+ 270 MHz on Asus K8V Dlx

[alz85]

http://users.pandora.be/alz/270.jpg

and still going further, HT set @ 600 MHz, vlink @ 2.6v (hope that isn't dangerous ?)

I heard many people get troubles at anything over 260 on VIA, and I'm still going further and further.

What's the highest FSB reached on a VIA ? ^^

:slobber:

ehm, everything still going fine, but reached about the point I'm getting a bit anxious.

I hope I'm not killing anything.

[NoStra]

Can you run that with higher multies? What timings do you run and how high can you run 3dmark?
A screenie only doesn't say anything...

[Kunaak]

the thing for me isn't getting high FSB's.
I've done 277 cas 2-2-2-5 with my K8V...
the thing is, getting it to do anything past 260.
while I can get nice high screen shots, I can't do anything other then that, no super pi, no sisoftsandra bandwidth, no 3dmark...
can't do anything past 260 :(

Can u run benches on that fsbspeed ?

[alz85]

on 275 MHz with 600 MHz HT I can run superpi, not tried running 3D Mark yet.

Next week, when my exams are finished, I'll do some further testing, I realy don't have the time now.

[DuraN]

Well one 3dmark run will take about 5 mins, and you only need one run to find out if it will bench at that fsb speed.

[alz85]

my noname 300W owns :rolleyes: +12v drops to 10.5v when stressed.

After my exams I have time to do some vmods, and installing my watercooling.

Don't mind the score, winxp is already f*cked up and ram running @ 220 MHz 2-3-3-5.

nice tring tho

1) I'm running 600 MHz HT, you 400 MHz, dropping from 800 to 600 lifted me up 35 MHz, dropping from 600 to 400 would probably give some extra too (not as much as 35 off course)

2) running 3d benches on this speed doens't tell anything about how good the overclock is, it tells how capable the graphics card is of doing high AGP speeds.

3)for those who want to see a 3d bench RIGHT NOW: In this system is only a Quadro 2 MXR (spent all my money on this setup).
Haven't tried higher yet: http://users.pandora.be/alz/3d.jpg

Tomorow I can bench with a Ti4600.

[alz85]

damn u guys, I was planning do to some good studying this evening, and I end up testing my system not learning at all :p

http://users.pandora.be/alz/pi275.JPG

lowered HT to 400 MHz, still going up.

[alz85]

time to shut down pc now and start studying.

Jason:

I find no humor in your belittling his initial achievements, it makes you look like a jerk.

His reasons for using a lower multi indeed may be influenced by his cooling and/or his desire to see how high his particular combination will scale on the FSB.

As illustrated after your remarks here he did provide a SuperPi run...but he's also stated he's a student which means his time is limited, or should be if he's tending to his school work.

What you are capable of is not necessarily what others are capable of, especially considering the $ that you throw at hardware to achieve your weekly results. We all can't do that, not even me.

I find it highly insulting to say" sorry, guess your 270 isn't as good as you thought". If you don't have anything positive to offer our newer members..a little encouragement of their successes...DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

I don't feel you'd appreciate macci or OPP or JC or myself or others pissing on you in one of your many weekly achievement threads, would you??

I believe these guys deserve the respect and encouragement of their peers as much as you would like to recieve by your fanboys every week.

Think before you speak, your sarcasm is losing the respect daily of myself and many of your peers a Xtreme.

you know ... posts like this got you in trouble before .. I hope learned from those mistakes and treat newer members better.

Nice results alz85, thats some very nice clocks on a via board..


my noname 300W owns +12v drops to 10.5v when stressed.

Thats pretty bad... im supprised its not causing you major problems.. Is that a MM5 (or similar) windows 12v reading or from a multimeter.. you may find that your sensors are out. If you havent allready try and verify with a multimeter.

What sort of superPI do you get on an NF3 board at a similar speed.. is the via still faster clock for clock? (or will memory speed make this comparison pointless?)

Good luck with the exams and be carefull not to kill anything.

Welcome to XS.

[alz85]

ty for all the positive replies.

the reason I can't run higher multipliers is that the board is still unmodded and I'm using stock cooling.

Watercooling is certainly going to be installed, and I even have a DI container laying around here.

And my BH-5 ram doesn't go very high at 2.8v

I'll measure the +12v with a multimeter tomorow, MBM5 even shows a lower +12v :/

And Asus probe says only 1.66v vcore, while I have selected 1.75 in bios, bios says 1.73v (which should I believe) ?

Couldn't resist taking it a bit higher, still not at maximum:
http://users.pandora.be/alz/282pi.jpg

*edit* SiSoft shows 1.71v for cpu and 10.28v idle for +12v :s

[Holst]

Maybee soembody else can advise on the Vcore question... id be tempted to measure on the board to find out for sure.

282 is propperly impressive stuff.. you should have a real monster on your hands once you have some better CPU cooling.

How much does pushing the Vlink voltage help things?

[alz85]

vlink is only adjustable from 2.5 to 2.6, it DID help, but I forgot how much.

[alz85]

ran superpi 1M @ 287 MHz succesfully, but bluescreened when saving.

I think the PSU is holding me back, SiSoft reports +12v below 10v when stressed, and the monitoring should be good, it reports 11.8v at stock speed and evenly goes down when overclocking.

[NoStra]

I think it is the ASUS sensor. MBM shows me 11.45V on idle...doesn't matter what OC I have, or run stock...it will always show 11.45V. But if I look in the bios, it will show nicely 12.05V.
If you really run on 10V, then your system has to be instable as hell!
So have a look in the bios and check there your 12V. I think it will be better...or I hope :)

Dam bro easy there no need for that.


BTW alz85 Thats not a bad acheivment at all.

[some_young_guy]

Are you using your Quadro2 MXR to run at that high fsb on the K8V? I guess Nvidia cards really don't care about the high frequencies at all.

[alz85]

in BIOS, it's 10.5v, but that only with 220 FSB.
I boot up at 220 MHz, and then adjust with ClockGen.

And to be an nVidia card, this Quadro isn't anything special, already giving up at 92 MHz for 3D.

I hope to go higher with the Ti4600.

Nice OC, get a supply, you already know that's what's holding you back. Cant wait till you wring your setup out!!!

I've got a AMD64 finally coming!!! I ordered the shuttle NF3 board.

Good luck!!! :toast:

[alz85]

multimeter says the same as sisoft :(

[alz85]

ehm, I'm having something weird here, as vdimm voltage I have 2.8v selected, when measuring it with my multimeter on the motherboard, it tell me it's 2.97v, can that be correct ?

[Mickey Padge]

See if you can pick up a fortron 530W . They are cheap enough , but perform great :)

It overvolts, especially if you have performance set to "turbo"

[Holst]

:O

I VERY supprised your able to clock that high...

Get yourself a Fortron 530.. wouldt supprise me if your clocks went even higher.. that little PSU is gona burn out... and it might hurt something when it does..

Im not trying to scare ya... but you NEED a new PSU.

[alz85]

Yeah, the psu is allready starting to make weird noises :eek:

Too bad I can't find a Fortron anywhere near here.

[Soulburner]

Yeah if that thing blows.....goodbye A64...

[Mickey Padge]

Have you dropped them an E-Mail to see if they have a local reseller ?

Yes, an r300 could not pull such high agp frequencies, I doubt a GF FX could either, but I know the GF4 Ti cards will do it.

[tritium]

Very nice FSB(HT) overclock.:toast:

I cant beleive you got that far with your 12v rail being so low.

[Piotke]

I have exactly the same setup as alz has. Got it from the same shop and every thing. I can boot/run superpi on 240 fsb, 10*200, memory on 240 Mhz and 2.5-3-3-6. A stick of BH5 thas is.

Now I took a stick of Corsair pc4400. boots also at 240 fsb but can't go higher. Lowering multi also doesn't help.

CPu: Vcore 1.75
DDR: Vddr: 2.8
Vlink: 2.6

I lowered HT to 600, even 400 or 200, still the same problem. What am I missing.

[Cranox]

Maybe ure videocard is holding u back
