Can anyone tell me why my system won't post if i set DRAM Drive Strength lower than level 3?
Level 4 and 3 are ok but level 1 and 2 result in a no post. :confused:

This is with 1 x 512 Mb OCZ EL plat rev2.

I think level 1 is essential for running DDR600. :(

Thats strange, cuz i can only use level 1 and 2 with T1
A guess is that CO use 3-4 and CG use 1-2

spaceman, while Tref and tighter settings on DFI board are nice for sandra bandwidth, some won't be 100% stable - I'm surprised you can run 2x 512MB with Trc at 7 let alone the other tighter settings

try this use 2x 512MB BH-5 ram and leave all auto settings but Trc = 7 and Trfc = 12 and see how far you can oc ram so that SuperPi 16M and 32M are passable

Trc and especially Trfc make little difference in performance. Dropping Trc from 7 to 12, Trfc from 14 to 15 give me extra of 2-3MHz stable memory overclock while keeping all other essential timings at very tight settings.

Typical I'd run Super Pi 8M to see if it's any faster, otherwise I'd give them a break.

From what i notice TREF makes the biggest difference of them all.
You can tweak everything except timings in a64 tweaker and nothing much happends

Don't think i have to change chipset voltage since the board is Prime stable at 420HTT with just 1.6V or whatever default is.

Do you need to raise chipset voltage in order to get DDR600?

I always run it at 1.8 volt.
The few times i been running it at 1.6 i have had problems.
But im not 100% sure, i had it running at 1.8 since a month ago or so.

My chipset is always at v1.8 as well. I don't see any reason to lower it or raise it at all. I runs pretty cool even at v1.8. I really want to figure out how I can get higher bandwidth with a higher CPU clock. I have yet to find the right combo settings to make this work out right. I really need someone that has the DFI nF3, 3200+ C0, and a 1GB set of OCZ Plat Rev 2. So I have someone else to compare direct results with. If anyone knows anyone please refer them to here so I can get some help.
10-20-2004, 08:58 PM
spaceman

ugp, you oughta try 1.6 to the chipset. I think too much hinders your OC stability. Maybe the processor doesn't like it? I used to run mine @ 1.8 too, thinking more is better, but I don't think that's true here. I think that also applies to the AGP voltage, no diff in performance, so I just leave it @ 1.5. :) I kinda wonder if it affects the vid cards OCability tho. Might be a case of finding the best middle ground.

10-21-2004, 03:07 AM

For my rig I only lose 2-3MHz between 512 and 1GB. The highest stable speed of my pair of Kingston Hynix running together is 262MHz vs 265MHz when single (both 2.5-3-3 1T). Since my 3200+ CH max out at around 2.6 - 2.65GHz at 1.78V, they make a perfect match + happy system.

If I were to get faster memory it'd need to do at least 290MHz 2.5-3-3 1T(290x9=2610) otherwise it'd pointless. I've tried a pair of Corsair TWINX XL and while these crazy TCCD can do 300MHz 2.5-3-3 1T, it's single only good for benchmarkings. For 2 sticks the highest I tested was probably less than 290MHz (not very sure on this because not enough time to test). I didn't want to gamble and returned it to my friend. I did compare the difference and it's less than 1 sec in SuperPi. Plus that I didn't want the hassle of selling my pair of good Kingston Hynix so I keep it for now.

When using one stick you want to use DIMM 1.

Alright man I will give it a try. What exactly does that chipset do though?

well, since this is only a benching rig, I don't worry about how much ram it has.

The system that I use for gaming has my X800 Pro and a 3500+ in it. It is much more tolerant of the Ram, But won't overclock well..

But, I have found some Bugs still in the Bios that may cause trouble. On Mine, anytime I use ram made with winbond chips, if I change the FSB in Bios, It enables the Raid Controller and I have to do a reset to clear this. My Hynix based Ram does not do this though..

Well guys.. I finally get my board and it might be DOA. The only thing that happens when I try to boot is that I get the red "led1" to light up. No second led near the vdimms.

I tried clearing the bios (remove battry, change pins, etc.) and nothing different happened. I did verify my Fortron 530W in another system and it works fine.

Any suggestions ? Thanks all (I am disapointed.. been waiting 4 weeks to get this rig going and so begins the endless troubleshooting... )

Doh, sorry bout that, you're right. We figured that one out awhile back, and I haven't needed to look at it much. I knew it wanted to be enabled. ;) @ugp, it looks like smart guardian mixes up the sensors like SANDRA does. The highest temp is most likely your CPU temp.

is the vga/dvi cable screwed in tight and is the card snug in agp slot and is the molex in tight?
10-23-2004, 06:07 AM

Yes I believe that they are.

No luck so far...

Should I try to force the card around in the slot to see if it will give... how far should I go. The fan on the video card works by the way, I thought this might be usefull information.

I tried reseating the card 3-4 times, pushing it in... pushing it up higher and screwing it in. I also tried to plug the molex in deeper and tighter, and with an adapter as well and different feeds of the psu.

I am trying to keep my sanity. What is needed so that stuborn AGP slots come to life, if this is the case? Is it gently putting the card in over and over? Moving it around while it is in there or being a bit more forcefull when the card it in.

Thanks

no, best not to force it. maybe its your vga cable? or maybe something in the POST cycle before agp, like memory?

http://mitglied.lycos.de/siedl/9x270..._3_7_28530.jpg

Wow. We have almost exact same components and at the same speed.

That's 270X9 but 5,2,2,2 with BH5. Why do i get so sucky sandrascores with BH5 on this board? 270 gives about 4200/4200 at 5,2,2,2.

So would raising the AGP Voltage help get rid of my memory errors at higher clocks?

its worth a shot.
i was benching today at 270x9 and max i got in 2k1 was 23756. i cant even get that stable with 1.78v :(
any hints for me? also i think i should get some TCCD so i can run tighter timings on dividers

The Link doesnt run.

Yes i have a x800vivo@xtpe 520/560 ...

With a NC i need 2550-2600MHz for that achievement ...
In Sandra i have 4150MB/s!

you will get good unbuffered scores with 2-2-2

well guys i got good news and bad news.. the good news the DTR3400 still ives!! the bad news i think the DFI is the looser here? no mater what i do i cant get any post codes nothing even with the cpu out the memory out the video card out i get no beeps nothing its dead :(

oh well ill have my fx-53 here real soon i think i may just sell the DTR3400 back to ted and move on. has there been any release info on DFI's 939 version of this mb?? otherwise i may wind up holding on to this 754 platform til i can find a good mb for the fx chip. anyways im out of the game for now. back to my trusty ole intel for the time being...

peace perc,

nice score and nice BH-5 :D

Not stable though. Passes 20 #5 memtest for the memory, but far from Prime stable. This cpu must be the worst CH in the history, only 2.3 stable on air and 1.7 volts.

Do you think this is stable enough for 24/7 settings...?... ;).. ;)

peace perc,

Bummer about the mobo, but at least the "magic" chip's still kickin'. :) If tedinde doesn't want it back, let me know. ;) :D

Here is some screens with CBI

I am going to try to get 2.4GHz today some how.

EDIT: I seriously give up. I will stay where I am because nothing else works! It really makes me mad though.

Without letting you sound stupid or something.
Have you connected the little 12 volt thing near cpu ?

cbi reports current temps of your cpu @ 255C lol

as for me new highs all around :D

26,762 - http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8204747

I think it's the 18th fastest 9800Pro R350 on the ORB ?

ugp, if I were you, I'd pull the HSF and reseat it, a few times if necessary. Something's not right, and that seems most likely. I know we take it for granted we know how to do that right, but I've had bad contact before when I was sure it was right. ;) @eva2000, nice! :up:

well you're using 1x 256MB with what timings on DFI ? can you show your a64tweaker settings ? mines 2x 256MB so need looser timings at 2-2-2-6-8-12-2-2-1-2

also since memory bandwidth plays a part newcastle bandwidth is higher than clawhammer cpus clock for clock

3400+ newcastle memtest reports 1427MB/s at 200mhz 2-2-2-6
3700+ clawhammer memtest reports 1326MB/s at 200mhz 2-2-2-6

What is the actually HTT Record on this mobo ?

mine is 441 :D :

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/overcrash86/...0Gb/FSB441.JPG

over 2500Mhz the CPU was unstable then that the max her :

2527Mhz HTT 421

i will recive my 3400+ in one week then i'll test with 6X and more 420 of HTT to go over 2600Mhz :D

no vmod just 2 FAN 80x80 on the chip stock cooling and 1.6v ,with more vchip that less better :D

BIOS MODED 10/15 moded 4v but my motherboard wasn't vmoded

A quick A64 noob question: I was wondering how to isolate the ram for testing with the A64? I just tried 4*275 1:1 and it memtested for quite a few hours, however when I carefully checked the bandwidth I realized that the test was moot since the bandwidth was abysmal.

thanks for your help!

same with my board, with a modded zalman on the chipset, maxes out at 335 and windows at 325. my vdd is 1.7 maybe 1.6 is better?

ugp wanna take off the IHS? you and me can both do it at the same time, maybe it will help

yes ,the chip is too hot with more voltage, with 1.7v i go only at 436, at 1.8v 432 and 1.9v 421 :D
reduce the voltage to 1.6v to go up over 430Mhz ;)
