Hi all sifus, need some assistance on my nuub journey on OCing. I tried to set my mobo(P35-DS3P) to run at FSB1333 as i understand my proc(E6550) is also running at this speed.

Problem is, whenever i set my CPU host control to manual @ stock @ 333 X 7 only. The BIOS would not even go pass the RAM check. Is there something wrong with my RAM or it's jus some settings? I'm using 2GB Team Extreme PC8500 1066MHZ 5-5-5-15 RAM.

CAn kindly assist? is there anymore information that you all need to ask in order to help me? Thanks in advanace all sifus..

my max OC SS which lastes less then 5 mins..


my stock config ss

Try reset Cmos and see how

Hmm.. never tried that yet.. will try and revert later..

did you change the mem timings in the bios? or did u set it to manual in any way.

yea i changed the timing according to the spec of the RAM, it was auto at 1st. Then i changed to 5-5-5-15 as written on my RAM box. anything with wat i set?

you need to set the rest of the timings if you changed it from auto to manual ._.

take a pic of your current bios settings and i can help you out from there

I'm away from my PC now.. I'm in SG and my comp is at home in JB. Will take a snapshot later in the morning when i reach home.. =) THanks man..

i would suggest that u post this in the existing threads bro. coz moderators are very particular with this stuff

May i ask where the thread is? I'll be glad to do so.

Is it me or is your rams running at 1276mhz!!

Haha, cool! Yeah... 638x2 makes 1276mhz!!

oh yeah i just noticed... his ram... damn dude, give me your rams

well i dunno how to set it.. lolz.. i'm newbie.. that's why i'm asking. I'm just using the Easy Tune 5 Pro to OC.. lolz.. pls guide me further. IF my ram is rate 1066MHZ how to up the CPU mhz without affecting th RAM mhz?

just set your ram:fsb in BIOS to 1:1 simple... its all in BIOS.. guys who use GGBYTE help him out!

You can't... Unless I'm wrong. Your RAM frequencies will be determined by your FSB. Ever entered your BIOS?

wow..men ! your mem 638.4Mhz, eh what type mem did u used?.. ddr3 ? hehehe..sorry.. I'm using 2GB Team Extreme PC8500 1066MHZ 5-5-5-15 RAM..i'm reading using my leg.. hahah

Hmm , my CPU is running 333, how to set my ram to run at 333? it's almost impossible dude. stock is running 533 adi ler..

Added on March 9, 2008, 10:23 pmErm.. of course i have enter my BIOS before.. -.-" BTW, my board revision is the latest 1 i think. P35-DS3P F7 , the bios firmware i think..

the reason why the rams are having that ratio is coz the e6550 runs at 333Mhz i believe and at default your ram runs at 533Mhz. So if u do set it at default. Then the ratio is set as

333:533 = 1:1.6 NOW, thats why when u set your FSB to 400Mhz, it became

400:400*1.6 = 400:640

So your rams are at 640Mhz*2 = 1280Mhz. See the logic now?

?? No ler.. it's a DDR2 lai de.. DS3P dun support DDR3. What is that suppose to mean? I'm blur.. lolz..

dun confuse yourself.. read the last post i put. Thats the logic behind your ram speeds. The only way to change that is to change the ratio in the BIOS itself to 1:1

Yea i get the logic, the thing is how to set the ram to perform lower? and up my CPU? do i have to do it from BIOS? or can do it in windows?

go to the BIOS,. and search for the FSB:DRAM ratio and set it to either 1:1 or 1:1.2

You can check your board revision on the board itself only, on the top left corner. It's written there.

bro, i mean your mem speed is too high, that why it's fail, check in the BIOS setting, there is option for mem i.e, 400,533,667,800 and 1066, try set 800 only..

It'll be something called SPD Multiplier for your board... Try setting it to 2.0 or 2.4 and lower your RAM timing, at the same time check the vdimm. If it's 1.8, set +0.2 in your BIOS.

why do u even have to worry about the revision... just worry about the SPD multiplier or something related to that ratio

You can read my step-by-step guide to overclocking.... it's in my sig.....

Ram multiplier settings also included.....

fuyoh, boss kmarc here di.. yeah look at his guide to set... but..

Thanks you so much boss.. I read ur guide before but that was before i got this rig.. keke then now i get adi i forgot where to find ..

@a1098113
but wat?

but its really not good for boards other than gigabyte unless Kmarc has done a rough overview for other boards in general too.. coz its been a month i have seen his guide.

But his guide suites me the most even tho it's not the exact model, but i'm able to keep up since almost all of the item are somehow similiar.. =)

find fsb:dram or dram speed in ur bios..change it to 333:667...it will make ur ram run 1:1

coz its gigabyte dude... if i am using Abit, would his reference help me with my settings... that i dont know.. maybe Kmarc can work on more references.

Added on March 9, 2008, 10:55 pmwrong change it to 333:333 or 1:1 or 333:400 which is 1:1.2

trying to find that in the guide..

It's something called SPD Multiplier, not ratio -.-" Different term for GGbyte boards

2.00 is the 1:1 divider

coolice as usual.. delivers the right goods at the right time. Now, gene, u should get it right, if not, hit your head on the wall Thanks coolio

Turn to Page 51 of your motherboard's manual... You can read up almost everything there with plain explaination...

Fuiyoh.. Thanks man.. I Will try that.. 1 more question. If my RAM is rated at 1066, i still can boot with lower RAM speed rite?

Yeap... Correct, I tried mine with 800mhz before.

will try when i reach home tomolo. and post here for result. THanks mate.

running your ram within it's rated range will sure be no problem,
but then if there is a problem, most probably it's your ram is faulty.
you can RMA it since it's not working at it's rated spec.
