btw guys, how many hours should i run prime95 before i can conclude that the machine is stable?

some ppl said suppose 8 hour
n i prefer 1 hours n playing game after that ..test in 3 days.. if got no bsod.. so good already for ur system

8 hours?

i guess i should cut it into 1/2 lah. 4 hours only. since my lil' bro and sis want to use the PC

Noob question how can I measure power consumption...

then can follow my advice..then let ur sis test kaw kaw with her work.. later got shout , imean bsod, just bump a lil volt..or lower down ur clock

read previous page.. uwill find the answer.. hint , my SS

i lol'ed

anyway, i don't quite understand the RAM part.

at the DRAM config, there's DDR2 800/667/ 533/400 etc, then there's the timing and the command rate, and down there got some uber stuffs that i don't know.

mine currently set (manually) at DDR2 533, and the timing is 5-5-5-15 while the command rate is 2T.

the DDR2 533 is the RAM divider right?

let say i want to OC past 250mhz, should i play around with the RAM configs again and up my vcore/vdimm or just up the vcore/vdimm?

before this i try to up the vcore to 1.300V and the vdimm to 1.9V (the proc bus is 260mhz, HTT multi X3) but the PC won't boot.

guess that's the limit of my proc eh?

as i dunno what is ur current hardware now.. can u list it out??
some more, see at ur sigs 2gb ram.. while in oc SS u attach before it's 1gb only.. can give a new SS?

oops, now that u mention it, i forgot to edit the siggy. that crucial is for my future intel rig project i copypaste wrongly

the spec is like in (edited) siggy:

AMD Athlon X2 3600+ 2.0Ghz@2.51Ghz
Abit KN9S mobo Nforce 550 Chipset
1GB KVR DDR2 667Mhz
160GB+640GB WD HDD
Colorful ATi Radeon X1650XT DDR3 512MB
22" Samsung 226BW
Windows Vista Ultimate SP1
Coolermaster Extreme Power 430W PSU

u should look first at divider table at main post.
when u set at divider 533 it just yield around the default speed of ur ram.. so there is no problem..

what i'm thinking now it maybe come from the insufficient voltage that supply to ur own proc.. other hardware give the factor also why u cant achieve 260 HTT

u mean the mobo is holding me back eh since i pumped more vcore yesterday up to 1.350V also the system won't boot..

posibly ur proc or psu

i use psu calculator, my psu gave me more than adequate watts (assuming the extremepower 430W has 70% efficiency)

perhaps it's my proc then

from DDR2 667Mhz down to 533Mhz

266Mhzx2=533Mhz

HTT increase from 200Mhz to 251Mhz = 51Mhz increase

so 266Mhz+51Mhz = 317Mhz

317Mhz x2 = 634Mhz DDR2 speed, which is still below the rated RAM speed of 667Mhz

issit correct?

another question...what is the latest version?
suitable for phenom x3?

I do not think the way you calculate the ram speed is correct.
Please go and understand how to read the AM2 divider table.

-pWs-

ugh, ok

For your case.
You using Brisby 3600.

Multi: 10 --> Refer to Multi 10 Table.
Divider: 533 --> As mentioned by u earlier.

1. See the 533 column in that table.
2. Left most column is HTT.
3. In your case, HTT 250. Table should show u 625MHz.

Got it?

Another way.

You can straight calculate out.
As you see 533MHz column there, there is 533/8 right?

Ram = CPU/8

Take your speed replace in CPU den divide by 8.

Let say: 250 x10 (Your case)
2500 / 8 = 312.5MHz

In order to get real DDR speed, double it.

312.5 x 2 = 625MHz.

ah thanks bro no wonder im a bit clueless..the HTT have to multiply by 10 then only can divide by 8. i forgot to multiply

btw here's the screeny:



btw, i'm thinking of beating goldfries's record. he's using stock cooler and valuerams too @2.509Ghz

CR rate change to 2t...

Added on October 1, 2008, 6:54 pmmaybe u can find CBI Black edition punyer

change to 2T eh.

for >2.5Ghz, should i up the vcore + vdimm or vcore only?since the RAM hasn't reach it's rated speed yet. how bout vNB etc etc?

pushing my luck
