5:4 divider problem on IC7?

[helsyeah]

Hello all,

First post :D

Ive been lurking around this forum for a couple months now and it has been an incredible source of information. You guys are a truely massive collection of the most badass oc knowledge i have yet to come across in my forum wanderings...

Ok, now that i have yall buttered up, i have a question which the thread name is about. Ive read through Hipro5's various posts concerning how his adventure in breakin the fsb record. In one of his threads, he and others mention that they have a problem with the 5:4 divider and getting it to work beyond 280ish fsb. I just got a IC7-max3 and ran smack into this wall... So my question is, has anyone solved this issue yet? Ive searched around a bit, but i havnt found a solution mentioned yet... perhaps i missed it.

One side note, with the 5:4 divider i seem to have run across this same 280ish fsb wall on my IS7-G while my IS7-E has no such problem...

If anyone has some enlightenment to this issue i would appriciate it.

I don't know if Hipro ever got past it or not, as far as I know once you hit that wall, its not likely you will get any higher at 5:4. :( ... I wound up buying an Epox mobo to get past it. (My Ic7-g hit the wal at 275, my MAX3 hit it at 270) now I am at 288 :D

you have to disable the last 2 gat settings.

i don't think its a board issue, since i can do 5:4 at 323fsb on the ic7max3.

if anything i think it is ram related. canterwoods can be picky when it comes to memory modules.

if you have memory that can't do dividers properly, then it can very between different boards- even the same manufacters

It varries board to board from what I've read. I think its safe to say in general the 5:4 divider is worse then 1:1 and 3:2. Not preformance wise, but seems to allow for less of an overclock in my case. Example, I have some other memory which will do 226 1:1 but when I try that in 5:4 its a no go. I can't think of any other good examples atm, but I know theres been a couple other situations where its jerked me around.
