give more voltage....simple

memtest86+ has the option to change the common timing set during the testing, but other stuffs such as async latency or preamble thingy is not available if i'm not mistaken.

a64tweaker doesn't have any effect to the timings before u get into windows.

should be quite stable already... not bad i should say

I realized that China assembled AMD have 3 letters after the production week numbers in the stepping. Can anyone confirm?

with stock cooling my idle temp is somewhere around 35'C to 38'C

full load temp is around 52'C up to 58'C depends on ambient temperature.

clockspeed at 2711mhz with 1.5Vcore, temperature reported by CoreTemp.

You know you shouldn't discuss about Intel in an AMD thread.

Anyway... the 2.2v jumper is supposed to supply fixed voltage.

Tforce550 should be able to run more than 280mhz HTT if you use the latest BIOS. there has been issues of PCI bus not locked at 33mhz with older BIOSes.

one question for you... do you know that there is ddr and ddr2?

s-940 use ddr1 with ecc

s-AM2 use ddr2

not necessarily. higher clockspeed will contribute more heat. if you pump higher voltage at default speed (example 1.8ghz on 3000+) the temperature is not much different... probably only around 2-3'C higher.

s-AM2 is 940-pin.... but ppl always misuse the s-940 name for s-AM2

try play with "max async latency" and "read preamble"

what ram are u using? try set async latency to 8ns and read preamble to 6ns

Actually, with K8 system the DDR was never related to the FSB. But, since it is just DDR, it is still possible to relate/calculate the DDR speed to the FSB value (because default FSB is 200MHz), hence we call it divider. This is why CPU-Z is showing that the DDR is divided against the cpu clockspeed, which is the correct way.

Somehow in AM2, this method cannot be applied anymore, thus they changed the divider rule by using values such as DDR2-400, DDR2-533, DDR2-667 and DDR2-800. This however makes it more difficult and complicated to determine the right DDR2 speed at a particular clockspeed. Hence, we need to refer to the AM2 multiplier table. The FSB value is now no more relevant, but CPU multiplier is.

dude ... AM2 is K8... it's just the socket difference, AM2 vs 939
