Ok. I been having som problems with my 6800le freezing up in BF2 on me and I read on page 84-85 in this thread that it might help. I tried upping the the vagp to 1,8 and the agpbus to 81 Mhz and it helpt :banana: :banana: :banana:Quote:

Well i just flashed to the 1B2 modded , and running at 2.6ghz 11*237*4x with 200 divider.
No big issues found . But the missing pci addon boot seems the same for me.
Don't know about other addin cards though .
Gonna try 2.7ghz with 246*11 with 200 divider now and run a OCCT test.

As long as your card isnt getting to hot you can disable Nvidia Throttling which is probably whats causing your screen freezes.
Download a program called RivaTunar from HERE Go to Power User then into Nvidia \ Overclocking go to a option called EnablePerfLevelForcing and set to 1. Then save it and i think you need to restart. This should stop throttling.
Yes disabling sideband might help but its not worth it because the performance loss is to great. Also i would turn vagp voltage back to 1.5 and bus speed back to 66 for now. disable Fast writes though as that doesnt effect performance and does help.
If its only battlefront 2 causing problems you might want to try a different set of drivers also.
I´m already using Rivatuner and I have already forced performance 3D. So it is not throttling. The card is well watercoold so it´s not a heatproblem.Quote:

Havnt checked this new bios out yet. Ill have a look in the code but i doupt ill make a mod bios of this version dont really want to make mod bios's of betas but ill keep up with the betas so im ready to release the official mod when it comes out.
can someone who uses a SATA or IDE PCI card please test with these new bios's to see if it does the same thing to you as to me.
the system basically wont go past the post screens unless you have the power unplugged from the drives hooked to that particule PCI card.
i would like to MANUALLY set the device in the bios but frankly ive never had to do that so i dont know what memory address to set it to.
i also dont like the fact that you have to reset the cmos when overclocking fails,, i really really cant stand that lol.
Why are you using a pci ide or sata card with a motherboard that has 4 sata ports and 2 ide ports anyway.
Using a SATA card is just pointless because you get limited to the 133 mb pci bus anyway. Even if your overclocking and cant use 2 of the SATA ports that still leaves 2 open plus 2 on 1 ide slot and 2 dvd drives on the other.
Am i missing something here ? You have more than 6 drives?
syar2003 how far can u go with your xblk ram as im thinking about gitting some so i can hit 300*10. as all the utt bh5 ive gotten so far was crap..ch5 is good but one of my redline has intermittent probs funny thing is with that stick i get the long beeps.i had the ram sitting on my desk for bout a month, when i got my x2 i just poped it in and it post then after a day i get the beeps already knowing the warr shot cause off removing the heatspreader i put them over the stove and then in the freezer just bored on vacation. :) after bout 4 hours i put it in and it post and it only does it when its cold any iwas looking to get some of this

let me know if goin to wasting time and money
I have the old kit (PDC1G3200+XBLK) PC3200 XBLK 1GB kit of two 512MB modules .
Had them stable at 2.5-4-4-9 1T on 270 (DDR540) . 2.7ghz 1:1 with 10*270 .
Don't remember the voltage I used - but I think it was over 3.1v provided
by the ocz booster and a 80mm fan blowing at them .
So I can't complain
as long as Patriot themselves say :
PC3200 (400MHz) 2-2-2-5-1T 2.6-2.7v
PC3500 (436MHz) 2-3-3-6-1T 2.6-2.7v
PC3700 (466MHz) 2-3-3-6-1T 2.7-2.8v
PC4000 (500MHz) 2.5-3-3-7-1T 2.75-2.85v
PC4200 (533MHz) 3-4-4-8-1T 2.85-2.95v
So they ran the advertised max speed of 533 + a little bit more , and with cas 2.5 .
So I would think the PC4800's youre looking at should perform DDR600 for sure .
Its strange though that those PDC1G4800 xblk is not listed under patriot web site products .
Msimax haven't u ever herd of the crop tool? :P
btw is thread subscription broken or something? I haven't been getting any emails for this thread...
Yes msimax if you limit your pictures to 800 pixels width they will fit nicely in this forum and not piss everyone off. There you have a picture that is like 400 pixels wide with 800 pixels of white background ...
sorry

You should also remember that whilst the memory and mobo might by able to handle 300mhz, the CPU may not because of the mem controller. For instance, my memory does 278mhz @ 2.5-3-3-7 fine, but at 279mhz it is not even stable at 2.5-4-4-8 when in dual channel, so that is most likely to be the mem controller causing the bottleneck.
This is emphasised by the fact that i can run one stick of memory at 300mhz @ 2.5-4-4-8 without problems, and run my cpu with much less voltage in single channel mode, showing that the mem controller is not good at handling dual channel with high mem speeds in most cases.
thats a good point to remind people of CD i think many people forget that dual channel mode just kills a cpu with a flakey mem controlller like 90% of all A64's out there. wish like hell they would fix it and fix it forever.
Sideeffect i do believe i solved the PCI IDE card no boot issue.
I simply turned on RAID on SATA 3 and added my Raptor to a Single Drive Stripe. (basically this is not a raid stripe. it just adds the Stripe blocking and it MAY MAY cause the drive to run in burst mode all the time but i cant confirm that last part.)
anyways once i did that i am now able to boot up to the Windows CD which i was never able to do before.. and i have formatted a partition and it rebooted and is now loading windows fine.
so it looks likewith 1.9 and up if you have a PCI IDE controller card or SATA card you MUST enable raid in the NVRAID options.
i cant confirm if you MUST have a drive on it or not but keep that in mind.
Im reloadeding rightnow with APIC ON so ill let you know how my performance is ina little while
Thats good news Lestat. Now if you can just get the graphics card performing well with the 1.A bios then you can relax :p:
I have another thing to add to the memory controller discussion. It also depends on your cpu overclock a lot of the time. If your pushing the cpu to its mhz limits then you often wont be able to push it to its memory controller limits as well. You often have to choose between one or the other or look for a balance in between.
MSI MAX that is the EXACT same thing that happened to me with my Mushkin Redline.
it worked for a while then it started Beeping at me after i powered OFF. i pulled the sticks out then switched to my OCZ PC4800. then i decided to try the redline one more time. it worked for a short time then all hell broke loose and both sticks are just toast.
i sent them back to the guy i got them from and he can run just fine on an Ultra-D at 260mhz 3.6v 1.5-2-2-0 so....
bad sticks ?? Maybe...UTT BH5 + NEO2 = CRAP maybe...
but frankly if yur gunna run UTT ram i think you need to get a different mobo...

GOOD NEWS!!
After installing my video drivers and such all my IRQ's are nice and spread out!!!!!!!! yesssssssssss lol
so... ive solved all my issues so far but i need to test performance.
the video card is clear up on IRQ 15 i think which is a little higher than i like for the video card. from testing i did ages ago performance increases when the device is on a lower IRQ but ill test and let you know.
8600 on 3dmark 03 ? you gotta be f|_|cking kidding me
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
LOL
Did you remember to plug the graphics card in ? :D
Also dont worry about the IRQ mines on 16 doesnt matter. Try the rivatuner throttling thing next.
Cold boot problem agian. I've tried alot of bios version 1.A, 1.A0mod, R1, R2, TCCD edition ect. but didn't solved it :confused:
With Multiplier 10, I set over 260HTT in bios -> cold boot
With Multiplier 11, I set over 250HTT -> cold boot
Now I have to interested 1.36b modded 1T bios not new bios version
My system:
MSI Neo2
Sandy 3500+ 512KB L2 rev.E4 (could stabled at 3G on watercooling)
Gskill TCCD 2x256 PC4400 LE (could stabled at 320Mhz 1:1 on DFI SLI-DR)
AIW X800SE mod XT
CoolerMaster RP 450W
Can anyone help me?
Personally, I think Neo2 don't like Sandy 3500+ 512KB L2 rev. E4 :slapass:
Same here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

I have more news which you may have already known about.
ok first i switched to the TCCD version bios. not sure which revision so if you have a revision 2 maybe i'll look at it.
The GPU Throttling is a DIRECT RESULT of the GPU core clock. i run my 6800 ultra at 450/1100 and it runs fine. But with the 1.A i cant even riva tuner wont stop the mobo from throttling the GPU.
So, i dropped the core down to 430 and mem RAISED to 1200 so now im at 430/1200 and she is running smooth. 440 throttles. so....
BUT
i have lost performance. technically 450/1100 vs 430/1200 is probably gunna yield you the same or roughly the same scores. but im running slightly less. I think last time i tested with this card 430/1200 didnt give me as good of scores as 450/1100 but since i cant run 450 im screwed.
What Video and mobo drivers are you using ? id like to load them up and see how my scores fair with yours. but also dont forget your running at 3ghz im not.
2nd-
I can NOT get stable above 2550 no matter what i do.... the minute the desktop loads, BAM the system just reboots. even using core center and rasing the vcore to 2.7v it still dies past 2550
i used to run be able to run 2.7 @ 1.65v it was 100% stable but i used to be able to run it now i cant even get past 2.55 @ 1.65v
something is really whacky here...
I had read that the 1.9 and higher had usb 2.0 disabled. If this is true, has it been enabled in rev1 and rev2?
Lestat which pci ide cards do you have? I have 2 of the sil680 raid cards and haven't had a problem yet. Are yours raid cards or just ide adapter cards?
Do you get the same problem if running mem on a low divider, or are you running all this at 1:1 ratio? Also, try the rev2 of 1.A mod bios, since the TCCD has a couple of extra tweaks which might be affecting stability...see if you get the same issues when OCing.Quote:
