A follow-up to my usb bsod at shutdown/reboot - I think it was caused by a USB camera that I connect through a powered USB hub. I have no idea how a usb device that appears to be functioning properly could possibly cause a BSOD, but the problems disappeared after I unplugged the usb camera.
Strangely, this never happened before I upgraded from a 3700 to an x2 4400. That was the only change I made, swapping out the cpu, installing the 2 AMD cpu drivers, and the MS dual core hotfix.
Has anyone else noticed vcore swing upwards on load with this board?
In BIOS I have it set to 1.275 x 5%, which gets me 1.36 there (as well as with Speedfan and Everest) but when I run sp2004 or anything cpu intensive vcore creeps up to 1.4v :confused: Temps are 30ish idle, around 50 on load.
I only ask because I'm 24h dual sp2004 stable at current settings but can't seem to get stable higher, and I'm wondering if the voltage from the board or PSU is too flaky for the cpu...
Thanks in advance for any help! :)
well i run @ 1.45x10% and it only shows as 1.55-1.57 in cpuz
hey whats up sideeffect i see u still doing excellent work for the board
Yeah, I don't really get the math on how vcore is computed. Does it stay around 1.55-1.57 at idle and load?Quote:

Hey guys..
Can anyone tell me which bios for this board is the best when overclocking an X2 3800+ Manchester? I have tried 1.C official and 1.C Final Beta with very bad results.. Only 2.15GHz overclock no matter what voltage! When using 1.D2 I was able to get 2.4GHz with standard voltage - Hurray! But im not satisfied, as it takes 1.47v just to get 2.5GHz stable. I think thats quite a big increase from 1.35-1.47v just to get 100MHz more!
So which bios will help me get more MHz or doesn's it have anything to do with the bios at all!?
1.8 and 1.C3 beta get max FSB. As for CPU clock vs. Voltage every bios will get exactly the same (assuming you're not FSB limited)... i'd just put it down to a lemon of a CPU in that case.
and about 0.1v per 100mhz sounds about right... lots of Athlon64s scale poorly with voltage.
And don't worry too much about vCore fluctuations, my CPUs barely clock any better (10-15mhz tops) in my Ultra-D then my Neo2, and my Ultra-D is VERY good (does not fluctuate at all, period.)
it absolutely amazes me that afterall these years and 172 pages this thread still sees action! This was the ONLY board to have for several months...
Yeah, I like the board, and after all it seems im not the only one :D I still think its the best s939 AGP board! :rolleyes:Quote:

When I'm using SATA 3/4 in the boot path selection in the bios, under the hard drive list, it shows the stripe AND the two drives seperately. If I use SATA 1/2, I only see the stripe, and during install, I get all the way to where it's going to load windows for the first time, and it just reboots after showing the XP screen for a few seconds. I've tried the bios that came with the board, 1.C, and currently 1.Dmod.
I've been thinking about getting a PCI SATA-II RAID controller, but I'm afraid that the PCI bus will be a big bottleneck. Am I wrong in thinking that? I was thinking about either a Promise card, or a HighPoint RocketRAID.
Last night I just forgot about the RAID for now, and installed Vista RC1 on one of the drives (back on SATA 3/4) and had no problems. I couldn't beleive that Vista found ALL the drivers (except my X800SE). Impressive.
had the same problem with 2x250GB HDD's in RAID so replaced them with 2x40GB HDD's and had no problems :shrug:Quote:

Hrm... might have to try that... Thanks.
Is it impossible at all to run 3 memory sticks at the same time on this board?
According to the manual (page 2-8) you should not run three modules "or it may cause some failure"...whatever that means. Never tried it.
guys idk a lot about all of this. but my computer works fine when it is booted. memory ocz bh-5 running at 250mhz @3.6v memory, v core at 1.47v . timings on memory at 3-3-3-8 . the computer works fine when it is running and plays games, completely stable. then i turn it off for the night. go to turn it on the next day it won't send a signal to the monitor, nothing happens. hard drive light comes on, cd drives spool, just like normal boot, i can even hear the hard drives spool. but nothing happens on the screen
later that day after leaving it off, i can decide to turn it on later and it will boot fine and go into windows like nothing happend
I get the same monitor problem, Ive tried everything i could think of, nothing helped. Im using X800pro, tried many drivers, also tried many chipset drivers, ive just grown to live with it ( i never turn my comp off for more than a cleaning)..lol i just unplug th monitor till it searches for signal, then plug it in hot...Samsung 173V monitor....id also like a resolve.:D
Mine does the same thing , once im up in the 270-280 htt range if i power off then i need to clear cmos and resest every thing . It is a pin if some one find a fix plz post it
Hey guys... I have somewhat of a problem. I can't seem to break this 237MHz barrier on my Motherboard. No matter what I do I can't up it any. I've cranked down the CPU clock, HT is set to 3x, and I've even tried to use a divider on my ram to keep them from getting in the way of pushing up my FSB. I think my problem lies in the fact that these motherboards dont allow you to up the chipset voltage, but hey, I'm just a n00b so what do I know? I thought if I could ONLY increase the CPU Multi higher then x12 then I could possibly get a better overclock. But, it would seem that my CPU is locked at x11 or less. :( So am I screwed or what? Temps are super cool, idle is 29c and underload I've never seen it higher then 35c after about 7 hours of Prime95. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated. Hey, look on the bright side... check out that 1M Super PI time. Not too shabby for only a 400Mhz overclock on the CPU. :) I was browsing some other threads and noticed that some of the other San Diego's were getting around 28 seconds.
/cheers
your CPU may be maxed out- have u declocked your cpu multipler and up the FSB ?Quote:

I'm pretty sure it's not the CPU. Like I said I underclocked my cpu, mem, and HT to 2x and cranked up the FSB. Computer wont even boot until the FSB is brought down to 237, it posts between 237 and 260 but if the FSB is more then 250 it corrupts my windows install. Brand new motherboard, CPU and Memory btw.Quote:

Ask the Ram Guy u may find your anwser there
Are you sure it's not the cpu? The board can easily go over 300 fsb. Here is a shot with a 144 opty running d2ol 24/7. I've been running this for months.Quote:

Could be... I know it's not my RAM. I had the same sticks on a CHAINTECH ZNF3-250 Socket 754 with the same memory timings. Memory was running between 260Mhz and 270Mhz. I can't remember specifically what I had the FSB set to on that board. I had a 3200+ overclocked to 2.4Ghz on that board. I can't remember who I told, but I was explaining to someone about trying to find the limitations of certain components and the motherboard did come up in the conversation. I underclocked my CPU, Memory and HT to see how far up I could push the FSB. I was able to get the FSB upto something like the high 260's before it stopped posting.Quote:

Hey 4x4, could you tell me what BIOS your using and how you have things set and possibly even a screen shot of your memory timings using A64 Tweaker? I'm just curious because it could possibly be missing something stupidly simple in my memory timings I've overlooked that's limiting my FSB clock.
