Please try to help me out, AMD UNSTABLE

[Volcom]

Hey, ok I have a 1700Xp which was always @ at 2.3g stable on my previous ASUS A7N8X; now that I have purchase an Abit NF7-S Rev.2 I am having more then just trouble it might be the heat I suppose it is, any way what happens is that during the day I cant get this stable at 215X9.5 which is around 2g this is set up at V-core 1.625V, Chip at 1.7V, ram at 2.7, I know its not the ram bs when I set it up at 215X7 it’s prime stable for hours. The funny part is that it only runs 215X9.5 during night time’s and its prime stable lol, the temps during the day are around CPU 35-36C in Hardware-DOCTOR and system around 17-19C, during night time the different’s are CPU 32-33C and system 16-17C so I don’t know it’s not that big difference.

I would have to recommend that first you clear the cmos, set everything up at factory specs, and flash the bios to the latest revision. I've heard several others talking about the factory bios being off on the temp readings, which could be fooling you into thinking that your temps are better than they really are.
Second, maximize the airflow within the case. Even though your cpu temps might be decent, if the mosfets, Nb, capacitors, etc... are over heating then that could be your culprit.
Third, remove and reapply the northbridge heatsink. Factory application is most of the time sloppy and not making very good contact. Plus the factory tends to over apply the thermal interface compound. If possible, changeout the fan and sink for a better one (like a older socket 370 or such hsf). :cool:

Also, on some boards, some of the multis are bad. My board does 230 x 9.5 2-2-2, yet won't do even 225 x 9 at any timings. Go figure.

AND, even though the BIOS 10 usually allows high FSB with 10 and 10.5 multi, on my board it won't even do 220 x 10. So basically you have to experiment and see what works on your particular board.
