Can you do 10x300MHz and use a memory divider?
No. I thought a higher HTT would be harder on the controller. Though, I did use 12x250 with the 183 divider just to rule out the RAM.
I'll try 10x300 with the 150 divider and see what I get.
If anybody else has any other tips, lets hear it... :banana:
Bump up your chipset voltage. :D
Already have it @ 1.8v. ;)
Got a suicide screeny :woot:

EDIT: SuperPI locked as soon as I tried it. At least I'm going in the right direction.
Thanks conrad. :toast:
Just .04MHz to go and it's official. :lol:
Just tried 1.7v and the system froze up again trying to run SuperPI.
EDIT: Tried 1.72v and get BSOD right away again. It seems to reach a point where higher vcore is futile.
Yes, sir. Our chips are twins separated at birth. :p:Quote:

The thermal compound was smooshed and spread evenly throughout the core, thus verifying that contact between the heatsink and core was good. So if you had any reservations as far as purchasing an XP-90C is concerned, I'd just go ahead and buy one. I'm guessing Thermalright made modifications to the tension clips on the copper version, or the Newark just has an added 1mm or 2mm to its overall height. I'm guessing it's the former.
seems like your voltage threshold is a bit higher than mine, i'm assuming because of water's ability to remove more heat ;)Quote:

also, since your cpu is so similar to mine (all three of ours actually), i'll probably know whether or not i get a cold bug from your testing. hopefully that single phase unit you've got won't get the temp below the core's limit :D
Congratulations xenolith! :toast: Yea, that is really suicide snapshot! :clap: By the way I found one mistake. Your processor is based on E5 revision not E3. try the latest build of CBId!
the revision is blank now :(
(though i'm liking that PR number :D)
Thanks VVJ. Now if i can only get it to at least do PI. ;)
I'm going to change out the screws, springs, and temp probe with more "sensitive" ones than those that came with the water block later tonight when I get home. I can't help but think the block isn't fully seated right, possibly causing a hot spot. And then again, I might just be paranoid. :para:
I'll try upping the agp voltage too, thanks conrad.

The bug has been fixed! :) And the next version will be uploaded this evening at 17:00 GMT. The bug occurred while developing network features in CBId. Now you can get a snapshot of the current state of the AMD processor of the remote host in the network. Helpful for hackers, administrators and especially for overclockers :D
xenolith Thanks for using CBId! Your result is really amazing! Could you give me permission to add the that screenshot to my extreme screenshot collection at the website?
Sure. I'd be honored. :toast:Quote:

Thanks, guys! The newest CBId build 0525 is already available! :) http://cbid.amdclub.ru/files/cbid75b.zip

:thumbsup: :toast:
thanks for the quick fix VVJ :)
ozzi, remember at one point you had problems with the dividers on your DFI. You didn't elaborate. Did the problems you had involve the 166:200(5/6) divider? And did the problems you had go away with the 5/4 bios?
At any HTT at all, I get BSOD and endless errors in memtest #5 using the 166 divider. I tested this with the 4/15 bios and I get the same thing.
Also, 300x10 is the only way i can get Windows to boot (albeit unstable) with the 5/4 bios. With 4/15, all the multi's worked.
Me thinks the bios still needs work.
nah, it's a ram/board issue that happened with my clawhammer too. i actually haven't given it much testing with the new bios.
basically what happens is that my HTT limit on the board is the same speed as however fast my ram can go with the timings i'm using when i have both sticks in.
for some examples:
at 2.5-2-2-10, i can get to around 245mhz 1:1, but when i drop to 5:6, i can still only get to 245mhz, but with the ram being ~200mhz, depending on the cpu multiplier. same thing for other dividers :(
however, if i take out one stick, i can easily do 300mhz with ram dividers :confused:
basically, i just don't worry about it anymore, as i have a 12x multi to work with, so i never need ram dividers anymore :toast:
That's the spirit ozzi, we gotta work with what we have...
I wanted to go with 290x10 as my final o/c, but it looks like the 166 divider isn't going to let me. And as time passes the bios updates are probably going to become fewer and fewer.
Second choice was 325x9, but OCCT fails, so it looks like it's going to be 242x12 since it's the only one so far that's passing OCCT and prime. :woot:
it's good enough, though talking about this, i wanna test that out again.
also, i'm having more and more trouble getting my ram to run at 200mhz, to the point where i'm leaving my rig at 220x11, 1.275v and 2.5-2-2-10 timings. i think my ballistix might be dying on me, not liking 2-2-2 :(
That sucks. Is it under warranty? :(
DFI received my board today. With any luck, I'll have the new motherboard early next week. Can't wait to see what this 3700+ can do. ;)
yah me too dam pay pal is saying that it wont be able to clear my money until june the $#Kin 9th, man that makes me sick, by the time i get this cpu there will be a nf5 mobo out :) and all this stuff i just ordered will be outdated :(
Don't worry Phil, you'll still have a kick-azz setup. The wait will be worth it... :toast:
Sorry for crapping this thread, but I just had to share the warm, fuzzy feeling that I have. :D
