Anyone knows what could be my OC problem? :S
I can run 2400MHZ @ 1.425V , 2500MHZ @ 1.5V.
Im trying to ruch 2600 but looks like it needs more than 1.55V
Is this safe? My temps @ 2600Mhz is 31idle and 43 load.
My Cpu is very vcore-thirsty :S Why?
Which revisiom is better for oc E-4 or E-6??
thx for help
from my exp. id have to say E6 for sure.
Agreed :fact: :)Quote:

Can someone with a X2 4800+ Toledo please post a screenshot of their overclock? My stepbrother has a 4800+ Toledo cooled by a Zalman 9500 heatsink paired with an ABIT KN8-SLi mobo and I want to have an idea on how far I can push it for him. Overclocking on his system is soooo much complicated than it is on my current system lol. Maybe it's because ABIT's bios is much different from DFI's bios.
This is my MAX OC with 1.4 Vcore @ air but NOT stable until now..:mad:
Its time to make some Vcore & Vmem Mod on motherboard.:D

Hi!!
please see here my results and tweaks!!!:fact:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=87394
New rig currently dual priming at 260x10, 1.472v, -15C. Taking this nice and slowly, keeping vcore trimmed; on stock HSF, it needed 1.508v for 250x10. G.Skill HZ is holding up nicely at 3-4-4-8 / 260MHz / 1T / 2.6v.
No cold bug so far, it's a toasty little chip so I may avoid it. I am very happy, thought I'd mention it. :D
I have the same stepping. See progress in post #1515. Have you got yours running? Did you get it from Overclock?Quote:

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to see what everyone thought about the steppings on this chip I just bought? It's an X2 4200+.
LDBHE 0550SPBW:D
How well of an overclocker do you all think it will be?
You think I can get 3Ghz ou of it on phase?
yeh i reckon so. Just a guess mind you, but i think LDBHE's are quite good normally.
Hey Peepz... Can some of you post the steppings of your X2 4400 and your OC results.. Planning on buying one but have no idea what stepping to buy.. of course i want a good oc'er. :p:
can you get an x2 4000? I believe it goes X2 3800, X2 4200. No 2ghz with 1mb cache, sadly.

thats a huge amount of vcore.. especially for a dual core... but hey if you think the cooling @ 16* is safe.. good results
Thank you :)
1.81V only gave me the required stability to pass over 3.2GHz but the improvement within the interval of let say 1.70-1.80V was very poor...

Here's what I've been able to get from it:
I've been able to reach 2.3GHz by changing only the FSB to 209. (209*11)
I've been able to reach 2.4GHz by rising the Vcore to 1.325 (stock is 1.300), with the FSB at 218. (218*11)
I've been able to reach 2.5GHz with Vcore at 1.375 and FSB at 227. (227*11)
I've been able to reach 2.6GHz with a Vcore of 1.475 and FSB of 236. (236*11)
And I'm presently testing 2.7GHz with 1.525 for the Vcore & 246 FSB. (246*11) But I'm experiency some stability issue.
Please note that I'm using the stock cooling. At 2.7GHz, maximum CPU usage, the temperature does not go higher than 43 celcius degrees (fan at full speed). In all cases, I left the LDT multiplier to 5x.
You can also take a look at Knob's overclocking here -> http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y27...i/ff687ec0.jpg , I'm trying to equal it.

i notice that at this vcore max i can get stable is
244*11 = 2684
254*10.5=2667
270*10=2700 this is the 1 i use
305*9= 2745
max stable around the vcore you mention(1.4625 bios setting) for me is :
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...9CineBench.jpg
i can bench at this level but temp is too high for my liking to use 24/7
so if u board dont mind above 300 fsb and since u got good ram u should try X9 with a divider on ur ram.

you definetly need to drop the ldt multi to 3x. You want to keep the ldt at 1800-2000 at the most.Quote:

Yesterday late I tried 10*270 with LDT multiplier at 3 and a Vcore of 1.55 and I got instability after 5 minutes using Prime95. I'll try a couple other setting I have in mind.
Has for the guy who's using 10*270, try priming your system, SuperPI is nothing compare to Prime95, I can boot windows and pass SuperPI with 1.45 but Battlefield 2 will crash instantly.
Anyways, see you guys in a couple of hours!
it is stable at evrerything i post superpi32 cuz its the image i had from an OC validation post i can prim for ever at that speed iam telling you its stable it is my 24/7 config ill post a night long prim95 just for youQuote:

I tried 11*246, LDT multi 4 with Vcore at 1.55, it didn't worked.
Tried 10*270, LDT 3 with Vcore 1.55, didn't worked. It seems that every settings I'm using to get to 2.7GHz, 1.55 Vcore is the most stable I can get, if I try more voltage, the temperature of the CPU is rising super fast. @ Vcore 1.55 temps is 50 celcius max. @ Vcore 1.57, temps are going higher than 60 celcius, Max temp of an 4400+ is 65 celcius, so I won't try higher voltage until I switch my cooling. I use the stock cooling presently.
I also tried 11*246, Vcore 1.525, LDT x5 with LDT voltage 1.3, did'nt worked, 11*246, vcore 1.525, LDT x4 LDT volatage 1.3, didn't worked.
I'm sure I can reach 2.7 stable, in one of the config I've just mentioned (don't remember which one), the priming test failed after 22 minutes. That's a great news, since all the older settings where giving me a fail test in less than one minute.
@ mario bros Thanks for the info m8

So last night, someone argued that I should use my Ballistix Z503 and I agreed. Swapped it in, loaded optimised defaults, rebooted, changed HTT to 250 and drive strength to 3, left everything else auto, rebooted to memtest. It passed; the Z503 came up 3-3-3-8 at DDR500 @ 2.61v. Booted Windows, ran dual SP2004 for an hour til I got bored. The weird thing is the vcore - how about 1.328v (stock is 1.35v)? Is this true love between mem controller and RAM or wot? I'm really shocked at the difference.
The other weirdness is that the system "felt" smoother. I don't know how to quantify it; it just felt "nice" instead of "alright". Maybe this is simply a sweet spot for the combination but it was surprising how different it felt. It's got something to do with stuff working in harmony or something.
Does anyone know why my multiplier is showing up as 9.5 instead of 10 with an X2 3800+ E6?
No idea but looking at your sig and seeing that loathsome name ecs may have something to do with it :stick:Quote:

If I were you, the first thing I'd do is to use a divider and see how far your cpu goes when the memory is out of the picture, then use memtest86+ to see how far you can push your memory without errors. When you've done that, you can combine the two and find the max clock.
ok, thanks
Hey guys, these newer X2's are as good as the opti's.
ADA4400DAA6CD
CCBWE 0546SPAW
I haven't seen anyone on this forum with this stepping but it is a stonking clocker.
2500mhz stock volts (1.31v).
It did 4.5hours prime before failing at 1.32v 2600mhz. (I couldn't find 1.33 or 1.34v so I've gone and set 1.36v and am priming right now (9hours so far stable).
So essentially it is doing 2600mhz on virtually stock volts (1.30-1.35v).
I'll keep you updated as I'm in testing at the moment. Please ignore my sig, that X2 went back because it didn't work at stock with 2GB RAM. My current specs are as follows:
X2 4400+ 110W model @ 2.6ghz 10x260
2GB 2x1024MB OCZ PC4000EB @ 260 3-3-2-5 1T 2.68v

Hi guys
I'm looking for a replacement for my 3000+ venice, and have decide to go for a x2 3800+. But what will give the best overclocking result? An E4 or E6? And what is the difference between the BV and the CD stepping??
I think that whilst the E4's clock well, there have been some reported problems with E4's and gaming. E6's are unaffected which is why I'd go E6.Quote:

"Custom watercooled, dual prime temp = ~39C."
Are you sure your Watercooling is well installed ?
I'm on the stock cooling and my temps with two prime session are exactly the same 40-41 celcius.... Of course my fan is noisy and at full speed, but usualy water cooling is giving better temps. Also, you're only @ 1.36 Vocre, I got these temps with 1.475 Vcore. This is also at 2.6GHz, but 11*236. I have also the same board than you.
Yeah. Installed fine - gives me the same temps on all cpu's I've had. I have my graphics card in the loop also. I think that perhaps my dual rad system isn't as effiecient as running 1 rad either. Might remove the second rad this summer and see how that goes. It's either that or my MCW6002 block is just plain crap.Quote:

Perhaps because of the dual rad + dual heatercore, flow is significant reduced (Aquaextreme 50Z pump) or it could be the fact that the system still has lots of bubbles in it causing poor effieciency. This summer I'll be getting an Apogee block and then removing a Rad and I will see how it goes.
I'll try the E6 then ;) ThxQuote:

I've been running dual Prime95s for 2 hours now and Tcpu is at 55C and Tmb is at 33C. All the while I've been listening to mp3s using Winamp, checking mail with Thunderbird, and browsing with 10 IE windows (just for funsies) open. All my apps feel like they are running just as smoothly as they would without the priming going on.
Sadly I was in such a rush to get the system together that I forgot to record the stepping codes so I won't be able to help with that info. But maybe you guys could tell me what others are getting out of their 4800+ chips? Should I be able to get by with a lower Vcore? I tried everything from stock up to 1.40V so I know in my case it's not going to work, but it'd be nice to know if I got a "bad" chip or not.
Hey, if you all have any tips, pass 'em on, I'm willing to take any suggestion that won't cost me even more money. :) Thanks for reading.

Does 2.8ghz at 1.32V but needs a lot of more volts to get 2.9Ghz stable.
With 1.475V, one of the cores would crash prime after about 4 hours while the other core goes on. Testing at 1.504V now.
Perhaps I should reinstall XP, after using it for 8 months with no changes.

Hi to all.
This is my first post here, but been reading for some time. My name is Rui and i am from Portugal.
I am posting here in absolute desperation. :(
First, let me post the facts.
I have a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum with the 1.C3 Sideeffect bios and an AMD Athlon X2 3800+ CPU (10x200=2000), with stock cooling. According to CPU-Z, the CPU is a Toledo Core, not the Manchester core, so I am assuming that it has 512KB cache disabled in each core.
My PSU is an Enermax EG365P-VE with the following specs: Max continuous output 350W, 32A on the +3.3V line, 32A on the +5V line and 26A on the +12V line.
I also have a NVIDIA Geforce 6800GT, 2GB of RAM (1 dimm Kingston 1GB and 1 dimm Corsair 1 GB, on dimm slot’s 1 and 2), both dimm’s are at 3-3-3 timings, and always running at speeds at or below specs (200Mhz).
I also have 2 hard drives on each the IDE channels, and a DVD-RW +/- on the second IDE channel.
I am trying to overclock the CPU, and first, to discover the max FSB (HTT), I choose the ram divider of 166 Mhz, then choose the HT multiplier of 3, then choose the CPU multiplier of 7.
The max FSB I got stable (passing Prime95) was 235Mhz.
This was a big disappointment to me, because I read all over the net people getting bus speeds of +250.
Also, when sticking with that 235 Mhz FSB, and then upping the CPU Multiplier, o only got to 8X multiplier (this gives 1880Mhz). Because if I choose 9X multiplier (2115), the system cannot pass Prime95. All this with the core voltage of +1.5, by choosing the CPU VID of 1.55 and then +8,3%.
(Speaking of core voltage, shouldn’t I get a much higher core voltage, since 1,55+8,3 % should give me 1,67, but in CPU-Z I can only see values of 1,55, more or less. It seems that the setting CPU VID isn’t doing anything, the only thing that changes the core voltage are the % increments that one can choose.)
BUT if I low the FSB to 220, and then choose the CPU multiplier of 10X (2200), the system is stable and passes Prime95 test.
So it seems that my CPU can do at least 2200, but not 2115, when the FSB is at 235. But on the other hand, if I only choose FSB 235 and CPU speed is low, the system is stable. Remember that the HT multiplier is at 3X, so I am no where near the HT limit of 1000Mhz.
If i leave the CPU multiplier at 10X, and start increasing FSB, i can only go to 225, with a stable system, but i have to choose a VID of 1,55 and a 8,3% increase. The core voltage is resported by CPU-Z to be around 1,57, more or less. The temps at full load go up to 58º celsius.
Amazing isn’t it?
Can it be that I got extremely unlucky and have both a motherboard and cpu that are overclocking unfriendly, or is something wrong with my system?
All opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Could be power supply as that 365W PSU won't be friendly on a dual core which you are trying to overclock, especially with a 6800GT which is a power demanding card.
You do not need worry about the HTT frequency of 1000, so long as you are above something like 700mhz as it makes very little difference.
It might be the memory controller on the CPU holding you back, especially given the weird results you have been getting. Have you set the AGP/PCI lock in BIOS also, by setting the AGP/PCI frequency to 34?
Hey guy good news and bad news.
I got a new 4400+ X2 CCBWE 0604VPMW. Major problem is the thing is rock solid stable at even stock voltages 1.335 volts at 11 * 250. 2750mhz but it won't let me go to 251. It freezes at windows load in screen. Is this the cold bug problem everyone is talking about I didn't have this problem with my last 4400+. I know this chip has way more overclocking potential though I just need to get the FSB past 250. My last chip was stable to 315 with the settings I have now.
I already have weakest drive and data strengths.
I tried all the voltages up to 1.75 to see it it makes a difference nope.
I run dual prime95 for stability testing I run for 8 hours.
Suggestions?
PS my last chip was a CCBWE 0527RPMW. It was a bad overclocker only getting 2850 mhx stable at full load at -15 core temp. I have a custom phase change SS unit. Really powerfull. It is in jewlers shop getting pin put back on :(.
Thank you for your post.Quote:

I have the AGP speed at about 33, because i thought that the 34 for the AGP/PCI lock was only for the first bios of this motherboard. But i will try that when at home.
On the other hand, it's strange that the system can't stand Prime95 when CPU is about 2115 (235*9), but can do it at about 2200 (220*10). Like you said, something is holding it back.
I read at Anandtech that almost all X2 3800+ where of the Manchester core. But since AMD had some Toledo core's that had bad caches, they disabled half the cahce and sold them as X2 3800+ CPU's. Mine, like i said, is a Toledo core.
Could it be that these X2 3800+ toledo core's are low quality CPU's that couldn't pass tests for being sold as X2 4200+? That would explain the very low overclocking capacities.
I forgot to mention on my first post that if i don't choose sucha a high voltage (+1,5) when overclocking, i can't even boot to windows.
Again, all opinions will be greatly apreciated.
Argh, got CCBWE istead of LDBHE :(
Dual prime at 2500mhz 1,4V atm..
got a very nice looking LDBHE 0601 UPMW

Just running it at stock to check everythings working nicely. Currently loading at 27c with dual sp2004, on my WC. All in all, looks good.
Tell us how that 0601 clocks. I'm seriously considering getting an LDBHE 3800+ x2 so i can run on my phase...
Me too. The E6 I have is ok up to that coldbug moment but... maybe if we leave it another month, 2006 batches will be a certainty?Quote:

Anyway hopefully it'll be good...looks nice on paper, and has VERY nice tcase stats.
Should have waited till their stock of both ran out and got a X1900XT from them. :p: Could have run on a PCI card until then :DQuote:

And the only PCI card i'v got has trouble running above 640x480...it's suitable for blind flashing, but that's about it.
Besides, i just want to get a card for my computer, and overclock this cpu.
Just resived my x2 3800+, and it's a LDBHE 0601 UPMW, so I'm hopeing that it likes cold.
I'm dual priming at 2700 @ 1,3 V rigth now. Haven't test it higher yet :) Looks like those 0601 UPMW are some wild chips :slobber:
SWEET
i can't wait to get mine going now. What's your batch number?
lol, go don :cheer:
I cant believe you killed THREE videocards in the past few months though ;)
not 3...only one was killed, other two died of unknown natural causes. Anyway that is OT ;)
Not sure what a batch number is, but expect it to be this: 169975AA60792
Okay, I have been testing my CPU for a couple og hours, and it seems to be cind of strange to handle. At 2700 MHz @ 1,3 v, core 0 fails, but core 1 just keeps rolling along. When a then go up to 1,4 v core 0 still fails at 2700 MHz. But If I proced to 1,45 v both cores fails :confused:
I'll be testing some more next week...
to hot?
What cooling are you under? Not that vapochill i presume?
