what test was pass and what test was fail?

is there any other divider that you can use besides 5:6?

It's Venice E4

Derrived from San Diego E4, half L2 cache disabled.

BTW.... what's the improvement of E4 over E3/E6?

same here

lack of practice made me think that assembly is nonsense

who told you that?

you will only burn your rig (not only mobo) if you use
- excessive voltage applied without proper cooling
- using low quality mobo like the generic ones
- cheapo power supply

yes....very similar

Just to let you know, actually your Tbred FSB is 133Mhz double pumped. When you're overclocking it, you're actually increasing the 133Mhz value.

Running at 200Mhz FSB is not that impressive because it is easy to achieve as long as your processor is good enough to clock higher, provide you pump enough Vcore. You are running your KVR at 200Mhz (400Mhz effective, double data rate), which is just 1:1 with the overclocked FSB of your T-bred.

Kingston Value RAM with DDR400 speed is rated at 2.6Vdimm, you don't need to run it at 2.7Vdimm to make it prime stable.

So easy usually

HTT = hypertransport
HT = hypertransport multiplier

those are not RAM setting (google or wikipedia)

cannot expect much from a winnie

E6 should handle 2GB easier i think

Other website's method, and out method is just the same. You're just being too lazy.

you found the answer itself

most probably the 2700 and 3200 both have different chipsets and compatibility issue arise when running dual channel

1. Check whether your motherboard supports AGP/PCI bus locking. Always set AGP=66MHz or PCI-e=100MHz manually in the BIOS.
2. Check whether the hypertransport speed (LDT multi x FSB) is below 1000MHz.
3. Make sure enough voltage feeding the processor.
4. Use FSB:DRAM divider to eliminate bottleneck from RAM.

If the option is not available inside your BIOS, try using A64Tweaker... it should have the option to change that value.

experiment yourself... different idle timer value might give better stability

nbtd....lol!

my cpu max overclock graph (up to 1.4V)

None...

You need to have a 10x multi to let the DDR2 run at 667

Please refer to the 1st page on AM2 thread for DDR2 dividers.

To burn-in and make the result permanent, you need to rest the processor as well... a very long burn-in is not really a good idea.

Try 24 hours burn in, divided into 4 sets of 6 hours per session. And let the computer rest/cool down for a few hours between that.

And try not to feed excessive voltage.

Using lower priority of torture is more than enough for burn-in, the trick is just let the cpu run at 100% utilization, but good enough for you to do your normal computing task.

use memtest to check whether it's ram problem. if no error during memtest, it should be cpu problem.

TCCD won't like high voltage. Some people spoiled their TCCD after running with more than 3.0V for a while.

I would say the safe range would be 2.8V - 2.9V. The lower the better.

There is DOS based memtest called Memtest86+. You can copy it to your bootdisk and run through DOS.
