Here's a ClockGen screenshot.
Hope I got that link thing right I have never used that service before.
System Specs:
Venice 3200+ Week 0531 from Ewiz
AOpen nCK804Ua-LFS
2x 1GB OCZ Platinum
CheapAss x300 PCIe card (untill 7800GT comes down more)
Bt878 TV Tuner (ATi TV Wonder)
2x 7K250 160GB SATA
Welp, I'd say we have unlocked chip #2 on our hands here! Any inkling as to how it happened?
wow it seems like AMD is really f :banana: :banana: :banana: ing up with their locked chips and creating unlocked ones
No idea. I just know I was pissed because the system was dead when I got home. I want to know why it died. I was overclocking with a memory divider before. It was a really mild overclock though (2.4ghz). I kept it at default voltage and it was prime stable. I even had CoolNQuiet running on it when I left so it should not have been a heat issue.
Incidentally, CoolNQuiet DOESN'T WORK ANY MORE.
When I try to launch the AMD Power Moniter, it says...

Something tells me I should run Prime95 to test this thing... :stick:
Imageshack is cool!!!!
My clockgen lets me select different multipliers that wont work. I've tried x10, and only crashed my system as a result. My bios wont let me go over x9.
I want my CoolNQuiet to work. Anyone want to trade me for the unlocked venice I have here? Of course, I cannot make any guarantees...
My Heat is under ClockerXP.

Could you post a CPUZ validation link with a higher multi pls?
we want a cpuz screen not clockgen ;)
everyone can see those multi but won't work :D
anyway if it does well yer damn lucky :)
In my DFI NF4 i can change the C&Q Max Fid to 13.5 what does this mean?
Normally it's on AUTO.But after a BSOD Bios shows me 13.5.
Try to set it in BIOS, boot windows and validate CPU-Z :)
When you say 'Validate' with CPU Z. Do you mean that I should set the multiplier in the BIOS and then run CPU Z after boot up? Then, just show a screen shot of CPU-Z?
Thanks,
CxP
Here's the CPUZ Screen shot. I thought this was 'validation' but now I know it's not! Validation is coming tonight.Quote:

Whoa nice :D another instance unlocked cpu, this is defenitily possible to do it seems.
Now think hard, what do both these situations have in common?
this si 100% insane
i am restarting now to check if mine is unlocked also ;)
Can we hope that an a64 will demand less voltage to be stable at for example 2800 (14*200) as at 2800 (311*9) if it's unlocked?
Wait a sec ... Where is x86-64 from CPU-Z ????Quote:

Then you need fill in this form : http://valid.x86-secret.com/
and give it your CVF file...
Then give us a link for the validation which will be given to you and that's it :)
example of validated link: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=11253
Darnet. Thanks for the info. I'll have to do that when I get home from work.

Clocker you can use RMClock instead for CnQ
Clocker can I put my venice 3000+ cpu in your dead motherboard :)
I think somehow these motherboard might be the reason the cpu gets unlocked. I'm sure Pirs's the first unlock cpu was installed on a defective motherboard.
Lets see what Pirs and Clocker have in common NF4 Ultra motherboards?
maybe cool n quiet or divider play a part in it.
I was running my CPU at default voltage (1.4v) with a 240Mhz FSB and 0.83 memory divider (so I was running ram at ~200Mhz). HTT multiplier was 4x.
WIth CnQ running, the CPU was running at 1200Mhz and 1.1v according to the AMD program. CnQ was running when I left the house and when I got back the system was dead.
Is that stressing anything other than the CPU ('cause of higher clock speed)? Does the above config stress the NF4 chipset? I was using a Zalman passive heatsink on the NF4 chipset. I'm doing that now too but I have a little 40mm fan on it just in case....

I want to place my 330htt 3000+ E6 in there to release mutliplier so I reach 3300mhz or 3600 on air! :explode:
At many places, they say to DON'T use Cool N Quiet on overclocked system.. Could it be that C N' Q and multiplier lock/limit are not doing "like" they should. Ok please now , I want a bad bios corruption too and I think I 'll play with Cool N Quiet tonight :coffee:
Anyone care to give me some feedback on the below... ?
