No more using affinity to fix the stuttering problems I was having in gaming. :D
<p>
These are the problems I posted about twice and people replied with the stupid "turn your fast writes off" and such. I think the so called "experts" need to get a clue about some stuff before they post the obvious.
I sent my OCZ Gold back to shop after I lost a fight with it ;) Now, I want to replace it with OCZ Plat. rev. 2. Is it a good choice for this mobo? In what configuration (clock/timings) do you have it 24/7?
ok...I tested the Kingmax 512ram Pc3200 in OC steps..Seems they work at 225mhz (1:1) without errors.At 240mhz i have plenty errors in test 5 (memtest 1.60+).At 235 less .At 230mhz same..I ended up that 225mhz make a good ride..Is not bad for a value ram to do this.The ram have no heat spreaders.I should after some hours of gaming if they get hot..I should buy Kingmax DDR500 Hardcore..They are 84$ with my country taxes and all :banana::banana::banana::banana:s..I think is more cheaper than any other manufacture in this moment imo..They are bang for the buck..I saw a review and they got max 245mhz 1:1 with hardcore memory version..
dude. i tried that. i have and still love my ocz gold bh5's. tried to pop plati rev 2's in and well.... itt aint that big of a difference. especially since i cant run higher voltage than 2.6 into the platis or they get too hot. yes, hot, hotter than the max speed i took the bh-5's up to with max board volts of 2.85 (that speed being around 215)Quote:

Also on an old Epox 8rda+. Maybe just bad luck, don't know. I have to decide on these because I buy them through the company I work and cannot change sticks so easly like a private person.
I buy memory here: Alternate
Any tip what elese cen be good? (this 189€ is quite a lot and I think I wouldn't buy anything more expensive)
ouch...you guys payed alot for OCZ Gold and you get only 215...i get with my kingmax 512mb Pc3200 that are more cheaper at 225 mhz (without any error in memtest)..Goldmemory didn't tried..
Are you having a dig at people here ? Because noone here claimed to be an expert. Were all just NEO2 users. Noone here gets paid by MSI staff to help you out.Quote:

Well anyway stop acting like the world owes you a answer.
I was frustrated because I do consider you guys more experts than the average joe. I didn't mean to come off that way. I was happy and should have just thanked everybody for their help. I apologize for the statement. Thank you for putting me in my place Side Effect. Much appreciated. :toast: :toast: :toast:
aiit boys, got my optie, so gonan try some new bioses out this evening, gonan grab SE's newest one. also, i gotta go abck and get the refresher for how to do the flash properly with this new cpu gettin put in. the whole cmos jumper pull, unpluggedness job
ok update on what occurred last night. so installed proc. restarted... checked settings in 1.8mod3 bios, set it back to near stock... mem still on div. quick like super pi run. then grabbed the 1.c std and tccd bioses from SE's site. decided to install the std of course cuz i will do the tccd one when i know that i like the extra settings thru tweaker.. but thats later on.
restart turn off, unplug cycle power etc. go back on, to bios... checked out hte settings.... i much appreciate hte organisation of this bios SE, nicely done in cell section but more importanlty, disabling all the useless crap from the other sections (liek sata 1/2 etc) that all of us enthusiasts always end up having to reset after a cmos clearing.
ok now into dram config... i see auto for a few settings, figure i can leave em so its like 2.5-a-a-10. yea bad mistake, cuz system wount post. had to unplug, clear cmos again... and then go in a set ma settings... i though auto was more passive... anyway.
tried 250x10 then 260x10 then 270x10. decided to do a few tests at 270x10. gosh this optie is hot. during that time, eatin dinner etc, i realise its REAL hot. then i see one of hte m1a's isnt spinning on the rad. so i look at all my wiring, curse a bit at hte fan controller, swap out fan wires, putt in a resistor. nothing workin. then i remember these panaflos have plug connects on BOTH ends of the fan wire. so i go around back, and use a pliers thru the grill to plug the fan wire back in (even tho i zip tied it speicifically when i built the sys).
anyhoo, tis all good. few more tests, up to 290x10. decided to burn in there cuz i know it needs the heat and the speed to eventually let the as5 cure and bring down the temps with these opterowns. but so far im liking the bios.. nothing to really compare to but this is the first time i could go past 1.8 bios reliably (since im upgrading from ma 2.7 winnie)
How is your OCZ Plat. Rev 2 working with optie, better than Winnie? ;) Just write some numbers, we all like numbers, don't we? :D (here was a baaaad mistake ;))Quote:

OR
Geil Ultra-x PC3200 2x512 (new BH-5) + OCZ Booster?
The price of both kits is the same. Maybe OCZ Gold VX + booster (but here price is ~25€ higher)
I would be curious to see that as well :)
btw, anyone tried G.Skill Extreme 2x1GB ?

I think I am probably going to go with it.

Hi
Can it be that you forum doesnt work anymore sideeffect?
It does not show any topics ;(
Got a question... does this board not like 24->20 pin power adapters?
My comp hangs after a while, at random, when OCing. It's perfectly stable at stock, but once I get even the slightest bit out of stock, it will randomly hang. Sometimes I can be stable for hours, once I was going on for a whole weekend only to hang sometime on Sunday. :(
Also, I found this on the front page:
TIP: if you experience problems with Antec Neopower and Truepower PSUs and also with PowerStream PSUs, try Bios 1.37 and turn the PSU off after you shut down, seems to help as well
I use a 480w Neopower, but my problem isn't exactly what using the search function turns up. My computer (usually) boots up fine, sometimes it won't and I just try a couple times and it does.
I have 6 drives and a 6800OC, but I think an Antec 480w Neopower should be able to handle that. Also, I'm using a modded 1.C bios. I might try using 1.37 if I'm out of other ideas.
I removed the side panel of my case (for heat) and it seems to be a little bit more stable, but I did this yesterday and haven't had much actual evidence of this.
Neopowers sure are warm and after I hang, sometimes I'll put my hand to the CPU HSF. Occasionally, it's really hot. :(
Thanks in advance!
follow flick sugestion, and let's know the result. I had updated before doing any test. so far so good.

other random question: when i get FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4, what does that usually indicate?
There is no Auto setting for AGP frequency. So its 66 default in all newer bios files I think. The locks Should stay in place though if you raise it. Im pretty sure they do. Nforce 3 clockgen shows PCI bus at 33.34 for me with my AGP frequency at 80mhz.
thanks for the reply SE. i may move over to the tccd version of the 1.c soon... after my burn it gets done
The prime error = prime stability test already has all the correct results that the cpu should produce. When you run prime you calculate all these computations and then they are compared to the correct results. If the results you get are different from the listed results then the cpu/system is unstable and so you get the error.
I have no problems whatsoever with the 20=>24 pin converter, and I use the OCZ Powerstream 520 PSU :)Quote:

One question:
Is there any BIOS where Timings are not changed (especially Write-to-Read Delay) with dividers like 150 or 166?
Thanks =)
