Man you really need to set up that memory to DDR2-800 Mode (400MHz freq)

400mhz 3-3-3-12 trc 12 1T sound good? :D Testing 8m ATM, 1m pass. Swapped over to the AMD heatpipe cooler so CPU clocking soon.
I hope the 3800 is given your avatar treatment soon :)
You know the Foxconn is the one Kingpin uses right :D As for now, do tell of your OC :)
Perkam
Yep, that's why I bought it. Proven board. Hoping he drops by to explain all these drive strength settings to me :D
8m passed, pics soon.

I await OCing results with high anticipation :D (And a drop of envy :p )

Spoiler:
Said 2.8 was working now also.Quote:
afIr3wIthIn: what a weird cpu
afIr3wIthIn: 2.6 1.45v locks right away
afIr3wIthIn: 2.75 1.5v works
What a weird chip... 1.45v and 2.6ghz locks as I click apply on clockgen. I boot at 1.5v and 2.8ghz passes 8m.
So it likes volts. :)
Go for 2.9 stable. You have the skill to go 3ghz stable...except not on the stock cooler :p
Do let us in on the sandra benchies at those speeds :)
Perkam
I'm testing as fast as I can. 2888 is 8m stable now. Memory needs to go faster :(
I'm on the AMD 4 heatpipe cooler now. No way would stock cooler do 2.9ghz in my room. It has to be 27-28C in here.

I really need 450+ ram :(
CPU @ 1.55v
RAM @ 2.25v

And I'm done for the night...
nice numbers! cant wait for the dice-benchmarks!
WOW! Amazing clocks for a Opteron heatpipe cooler!
I cant wait for BT + Delta or Dice action!
Nice start! ddr820 was possible with the c3's with 3-3-3-5-1T and the right Dstrengths/ref clock...but higher than that usually require dropping ras to cas to 4 or using 2T cr. Not sure how the ballistix can due, but so far they look good. PM sent AFI.
NIce effort so far AFI , very similar to what im looking at a setup, keep it coming :thumbup:
Interesting your sandra result is so close, I get 400 mb/s less w/ 07. Could you try 1.6v for a min to see if you have any booting/ stability issues? Thanks.
Arn't teapo caps supposed to be crap? This board seems to be full of 'em.:stick:
1.6vcore? I'll try that as soon as I get home from lunch. I'll need it to hit 3ghz anyway.
Kingpin gave me some tips for mem clocking as well so I should be getting some more soon soon.
Rubycon caps around the CPU ;)
Attempting to test:
2800mhz ddr800
3-3-3-8 1t
3-3-3-8 2t
4-4-4-12 1t
4-4-4-12 2t
In 32m to show how much timing affect performence.
It's damn hot in my room today so it might not work out to well :(
Also I dropped to 4-4-4-12 2t and loosened my extra timings a bit real quick and was able to pass DDR1020 with ease.
I'll test 1.6v after the mems.
Coolio :D
Perkam
Ok thank you. I want to confirm the board can handle the vcore before picking one up. Because this K9N obviously cannot.
keep us updated my new memory should be here in a few days will update my thread
2800mhz ddr800 3-3-3-8 vs 4-4-4-12 1t and 2t
3-3-3-8 1T
http://afireinside.evilspork.net/AFI/AM2/3338-1t.JPG
3-3-3-8 2T
http://afireinside.evilspork.net/AFI/AM2/3338-2t.JPG
4-4-4-12 1T
http://afireinside.evilspork.net/AFI/AM2/44412-1t.JPG
4-4-4-12 2T
http://afireinside.evilspork.net/AFI/AM2/44412-2t.JPG
1T to 2T = 16-17 sec in both cases
3-3-3-8 vs 4-4-4-12 = 19-20 sec
37 sec from 3-3-3-8 1t to 4-4-4-12 2t is a big difference. Not sure if the 100mhz gain is enough to cover that. Might test tomorrow.
Vcore and CPU now.
1.6v runs fine, 2950 through 1m but cpu heat is killing me on 8m. pwm area isn't getting all that hot either.
8m stable 2930mhz 1.6v :)
Good stuff, how many phase power is this board, any idea?
How far can you go w/ 1T?
