Thanks! I'll have to study up because i don't know jack crap about any of those.
I noticed that when I had the DS3 to AUTO mode in the BIOS, it would quickly jump the mem timing to 5-7-7-15. I was considering upping the RAS/CAS and RAS precharge, but that actually decreases the performance...
You mean i need to modify my 5-5-5-15 settings to something else....or I need to modify things like the following?
ACT to ACT delay
Bank Write to READ delay
Write to precharge delay
Refresh to ACT delay
Read to precharge delay
I was thinking of changing the cycle time (tRAS) from 15 to...
Current specs:
460 FSB
+2 each on MCH and FSB
+3 on vDIMM
1.400v on CPU
37C board temp
47C CPU at full load
This will allow me to run ORTHOS without a hard lock, but I get a calculation fault critical stop. Any overvolts less than what i listed above means a complete hardlock or...
You read my mind. I just hit the wall at 450 fsb with 1.32v on the proc. When i went to 460 I got a BSOD upon boot to WinXP.
I want to avoid 1.35v on the cpu at the moment, but I was going to touch +.1 on the FSB and MCH right now. We'll see how it behaves.
SUCCESS!
Everyone....damn...what awesome responses and feedback! This is truly a living, breathing forum with good willed individuals that absolutely want to help.
Thanks Zero82z. The multiplier is what i was looking at but my brain wasn't clicking at midnight to the fact I needed to...
Trust me, that was the first thing to go through my head: bad hardware. But what hardware? CPU, MB or mem?
I'm tempted to run to the toy store (Frys) and grab some pimptastic memory to throw in here and troubleshoot, but I feel dirty abusing a vendor like that. I just read another thread...
I don't have a divider section in the DS3 bios to dynamically set a 1:1 ratio. Is my motherboard defective, or am I? Here's a screenshot of intelligent tweaker after I hit Ctrl-F1 (with my maximum stable settings):
BIOS
My FSB:DRAM ratio is 2:3, and with a bus frequency of 300 at this...
Sorry kids. I had to do some work on my HTPC upstairs and had "the project" offline. I'll hook it up and lock the ram to 1:1 and see how it goes. Honestly, if I can get this thing close to 3gigs, I'd call it a success. I'm not a complete clock cycle slut just yet.....and i mean that in the...
It's still not stable past 300 but at least I can do so on a lower 1.3v on the cpu and the memory at the stock 5-5-5-15 settings. At 310 FSB it will boot but hard locks within seconds of stress. Bumping the cpu to 1.32v didn't help but i didn't touch anything else.
I've experimented with...
Thanks a million for the informative responses guys.
Cintirich, I did everything you suggested (but forgot to lockdown the RAM timings) and i'll post screenshots when i get a moment. Also I did a 10 loop Sisoft Sandra 2007 burn-in without faults. Even under load the temps never got past 39C.
Having some serious OC problems!
After seeing 5 million positive threads on multiple forums, I wanted to take the plunge on an OC; which is something I havent done since the good ol Celeron 300A days.
