does anyone in here have a problem w/ a msi k8n neo4 platinum not booting anything above 235 htt at cold boot? it will boot if i warm it up. i am stable at 3ghz at 1.55v in windows using clockgen. prime stable for 8+ hours. i know it isn't my memory either. if it helps the mem divider is at 166 and htt 3x. i have the ocz gold edition that does 250 at 2.5-3-3-8. can anyone help me out here?
Unfortunately I can't help you, but I've seen others post a similar story to yours.
So wait...how are you guys achieving this? What are your voltages for LDT and chipset?
What what are you're LDT/FSB multipliers at or around?
-----
Absolute gave me some tips to change the LDT/FSB multiplier to X3 instead of X4(which I was at), unfortunately it didn't work for my chip. Anyother ideas? My temps are fine, so I don't need more cooling, idle it can get down to 25-26*C, on full load its around
40*C(+/- 2*C)
But for some reason... I cannot run prime95 for more than 20minutes once I'm at 2.90gHz(or higher for that matter, I booted it at 3020mhz for fun), the highest I took my voltage was up to 1.525volts..but like I explained earlier, it should've been able to run it at least stable for a little longer, I keep upping, but it doesn't seem to do the trick, any other suggestions?? Or it... just my chip?

3.18GHz seems to be the max that spi32M will complete at. Max prime95 is 3.1

Αny ideas about this stepping?

Same motherboard as you and the ram is OCZ PC4800 EL Plat :)Quote:

Any ideas?
Basically, other than just upping the cpu voltage, are there any other crucial factors that I should be aware of? My LDT voltages are at 1.3, my chipset is at 1.6v, I haven't touched them since, and of course my ldt/fsb ratio is x4.
I had a CB2E and 3000 was benchable but 3D games no go,have to drop to 2970,go figures...:slapass:
Put your LDT/HTT (fsb) no more than 3Quote:

My LDT voltage are at 1.3, chipset is at 1.7v, and LDT multi is x3.
What cpu multiplier and htt settings are you using?
I don't think there are any tricks to use to get your cpu to 2.9GHz stable. If your memory is backed off, then it appears you may have reached the limit.
I'm on a 10X multiplier, I've experiment with others in order to get my ram speeds up, but I decided it was too extreme, I'd be pumping out an FSB speed of 330+ on 8.5-9X multipliers.
Of all the things there are to overclocking, settings, etc. I actually never quite understood the LDT/FSB frequency, in one sentence or a quick explanation, what did I do wrong by going with x4?
Tweaking the comp now.
CAB2E 0545 MPMW
3150Mhz @ 1.71v on water , naked. Not the best chip but ok.. Will try under SS phase later.

Opteron 146 CAB2E 0546 FPMW @ 2940mhz benchstable.
2800 1.5 prime stable.
Standard HTT is 5x 200Mhz = 1000.Quote:

In my case i can get max. 1280, everything above that causes instability.
So for me to go higher than 256Mhz, i need to lower my HTT multiplier.
no one with @ CABQE 0547 ?
i can't find other people, having the same cpu...
my oc :
2.9 Ghz @ <1.5vCore..
MaxTcaseTemp = 57°
CABNE 0530 APMW fully aircooled... 19°C ambiant at start, and 16°c at end (opened window)

I think I'll call it quits on the extreme overclocking for a little while. Right now its running at 2.8ghz @ 1.36volts, prime stable for 8 hours and 24minutes and still going.
I've become obsessed with it lately, but I need to get back to school work and other work, haha. I am however, considering to purchase an opteron 170(I'd get the 165, but too hard to find right now).
My goal as usual is to get as high as I can, as "safe" and stable as possible. I say "safe" because I know that any overclocking is supposed to cut the lifespan of a cpu, but yeah, I try to keep the voltages below 1.6v, and I try to make the system stable so I can use it for whatever, extreme gaming or extreme program usage.
Thats a nice overclock :clap:Quote:

My 0546GPAW colbugged at +14°C.. that sucks hard! :slapass:
Yesterday i tryed to bench close to the opened window and when it reached 14°C (3150MHz 1,53V) it freezed, with 1,7V i had no problem, becouse the lowest temp was about 16°C...
cold bugged at +14C? God damn, i think that's worse than my cold bug. That isn't even good for waterchilling then.
Yep, really strange! +14°C Coldbug.. don't know what AMD is doing. :stick:
When does ur Opteron coldbug?
14°c? Are u shure u are not having stability problems?
