Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
alright now im just confused
blend test ran for 12.5 hours on 190x11, 1.75 vcore - no errors
bumped it up to 195, had an error within 5 minutes. Bumped vcore up to 1.775, took SIX HOURS to get an error.
Back down to 190, tried upping the multi to 11.5 (fsb is the same, therefore the...
I looked but unless I missed it, I did not see an option to increase voltage to the chipset.
I ran the blend test for about 12 hours without an error on 185MHz FSB. Bumped it up to 190MHz and letting it run again for another 12 hours. Hopefully I can get it up to 195 or so, and then increase...
Ok, I've taken out a stick of memory and ran the blend test with FSB at 200mhz. Failed. (although it did run for 6 minutes- longer than usual)
Swapped sticks. Failed again.
I find it hard to believe that neither stick is stable @ 200mhz, when they are both advertised to be so. They are not...
Do you think that the error Im getting in the blend test is directly related to my random restarts?
i.e. - if I can get rid of that, I can assume it should stop restarting?
my computer just restarted during a game again.... so I un-overclocked it back to default speeds... seeing if it stays stable. So far, so good.
If it does NOT reboot for a couple days, then for whatever reason it only reboots when OCed. Im going to test RAM again to see if both sticks are...
I can't really touch memory timings. I mean, I have the ability to in BIOS, but for example:
Right now I'm at 11x200, with timings of 7-3-3-2T. If i even change the option to "Optimal" - it changes them to 9-4-4-3T. If I save and exit, the system will not post. I cannot say that I have a solid...
OK, tried swapping out RAM sticks, still failing the blend test right away....
turned my CPU settings back to default (11x166, 1.65vcore)
and the test has been running for ~5 minutes without an error yet.
What would cause this error to show up only when OC'ed?
I guess the bettter...
Self-Test 8K passed so far on SMALL FFT test.... I have 2 sticks of 512, so I will try taking one out and running the blend test and see if the error goes away, and vice versa.
Reason I'm up to that voltage is because when I started to OC, I just kept upping it until it was stable.
i.e. I had it on say 1.7, It restarted before it even got to windows logon screen. 1.75, got into windows but after 30 seconds it restarted. 1.775, seemed stable but restarted when...
Thanks - I'll run Prime95 and see what happens
as for the first response - I don't believe it has a P4 connector, but I'm not really familiar with what that is, anyway I can check? :o
20 seconds into a blend test:
Test 1, 4000 Lucas-Lehmer iterations of M19922945 using 1024K FFT length...
I know system specs will be helpful, so I'll start with those.
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
AMD Barton 2500+ OC'ed @ 2.2GHz (11x200, 1.8vcore)
Antec SL400 (400W) Power Supply
1 GB PC3200 RAM
Nvidia 7600 GS OC 512MB AGP Video Card
(2) 7200 RPM HDs
I've had about 3 random restarts in the past...
