LOL Macci I wasn't going to say anything until it was public ! lol
I've tried going into windows at 240, 250, and 260, all give me the same result. I havn't tried playing with lower multi's yet, I've got to get past this wall and hit 2.8ghz or I won't be able to sleep ! :D
Any suggestions ?? what would the Vldt mod do for me ??
That is just sick!!! I am paying big bucks for a good oc'ing 2.6c right now. I was gonna let these a64's mature a little before getting them being that I usually only build 1 or 2 systems a year, but they are looking pretty mature as they completely dominate the orb right now...and none of them were that high :D
Major Hope it wont do the same thing for you as it did for me RIP
I hope not to Stinger, I've only got 1.75v on Vcore right now and I think I could probably lower that to 1.7 or so and still be able to bench. It was running fine at 2.6ghz and 1.65v
Major that system is gonna be incredible with the 9800 in there. Good luck bud. :toast:
you better go fast though...your secret is out. If you had kept it under wraps you probably would have had the top spot easily!
Well you still have to have a chip that will do 2.7ghz + and I think with my vapo PE on the r9800pro that I should be able to bench at 550/420 or better on the gpu. I doubt I can take 1st Opp is at 2.7ghz too and his Rady is OCed to 580mhz ?? lol
Major,
I believe 27K is "for sure" possible...
C
Is this with an FX or a 3200?
This is an A64 3200+
Ok I've just tried 3:2, 5:3 dividers and no change, I can't figure out what is causing it to lock up at 2.8ghz. Its acting like its the agp/pci bus, and IMO clockgen doesn't change the divider from whatever it is set at in bios so until new bios I guess 2.74ghz is it.
Does the FX5900 like high agp ??
Somehow I think that you will find out that answer on your own;)
Damn fast machine you got there MS
:toast:
try 300fsb and see if a 1/9 divider kicks in
That is rediculous!! Unacceptable!! My grandma can oc her toaster that high!!Quote:

Ya that what I just got through doing ! at first it appeared as though the agp/pci was on a different divider based on clockgen info, but it did the same thing when I OCed it.Quote:

I've squeezed alittle more out of it, lol 2.75ghz now. by disableing a couple of ht settings (that I don't even know what they do ! lol) crc flood and tristate ??
tri state will dramatically affect performance in the tristate area...but once you have left that geographical region, it looses it's affect...happy to be of assistance...:spam:
try agp4x with fastwrites off? if you havn't already and the settings are available. how cold is the northbridge?
Well I'm running a R7500 AIW right now until I get my vpao back on the R9800pro. I'm waiting until tomorrow I've got a FX5900 coming and I want to modify the vapo mount so I can use it on it aswell. So I think the card is already running at 4x and no fast writes. I'm through playing with it tonight, got a big day in front of me tomorrow with benching and will tackle it when I've got it set up to do some benching. Who knows the R9800pro might like higher agp than the R7500 does ? or vice versa ? lol
Damn fine work Major, it's nice to see the results coming in, now all that's needed is the new BIOS for some serious benching. :D
damn, those are some nice sandra scores
:slobber:
Major, I got the same AGP problem with one FX5900 here.... 260MHz FSB and above is a no go.... AGP tearing and black outs all over the place.... like in the early NF2 days, when we wanted 200FSB :D
Those VIA are eh realy dump arse.... I bet the KT880 won't have AGP/PCI Locks...
Please Major Slaughter....
Can you Post the Full Stepping of your CPU ????
I've got here mine and is ADA3200AEP5AP CAAKC 0334TPMW 9441535240131....
This night i will install it on my ASUS K8V DLX and see how it goes....;)
i lost my win install @10*270 :(
Sorry I didn't get to finish my thoughts before I posted the above and could not reply back sooner. My 1 year old son is teething and did not sleep well last night. Anyway, it was not a vendor at the show that said that, but another customer. I started to explain to him that it was not possible to reach 5 GHz with an A64 chip, but after a few minutes I realized the futility of my efforts and just gave up. For some reason, he really believed that it was possible.Quote:

I asked what type cooling the guy was using, and he said the guy did it on water cooling. So it looks like you have a long way to go to reach 5 GHz.
So great overclock Major, Mickey, etc.!!!
Very nice oc Major!
Enjoy... :banana:
Just a side note for Althlon 64/FX users. New CPU-Z has been released. Ver1.20.
Grab it here.
