Maybe your try on default timing first.I tried my KVR before running on 5:4 also can't boot up.I also can't understand why.

@raymond
229mhz 1:1 is quite hard for me to reach there. mine only get till 225, not prime stable somemore. at 5:4 not reach 248 stable. haiz....really have no luck in ocing. maybe next rig in the future la(3 years later? ). hahaha...

@pengster
OMG!!!! i LOVE the psu. looks damn sweet! how much??

but if you get the parts slowly, then when your whole system completed, many some parts already half warrenty gone.

as for me, i will plan a list for the rig i want and keep an eye on the price and technology change. at the same time collect $. only budget available, update the required list then 1 go hamtam. just my 2 cents

@fylon
hoho....now you are buzy gaming la? hahahaha....

ok .. set the ram timing to auto and now can boot normally ... ..gonna try push more ..

wahaha...as expected, your ocz ram dont want to run too loose at low speed!!! wahaha...At 212mhz, it can tun at 2-2-2-6 la.

just set to SPD for ram 1st and vcore to 1.5v. then start push it slowly till it hit the wall. now your ram shouldnt be big problem.

Like that i bet my RAM is also behaving like the OCZ RAM?Loose timing won't boot at 5:4 divider?

i'm done ... i think my proc hit the wall oredi .. can boot normally at FSB = 255MHz (3.84GHz) .. beyond that will hang after loading windows

Vcore : 1.5V
Vdimm : 2.65V
Vagp : 1.6V
Ram timing = Auto

Now running dailly with 3.6Ghz with 2.5-3-3-5 timing .... fylon, u r the man rite now ....

maybe thats true. raymond, your ram just pass a message to me. "DONT UNDERESTIMATE ME!!! I CAN RUN AT TIGHT TIMING~~~" jk jk

wahahahaha.....mine last time have face this problem, running at cas3 dont boot at all, at least must run at cas2.5 or cas2. that time was running at speed below stock speed. once get over 200mhz, then running at cas3 no problem. but also quite useless, cant even get pass trought 230mhz.

@sang_karim
you try run it at 5:4, i think you should get higher. since you can get near to 3.8GHz 1:1, i believe get pass 4GHz with 5:4 is not a hard work. at 4ghz you can run at 2-x-x-x timing. i htnk the performance will be better than your current 3.6GHz

oredi tried with 5:4 divider .. that was the result i got ... i thought i can easily reach 4Ghz with 5:4 but i'm wrong .... set vcore, vdimm , ram timing at auto and vagp at 1.6V incase needed for stability but only manage to boot windows normally at FSB = 255Mhz (3.84Ghz) only ... almost the same with 1:1 divider which can boot at FSB = 254Mhz only ... so my conclusion is the proc hit the wall oredi ....

Wah... 1 hrs dint refresh thread is flooded.

@sang_karim
Haha.. I never tried with 5:4 before as i can hit 4G with 1:1 ratio i think it should be enough for me. As for the timing 2.5-3-3-6 @ 4G i gain around 7k bandwidth for my system. Most of it, as Ray & kabu has says, ur ram need to be tighten up during high speed. Btw.. Ur proc hit the wall already wth 255mhz @ 1:1 ratio? Not done yet.. Maybe vAGP not enough for high speed. Since u had pump more then 250mhz.. vAGP might be one of the concern which limiting u get beyond ur current speed.

@Ray & Kabu
Yup.. Busing gaming now. Hand itchy now.. Game more important than OC now. Spend 3hrs on ProStreet but only mange to dominate 2 race day! OMG! The game is kinda long! I only finish 3%....

P/s: ProStreet full version takes me 7GB of space to install.

dude .. not 5:4 la .. 4:5 one ... .. it will show 500MHz at DRAM Frequency in bios ... if i set the FSB 200Mhz at bios with 4:5 divider .. i'm gonna get proc run at stock (3Ghz) while ram at 250MHz ... i'm wonder how it's gonna be if u apply it ... ur stock ram is 250Mhz rite? which means it's still got plenty of room for ocing ... if u set the FSB = 225Mhz .. ur proc gonna run at 3.6Ghz and ram at 281Mhz ... is it wonderfull if u can run at that speed ... ... please correct me if my calculation is wrong ...

hihi all
want to ask about the proc northwood p4 3.0ghz, stepping 9,revision D1
wat the meaning of the stepping and the revision?
is it good?

Haha.. Sorry! Got flooded with game on mind. Owh yup. Tried that before actually, due my ram was PC4200 = 500mhz but unfortunately i cannot boot my system what that setting. Thats why i stick to 400mhz.

dude .. ur stock ram speed is 266Mhz aa?

Stock is 250mhz, with PC4200 = 500mhz. But anyways, some surprise here. I could boot my system with 4:5 ratio now.. By then, no matter how i disable the PAT, when i running at stock speed, it sure fully enable!

Addon: Correct some mistake! PC4200 = 500mhz! Not 533!

ahha thanks i bought it at LYP today.600+.will set it up tomorrow. no cash to buy everything 1 shot mar.so slowly buy lor.better anyway,i can wait for the G92 8800GTS and Penryn that way.haha


oh yeah,disabling PAT makes my system stable @ 2700Mhz.no crashes whatsoever after 3 hours of gaming silly that i forgot all about PAT.thanks guys!

no bodies free to answer my question
jk jk

why don u try running at 4:5 divider ... high speed proc and high bandwith ram ... ..see how much u can do with 4:5 ...

@sang
Ok.. Here is ur request sang. Just play around with it. And i found the max spot for my ram. 273mhz with 3-4-4-8 @ 2.75v vdimm. As my cpu were clock to 218fsb. Anything more then will make me stuck at POST. Meaning i was running at 3.48Ghz with my ram at 273mhz. Gain around 6.2k bandwidth. Not bad..

P/s: One thing i found that, by using 4:5 ratio, even i go beyond 200fsb my PAT were still on. I set it to auto and it always fully enable shown in CTIAW.

@blonely
Actually u can search on the net to find about the stepping and revision thing.

@fylon
already do so but still dun understand. as in wikipedia cant found.

@blonely

U sure cant find in wiki?
