Xiode..that sig pic is great..LMAO
Thanks. :D
Anyway, I'm thinking of RMAing this board. I'm going to wait until I get my RMAed 3500+ Winnie back, along with some new G.Skill LE which should be here tomorrow. I can't wait! :p
mine refuses to go over 220fsb dc...... on singel i can hit 280 but dc i cant even hit 220......
Very bad Northbridge! Try to RMA it or sell it on ebay. ;)
why?Quote:

Mine too... that was with BH-5 @ 3.3vQuote:

Yay, I got my new G.Skill LE from NewEgg today. :D Only problem is, my RMAed 3500+ Winnie won't be here until next week. :(
aww man what a shame
where did u get it from? and why did u RMA it?
hey guys!
ive been learking in this forum for a while and i finnally signed up! im not really new to ocing or anything but i think i may like this forum better then alot of the others out there...
anyway i got this board w/ a 3000+ winnie week 42, just got my gig of gskill le (yay!) today so i can finally run 1:1. right now im running at 9x260 1:1 2340mhz. but i cant get past 260 stable, i dono if its the NB or the mem controller on the winnie. ive tried mutliple bioses, all the hidden options set right, ldt @ 3x blah blah blah. someone said putting new HS compound on the NB might help which i plan on doing. he also said "lap the NB" whats that mean? ive been considering getting a 3200 n trying that but if its the NB then im not gonna get anywhere. oh n i seem to get mem errors at anything over 260 even with mem at or below rated timings so does that point to NB or chip?
thanx all great thread lots of info that already helped me out! :toast:
And friend of me had an Gigabyte nforce3 and can't past 220 with Dualchannel,Quote:

the northbridge! :)
My Gigabyte nForce 3 don´t works over 230 with 1T. I selected 2T and than the gigabyte runs with 275 fsb. Its a crazy board, the msi is not better. It works wonderful with 250fsb and with 300fsb, but with 251 to 299 it runs totally instable. After 2 or 3 seconds in superpi I became the error message :( supid mb
Assuming you have done everything you can possibly do, then your bottleneck could be your cooling or the processor itself......looks like week 44-47 is getting best results.Quote:
i got this board w/ a 3000+ winnie week 42,
I just got mine, 3200, from ZZF yesterday, its a 447 SPAW, I hope to fly high...wish me luck... :)
i made some progress! thanks to u guys of course. anyway this got me thinkin.
i remembered seeing this somewhere and i thought i tried 300 before w/ no post. so i said what the hell set the htt to 301 drop the mult to 7 used the 166 mem divider and what do u know. boots into windows! then runs benchmarks!! superpi, S&M 1.3 fpu test for 20min no probs. sandra cpu and mem. halfway through 3dmark 03 had a restart. bumped the mem voltage from 2.7 to 2.8 makes it through 3dmark 03!!! so i started playing a game for further test but alas after about 10mins restart with a bsod flash (i had this before with mem problems) even tho the mem is running below rated speeds w/ the divider i decided to try setting the command rate to 2t and its priming large FFT's as i type (on the 3rd test) this is amazing! weird board eh i couldnt even get to the windows loading screen at 270 thanks a million guys i would have never thought of this! :toast: :banana:Quote:

At the Moment I´m use 307FSB 1:1 3-4-4-8 1T. When my system runs with 275 2.5 3-3-7 2T I lose too much performance. 1T with 275FSB would be wonderful. The multi on 9 and 275fsb is running stable but when i use 10 or 9.5 with 250 - 279 than I becom the "not exakt in round" error message after 1 or 2 seconds by superpi.Quote:

Whats up with boot menu on this mobo, stays forever loading up, stuck at the memory prompt and Norton Ghost cant see my raid setup.
perc listen to gravedigga ... he is right..Quote:

Set the Multimeter to the 2V setting and then try several bios Vcore settings to see what is the real Vcore .
My experience says that you should consider 0.05V more than CPUz reports
:toast:
Just cheked what esdee said above, i'm getting 1.78idle & 1.79/80 at full load, bios 1.3b6 no mods, just vcore set to 18.3%.
Damn the officiel 1.4bios suck. I can only have 1.55+10% (1.64 max in the bios/windows) :(
:banana: Hey You guys all around here - wanna thank You all for You help -
without reading all this stuff here I wouldn't be able to do this:
:D LOOK !!! :D

Again with my settings questions:
Advanced CMOS Features:
System BIOS Cacheable - Off/On?
I put on off (default BIOS 1.36B) but I don't know what it do... I was told it can help stuttering on some games!
AGP Aparture size:
Should I put it on 256M or 512M? My 6800GT has 256MB Vram ofcourse...
Thanks !!! :banana:
I think 256mg is best...but I can not recall the reason
Thanks man.
What about the "BIOS Cacheable"? Do you have a clue?
Thanks in advance :D
Hi all...long time reader, first time poster...
How accurate do you guys believe Memtest86 or Memtest86+ to be when testing RAM with the Neo2 and other Socket 939 boards?
With the configuration in my sig, I can post at 250FSB, but not boot all the way into Windows (running at 1T-2.5-3-3-8 or 1T 2.5-3-3-10, 4x HTT, and 1.5-1.55v on the CPU, 2.7v on the RAM). At 240FSB, I can boot and run, but shutting down takes forever compared to stock speed, so I don't trust it completely. At 225FSB, things seem to work pretty well. However, at both 240 and 225, Memtest86+ 1.40 gives me a fair amount of RAM errors. I've tested both 240 and 225 with Folding@Home and it has run for hours without failing.
I don't know what chips are on my RAM, just that it's a dual-channel kit of Kingston HyperX PC3200, part number KHX3200AK2/1GR (I've heard rumors that it's Winbond CH5, but it's not proven, specs are at http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX3200AK2_1G.pdf ). At stock speeds, it runs fine at 1T-2-3-3-8 (I believe it's spec-ed to run 2-3-3-6, but haven't tried it). Should I try upping the VDIMM? Or is it possible that Memtest86 doesn't truly recognize the way the Athlon 64's onboard memory controller works?
I always run with BIOS cacheable. I don't know if it increases performance as much as it used to in the 386/486 days, but it always added a little more zip.Quote:

Your ram most likely cannot handle those high FSB @1T, if it has TCCD chips I would say it could, but seeing that your SPD is loose even at stock I think you are stuck at those speeds. Loosing the timings and running a divider might help, but if you want >250FSB you have to look elsewhere.
