I asked here as ALL of you are athlon64 users and somebody has to have done it before..

Need to know where I can get a replacement Bios Chip as Shuttle is slower than Molasses in replying to my request.

how'd u currupted it?

I installed some new Ram, went up to 210 FSB and the thing BSOD'd.. when it rebooted, It said "configuring LAN Mac address" and shut itself off.. Has not posted since. All it does is blink the HDD LED once Pauses then blinks twice..

The CPU is still good as it works fine on my Gigabyte K8N Pro..

[TheDude]

You didn't clear cmos after installing new ram? It tried to boot with old timings I assume?

Yep, did clear Bios.. Booted fine at 200-205, But did this at 210...

I thought the shuttle has a backup somewhere, but that might be my DFI Infinity that has that..

EDIT: Just got the Email from Shuttle (which was totally useless )But they confirmed the Bios is :" If the problem still encounter, we are afraid your BIOS chip is crush" :rolleyes:

[TheDude]

Try asking Shuttle where to buy one or to send you one. Excaliberpc has them, but as far as I know they only carry Abit.
You could try to match yours with a blank one at Radio Shack and then hot flash it if you have a friend with that mobo?

Try here:

Fixing this is quite simple actually.. as long as you have another mobo up and running. You just install the shuttle bios-chip in the other system while its up in windows or dos (depening on which flashprogram you are using). Then you force the shuttle-bios in to the chip. Remember to download the correct bios first :)

If you are using an Abit MOBO and flashmenu to do it, you must check out the "Ignore BIOS partnumber check" which is located under "Advanced setting", or else the flashmenu will stop cause the bios differs with the MOBO. When using the DOS based flash app. you need to use the -f parameter IIRC.


Prolly a real bad explanation, but i just woke up and im REALLY tired. Just let me know if you diddn´t understand :)

[TheDude]

Formann,

That's really handy! I did not know you could force the bios flash like that! :thumbsup:

I'm writing this tip down!;)

:ROTF:

cant you damage the socket and/or bios chip like that?

u people r crazy :wierd:

[edit]

btw my chip is a week 51 chip (a64)

[TheDude]

soccrstar,

It's the same as Hotflashing it which I have done many times with no problems...except you force it to flash to a different brand mobo.

[soccrstar]

w0w

i gotta try that sometime :-D

wit my luck i'd make something go KABL00M :flame:

UGGH.. Why didn't I think of that :confused:

since I Got my Gigabyte K8N pro sitting here, Should work like a Charm... THANKS..

OOPS.. I guess I will try with the DFI.. The Gigabyte has the Chips soldered to the board :(

[Astennu]

Think i got a bad core here: CAAOC 0350 XPMW.

I'm running it on a Shuttle AN50R @ Prommie R507. If temp gous lower than -43 @ evapor the system locks up. Max speed that i got was 2600 @ 1.72v :confused: Ram running @ 5:4.

Anyone that knows the lockup bug @ subzero temps ? + a Fix for it ?

Got my 3400+ yesterday, and i'm well chuffed with it!
So far almost got 2,5 gig @ 1.7Vcore stock cooler w/ an awfull lot of shin etsu that came as stock.

Tonight i'm gonna put a better fan on it, a 70mm that came from a volcano 7+, so i'm sure 2,5 GHz will be done easily. :)

I'm running this CPU in a Shuttle AN50R.
Running Cas2 doesn't allow anything higher than 217x11, running cas 2,5 does 226x11 stable. (3d mark, superpi and pifast)
Timings 2,5-2-2-6-12-16

Stepping is in the picture. ;)

I'm having the same cpu lying around here.
It's doing 2440 @ 1.7v on water while using the Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP

I haven't modded my mobo yet, so I'm hoping for better results in a few days :)

@ EmineM: This is a CAAAC on water, a 0345 RPMW to be precise ;)

[centaur]

today we got 2560MHz (10x256mhz) on a epox 8hda3+
the 3200+ is vapochilled and stable :)
he make a superpi time from 34secs in 1M

[EmineM]

Anyone can tell me their results with a A64 3200 + CAAAC under Air / prommy whatever
pls :) thx

Coming up next: 3000 + cascade :up:

I'd have the 3400 and the extra cache ...

Being old I remember the days when AMD64's did 2300 out of the box or on water .. now it is 2600 .. CAATC now eh

CAAKC -> CAAMC -> CAAOC - > CAATC ( 2004 vintage )

What's happened to CAA P Q R S C ?

Prescott looks doomed at this rate, AMD have added 300Mhz in 4 months which is 15%, prescott looks dodgy at 3.7Ghz max.

Regards

Andy

[zakelwe]

PS Good luck macci, i am sure you think you can get more speed out of the 3000 to offset the lack of cache ... 3.2Ghz+ ?????

Regards

Andy

[macci]

Thanks :)
I'll give it a shot tomorrow w/ cascade. It will do over 3G - the question is how much over 3G :D

As far as SuperPi 8M goes the 3000 needs only 20-30MHz extra to match the 1MB L2 cache chip. And it seems to overclock some 50-60MHz higher than the 3400+ :)

[sandman]

Macci, I'd take the 3400+, sell it and buy two 3000+ and see if they go higher. :D

[|RickY|]

macci i think on 3dmark the extra cache makes more diferençe than on superpi,

and maybe the extra multiplier of 3.4+ will help on 1:1 runs

[macci]

Ricky, thats quite possible. I'll test 3dmark once I'm done with SuperPi :D
5m 54sec now for SPI8M watercooled.

[LukeK]

Just wondering, anyone notice a difference between the 3400+ retail and OEM chip's oc wise??...and if so what...also what are most people running retail chips?

[ThorinMan]

As far as i know the oem and the retail are the same exact chip. The retail just is in a box and come with a heat sink. Where the owm gets sold in a little plastic "case" and thats it. If you ask me i would feel better geting a box. I dont like the feeling of walkign out of the store with an inch by inch square of silicon that i just paid close to 400 dollars for.

[Zeus]

Also, the boxed version comes with a 3 year warrenty, where the tray got 1 year, not that i'll keep it that long..

The boxed cooler is quite nice with a full copper base.

It's up to you wheter it's worth it.

I think they oc the same since they're exactly the same chips.

Got 2536MHz PiFast stable out of mine with the boxed cooler and 1.7V
Only thing i changed was the fan.

[macci]

3400 + cascade

SuperPi 8M:

http://www.akiba-pc.com/e107_images/articles/a64_3000/k8n_3105_spi8m_5m20s.gif

3000+ is going in next :D

[EmineM]

can you do Super 1M :) pls :p thats an awesome speed you gained.

[Zeus]

Wow macci, how about some 3d mark benches with that 3400+ at those speeds?

I fear 31K! :slobber:

Even if the 3000+ can match the speed of that 3400+, the 3400+ will benefit from the extra cache and be better.

[macci]

EmineM, yup SPi 1M runs at 3116MHz - 28sec.

[bmg]

macci can you refresh my memory on what motherboard you're using?

[macci]

Gigabyte K8N Pro

[macci]

The 3000+ is still kicking 3400s butt :D

http://www.akiba-pc.com/e107_images/articles/a64_3000/k8n_3000_spi8m_5m19s.gif

[Zeus]

Very nice macci, but what about the 512kb extra cache the 3400+ is wearing, don't you think that will make a big difference in 3d mark 2k1?

I know SuperPi likes bandwidth, so the 5Mhz more HTT (FSB)
on the 3000+ might have made the difference?

Anyways, 2 superchips for 1 super overclocker! :toast:

[Burner Man]

sami, which voltage?

thanks ;)

[macci]

Alex, its at 2.04V. the board acts funny if I put more Vcore. The chip would love it thou. Need to fix that :D

[zakelwe]

Looks like my guess was a little low, and limited by the board it seems. :TOAST:

Nice work as always, looking forward to see which is best in 3dmark. Do you think you will lose many Mhz doing 3dmark ? If not then a few rough calculations say over 31k as mentioned above.

I'm playing around with my new replacment AMD tonight (CAAAC week 45 ) to see if it can better my older CAAMC which blew up. It has to beat 3400Mhz but it is not looking too good yet.

Nether the less , at stock with 5800 it is as fast as my P4 at 3600 5:4 2-5-2-2.

Thanks heavens for high IPC :)

awesome results macci :toast:

you continue to set the standard (no matter what CPU is in your hands)

[andyddr]

Cheese n Rice! Macci those are brill results. Ever planning on coming to South Africa for a holiday and tweaking my system for me? I`ll buy u all the beer u want (after the mod that is).

[J0k3r3]

Hey guys, especially you macci: how come no one here is really playing with the FX-51? Is it because it is a too expensive of a cpu to mess around with or what?

macci is it me or does te 3000+ just oc better than the other a64s or you just got lucky :D well i seen opp get over 3ghz with his too but you guys are using mondo cooling.. -- Which is the best cpu to mess around with if you have phase change cooling and money is not an option? Thx.

[GomerPyle]

I've just clocked my a64 3400+ to 2670 but with mem divider.
When I use 1:1 my Mushkin lvl2 PC3500 wont go over FSB 235.

When I raise the vdimm from 2.98 to 3.20 it gets worse. Can it be that I have to raise the vbt or something?
If so, can anyone please link or show a picture of where to measure the vbt.
Seen the mod at Maccis homepage, but cant see where to measure.

2670 was done with 1.84v and LDTx2

EDIT: 2700mhz with mem at 220mhz cas 2 2 2 6.
Just want to be able to do 1:1

Is 1:1 much better than with an divider? Or is that not so important with the a64 anymore? :confused: :)

[Zeus]

It would be helpfull to tell wich board you're on.... :)

[GomerPyle]

Oh Sorry forgot about that. I'm running on a Gigabyte K8NNXP.

on xtreme air but my prom 1 and prom 2 on 507 will not get higher.

so i need other motherboard

[Bennah]

Cant get any higher with either a mach I or a mach II, you defo need a new board then.

Yup get the K8N-Pro, im getting one for a A64 3000+ im getting ;)

[Elucid]

How are people getting so high on the FSB with asus k8v mobos? the highest stable i can get is 225fsb x10 @1.5vcore. After that it corrupts my HD. Using a seagate SATA HDD on the via SATA controller

[s e t h]

s-ata is your likely the problem. try ide.

[J0k3r3]

peter any hdd corruption> are you using a 66mhz pci card?

well i had the gigabyte k8nnxp before and it would not oc at all with my khx4000 1:1 ratio. guess it does not like cas 3 mushkin bh-6 did fine though

[EmineM]

whats so good about the k8n...

[J0k3r3]

does very high fsb...stable as hell ...does not kill as many cpus as the an50r :)

[soccrstar]

this is the most stable OC i can get
temp is 55C Idle on stock cooling
i lost mounting hardware for my waterblock new set got shipped be here friday
need a vcore n vmem volt mod to go any higher
memory crashes @ 270
prime crashes after a second if i do 2.45 or higher
more volts needed!!
thinkin' of gettin' radioshack part #278-017 to do the vmodds n the 47k pot

I think its only for the Via chipset, check the clockgen's website and make sure you downloaded the correct version.

[A64'uSER]

Hmm... Okay... I'll try to find out of something ;)

[A64'uSER]

Damn. It is'nt supported for my mobo' :( Do any of you know another clock program to the CPU?

I use it all the time on my AN50R, make sure everything is on auto in bios, except for LDT (set it to 2,5), Vcore and Vdimm.

Make sure you have the version for NF3 mobo's.

GL.

Weird... My nForce3 drivers has really gived me alot of trouble... In the start i could'nt start op in win when i've just installede my drivers... SÃ¥ maybe i have to re-install windows?

I just read this tread from the 1st page. Damn - I am waiting for new chipsets and then I am buying a 3000+ :D

[zakelwe]

My new replacement AMD64 3200 for the CAAMC 0334 is a CAAAC 0345.

This does 2440 on air for 3dmark up 60Mhz from about 2380 or so. This is air cooled and fairly warm so there might be another 20-30Mhz in it.

Regards

Andy

[EmineM]

Anyone got a Athlon 64 3200 + CAAMC here ? with similar code to 0347XPMW.. its brown

that was similar to my old chip.

New Beetles clock speed is OK, macci can do 3150 with cascade though ...

I have a CAAMC 0339XPMW and Brown.. Have had it up to 2540 Mhz with Chilled Water..

It has been a Tough Cpu.. Been up to 2.1 Vcore and 3.8V Vdimm and still running strong

Wish I could say the same for the AN50R.. It died a Noble death..

[EmineM]

sweet did you try running it with the boxed cooler?
How much vcore did you give the beast for 2540 MHZ

[nutcase]

Originally posted by EmineM

I was running 1.95V to hit 2540 Mhz.. Had it up to 2.1V but no increase in Speed over 1.95V..

On the stock cooler it hit 2350 Mhz and 1.85V.. Ran too hot anything over that..

Edit: The cpu will do higher But the Ram gave out at 2540 Mhz... Going to pick up some OCZ BH-6 today and see what it will do with it and my Gigabyte K8N Pro..

[EmineM]

1.85 V on Boxed O_O I imagine the temps..

[Pedro Rocha]

A64 3200+ new CAAOC stepping- 2.500Mhz with the Stock Cooler, no vmods and just 1.66v on core ..

http://home.kqnet.pt/wo034892/A64_2500_aAr.jpg

[Epsilon]

well
i did 2400mhz on an asus k8v (10x240) and 1.85v

stock cooled

No big deal :)

55C isn't TO bad for aircooling

[s e t h]

here's a brown 3000+ caaoc 0352 xpmw on a gigabyte k8n-pro with vcore mod at 1.85vcore. memory was not behaving though
temps at around 45' in mbm under a venus12 - ambient 26'

[EmineM]

Rocha gimme some numbers on that CAAOC.. is it brown?
XPMW?

[Losty]

I was wondering, how come do you guys only get it down to 36/37 secs with fsb 250?
Mine is 35 sec, at fsb 245. Done on the Abit KV8max3 board, with vcore 1.75

[s e t h]

my memory was at about 210 with 8-3-3-2.0 timings. that is not helping at all.
also the nf3 boards seem to bench a bit slower than the kt800's

[soccrstar]

http://users.rcn.com/trackstar2001/bench/285fsb_4gb_mem_bdwdth.JPG

not bad for a unmodded board eh?

35mhz over stock on ram

[edit]
what to know something

with the heatspreader i could only achieve 261mhz stable
without it i'm currently at 285mhz

that tape that goes on the ram with the spreaders are pathedic

[EmineM]

Those week 034 - 037 just seem to rock

[soccrstar]

blah

mine says 0351

would 51 be the week?
or 35? :confused:

[EmineM]

soccrestar nice stuff you got there.. how much volt are u running thru the ram?

[soccrstar]

the most the mobo will let me... 2.9V
1.7V on CPU
LDT 1.5V


pick now works

http://users.rcn.com/trackstar2001/bench/volts.JPG


CPU temp is a little high
on stock cooling
gon goto fedex right now and pick up the replacement screws for my water block. i lost them :stick:

[TheDude]

soccrstar,

I went back to other posts to try to see what memory you are using and don't see it?

[EmineM]

according to CPU Z Memory page its OCZ PC 4000 .. need glasses hehe :)?

[TheDude]

hmmmm....no glasses...just new brain....thanks

Our screen resolutions are so different that I didn't even see that screenshot on mine...had to scroll over.

Previous 3200+ CAAMC give me 2.400 on Stock cooler and 2.800 on the Prometeia..

So this new chip should give me around 2.900Mhz when I mount it on the Prometeia :D



ola pedro :)

como andas amigo?

Estou com um 3400 da mesma serie , rodando estavel a 2550mhz , estou com dois 3200 , um roda estavel 2500 o outro não passa de 2350mhz , ruinzinho esse.


meu dual chiller esta quase pronto , um ano trabalhando nele, desde nossa ultima conversa por mp no forum pcs lembra?

A potencia é estupida , o menor para gpu 3\4hp tecumseg unit lbp r404a -35@400w esta trabalhando a 180w@-55 para a gpu.

O grande 1 1\4 hp tecumseg unit lbp r404a -35@890w esta trabalhando a 380w@-55 para a cpu , usando uma bomba velocite t3 titanium e um block especial , 3c de delta a 226w no simulador

estou terminando a air lite box para enfiar a xt e a giga dentro da caixinha e rodar :)

e juntando dinheiro para pagar a conta da luz por pelo menos um mes , 1600w as duas unidade :(

depois de uma visitada na phase-change e olhe os chiller , vc vai gostar , embora não esteja com todas as fotos da de ter ideia da COISA

hello pedro

you fine friend?

I am with a 3400 of the same series, rotating stable to 2550mhz, I am with two 3200, a stable wheel 2500 the other non raisin of 2350mhz, bad that.


my dual chiller this almost ready one, one year working in it, from our last chat for mp in the forum pcs reminds?

The potency is stupid, the smallest for gpu 3\4hp tecumseg unit lbp r404a -35@400w this working to 180w@-55 for the gpu.

The great 1 1\4 hp tecumseg unit lbp r404a -35@890w this working to 380w@-55 for the cpu, using a pump velocite t3 titanium and a special block, 3c of delta to 226w in the simulator

I am finishing the air lite box to thread the xt and the giga inside of the little box and to rotate

and joining money to pay the bill of the light for at least one month, 1600w the two unit

after visit phase-change and look at the chiller, you will like, although it is not with all the pictures of the one you having idea of the THING

hit ctrl and F1 on the main bios page. it will unhide the advanced chipset features where the ldt and memory timings are visable.

Best 3400 Ive seen so far was one that did 2650 MHZ at 1.7v under a Mach II...

Yup you are scoring good for the latency, 300FSb aswell :eek:

What cooling are you using by the way

[soccrstar]

do you have to cool the northbridge well on the an540r to get high FSB

mine locks up @ 300fsb
but fine @ 299fsb

did drop multiplier n set ram to 100 in bios so neither of those was a factor




ouch the Heatsink on the shuttle northbridge is so hot it burnt hands guess u do :-x

i guess thats the reason why and i'm only at 230mhz FSB testin' cpu

dammit wheres my NB waterblock

How do i get an fsb of above 230mhz with a Asus K8V Dlx and a 3400+ without doing vmods?.

Will i need a Pci ATA controller, or how do i do it??.

Or should i go after the Shuttle board?, after what i have read around, a lot of Nforce 3 board dies??. I have a 8KNNXP which suddenly became unstable, it will randomly boot, so now i need a new mainboard.

Kind regards.

No problem here either with an AN50R, A64 3000+ and 9800 PRO. Currently clocked at 2448mhz (272x9) @1.68v with 5:6 memory divider. Very pleased now that I am watercooled. Dropped my load temps 12-15 C over air.

my friend has a 0352XMPW and it does 2800 MHZ under a Mach II
so I guess people should search for XMPW CPU's my SPMW only did 2750 or so

Cooled by a Mach II un modded style :)
1.88vcore

other volts at stock
with some decend R404a cooling I would hit 3 GHZ certainly

There is a huge thread over at futuremark.com on this render bench and this guy here has the highest I have seen so far.

[RootX]

from futuremark forum
I only wanted to take the lead over Mdawg, but when I saw someone pulling 3m 46s wiht a 2.8ghz 3400+ I knew I had to take thta down.

Hm, time to bench at 2.92GHz, :p:

[pookeyhead]

Relatively new to OCing... but been reading this thread with interest. Gotan A64 3400+ here, on a Asus K8V Deluxe. I read that the promise controller is on the secondaty PCI and locked at 33MHz... so using that.. but still can't get stable at over 220MHz (currently at 215). Why should this be when so many people are getting way higher?

Rig:

Asus K8V Deluxe (Bios 1005)

Athlon 64 3400+ (not sure of stepping.. will remove HSF later)

Corsair XMS Pro 4000 (2x 512) running at 2-3-3-6

2x Seagate ST380012A SATA drives on the onboard Promise controller

Hercules Radeon 9800Pro

[EmineM]

Will beat those 3 , 43 tonight :)
see you then

[s e t h]

pookeyhead - go ide or better yet get a 33/66mhz ide or s-ata controller. you have dropped the multiplier and memory divider to rule those out as possible issues?

[RootX]

:D

Not tested fully yet... but suspect the RAM is holding me back at the timings I have. Little point in trying until I get a PCI SATA card then, as it's pretty much maxed out.

BTW... I thought the onboard Promise controller was locked anyway? Wouldn't that be teh same as putting in a PCI card? Locked is locked isn't it?

Forgive me is this has been asked.. but this is a MASSIVE thread now... i did look.. but it's easy to overlook something in a thread this size.

[s e t h]

common wizdom says the s-ata and pci controllers are not locked. but some huge fsb's of well over 300 have been achieved on gigabyte k8n with ide drive only. so gigabyte seems locked. i have not tested s-ata on this board - only ide drives. no corruption 250 fsb

i have driven the shuttle with my raptor on the s-ata ports and got corruption at 220fsb as well. that was a very early revision with the shipping bios only.

the sis755chipset on a jetway board did not corrupt the s-ata drive. this was at 233fsb which is the bios' max. this seems to be due to a better quality southbridge and or southbridge to northbridge bus in sis755 chipset. jetway support said no lock is present on their 755max

rootx - smooookinggg!

RootX, thats just sick man!! :D
I just can't get under 4 min! :mad:
Best so far 4min 3sec, might be the mem maxing out at 233?

Thanx man, it's a sick piece of silicon, :)

I believe, the author mentioned that it's only cpu dependent, therefore we can easily find out by running the mem async and note any changes in the score.

[A64'uSER]

Hey guys!

I need some help here...

I have just put my Zalman NCPS7000A-CU (Or something) on to cool my CPU, but my idle temp. is 38 Celsius - Is'nt that pretty much for such a good cololer?

My CPU is'nt overclocked at the moment.


Hope you can help me...

EDIT: My full load temp. is 48

[s e t h]

if ambient temp is warm and case is closed with little air flow you could see 36' idle imho.

[A64'uSER]

My ambient temp is 25c degrees. The case is'nt closed... there's one fan in the back, it's taking all the warm air out, and then i have one fan in the front, it's taking "fresh" air in... I can't understand it :(

I am using Silver grease thermal paste, but i will try some AS5 tomorrow

Well my Prometeia is finally running again and this is at stock voltage of 1.7V so far with Gigabyte K8N Pro.

Cole thats very slick bro :toast:

On 1.7V aswell :slobber:

[andyddr]

Dam Cole well done. You really got a nice chip there...and to think I could have had it :brick:

Guess I`ll have to be happy with 37s for now until phase change is ready. What you guys think of 2.38G with 1.68V on a CAAMC 0341WPMW on air? Do these steppings look promissing? Looks like cooling makes a HUGE difference with these chips. Oh let there be a god and bless me with a nice fast chip...andy get`s on his knees and starts chanting

sorry stock voltage is 1.5v .2v less than that ;) nice clocks anyways. :)

Here is some data on A64 RAM dividers w/ different CPU multiplier settings:

By Morkai of Muropaketti.com:
4x250Mhz 2900/2900MB/s
4.5x250Mhz 3280/3240
5x250Mhz 3645/3600
5.5x250Mhz 3566/3530
6x250Mhz 3891/3850
6.5x250Mhz 3600/3600
7x250Mhz 3880/3880
7.5x250Mhz 3620/3620
8x250Mhz 3860/3860
8.5x250Mhz 3635/3635
9x250Mhz 3860/3860
9.5x250Mhz 3685/3685
10x250Mhz 3880/3880
Interesting Sandra mem bench numbers I'd say.

As you know the RAM speed is divided from overall CPU MHz and not from FSB speed on A64 systems. So for example at 2500MHz with 10x multiplier the RAM speed is 2500/10=250MHz.
The thing here is that running w/ x.5 multiplier (9.5 for example) makes no sense at all. The RAM divider wont change when you adjust multiplier from 10x to 9.5x and so the performance will be the same if CPU speed remains the same. So 250x10=2500MHz (RAM at 2500/10 = 250MHz) is just as fast as 9.5x263=2500MHz (RAM at 2500/10 = 250MHz).
CPU-Z will report that that the RAM speed goes up (from 250 to 263) when you go from 10x250 to 9.5x263 but as you can see from the Sandra MEM scores the perfromance wont go up (9x250Mhz=3860/3860, 9.5x250Mhz=3685/3685, 10x250Mhz=3880/3880). Obviously the CPU-Z is not reporting the RAM speed properly when '1:1' mode is used w/ x.5 CPU multiplier.
So every highspeed RAM OC shot posted w/ x.5 CPU multiplier is false as the RAM is not running in true 1:1 mode w/ x.5 multiplier.

The 4x multiplier is yet another thing here too. If you check the numbers I quoted there it seems that CPU/5 is the lowest ram divider the A64 supports. So '381x4 1:1' does not mean that the RAM is running at DDR762. It seems that its actually running at 304MHz (1524MHz/5).

[A64'uSER]

Do any of you guys know how i can change my multiplier??

Get a program called Clock Gen (www.cpuid.com) and u change the multi in windows.

Interesting Macci,

Do you think it's the same thing on FX-51?

I now have the Corsair ER3500 they can do FSB 250-260 depending on the cas timings.
I run some SuperPi M32: 250 x 12.5 = 3125 the time was only a few sek better than 240 x 13 = 3120.
Timings was 2-6-2-2 :confused:

Recording to you, then 12 x 255 = 3060 is to slow, and 12 x 260 = 3120 must have slow timings. None of them is better than 13 x 240 cas 2-6-2-2. Right?
I might go 13 x 3120 cas 2-5-2-2 that will be the best...
Still waiting on my new Cascade, have made some change it will be a killer :D sub -120 C on load. The "old" one then going on the GPU. Have serius condensation problem on the ATI XT some of the small resistans almost korrode..

"9" greenie

This chip is about 10c warmer than my last one.. its a weird chip. The differece between load and idle-temp is ~1.5c :confused:
First i thought it was the sensor.. but when I gave it a try in my Vapo PE I saw the same.. the evaporator-temp idle is -17c and load -15c.


Look at the cpu-temp.. I almost feel sorry for my PE.
http://privat.bluezone.no/forman/images/superpi-33.GIF


Sometime in the near future i plan to 404mod my PE.. not sure it will work out tho.. the BD50F´s doesn´t like 404 very much.

[andyddr]

I know this is a bit off topic but anyone can with a K8NPRO (with F11 bios) tell me what you see under Cpu-Z`s `Mainboard` tab. Where it says `Bios version` do you see F7 or F11? Just not sure my system is `reading` my flashed bios (although in the boot screen it shows F11).

Sorry, a bit off topic.... :rolleyes:
As I recently got my 3000+ and AN50R, I think it is time for some overclocking of this CPU...
It is a CAAOC XPMW (don't remember the 4 digits before XPMW, but can tell you tomorrow)...

If I then try and OC, doesn't matter if it is 50Mhz or 200Mhz, SuperPi gives me an "NOT_EXACT_IN_ROUND" fail.. :confused:

I am currious to know what to do about it.....!


Ohh yeah, VERY usefull information you found the Macci..!

[andyddr]

Mmmm thought so. Something weird is going on here. Using version 1.21 it shows F7 as my bios. Possible that the second bios is taking over from the flashed original F11 one? Anyone else have this?

[andyddr]

Matshui this is your CPU or your mem failing. Try upping voltage on CPU first and see if it helps. If not it`s probably mem so up voltage there or raise timings to higher values.

[s e t h]

Matshui - andy's advice is good. it is unlikely that you caaoc xpmw is failing even with stock volts. the mushkin on the other hand could easily need more volts. sometimes it wont even do rated timings until vdimm is at 2.8volts

[Matshui]

I have tried upping voltage on CPU, so I will then try my memory...
Just didn't think about it coulb be them, as they are underclocket, but I have experienced many weird things with my new hardware, so why not..!

[andyddr]

Yeah these A64 motherboards are rather strange.
Are you dividing your memory at all? I`ve hear ppl with Mushkin`s like yours up voltage to 2.8 - 3.1v and all is fine. Seem to like voltage even at stock on these boards.

[Matshui]

Now I think, how can I be such an idiot not to have noticed my memory only got 2,6v....

Yeah, those Mushkin love voltage, even at stock as you say, atleast they did on my old nForce2 board, they did run much better when I gave them 2,9v instead of 2,8v, only running at 217, but they clocked as hell (my CPU couldn't follow...)!

But thanks for the help, I just tried giving them 2,9v, my comp turned off while updating BIOS... :eek:
But a click on the Clear CMOS button, and it did run again... :D

definitely your ram. Try up your voltage.

It was my memory voltage causing problems, now giving them 2,9v and currently at 223x10 3xLDT stock voltage....

I think we will see more to this CPU, when my watercooling arrives.. :D

EDIT: How much does memory timings do on the Shuttle board, I am thinking about running mine at cas2,5 insteed of cas2, or should I just lower my timings from 2-2-2-6 to 2-x-x-x...?

I've run my KHX3000 2X 256 (BH-5) @ 285 FSB 1:1 @ 3.6V so I know the sticks are capable of running high FSB's but I don't understand why my sticks won't run CAS 2 at all..

man thats wierd i can run 2 cas and im using some older rev el-3700 dimms? im even using the 512 sticks and they are double sided as well. i thought that the double sided memory was a no go in these systems? i gues its like everything else when ocing "its just luck of the draw" and "what works for one may not for the other"!! oh hey what is "safe" for my memory voltage and v-core ect on these systems? i run the an50r and just dont want to wind up with the paper weight!?!? can you guys tell me what is safe for these settings? also whats the LDT do? if i set it lower does it run faster or is it higher that i need to set it? sorry for the noob questions but in the case of this new 64 system im afraid that i am a nOOB :p:
