wacky, some errors are really mistakes. some errors are due to lack of common sense before posting.

what warrior mentioned is absolutely true, time and again i find forummers here keep giving opinions that are either false or outdated - all just because they HEARD someone said so.

it's getting pretty annoying.

it's not about who being dumb or what - it's about lacking common sense. don't know? not sure? lack information /experience in a particular topic? then don't post, if you want to give information that do your very best to give an as accurate an answer as possible, not something based on myths or old information.

even if you don't know the answer, then you can try googling. you may learn and at the same time share your answer - at least that's a more proper way of answering questions.

where can i find cpu-z? i find the download link for cpu-z on this website, but i cant download it on the link that gv by forummer, pls send me a direct link if u hv.

i odnt hv my voltage adjust settings in my BIOS and also nTune, is it not available in my motherboard?

download it from http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-138.zip

CPU-Z is good, it's the application that we OCer use to check our system.

RAM voltage should be Vcore if not mistaken....
And GPU power is some other named but still core....
Its in the tab where u set the D.O.T

no no.

vdimm is ram voltage
vcore is cpu voltage

well, i'n not going to adjust my voltage, i scared i'll break the limit of my PC and produce fire inside my casing, and i also dont know much about the voltage, the basic concept i know is, voltage will produce heat.

yes, but also stability. it won't cause fire la.

at most overheat then shutdown.

usually OCing requires you to play around with the balance of speed + vcore boost + temperature.

for me, though i'm running fanless. i can do 2.5ghz with 1.65vcore but it's hotter. or i can settle with 2.4 at 1.5vcore (default) vcore and it's much cooler. so i want more speed, i have to boost vcore to stabilize it.

my previous boards allow me to go 1.8vcore, but then this board, maximum is 1.65 but it's good enough for me. 1.8ghz to 2.5ghz - cannot complain already.

i think my comp balancing r pretty bad now, always at the half way of the game then whole PC auto restart, dont know virus or wat, GPU and processor heat r normal @@

haha noob me

erm. yeah. bad.

even if you fail Prime95, your system should at least allow you to play game and whatever without auto-restart.

however passing Prime95 tests would be best to prove your system is 100% stable, or at least close to it.

you should also examine the air-flow in your casing.


don't worry. as you say - we learn. at least you put the words "if not mistaken".

i think the air-flow in my casing r 100% good lar, i open the side cover, and let a large fan blow the motherboard, but when i go to the event viewer, it say:

hi guys, help needed.. i am so desperate.. sorry i posted this question at another thread, afraid you guys dont see that there

I mod the RAM timing from 2.5, 3, 3, 6 to 2.5, 2, 2, 6

now it just show me big black blank screen... sad.gif
how do i tell the mobo to reset?

take out CMOS battery or dunno what jumper thingy?
please help ..... i lost my lovely desktop ...

if your casing air-flow is good, you wouldn't even have to do what you're doing.

so now you have good air-flow thanks to your face (and waste electricity)

reset your CMOS. refer to the manual, look for keywords like CLEAR CMOS JUMPER.

just press delete at the loading screen, after u enter BIOS, u see carefully see press wat key can reset all ur settings to stock default

there's a reason why there's a CLEAR CMOS JUMPER on motherboards, simply because in some cases you can't even access the BIOS to restore default settings.

exactly.. i cant see anything, blank screen only.

sifu Goldfries, this is my mobo guide
http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/rl/rl_confg.htm

would you be kind enough to help me take a look on what pin to set in order to reset?
I dont really get it... it says need recovery diskette? I dont even have floppy disk

thanks a lot.

i hope i dont screw up my baby.. I just upgraded to 1GB RAM and wanna play with my Ubuntu..

Ok, I was informed that the nTune has different frequency reading for some reasons but it doesnt matter anyway. From what u r saying, I'm assuming u r using the auto overclock function. The reason why your graphics card displaying artifacts (corrupted textures) is because your card has native memory capacity of 256MB and 512MB if u r running in Turboforce mode. That turboforce mode is using your system RAM, probably when your ram is o/ced too high (which also means your graphics RAM o/ced as well), it gives u artifacts.

This is purely speculative...i have never use/own this card but google told me it's a turbocache card.

AFAIK, u dont need a diskette to reset the CMOS. Diskette is probably for flashing a new BIOS etc.

EDIT: LOL it looks like this mobo really needs a recovery diskette.

gosh.. what diskette it need??
normally for CMOS reset, after pulling the pin out. what's the next step?

if my graphic card hv turbo cache mode, then how should i off it? and when i see through the control panel > system, it say my RAM is 1GB

YEAH.. I had manage to reset the CMOS without any diskette

questions:

1. since I had clear my CMOS, when I reboot into BIOS again, why it still remember my previous setting like Disable on board sound, Disable Floppy.
only the RAM timing was set back to default.

2. what cause the problem of failure to boot after I tweaked the timing to 2.5, 2, 2, 6?
if it is too tight, is increasing the voltage thingy will help?

3. how to strike an optimum timing if I have 2 pair of DDR (Dual channel) at the speed of 266MHz and 400MHz?

please enlighten me.. happy new year guys!
