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.

Just get boards with 570-590 chipset.dun buy 6100.My Giga board 6100 no OC option in bios  vmad.gif .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?

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.

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

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.

Just got TForce550 biostar from fantasy kenny and the first thing i do in window is test 2.8ghz with memory setting running at default and 2T. My memory score in pcmark lower den my S939 A64 running on DDR466 tight timing. shakehead.gif Gonna prime it later.

I just found out that , TForce550 dont have PCI lock. Anyone to clarify this?
I cant boot with 274HTT at bios no matter what vcore i put. At 274HTT, i prime stable at 1.075v. But 275HTT wont boot at all.
I download Clockgen 1.047 with nForce5 support..and it report my pci is running at 40-50mhz. .

Soulfly, any problem going above 270-280HTT at bios?

if i don't wanna OC,what budget board is better for x2 3800+?
biostar 6100 @ msi K9N-neo ?
*
Duwan oc kaw kaw, any board also suit you. Infact , that mobo, lack of memory setting. You will need a good memory incase you wan to overclock next time. With a chiplak DDR533/667, you can easily hit 270-300HTT .Above is abit hard because your ram will force to run at CL3.0 .

I used to have this problem. I'm not pretty sure how did I solve the PCI lock issue.... but I guess BIOS flash helps. You can get the latest one (Bios 703) here: http://www.lejabeach.com/Biostar/6100-550/N5taa703.rar

This BIOS so far allows me to get past 285mhz HTT limit and locks my PCI bus to 33mhz.
*
Hmm..but i was using (n5taa615.bst) bios from biostar official web. It should be the latest. Perhaps i should give your bios a try. It really shocking.gif to see my PCI went above 60mhz when i was on 2.8ghz. My Networkcard burn in 3sec . laugh.gif

what vcore did u use for 2.7ghz?

2.7ghz stable at 1.35v dota and 3dmark2003/5/6. But I cant set in bios, so cant prime it. Anyway your bios link is broken. doh.gif
Got alternative link?

LBBVF 0618GPMW.

Someone here is using the same unit as mine. Click here

Anyway, How u flash the bios 703. It said, the string is not match when i using Winflash. You flash in window or bios?

[Edited] Problem Solve. laugh.gif I flash using disket from bios. Now priming at 2.7ghz default. Not bad for a Rm1xx processor. laugh.gif

not bad eh...... 2.7ghz @ 1.35v

my 0620 SPAW not that good.... default voltage can run 2.7ghz too (3dmark) but not prime stable.

did u add extra volt for chipset or hypertransport?
*
Erm, your default not 1.35v? That 1.35v is my default, but i havent prime actually. No time for it. Tonite perhaps

I notice something blocking me again at 340-350HTT like what happen at 275HTT.
I stable 375*8 @ 1.55v at window with clockgen, but in bios, it cant boot.

My hypertransport is 1.25v since i running the ratio at 2x . Chipset voltage is 1.6v. But cpu temp abit crazy. I touch my heatsink abit warm, but temp detected only 21c. rclxub.gif

Bring to the max for a week. laugh.gif
I gonna feed mine voltage of 1.5-1.6v and see what it can do. Then stop and find my suitable speed for daily use. laugh.gif

Dont worry mate, my TForce550 giving me 23C when i priming. But use external sensor to check our own temp. My own thermometer show 44C , but window detect 23C.

Biostar TF550 really cant lock PCI and PCI-E la..
coz i just flash the bios to latest version...mati lol..
and i have problem of my oc ..
i show the result is i set automatic overclock V12 ....
he auto help me oc to 250, but i manually set
CPU vid = 1.2v
Memory =1.9v
chip =1.5v
Hyper Transport Voltage = 1.2v

cpu frequency = 250
NPT Fid control = x10 /auto = also can not..
K8<->SB HT speed = 4x  =coz 250/1000 = 4 ..so i set 4x
but can not boot up leh...
but when i put automatic oc ..will oc help me oc below the result
*
Can la. I post up this issue before. Always get stuck at 273Mhz. Any timing also dont help.
Then i flash bios703 as recommended by Soulfly. Now running at 345htt day and night. And comfirm it lock now as reported by my Clockgen. laugh.gif
Go download bios 703 or higher. From some taiwan biostar web.

so i`ve heard...sum shops in lowyat din even sell biostar6100 becuz they said customer alwys complain bout it..
stupid me i forgot to switch off the power thts y 3dimm burn..n shit i no digi cam cant post it here pcmmoddingmy..maybe i`ll try claim to viewnet..
btw now my manila 3000+ oc from 1.6ghz to 2.1ghz alrdy with stock vcore n cap ayam psu..at 1st i cant get pass through 227ht but then i jus drop ram to 2T n HT link to 3x also set my ddr667 to ddr533..all goes well..


Biostar 6100 Am2 is crappy because it dont have adjustable memory setting for Cas Latency. That make really give us headache as it gonna fix CL at 3.0 even at DDR667. rclxub.gif
