it appears that the reason for my instability is because this motherboard causes hard drive corruption.
edit: at stock speed, the lock works just fine.

I must have gotten 300% lucky since the three 8KDA3+/J boards I've used have given me ZERO problems. :shrug:
After reading through 12 pages of people bitching(even though this was supposed to be a thread about the BIOS)... I keep asking myself if I'm actually using the same board as 80% of the posters in this thread. :lol:
I don't have any problems either. :comp10:
ya guys must not be trying to push that board enough.. heh. Jeff.. i thougth you killed a CPU on the J board?
I love this board, but its completley ruined windows installs on two different hard drives, one SATA, and one PATA.
Jeff, what BIOS are you using, and what program can I flash to them with?
Nope... the OCZ DDR Booster fried the Vddr regulator. It was strange because Vmod wise I could get to 3.5v without any problem but with the OCZ thing the regulator sizzled at 3.2v. :shrug:Quote:

Right now you're right btw... I'm not really pushing because I'm just on water... 2.63GHz isn't bad though. ;)
@boshi... how are you overclocking? Are you using ClockGen? If so, what are you booting into windows at? If you boot at 200MHz then the lock supposedly doesn't work. :shrug:
I've run 285x10 1:1 24/7 on one of these boards without any incidents.
Hi guys, I am new here in this forum, but I was reading this thread for a long time. My problem is this:
I did get the KDA3J mobo on friday, but that son of a :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: doesn´t want to go more than default freq aka 2GHz only thing I was able to do is to get FSB250x8 but nothing more even with 1.65VCore set in BIOS. I wasn´t looking for the real VCore behaviour (so I will do it today after reinstalling WinXP pro), but what really looked strange was (set in BIOS 1.65V chipset) 1.61!! real for chipset??? What the f***??? Maybe I have one of those "good undervolting BIOS" (which I´ll change today), but I really don´t know why the hell I cannot overclock even about 50Mhz. The system was running at 2300MHz 1.65V BIOS set, Doom3 stable for 1,5 hour but Prime went down.
Maybe its power supply, that god damn Fortron has really weak 12V rail, just 16A which is a crap for nForce based mobos.
yeah I'm booting at 201, and using clockgen.Quote:

I had a 3200 nc running 255htt with a 300w forton psu, so that probably isn't the problem.Quote:

Have all of you guys with voltage problems tried using the modded bios?
Nah, don't think so either.Quote:

I'm running 260HTT primestable at my 3200NC with a Antec 300W.
anyone else get pagefault in nonpaged area error?
I havn't are you running 2x512 and which slot's?
My first board both the 2nd and 3rd slots were the ones to use.. With the newer board it seems that only the 2nd slot wants to run high... Well only in memtest86.. I can get 170-172 FSB x 8 but it wont boot into windows.. Only 160 is stable in windows..
Also the highest stable HTT is 305 just like my old board..
yes man i got this error
page fault in non paged area
this was caused by my memory.... i think but check this out :

PS: i cant set the mutli lower or higher without freezes in clockgen but i could it before and couldnt? i changed very often bios versions could this be the problem that i ve to use a "newer" bios to use mutli change in clockgen ( especially lower than 8x )
ppl i need help in this:
i have 2x512 mushkin level2 BH5 and i had them on my nf2 board @ 250fsb 1:1 prime stable @ 3.3v vdimm.
now i modded the epox to have the same voltage in vdimm. it reads 3.35v actually on the health monitor. i dont know why, but i cant get past 230fsb 1:1... in fact, this 230 arent even stable! tried everything i can think of.
so, can anyone tell what can be causing this? its single channel and a64, it should give a good result
cheers and thanks in advance
superman: Is a C0-stepped CPU? If it is, that's the problem.
errrr yup, mine is a c0! are you certain that this is the problem? if i get a CG chip, can i use the memory at higher htt 1:1 and cmd 1T?
Certain is a strong word dude :)
But if I put it like this; I've both owned a 3200 C0 and a CG. My C0 was primestable at like 225x10 max at air, and my CG is primestable @ the speeds in sign.
I didn't try 256 Mb mems on the C0 though, but I've heard a lot of people having problems clocking the C0 with 2x512 Mb mems.
i guess ill try a cg cpu on my rig to prove that theory....
btw is there anyone with the same problem?
Maybe you could borrow a CG from someone to try it out.
Actually, I think the real deal here is that the CG:s memcontroller likes doublesided mems better than the C0 does. If I'm wrong here, please go ahead and tell me.
However, if that's the case, that would affect the HTT, assuming you're trying to run 1:1.
Also, the C0:s are 1T by default, which, again, could cause problems with doublesided mems.
Hope this helps.
about the 1T command, i dont think thats the problem, because numerous people have BH5 doublesided mems on 1T command.
but i have to agree with you when u say the c0 mem controller is n0t a great fan of doublesided memory... i have a spare bh6 kit of 2x256, maybe ill try them later here.
I think you should.Quote:

I've had 2x512 of corsiar 3200 BH-5 run fine at 240FSB lowest timing on my C0 3400+ in this epox board.
I can also get 2x512 of OZC 3700EB to run 245+ with the same CPU no prob.
This is on an early 3400+ as well.
I also had the same OCZ ram run 2x512MB at 225FSB on the Chaintech 150 board as well.. I couldnt try higher cause for some reason i couldnt change the Mult with clockgen using the OCZ ram like i could using the BH-5 ram.
So i dont know if the CPU is your prob or just the DIMM slots your trying or what.. Best i could say is test it all out with one stick at a time in each DIMM slot with memtest86. That way you can see if one stick is holding ya back or the dimm slot or what not.
i dont think its from the sticks because i had them run dual channel 250 1:1 2-2-2-11 no nforce2 boards no problem.... also, the 3400+ c0 is different from a miserable c0 3000+... i guess the problem is in the cpu or in the slots im using... im using slots 1 and 3... when i tried slots 2 and 3, didnt boot... tried only slot 3, same result as slot 1 and 3 together!
