i've saw there's a AMD Opteron Quad Core in the AMD website. is it available in malaysia??? i think the Opteron Quad Core is better then the AMD Phenom Quad Core isn't it??

try with stock voltage ( maybe +0.05 ) push until unstable .
my original heatsink ( after lapped ) can keep around 55�C load temperature close casing using 1.5V .
default Vcore should be around 1.35-1.4V for most s939 processors .
try to use manual BIOS setting not Overclock AI as you'll learn more especially the memory controller part .
ok , set everything to default and go download a small program called A64TWEAKER
write down these following value ( http://techreport.com/articles.x/9328/3 )
MEMCLOCK MODE limit
MEMCLOCK VALUE 166 or 133 if unstable
CL 2.5
TRAS 7 or 8 if unstable
TRP 3
TRCD 3
TRRD refer tweaker usually 2
TRC refer tweaker usually 10 or 11
TRFC refer tweaker usually higher than TRC by 2 , 3 or 4
TRWT refer tweaker

vdimm is voltage for RAM


to be honest , i don't expect high detail from a 8500GT , try lower the graphic detail .

according to google , your mobo support up to 1.55 for Vcore and 3.2 for Vdimm .
haha , K8 will never do 4.0GHz easily . some even struggle to reach over 3.0GHz .

will a 7900GS give me a high setting on fifa 08 ? or 7600GT ? 8600GT ? tq tq

my mobo only can reach up to 1.450V. is it available 1.55?? do i need to update my bios for the 1.55V??

check whether thr's any option in bios called cpu overvoltage (or sumthing similar to that), it is available in a8r32mvp board.

yeah.... i enable the over Vcore voltage but it still shows 1.45 in the bios but in the CPU-Z, it shows 1.55v. does the available Vcore voltage depends on the processor itself as well??

in my bios, the manual setting to overclock the processor have maximum of 400mhz and my multilpier is 10. so, i can tune it up to 4.0Ghz but how can i do that with the current Vcore voltage?? any idea? i tried 2.9Ghz but it restart when i logged in the desktop. the temperature is around 55 degree on 2.9Ghz. the max i can go with stable is 2.65Ghz only.

you can't just increase vcore hoping for higher clock, do keep in mind, increasing vcore more likely will kill your processor in second if the cooling not good enough... 60�C on load, considered hot, 65�C, cautious level while anything above 75�C is risky, i mean... not recommended for daily usage, that's why, aftermarket cooler is a must

you just said that you ran stabled @2.6GHz, run CPU stress test program, let it have burn-in test and see if any instability issue during this session (burn-in test)

I'm running with 2.65Ghz daily now. the temp is around 45-55 degree. i seldom play games and normally not. is there possibly on harming my processor?? i'm very scare on damaging the processor... any advice?

here's my OC database from CPU-Z
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=279237

i'm planning to get a low budget water cooling.

these is what i targetted:
ThermalTake:-
1. Aqua RX R2 UFO CPU Water Block CL-W0092
2. Aqua T.M.G 1 CL-W0072
3. Water Tank CL-W0009
4. P500 Pump CL-W0132
5. Water Tube Itube CL-W0055/9.5mm
6. Coolant 1000 CL-W0148

what do you guys think about it? is there anything cheaper and better then the item above??
my budget is around RM300-RM350. but i think those item cost me around RM400 above.

any recommendations?

little piece of advice, when you go for watercooling, get a high end... the low-end/entry-level IMO, same as high-end air-cooling which is i recommedn on those ThermalRights Cooler

well, it seem like i should drop by at Low Yat plaza to survey for a better WC system.

anyway, thanks for the advice sniper69

well.. erm.. need some help.. i got 2.6GHz with my F2 Windsor 3800+
but then, everytime 10 minits orthos, the pc will auto restart.. what's u guys opinion? is it cos of the vcore? or it's the limit edi? or issit RAM timings? here's my screenshot..


btw, my sig shows the spec..

eh........

no one wanna help me out ar?

but the temp when stressing is about 55-58+... din even exceed 60... or issit mobo overheat?

firstly, are you overclock using 1:1 or memory divider, if 1:1, there's possibilities that your RAM can't go with your CPU, so that leads to reboot and reboot... IMO, you should use memory divider, try experiment with your CPU, how high your CPU can go, after that (found the highest CPU can go), then go for RAM...

i assume that u r using ddr400 divider rite?
2.6ghz wiff 1.475vcore MAYBE not enough..
ur maybe ur vdimm is not enough,coz u set a tight timing..try loosen first..use CL5

Added on December 10, 2007, 11:12 pmowh,u want to know the reason why ur ram burned or what?

well, i think you've OC too far way. maybe it's over the voltage limit and the memory can't hold it.

i'm using 533div.. so means hav to up my vcore huh? bout the ram.. i'm still not that good with the timings.. hich one is better? tighter or looser? n what vdimm is suitable for a KVR ddr2?

oced to far?? wow wow...i oni put to 240mhz wor.....is that alot? i don't think so...

Too far for your RAM, not your proc, take sniper's advice, use ram divider

use divider 400..no need up vcore..just up ur vdim...use timing 5-5-5-15 2T...then try up ur bus speed little by little with ur current vcore..when bsod or hang appeared,u up vcore a little bit..then try back..until u reach ur limit...that how i'm doing with my proc..

EDIT :- tight is good..but u need to loosen ur ram timing 1st..to find good core speed..then when u satisfied with ur speed..u can tighten ur ram..
