from stock speed , tried 300HTT just now.
couldn't boot up
will try to top up the clockspeed step by step later
if still cannot, wanna flash bios adi

p/s: boot up from bios takes damn long time

after flash to latest bios,
tried 250HTT , boot successful
enter bios again, tot of top up the HTT to 300,
mana tau saw this, what the .....

bios auto set multi to 9.5x pulak

after boot into windows , it shows 3005MHz with 10x multiplier
in order to make sure that it is really 10x multiplier ( previously in bios it shows 9.5 x 300, now 10 x 300 )
i run everest memory and cache benchmark,
if it is 9.5x , suppose the score will be very low ( i'm using 90nm proc now, IMC bug occurs if i use 9.5x multi )
and result shows that this is really 10x multiplier


a snapshot of temperature and voltage monitor,

stock vcore ==> 1.24v ( suppose VID for my proc is 1.21v , mobo add some extra juice for proc )
vdimm add to 2.4v in bios and it shows 2.4v in bios monitor ( no voltage drop )

however, this is not finalized conclusion yet, will try to check again with DMM on tomolo as some guys don't really believe the accuracy of the hardware monitor

p/s: boot up from bios still slow though adi flash to latest bios
will try higher clockspeed now, stay tune


edited: just checked the vdimm option ,
after 2.7v straight away 2.9v again for this latest bios

wow how u did it.I cant boot up at such low voltage.Izit any regulation?BTW did u add any n/b or s/b volt?

wanna know why?
buy F3 windsor from me

edited: other than vdimm, the rest of the voltages remain as default

woi bro db....dun poison ppl lah

bro oxburg, you may buy my used F3 Windsor as well

haha...just kidding...

btw, bro db how to check the actual default Vcore? through stepping ka?

Hello , somebody who can help me ? My Pc Spec is like below :
Abit KN9 Ultra Motherboard
Athlon64 3500+ processor (AM2 Socket)
Kingston 1GB DDRII 667MHZ Ram x2 (Run Dual Channel )
MSI 8600GT OC Edition
Cooler Master extreme power 430w power supply
Asus DVD-RW Sata Drive
Seagate 160gb sata HDD
Seagate 80gb ide HDD
Stock Cooler

My BIOS setting like that :
My bios setting is like that
FSB = 256MHZ
Multiplier = x11
pcie clock =100MHZ
cpu core voltage =1.550V
Ram voltage = 2.10v
HT speed = 4x
cpu cool and quiet control = disabled

DRAM setting is 533MHZ
cas latency =5 clocks
TRCD=5 clocks
Trp =5 clocks
Tras=15 clocks
Trc = 21 clocks
Trfc0 for dimm1= 127.5 ns
Trfc1 for dimm2=127.5 ns
Trfc2 for dimm3=127.5 ns
Trfc3 for dimm4=127.5 ns
command rate = 2T

After that i got one question , now my cpu clock is 2816MHZ , but when i play game (Unreal Tournament ), cpu usage maintain 100% and cpu temp between 60c ~65c . I play not reach half and hour will BSOD (Begining of dump memory ) , i dont know is ram voltage problem or other reason caused BSOD ....
Every sifu can give me some suggestion ! Thanks !

Just 2 comments bro:
1. Change to a better 3rd party cooler
2. Just doubt your PSU can supply enough juice for your OC rig

hi i'm back

just figure out that i cannot use AMD overdrive 2.10
wondering why

come back with two results , 3.233MHz & 3.433MHz ( actually i set 320HTT& 340HTT in bios )
vdimm is 2.4v for both results , the rest of the info such as vcore & temp you can obtain from the SS



edited: wanna see higher?
-3.6GHz is my last try, after that will proceed to ram overclock , then HT link overclock and software oc test

-i realized that everytime after i reboot , the cpu multiplier will automatically change to 9.5x. Everytime i have to set it back to 10x manually

- i believe that vcore and temperature reading in bios hardware monitor are inaccurate

-to be continued

have u ever do prime or memory test for the system after the overclocking?

@dblooi

Hows the mobo for you?? any comments for it so far??

ram setting i set to DDR 400 alr.i wan oc proc 1st.c it can go how far....but sigh..0605?ok i will find it.thanks.if can oc good result will post it here.

few questions here..

- is there any need to push ht voltage? i mean did u guys increase it for ur oc?
- any limitation on HT link? i think i read somewhere to try to set it @ not more than 1000..or was i dreaming..
- already forgot few questions that i planned to ask..sigh..

back again

tried 3.6GHz but failed to boot into windows ,
However i'm very sure that it is not because of mobo limitation.
is the cooler adi reach its limit ( last time i did the same thing, but with air-conditioner on at 16C )
only have this, 3.5GHz


i hope this is good enough to show that this mobo is an OC freak
the rest of the tests, will continue after i wake up

p/s: got bad feeling on the software oc part
so far clockgen and AMD overdrive cannot use on 1st trial
Biostar oc tool II works but i dunno how to use it yet

okla, continue later, good nite

depend on yr Proc too I belif...
me pushed close to 1800MHz b4, without adding V

that is DFI nVidia 590 chipset?
true DFI can go higher hypertransport

in nVidia .. almost all nvidia 590 chipset can go to 1650 Hypertransport...
570 .. too bad i didn't really try it...

ATI chipset can go higher than nvidia chipset now... the limit can ask dblooi ... =)

and older chipset... never go over 1000 hypertransport or board cannot boot...
that's what i know

Nope, Nforce 4 chipset, DFI infinity UltraII-MII

awesome....

hah, check back the screenie, 1900MHz HTT link actually

holy clock.... salute

hi,i m back,just break my ownself record.oc till 3040GHz.
