not only dual core optimizer, but some updates for XP as well. XP isnt build to optimize multi core processors. I forgot which update was it, do a little google im sure you would get lots of results.
Also, this is for XP only, Vista has support for multi core procs natively. |

i dont think u can find it anywhere, basically, divider means fsb:ram frequency. say.. 200fsb : DDR400 = 1:1 divider. 400fsb : DDR400 = 2:1 divider, keep in mind that DDR represents the effective clockspeed. Example, DDR2 667 is actually achieved by 333mhz X 2.

QUOTE(arc_archive @ Sep 16 2007, 09:18 PM) my brother Orleans in action Your rams are crying begging for more there...  arc_archive | BIOSTAR TF560 A2+ | Crucial 10th Ann PC5300 | Zalman CNPS9700 LED [attachmentid=296225] it seems my mobo hit the fsb wall edi...cannot oc more.  Im sure you can do better, my crucial 10th anni can do 430mhz @ 4-4-4-12@2.5vdimm. From browsing this thread, i find that most of the guys here concentrate on raw clockspeed while forgetting about the rams, your ram mhz/timing do have a huge influence on your performance, no point running 3Ghz if you are doing only 300mhz on your rams. |

Well.. at last i have some spare time to meddle with my brisby.
This is what ive achieved currently, 
IMHO, 29.2 sec 1m PI for Brisby is quite an achievement if you ask me. Theres definately much more room for improvements and fine tweaking while i will save it for future free time. This is my specs currently. Brisbane 4000+ @ CM GeminII GA-MA69G-S3H Crucial 10th Anniversary Sapphire HD2600XT GDDR4 X2 (Crossfired) @ CM CoolViva Z1 Raptoxx 550W Im still running my orthos as we speak now, passing 1 and a half hour. Given the amount of budget i spent on this setup, i must say im very happy with it. Any suggestion on further tweaks would be deeply appreciated. oh btw, just to add, on the current screenshot, my 10th anni are running 2.2vdimm This post has been edited by AoiNatsume: Sep 19 2007, 04:54 AM |

QUOTE(dblooi @ Sep 19 2007, 10:56 AM) You can use 667 divider, don't worry. Crucial 10th definitely won't bcome your bottleneck for any clock that you can reach with this divider. Also , change the ram timings to 4-4-4-7-11-2T. You'll realized that entering 28s is such an easy task. Yea, im using 667 divider atm.oic , maybe bcoz i don't call anything b4 1000 as oc , that's y feel so surprise. haih, you guys really ...... Let u guys see a screenshot, ppl use crucial 10th to hit 1400. and pls see properly how much vdimm he pumped is 2.27vdimm , not reading error of coz , he is doing that for competition, all the ram sub timings already tweak to max loose. haih, i hope foreign ocer won't be able to find this thread.. if not they will laugh until stomache ( or maybe cry bcoz feel sakit hati for crucial 10th) aiyo...if wan play low clock, at least tweak you ram timings, make it tighten ma  also, don't suka hati then pump 2.5vdimm to ur ram( ur ram don't need so high vdimm for that clock also) without proper handling, you might burn ur ram. even if ur ram don't burn , it might suffer OC ability decrement if u pump such high vdimm for long term usage. cpu-z validation for that 1400 guy : http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=217529 |

just leave those at 195ns for all dimms and try further.

your temps seems alright, id assume it would be safe to increase your vcore. Set your vcore @ 1.5 and try again.
I dont think the problem lies with your ram, the settings for your ram now is too easy for it to handle, it shouldnt be the culprit. This post has been edited by AoiNatsume: Sep 22 2007, 04:04 AM |

QUOTE(xixo_12 @ Sep 24 2007, 12:22 AM) it is possible PSU limit the oc when u keep push the vcore.. and orthos and always fail.. FYI, the ram is set to 400 and just set to 2.0v... and speed of ram 262mhz only..look at my sigs, using 550w.. waa.. x cukup ker?? just check your Voltage and make sure everything all voltage reading is good, then it should be alright. If its your PSU, the voltage should flunctuate alot and most of the time below the specified voltage.  just testing oc brisby 4000+.. my fwen punyer..hahha So sad, my 4000+ brisby already hit its limit. Cant go any higher with my current board, max OC 3.3Ghz @ 1.55vcore, bootable with lots of distortion. 3.2Ghz 1M superPI-able, and 12hours orthos stable at 3.0Ghz @ 501Mhz 4-4-4-7-11-2T @2.3vdimm. Im sure that my ram isnt holding me back though, nothing else i could do =( 1.55vcore is the highest my board can go. Any suggestion for further overclocking? |

using Xigmatek HDT-S1283. On 3.2Ghz 1.55vcore my load temp average around 55c, i cant test it for long as the system hangs after 15-30minutes due to 3.2Ghz instability. Which on the other hand, with my current stable speed(3.0ghz @ 1.50vcore, orthos 12 hours straight, its still maintaning 40-45c.
It could have been better though.. im on a crossfire setup so airflow isnt perfect on my case, plus, the crucial rams runs pretty hot. |

800mhz is just the rated MHz, you can always clock it up to where you rams leads you.

is there significant difference between 5200+ and 6000+? the price difference is RM130+-, i supposed the 5200+ can be overclocked to run on par or even further than 6000+ no?
Or is 6000+ much more overclockable? planning to get a 5200 soon since im done playing with my brisby  |

QUOTE(ameque @ Sep 24 2007, 10:28 PM) hi ive read somewhere here someone used RAPTOXX psu for OC. is it any good?? thinking of buying.... Im using Raptoxx 550w, its working pretty well with most voltage readings stable. I believe my rig consume quite some power here, 2 HDD, 2X HD2600XT DDR4, 1.52vcore and 2.3v on my crucials. IMO, its wayyy better than CM Extreme Power 450w, ive used the CM 450w before(the model with a voltage meter), it flunctuates alot when on full load where else my cheapo raptox works way better.

well, some says its the same some say its different. Then again, it doesnt really matter to me as it performs damm good. And again, the most important deciding factor, price. Rm440 for 2 sticks of 1GB, on the tracer series... u cant get much with RM440.

actually, whats the safe level of dropping Voltages? i mean.. how far for it to drop before it can be considered "dangerous"? up to this day, ill think it would be fine as long as all rails are above the rated level. Always try to keep them at or above rated v.

i might be interested as well.. but really depending on the price, if its around RM230-250 range i think im in. Cant go any further on my brisby now, looking for a new toy
Anyone interested in my brisby here?  2 weeks old able to hit 3.0Ghz prime stable @ 1.50Vcore XD |

that would be really great... but based on my personal experience in overclocking, most (80%) of the procs that ive played with, usually overclocks far when the voltage is within +- 20-30% of the default vcore. Anything significantly higher wont really get you that far...
eg, my brisby @ stock voltage (1.25) can bring me up to 2.6Ghz, and in 1.5v core it can only go as far as 3.0Ghz stable, anything higher its hopeless |
