isn't that a lil too high? so 2.5-4-4-8 and 2.9v (2.85 possible? takut burn lah laugh.gif), then 250mhz*9?
*
Nope, dont worry. 2.9v is still in the safe zone for passive cooling.

@-vip3rleon9-

try 3-3-3-8 and 2.7v first. if still cannot,try upping the Vdimm. my silly twin stick of rebranded ddr333 KVR can easily do ddr480 at 3-4-4-8-2T 2.9v (didn't dare go higher sweat.gif )
*
Its better to try 2.5-4-4-8 before 3-3-3-8 because the difference in the Cas Latency makes more different than those two in the middle.

QUOTE(-vip3rleon9- @ Dec 29 2006, 05:23 PM)
so far i'm running 2.5-3-3-8 @ default V @ DDR470. laugh.gif

i'll try using this timings and OC till DDR480 or even maybe DDR500 on 2.9V.
*
Some chips can go and some cant depends on the chips itself. So try and experiment yourself.

no need to oc ur ram la.. used timing enought edi maaa... see ur proc first before ur fried ur ram lorrrr
*
Higher ram frequency with loose timing is better than slower ram frequency with tight timing.

ok. i just found out that my mobo only allows me to locate 2.85V max to my rams. blink.gif how?

tried both 2.5-3-3-8 and 3-3-3-8 and both stil won't allow my pc to boot Windows properly.

the seller of the DT-D43's, a friend of mine, said he managed to OC it till about 270mhz. but i forgot what proc he was on, would be 775. unsure.gif
*
No worries, just set it to 2.85v then. Now just set it to the highest speed the ram can handle first, then lower your cpu multiplier. We use 8x ok ? Then put it 200mhz, 2.5-3-3-7 and burn in the rams at 2.85v for 1 day.

Why not give Overclocking a try ? You'll get addicted soon, trust me.

why not use bios?
if use bios to OC does it also raise the PCI bus??
not right? hmm.gif
*
OC via bios or windows will raise the pci bus. Its about the chipset being used for the mobo actually.

Hey can you unlock 5X HTT link in your BIOS (NForce4 4X chipset). if you can you can refer to this http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/455781/latest on how to unlock 2000MT/s (1GHz HTT Link).
Make sure you have an NForce4 4X chip revision A3 or later.

Not much improvement even if you use 5x multi. biggrin.gif

Whoever is using dual core on epox 9nda3+ and somehow getting issues to run some high load apps/SMP F@H client, check this out

*feedback from epox to me

I myself getting this kind of problem. Rock stable with sp2004 at 2.7ghz and when i try to run SMP Client my system restarts.

harlo, does anyone know whats the best clock for amd3000+ venice?
using amd64 3000+ venice, 2 x 512 kvr ddr400, gigabyte GA-K8NSC939 (latest BIOS), winfast 6600GT AGP.

currently clock at @2.33
HT multiple 3x
HT speed 290Mhz
CPU vol 1.65v
CPU multiple 8x

ram timing i set at auto wor, fsb/ram ratio = 2/1.33 if not mistaken
sifus here pls give some comment

Your CPU Voltage is too much. Please lower it down to 1.5v and slowly test it.

ya, s939 x2 still available at bulk section, regret to get my opty last time cause more expensive and sommore get the worst steppings, ccbwe 0551 vpmw... saw those x2 at bulk section can oc till 2.7ghz++, although its 512kb cache, i think its clockspeed tht matters in amd cpu, the cache should made real little diff... am i right?
*
5-15% difference depending on the program especially F@H SMP Client.

QUOTE(e-jump @ Jun 15 2007, 02:07 PM)

so, i see that my vcore actually shoots up on load.
how do i make it to have lower margin of difference compared to idle?
cooling the pwm & mosfets only make it less fluctuate, but the difference is still there at load (1.46) & idle (1.42).
this is bcoz i can run lower vcore (1.42) at load, but from load to idle, the vcore will drop significantly making proc not receiving enough juice --> hang =__="
*my other rails are stable at rated value.
*
That one is caused by your mobo and psu, voltage supplied fluctuates/overvoltage too much.

Now i got 2 mobo.

GA-K8NF-9 (Rev 1.x)
-AND-
Abit KN8

I wanna oc my AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ s939. Which one is more suitable for me to oc and which one is more oc-able?

Coz now max out my 3800+ @ 2.7Ghz using 1.5Vcore.

Try the KN8 Ultra, im using it. A very good budget overclocking board. thumbup.gif

QUOTE(afosz @ Jun 17 2007, 11:18 PM)
1.5 Vcore? Isn't it too high already? sweat.gif

Anyway, I manage to OC my Brisbane until 2.55GHz and I can't make it to 2.6GHz. Do I need to change PSU or better cpu cooler to reach 2.8~3.0GHz, hopefully brows.gif

He's using Toledo, so the voltage is acceptable.

Yup, 1.6v also can but too much heat created and not recomendded for 24/7 setup.

Toledo at 1.6v??!!??  sweat.gif  sweat.gif Could you please give me some references and hyperlinks on this? If these voltages are considered safe for toledo (relatively speaking of course), me wanna OC some more!!!  rclxm9.gif

QUOTE(amyhs99 @ Jun 18 2007, 07:14 PM)
actually 1.6 is not so ok... coz i 2.70GHz @ 1.5Vcore, speedfan showing 60C++
its more when check with core temp...

so i downclock a bit running at 2.67GHz @ 1.42Vcore.. Temp is acceptable on my nitrogon nt06. orthosing at around 50C++ with low fas speed...

Just wanna know if i change mobo to KN8 <-- Not Ultra
dunno can run at lower vcore or not ler???

BTW, is my psu consider good for oc? see my sig...
*
Using watercooling, even with 1.6v you can get low temps.

KN8 ? Why not u try it yourself ? My KN8 Ultra is doing great currently.

Which psu ? Acbel 500w? Not sure myself since my acbel 450w ipower also not enough juice for my rig.

Owh, okay then. But surely it would be better than your current mobo.

@ uzairi - thx for the reference! Really helpful!  thumbup.gif

Was wondering whether you can tell me where you got it from. Wanna see what other info they have!  biggrin.gif

I guess my toledo would be safe until 1.5v. However, at 1.45v and at 2.84 Ghz, already 60-61'c!! More than the recommended max of 60'c.....  sad.gif

Im not sure where i got it from, long time already. When the Toledo first come out as AMD Athlon64 3700+.

ya lo... toledo is the hottest x2? unsure.gif  unsure.gif

Yup, they are among the hottest x2. Dual core opty is using Toledo too IINM, not sure about it.

I still cant get my X2 to be stable at 2.7ghz @ 1.42v. Will try higher vcore later on but temps would shoot very high later. Now 55c @ 2.7ghz @ 1.42v.

Yup, power consumed still remain the same as long as u are using stock vcore. Better to check ur temps using the CoreTemp, more accurate compared to mobo softwares.

got some questions here.. does single channel really effects overclocking? before i used DDR2 667 512MB x2 at dual channel, n i can get till 2.5.. but when i add one more 512mb, it becomes single channel, and i just can go stable at 2.3. got any suggestions?
[attachmentid=252974]
This is before.. at 2.5

[attachmentid=252972]
here's at my current speed.. i tried the ram divider at 533 but still the same thing happens..

spec like in my sig..

Most probably the 3rd stick cannot do the same clock with the other 2 rams stick. smile.gif
