of course not enough voltage. u cant hit 3ghz with stock voltage.. try increase abit your vcore.

stock is 1.3v ma
i alrdy put 1.4v wor...

oh, sorry misreading... what's your HT transfer rate? maybe need more vcore?

270*3 HT, 1.4v...
cannot boot...

260*3HT stock voltage
can boot...

ive tried to run my pc at 2500...athlon x2 3800+..and on idle the temp is 50..
ive read once in a website said that my mobo(asus m2n-e) cant overclock well because it lack of ram voltage setting.. how am i goin to improve it? anyone here who own this same mobo and proc have overclock it?

board limitation perhaps?
6100-am2 never gurantee 300HTT out of the box.
Mine max out at 285HTT using clockgen


So smokey, try using clockgen.

IMO, biostar BIOS always sux

Lower your ram divider or do ram vmod
There is a way showing how to vmod in xtremesystem forum. Try to look for it


-pWs-

urs is brisbane or what..
if yes.. do u know brisbane default voltage is 1.1v... lol u over voltage already...

i'd once own windsor with m2n-3, u can refer the old thread and study how to tweak...


now guys.. this is 1.4vCpu n 1.95vdimm....


Attached thumbnail(s)

i tried rebel's haven with ori de...both also cant boot at 270mhz...
but bios507 is better than bios316 coz bios316 maxxed out at 259mhz and unstable...

im using brisbane...i tot stock is 1.3v coz my cpuz always show 1.28v....

smokey, use clockgen to push the HTT way up.

The stock vcore for brisbane is 1.25v

I tried Biostar's ori bios and rebel's modded bios... All just sux..
All i can say is Biostar is not meant for hardcore overclocker..

lol only now i heard biostar not good... is it becoz of ram limitation or timing etc..

which model do u use?

** anyone can pass 300HTT with T550?

hello all AM2 overclockers......
just wanna ask 1 question, what is the best mobo for oc....is it BIOSTAR TForce 550 coz i saw many of u used it ???
i tot DFI type is good for oc !!!
TQ

perhaps its meant for budget-oriented overclocker
with the price of RM300, what can we expect more..

TForce is purposely made for overclocking..
DFI also good, but its picky as well (some of it)

i tot b4 this many ppl in lowyat.net recommend biostar tforce...
now opposite pula...

after using my mobo, i oni think tat tforce are for budget ocing...
i think it is bcauz of low vdimm...
bt newer mobo seems to oc better...

Budget overclocker go for biostar
Hardcore overclocker go for Abit/DFI, but DFI FTW


-pWs-

Yeah, not all tforce r good to be frank. Most Biostar bios r buggy...they always finished 90% only lol. E.g. 965pt 1t 2t problems (now solved...but thats months after the mobo came out)

However, at those price...we cant complain much. There r all oc-able..just buggy.

biostar bios offers great range of parameters for ram...but not all r use-able haha. Some will revert back to stock settings after u reboot lol....

byfc2010, yeah. Newer revision of tforce has 2.4vdimm...so it's enough for most rams..unless u wanna go extreme

sjn hassan, i believe all tforce am2 will have hard time passing 285fsb (a bug) from bios. I have seen this problem with 6100 and 570u i owned months ago. However, u can fix that by ocing using clockgen. I got mine up to 340-350-ish.

2.4v is enuff, but the buggy part is u cant change the voltage between 2.1v - 2.3v, its either 1.95v-2.1v, or 2.4v...
unless u do some vmod on it..

================================================================================

anyway after reading all this, i think i wanna change my mobo..
and im thinking of getting the same mobo with pWs : DFi INFINITY NF ULTRAII-M2
the newest bios provide option for overclocking 65nm processor ..



but i cant find this model on LYP's pricelist
pWs, mind telling me where did u get it and what is the price?
