Best thing to do is disable the 216 233 and 250 dividers while you add the new text.Quote:

I had a feeling the new multi's were too good to be true :P
do raising the AGP voltage will help for ocing??
I don't believe this, 4, 8, 16M spi @250x10 1.4volt success but nothing can make my rig run @2600Mhz :(:(:(

The BIOS can't be corrupt cause it's hard flashed , guess you mean
CMOS-memory corrupsion .
3.5x / 4.5x removed .
And did as you suggested about the memory indexes .
Tidy'd up ,and higher dividers/mem index 216/233/250 taken out ,
as there is no use for them in this version .
Hi syar2003 The bios can be corrupt even though its hard flashed. I have done it myself. Some motherboards are more prone to it than others but it can happen on any board.Quote:

I really suggest you dont test it out unless you have a bios saviour.
thanks for the modded bios SE, i hope my vidcard would oc to the pre-1.9 frequencies with this bios.
keep up the great work. :D
I'ts a strange thing with videocards and the bios. Seems some overclock better post 1.9 mine included. Where as others overclock less or have freezing.
Even cards of the same design dont follow a pattern.
As for drivers well i've been trying many recently and my favourite nvidia drivers which really do deserve a mention are the Beta 81.84. Iq and performance are top notch.
As for some other things i have noticed to do with nvidia graphics drivers and the neo 2.
77.77 drivers at 80 mhz agp frequency 250 HTT x 4 HTT crashes games.
77.77 drivers at 66 mhz agp frequency 250 HTT x 4 HTT Game stable.
77.77 drivers at 80 mhz agp frequency 250 HTT x 3 HTT Game stable.
81.84 drivers at 80 mhz agp frequency 250 HTT x 4 HTT Game stable.
Thats at my maximum overclocks for the card which is also different in each driver version but with the 81.84 im at my max and no freezing crashes.
Why run at 80 mhz agp? Well its worth about 150 points in 3dMark2005. It also is faster for real world games as well like FEAR, Doom3 etc.
Hey! I changed my bios from 1.36 Mod to 1.B SE!
That's great for OCing! I can now get my computer stable @ 2650 also.
I'm looking for at least 2700 stable.
can someone answer my question from the last page?
Rasising the agp vcore does sometimes help ocing, but depends on your mobo.Quote:

Just try it for yourself, even the bios version may change the result.
Doesnt help the chipset at all. Helps the graphics card though. I have mine set to 1.65. Is the most stable for me.
btw the BIOS 1B modded tccd version can't work with multi x9??? :confused: :confused: :confused:
stable here with 258x10 but can't load windows with 287x9 :slapass: :slapass: that's only 3mhz difference!
OK! Checked my vdimm, 2.83. In light of some of the previous post's should I turn it back? I sure don't want to cause a problem for my TCCD ram.
TY :D
Creeper
Bios 1B Ballistic Version works perfectly with Multi 9x @ 288 HTT for me...
Its possible that your board just can't handle the higher HTT.Quote:

What kind of bios is this 1.c one?!?!?!
I get get my system stable at 2700 now.
But I have to test it with super pi or prime.

hey guys, im thinkin AGAIN of tryin out a new bios (i keep loving the punishment) but mostly im running HIGH HTT now so i just want to know what some of these safe secondary ram settings should be, like the preamble or async latenncy or whatev. i need to open up my a64 tweaker to check em out, any ideas? also.... i need a screenshot 3rd party program to take some SS etc
el rolio a good High HTT bios is the ballistix bios. Unless you have TCCD :p:
If the Max Async is any looser than 8ns it doesnt make it clock higher it actualy makes it less stable. Read Preamble also best settings seem to be between 5.0 ns and 6.5 ns.
Napoleonic the Multiplier compatibility is more to do with the chipset you have and or the cpu. Some boards and cpus will work better in different multipliers. Its just one of those things.
Also you cant forget that 258 x 10 is not the same as 287 x 9 even though the cpu mhz speed is the same you are putting a lot more stress on the memory controller. the more stress the memory controller has the less cpu clocks you will get.
Mehran The 1.C is basicaly the same as 1.B only change is fixing the nvidia lan rom boot error message.
hey thanks, any of the other a64 tweaker settings important to look at? my async and preamble is both at the "good" settings.Quote:

lemme kno homie, thanks for hte tips so far
Read to write queue bybass of 16x and bypass max of 7x is faster in benchmarks and also seems more stable.
Idle cycle limit of 64clks increases stability with no loss of performance.
Dqs skew mode of slower takes the strain off the memory controller slightly and allows a few more mhz. Benchmarks very very slightly slower.
The timings i set in my ballistix bios
- Max Async = 8
- Read Write Queue bypass = 16
- Bypass max = 7
- Idle Cycle limit = 64
- DQS Skew Mode = slower
MSI defaults
- Max Async = 7
- Read Write Queue bypass = 8
- Bypass max = 4
- Idle Cycle limit = 16
- DQS Skew Mode = off
So i relaxed 3 timings and tightened up 2 timings. Result = ballistix bios faster than MSI bios at the same speed but also more stable.
:rolleyes: :nono: I wouldn't complaint if it didn't work in the OLDER BIOS......(1.3-1.5 including the modded versions)Quote:

This doesnt make them worse though they are just different. I got a similar overclock just a different way. The extra features make it worth it for me. If you prefered the performance in 1.3-1.5 then use that bios.
