using?

Oh like that,need to calculate first.I use Easy tune 5,Gigabyte own software.now priming 2450mhz 306x8.2500mhz cannot boot cos i cannot change any voltage

I have one Biostar TForce6100 too. And what worst is, the video not working and memory timing cant adjust manually. This time, 6100 Sux to max.

this is gigabyte...

if Biostar no the problem this...

wait u send back i change 1 unit to u....

sry about the mobo problem

I already Phobia Onboard GPU mobo, gonna top up For your TForce550.
It my 1st and last microAtx mobo.

I'm got experience with Winfast, on board vga are suck. RMA 2nd times but still same problem just 3rd times it's ok.

u board is my Biostar 1st problem.....

Maybe this is the 1st batch for Biostar AM2 6100. That why it abit buggy for me. Anyway, you get my Pm rite? Dont change for me another 6100. I top up for Tforce550. IF 2nd one also lidat, den waste postage money nia.

yup i know...

change TForce 550...

this bios is more better than TForce 6100

perhaps Asus suites u..the n570 chipset..forgot the product name..u can google for its results btw..

for the AMD Overclocking....

at my list juz DFI,Biostar,ABIT is the best

ASUS at AMD Overclocking not best like the brand as this 3....

juz best at Intel Overclocking

HI i just bought AM2 1 weeks ago

here is my set up
AMD64 - 3000 AM2
Biostar TFORCE 550
Corsair 512 PC533 2 pcs
ATi 1300PRO

hey go green, go amd am2 ... probably ppl can save lots of money of TNB bills

i'm selling out my s754 via k8m800 board lar because just gotten 2 GB of free DDR2 ram from my bro's upgrade to conroe ...

going AMD am2 with DDR2-533Mhz ... cheap cool and nice ...

AMD AM2 with DDR533 9-3-3-3.0 1T..will give you lower overrall memory bandwidth compare to Socket 939 at DDR400 average timing. Mine only give 58% bandwidth effiency even the timing is already quite tight for DDRII. And the sandramark and pcmark for memory drop compare to my S939 run at DDR400 6-3-3-2.5.

budget below RM400 = Biostar Tforce 550 is the current best option. Do not get Biostar Tforce 6100-AM2.... the bios sucks. The only downside to Tforce 550 is that the Vdimm max out at 2.2V.

budget around RM400-RM500 = Any ASUS AM2 should be okay. Or if can wait, DFI Infinity Ultra-M2 should be the best choice.

any budget higher than that suka hati....

come2 show some oc results so that fellow forumers can see and influence them buying AM2.

last saturday bought new setup..
quite impressive thought can't oc very high..
just try mild oc yesterday...
lol can't believe i'm on dual core..

need to study first ler AM2 setup.. gogo X2.. doing default currently.. thinking to flash the new bios... the only lacking of this asus board is vram max 1.95 only... lol.. what a waste... but it's rock stable and rich of others features..
