QUOTE(cracksys @ Oct 4 2006, 12:26 PM) here's my screenie on my first OC attempt [image was here] OF course, i do have some question as noob always do 1) I cant get it running at more than 245Mhz bus speed...what's holding me back rite now 2) It's freakin hot ... i'm thingking of lowering down the VCore but the lowest posible option was 1.40. I've seen some people lowering it to 1.36 ... how is this possible 3) anything wrong in those screenie ?? i'm sorry to bug in, mod did this 
perhaps your superpi result is quite slow ?

HT link more than 1000mhz is it ok? btw mine using micron technology pc2100 rams..290 mhz*9 at 1.45Vcore, my memory clock setting at 133mhz and ddr running at 189*2@2.8v 2.5-2-2-5..are my setting going to kill something on my system? but i ran prime95 up to 11hrs with no errors..idle i got 37c and full load at 53c..if i wanna go higher..i have to change better clocking rams? or i can run with 100mhz memory and increase more v core to get more HTT?i think my rams are running waaay over the rated speed..even a cap ayam summore..i'll post some screenies tomorrow..

turbo10, i believe that HT more than 1000Mhz is ok but not recommended.anyway, u can lower the ldt multiplier so that the ht speed does not exeed 1Ghz..they dont give any significant performance increase anyway.

err .. is superpi supposed to be varied even at the same speed ???

[img=http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/6751/pimodum1.th.jpg]this is my setting..anything i could improve? ran this setting with prime95 for 11hrs and stopped with no errors..can it be consider as stable? i know my super pi is super slow considering i am running 2.6g..i think running with better rams could make it faster..i guess..

cracksys there a lot of other causes that can vary the superpi result even if the cpu is running the same speed. turbo1 yes u're right, changing to better rams will make the superpi result faster.i think there's a discussion n tips on how to improve ur superpi result in this thread. as for the size of the rams, i'm not quite sure on the effect on superpi, but in 3dmark06 and gaming, there will be an improvement since u're currently using 512MB.

revving towards 10,000 rpm

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

thanx guys for the advice..seems that need ram upgrade for me..if got some money mebbe getting a pair of ram..512x2 set from LYN garage sale..any rams u guys could suggest? but i read somewhere here in lyn that said mobo sometimes a bit choosy with rams..i dunno my mobo love what ram..so far current ram i'm using works like a gem..working waaay above its rated speed..wanna try run dual channel..see what can improve.hehe..u guys know what...90% of my rig parts and 99% help and knowledge come from the LYN..glad i found this community..

yup bro..been using single stick rite now..i am sure like what u said the headache will come if i upgrade to dual stick/ channel..but i will go for 2 sticks..u can see my rig is kinda budget one so i am going for a pair of budget rams like hynix u mentioned..TCCD might be an option if ada duit lebih..thanx for the help bro

i agree on getting the hynix rams.someone's doing a bulk for hynix rams, n price is rm199 per 512mb piece.one more thing, i dont think high performance rams are cost effective.yes,they do give u better benchmarks, but there's not much fps gained in real life gaming by spending 1k on high perf rams rather than spending the same amount on a better gc.that's just my 2 cents though  u have much more potential to go there bro..bump up the voltage see your venice fly

awesome chip... i can get d ram run on 315MHz w/ same timing, but only prime stable for an hour plus... i think 313MHz is d max, or mebe i need a chip w/ better mem. controller...

FYI, i almost throw away my CPU because i tot this is a faulty one  , anyway, different chip different max speed i must say  . i did run clock at DDR660, but fail in every stress test (memtest, prime) but did manage to boot successfully, i wonder if i can set at 2.9vDIMM, but still 2.9vDIMM is considered high for TCCD
