perhaps your superpi result is quite slow ?

almost forgotten to ask , anyone got other than "assembly in malaysia" athlon64 ?
well , i'm using "assembly in china" one .

ADA3000DAA4BW
NBBWE 0613BAD
X025767C60384

very high voltage

btw , i'm trying to get A64 ES . any opnion ?

RAM above 3V need active cooling , so watch out .
i guess you use 245MHz X 9 multi to get 2205MHZ .
your divider not working ? or it lowered itself when cannot boot ?

most D43 need little voltage boost to get DDR500 with loose timing
DT can do better than BT

for K8 family , processor speed is everything
if your speed is high enough can overtake others' with slower speed and tight timing

long time didn't play already
now playing last/final OC before next week exam
[attachmentid=183111]

my RAM can't stand that high speed (KVR only ) so i use 133MHz divider instead .

what memory testing software you're using ?
speak out at least we can know more .
high-end nvidia display card kut
he already have g.skill

try turn off CnQ in BIOS
use CPU-Z to confirm the speed
venice should can push higher than 2.4GHz

bought from your friend ? ask him loo
alright , you need reading :

Fundamentals of Overclocking

RAM speed set to AUTO doesn't mean it will run at stock speed depend on mobo and BIOS

hey brother , you shouldn't just post and wait us to spoon-feed .
we don't even see your processor before . CPU stepping , production week ... etc makes the different of all chips . i cannot say my venice can go 3GHz means the whole world also can go 3GHz , even from the same shop , same date , same wafer . that's why you have to try yourself ( pc is just by your side , not us ) .
if you worry your chip will die , then go up a little by little let's say 100MHz until not stable when PRIME / SUPERPI . as long as you don't add voltage i don't think it will hurt your CPU .
good luck on trying .

free hdd space !
still able to boot into windows ?

up voltage only when instable occurs
remember to lower HTT multiplier to 4X / 3X


i hate this kind of question actually
http://www.amdgeeks.net/steppings/ADA3000DAA4BW
google yourself

you miss-understood , a lot

ok , HTT multiplier is got nothing to do with processor speed .
HTT multiplier (1X to 5X) is different from processor multiplier ( for A64 3000+ , 1X to 9X )
as far as i know , HTT is the internal connection between chipset components and the processor

example :
your HTT speed can be as low as 300MHz when CPU speed at 2700MHz
( HTT : 300 X 1 ) / ( CPU : 300 X 9 )

one of my friend says ALL "Venice"s boot into windows very fast .
i was like

anyone can proof this is true (if compare to other fresh format system) ?

read read read Fundamentals of Overclocking
your mobo use NF4-4X chip , maximum HTT value is 1600 instead of 2000 for NF4 standard and onwards .
however , it should be good in clocking ( personal opinion ) because when doing OC , normally HTT-multiplier is lowered for stability and low HTT doesn't affect system much .
1GB stick RAM normally don't go high frrequency with tight timing , loose it up .

did the screen says it's safemode , press F? to continue when POST (black screen white text) ?
you can try using 166MHz(5:6) first and see how far your CPU can push

your mobo spelling wrong
GA-K8NF-9
NVIDIA nForce4 (4X) : max HTT 1600
Gigabyte board need to press CTRL + F1 in BIOS to unlock all the options

make the RAM to run 166MHz/DDR333
try differnt RAM slot
how about give it a direct shoot to 250MHz ?

off topic ...

because Thread Starter can open/close his/her own thread

haha , K8 still alive
recently upgraded to Opty 144
hard to find X2 s939 in nowadays ...

it's called the " Cool 'n Quite "
as long as you enable (in BIOS) , it will work always (low multi when idle) .
some may encounter unstable when overclock + CNQ while some don't .
try it out yourself .


give some time to AMD/ATi for newr driver
