woow...your friend is overclock hardcore?

Added on December 27, 2007, 7:44 amto reduce the temp diff. between the core, the only way is to remove the IHS

Damn it man, those board makers are really lazy..its not that the board can't run Phenom, but they're taking their own sweet time to release bios updates allowing Phenom to be used on AM2 boards..

My M2N32-SLi Deluxe has new bios for Phenom. However, it is full of bugs and I have to downgrade it. It lock at HT 1X and PCI-e bandwidth greatly reduced. My 3D Mark 06 scores reduced from 9300 to 6200. Asus has good reputation updating their firmware for their products and good warranty/service as well. That's the difference among the board maker.

How to remove? With current AM2 clamping type of its cooler, I think it might actually damage the processor as we cant control the pressures of cooler on the naked processor.

Hello , somebody can guide how to oc more higher for my spec :

Below is my pc specification:
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
AMD Stock Cooler


Now my bios setting is like that :
FSB = 252MHZ (2772MHZ)
Multiplier = x11
pcie clock =100MHZ
cpu core voltage =1.575V
Ram voltage = 1.95v
HT speed = 4x
cpu cool and quiet control = disabled

DRAM setting is 667MHZ
cas latency =5 clocks
TRCD=5 clocks
Trp =5 clocks
Tras=15 clocks
Trc = 21 clocks
Trfc0 for dimm1= 195 ns
Trfc1 for dimm2= 195 ns
Trfc2 for dimm3= 195 ns
Trfc3 for dimm4= 195 ns
command rate = 1T

Previously , i can overclock to FSB=256MHZ (2816MHZ) before 1 week , But now directly no display and no beep sound again . So i force to downclock to 252MHZ .
Can expert recommend some ram timing , voltage setting to push back my speed back to 2816MHZ . Thanks

change to 2t first

wut divider u used?? suppose to use 400 first to stable the max proc

theres nothing wrong wif ur timing..its in the middle..not too loose, not too tight..so ur in a safe position..but change the command rate to 2t.increase ur vdim..ur dvder is 667,and according to the dvder table, it will be cpu/7..so ur ram is 2772/7= 396 -396x2=ddr792

u may need to increase ur vdimm..try to put it at 2.0 or 2.1 if u have active cooling

xixo...
ko da blik melaka ker

aku balik 30.. then i have dating with gf orang lain..haha.. when u back to malacca.. after this DUAL CHANNEL in action..

Ya, managed to Boot Windows 2.9Ghz@264x11. (My Dad installed windows after i left, will try to get a screenie when i get back home).

From what i see, the mobo is the limiting factor there. Using only an Abit NF-M2s.
I could not adjust proc voltage, nb voltage, vdimm max out at 1.9, i could not find a way to even set the ram to DDR2 400 to test out the max for the proc.

I have strong feelings telling me that eventhough it's a CCBVF, not a CCB8F, 3ghz should be easily achieved provided you have the proper setup. Would like to test it on my AN9 32x...

Try to search for a CCB8F, should be able to OC quite far...

where got sell it??? btw thus HT multiplier affects stability after OC? CPU score in 3dmark06 and everest are the same despite of different HT multiplier

edit: "almost the same"

btw mine still not listed

You can ask eric from robyncom though. JustPC and cycom is also selling if im not mistaken.
I beleive the mobo is very good and stable.

Damn my sem break is almost over >.< only few days left... my freedom .... nooooo >.< guess have to wait for mid-sem break ta770 !!! Im falling in love with u!!!

btw abit nf-m2s cant change to ddr2 400 ler... minimum is 533 only after i buy biostar ta770 im not going to sell it , im going to smash it wif a hammer n burn it to crisp a good way to please a broken heart

bro,

what is ur 5000+be Temp, idle and load.

i angkat one 5000+BE (after long time tak OC)..

mine 5000+ BE temp

defult @2.6g
idle: 45~47c
load: 52~c


OC @ 3.2g
idle: 47~49c
load: 68c

im using SilverStone Nitrogon NT06 cooler.
detect the temp using everest 4.2.1170 (trial version)..dont know if the temp is detect accurately or not.

thanks

Shit,

That is hot.
I never tested using everest but from MSI CoreCell .
Mine idle for 3.2Ghz at 1.39vcore is 31c and max load 45c
Standard vcore at 3.1Ghz is 30c and max 42. Using Xigmatek and facing dual 12cm on top of my casing and another exhaust fan at the side.

Download everest, will test later.

use your hand mor mor it and feel the heat... u know hot or not lor....
b2 temp is n0t accurate anyway...

If hand can't feel then use yr tongue as temp probe, sure can detect the temp one , haha, just kidding...
btw, 5000+ BE temp

defult @2.6g
idle: 45~47c
load: 52~c

the idle and full load temp only diff by 5 to 7C?
if correct yr cooler must be good

The NF-M2s sucks big time...

Btw why Ta770? There are other choices around that range, with one that obviously stands out, the K9A2 CF.
Anyway, i was also considering about the TA770, K9A2 CF/Platinum, M3A...But ended up getting an AN9-32x...
Wanna wait for prices of 790FX to come down further before jumping to AMD 7 series chipset mobo.
Anyway, AN9 32x is a nice mobo to play with, loadsa tweaking options to fully utilise ur proc and ram...


Bro, i just got to boot my F3 yesterday.
Haven't install windows or anything yet, only test boot only, borrowed 1 piece of ram from Lohwenli.
I manage to boot 3.3ghz with stock vcore...
Hoping to get maybe 3.4-3.5 with stock vcore, but that will be insane.

Btw, B2 temps are out. Used to run a Brisby 4400(or was it 4200 can't recall), idle temp on stock cooler was around 55c and load temp running prime was 79-80 ... But the hsf was still not really that hot to touch...

@dblooi, thanks for the chip bro. It really performs as what i expected it to do...

Congrats =) can't wait to see your best clock
