could one of these also be vdimm caps?
if they read same voltage on the + leg as the vdimm is..is it safe to solder the vio to one of them?

It beeps because your sticks aren't matched.... you need two identical sticks, 2x256, 2x512 or 2x1gQuote:

ohhhhk, well would you look at this. after posting i went back and tried diff settings changin one at a time.
what was my result? 250x10 on cpu, ram auto-2.3-3-3-10 2.6v. thats right, i watched how the errors were popping up and reduced the ram voltage to TWO POINT SIX. so i guess i'lll go ahead and prime this for a few hours to see for sure.
the sandra bandwith is up big time now from my bh-5 which was voltage and heat limited to damn near 7000.
incidentally i tried out some diff cpu voltages thinkin that maybe running 1:1 would stress this here winchester mem controller but actually im back at my 1.45(.55 in bios) x 5.0% setting. producing 1.504v in cpuz (which sometimes reads 1.52 for a sec then back to 1.504)
by my calculator 1.45 + 5%(0.0725) = 1.5225 go figure
hey, well after figuring out my memory timing issues, im faced with another problem. my x2 3800 is doing 250x10 @ 1.31v right now, ram 208 3-4-4-8 2.85v. BUT my pic is running 41.5 !! I know my WD 60GB doesn't like high fsb's and i think my last attemp to go higher go me to 256 fsb, then a crash. My temps right now are 52-53 load, 40-42 idle. I know i know , HS needs to come off. We'll see about that later. But how do i get my PCI bus down???
The pci bus is already locked. FSB doesnt exist with Athlon 64 its HTT.
The hard drive isnt the problem at high HTT.
@El Rolio, you could have gotten a DDR booster and keep your BH5. 250x10 would have been better on a tight 2-2-2-5 timings @ 3.4-3.6 vdimm. =)
What does this option do? I have noticed that I get E0 with my Mushkin Redlines(CH5 UTT) and E8 with my Corsair XLPT(tccd)

@Dr.Leary, what BIOS version r u using?
1.B Official mod by Sideeffect
http://www.swjka.com/k8nneo2bios//70251B.rar
Interesting I get E0 as well. Thought they were all E0 by default.
Well i have no idea what it does really. Heres some snipets from my forum about testing it.
Quotes are from Dave
"I discovered a very interesting thing with the "Bottom of 32 bit IO" . If you set it to "0f" or "1f" and run memtest86, it flies and is done extremely quickly. With the "e0" setting it takes around 15 minutes. Since 1f is 32 bits from 00 I just thought I'd try it"
"It asks for a hexidecimal number in the range from 00-FC. If 00-0F is equal to 1-16 (bits) then 1F=32 bits. I am just guessing here but found it interesting how fast memtest completed. Is it asking for entire mem range here?
One other interesting note: even if you change the "bottom of 32 bit IO" setting manually to another value, once you reboot it changes the value back to E0. Very cryptic."
I noticed a very odd thing reguarding my 6800GT and my Neo2 today. The higher i raise my AGP clock, the higher i can clock the core on my 6800. If i set 66mhz AGP, and press "detect optimal frequencies" on coolbits, i get 401mhz core. however, if i raise my AGP to 90mhz (yes my 6800 doesn't mind it :D) i get 434mhz core when i press "detect optimal frequencies". Anyone else get this? :confused:
Is the actual stable OC any higher tho?Quote:

yep In all the guides for overclocking 6800 GT they have put agp to 81 mhz. Really does help. I Have mine set at 81 mhz and found it to be the most stable setting too. Any higher was less stable.
They also say in the guides to use 1.8 vagp volts but i found 1.65 was more stable. Best way to test is to use Nforce 3 clockgen to change the agp bus speed and core center to change agp voltage and use ATITOOL to scan for artifact.
Yep ATITOOL works on nvidia cards too. :p:
hmm, im guna have to give that a try again.
I haven't tried running it at 81MHz again since I did the 1.4v BIOS mod.
yea. i own a ddr booster. since last year when i bought the ram itself. or january. anyways the point is everytime i tried to use it, whether on a rebuild or jsut a random weekend.... i ran into these problems.Quote:

2. the ddr booster messed up my cabling. im a neat cables freak meng... tho most recently i sleeved the booster to try and get it done but with the routing i was gonna try and use it still wouldnt work. i also have a mostream psu... that some THICK cables
3. cuz of #1's point , i would need a fan to cool it. when i was on air using a xp-90, i was unable to get enough coolin from that. then i was unable to fit any big fans in the space between xp-90 and ram. i dont own anything less than the 80mm fan at that point. and lastly, when i did get a smaller fan, it introduced way too much noise into the mix and quieting it down (barely possible) did nt actually help cooling the ram.
yea so i had to make that decisioj it was hard. i wanted to be using my bh-5 but alas, my mobo and silent cooling needs werent meant to be.
Hi:
Some time without see the thread and lots of new post!!
there are at this moment a BIOS who can do this:
183 divisor working with 2-2-2 timmings
More than 1.6v than my Winchi can do
I would be very happy with only this!!
Thnaks
Hi everyone.
So this is my first post in this forum.
And excuse me, I should begin with a question!
I have a nasty problem with this board:
I have the same CPU-Mobo that D3kMatrix has.
3200+ Venice and K8N Neo2 PL.
The problem is I can run the CPU @ 2630 stable.
I can also run it @ 2707 but prime says it's not stable.
I can't get it to run more than that.
Whats the problem? And of course my memories are always tested by MemTest. I know that there is no problem with my memories.
Just I can't get it to run at 2.8GHz. Why is that?
plz help me coz that's driving me mad!
Thx in advance.
Edit: After I set it @ 273*10 for example system won't POST.
I have set the HT @ 3 or 2.5 or so. Nothing changed. :(
i have D0..And if i change to anything else it will bring me back to the default.
BTW I forgot to say I have to increase the Vcore to 1.65-1.70 in order to get it working @ 2707. I don't like that.Which version of bios should I use? Currently 136Mod.
Thx
D3kMatrix, How did u set the voltages in the BIOS?
I mean I can't do something that I run CPU @ 1.520!
I set the VID on 1.5, CPU runs @ 1.4. I use the (By x%) function but still won't get the result I want.
Plz help me with that and then I ask a question about my A400TDH!
1.45v is the max you can select, then the % over that value. I run 1.45v with 3.3% added to give me 1.475v.
where memtest might indicate that you memory is ok, prime95 might fail. Prime is more sensitive to memory errors then memtest. If you can't get it stable at 2.7, then why are you going for 2.8??! :stick:Quote:

For the screen shot in my sig while running 2850MHz I had it set to 1.45 + 5%. Which makes it about 1.5v for me.Quote:

You sure ur chip is the same exact stepping as mine tho? If it really is u have the worst clocking APAW I've seen yet :P
What kind of cooling do u have? Temps?
If you need 1.7v to post at 2700, I say ur reaching the max of something.
