400HTT on AM2 Board (SPi 32M)

[SeLecT]

I've tested my AM2-Mainbaord a little bit and one of my test was the max HTT. I don't know, if this is a normal score, because i think only few people test the max FSB/HTT on AM2. I only see Inteltests ;)

My System:

AMD X2 4000+ 65nm
Foxconn C51XEM2AA
4*512MB DDR2-667 Kingmax
Asus X1950Pro
Seasonic 380W

Here my score: 398*7 (More HTT isn't possible because in the bios 400Mhz is the maximum. Higher settings in clockgen he wouldn't change...)

Nice HTT speed :toast: I am in the middle of an AM2 upgrade with a 3600+ Brisby and a DFI nf590 mobo. I will have to see if I can do similar results :)

[hstuehmeyer2000]

nice ht

[dice]

Nice, the most I've hit with my DFI Infinity Ultra II-M2 was 390. Dunno how much more it is capable of.

Priming doesn't really test HTT stability. You need to loop 3DMark at high resolutions to stress HTT. It's an I/O bus afterall.

The most awesome thing about AMD K8 is that the there's no need for extreme HTT speeds (>>300MHz) because multipliers are high enough for 3GHz -range and there are memory dividers that are smaller than CPU multipliers.

wow i have the same board....never knew it could do that though

never really pushed it that far.

[mAJORD]

that's great stuff. Thanks for posting,

It would be great to see more peoples max HTT results on different boards.. If I'd known about the DFI 590 being such a peice of :banana::banana::banana::banana: for high HTT I would have avoided it for use as a OCing/ test board :)

yeah, the highest i've seen with my dfi.. it's a pita to get it over 340-360mhz

i think it's very cpu dependant though

Nice to see some AM2 results in the middle of an Intel rampage :D

Good job dude!

I havent played much with AM2 yet but is it PITA to clock easily on AM2 ? than it was with 939 ???

What RAM did you use for that? With 2x1GB I have a bad problem with two different CPUs where with high HTT, the higher memory dividers (DDR2-400, DDR2-533, etc.) stop working. So I can easily POST at 370 HTT with 2x256MB but with 2x1GB, anything higher than 260 and only the lowest DDR2-800 /5 divider works :(

wow.... Very nice, maybe I need to sell this 6000+ to get a Brisbane!

99% certain it is 2x1gb pc6400 ballistix

I thought so. There's something funny going on with the NForce 590 and non-Micron D9 RAM.

ram shouldn't matter, the chipset never sees it.... :confused:

That's what I thought too, but I can get Micron D9 to boot at 360x8 and all the dividers work, with ProMOS I can only boot at 330x8 max because at that high HTT, only the /5 DDR2-800 divider works. Similar problem with two different CPUs, so it has to be a motherboard (maybe BIOS) issue.
