You do not really want to...it will screw with the overclock as I understand it...and I was always told to disable Thermal Throttling..Quote:

What remains (and not fixable in the BIOS) is that Vmem is applied to the DIMM slots before the MB is turned on when AC removed/reapplied to PS. That means always check the Vmem power LED to make sure Vmem is not applied before installing/swapping/removing DIMMs.
Some people thought their DIMMs were dead because of the cold-boot/low-Vmem problem... regarding the rest...my thoughts for whatever they might or might no be worth are in this post.Quote:
Also, what's with sticks of Redline and VX dying? Is this linked to the Cold Boot problem or what is this? Is this separate? And is this an issue for only those running @ very high voltages i.e. 3.5 or so?
Peace :toast:
I am having a strange problem sometimes...the resolution will flash down to about 640x480 size and will blend things together like vertical stripes and what not. It doesn't cause the PC to crash but I can't do anything else really but reset it. Everything maintains its size and all. I can not determine what is causing it. It has never done it while running a game or anything else 3D. Just when opening a program and I remember it doing it a few times when I opend nTune monitor...so I uninstalled that. Thanks for the help.
Is anyone experiencing inconsistent overclocking stability. When I first got my new cpu (0519BPEW VENICE) it needed 1.68vcore and it primed for 18 hours at 9x300, the next day it needed 1.7vcore and now today it needed 1.72vcore and prime failed after 2 hours, sometimes it won't prime for less than a minute and sometimes it primes for 40+ minutes under the same settings, WTH?. I've flashed every bios from 310-1 to 623-3 and I get the same results. My stability it seems is very inconsistent and I am unable to pinpoint the source of my problem. I monitor my voltage rails under prime and they are very solid and consistent at 3.34v/5.10v/12.3. My temperatures are also fine.
I can't figure out my stabiliy issues...I have tried higher voltage even...I still get those random errors...MemTest runs fine and I have yet to run Prime95 error-free. I am going to let it run stock tonight and see how it does.
I don't get it...I keep having the same problem...it makes the screen go all f*ucked up. It has to be a software thing though...because it does it only when a program is opened...but it is always different...it doesn't make sense at all...I am so confused...
I have one problems with Nvidia drivers that makes system lock when it feels like it.
Sometimes runs fine a whole day and sometimes locks in games and stuff after 15 minutes.
Get rid of them if you use them.
What bios version to use?
Would NF4LD310 be ok? Dated 3/10 ...
No, that bios won't do it. You need 510 bios or later. I think that 623 is the best bios for the X2.
Can someone link me to the BIOS that would be best for my setup....specs in Sig...because I can't seem to find the right BIOS for my setup. Thanks.
Also I think the 2D on my video is screwed up and I am going to have to RMA it...BFG is calling me back today. It only screws up at desktop. And the overlay and everything is screwed up.
Yup, thanks, I read some more and notice there was no X2-support on 310.
I flashed 623-3 with a Galep-4 programmer, will put the machine together tomorrownight, hope everything will be ok... Spent almost half a year with Intel 560 and 660 with not much problems, hope this X2 will give me more pleasure than pain.
Should be a good combination with my OCZ3200 rev.2 tccd 2*512...
is it possible to run 4x512 ram sticks in the sli-dr with a 3500+ winchester ?
AMD will always give you more pleasure than an Intel :DQuote:

My chipset seems to be running alittle warm...I am not even overclock right now..I am at default clocks and it is idle at 47C...that seems alittle warm to me..
hmm on dfi street .. i think they said the u have to run it at 2t .. and it runs at ddr333 while on a sd/ venice core it runs ddr400 2tQuote:

The thing is, I read somewhere that unless you update your BIOS, you'll have troubles or issues with a venice core.
Now, If I only have a venice processor (my first A64 system), is it even possible to flash the board with the venice plugged??
What about the memory killing, some people talk around? (EMC2 said up here it's a myth, not real)
Or the need to boot with a high vdimm (near 3v) to achieve stability?
I'm going to buy normal memory, so I doubt it will be able to resist a high voltage.
Are this scary things solved with a BIOS update?
Otherwise, my second option is the Asus A8N (Nforce4 Ultra), is that a nice mobo or just normal?
Thanks on your replys :)
Hmmm... I removed the "chewinggum" and replaced it with AS5...Quote:

Still at stockspeed with 4200 X2, think I'll have to improve cooling though...
with two folding instances running at 100%, cpu temp rises to 52°C, both nTune and Everest call that "motherboard temperature", but I guess the simply switched both sensors.
But the X2 is nice... Will take some time to get it at topspeed...
I ordered this Chipset cooler and will throw some AS5 on it...

Is it correct to remove the Chipset cooler it is like the old 9800Pro video cards with pinching the clips on the back...?

It ran stable with Memtest, OCCT and Memory Analyzer until yesterday i often got BSOD (ntoskrnl.exe) in a random time. Ever more than the last BSOD time. So i run OCCT again and the result is NOT STABLE. I can't understand it. 2 weeks than my CPU goes down? I have reinstalled Win2k with the same settings but i got same BSODs. So i set up lower FSB (250x9 240x9) but i got the same problems. So i tried 220x9 with same settings but i can't get this system stable! At last i tried another settings 2.5-5-5-10 (2.5-4-4-8 is unstable) with 223x9 and it runs stable until now. So i install more programs and games and i hope it stays stable.
But i can't understand. 2 weeks than 100% BSODs? What's happen? My CPU will die?
Those are the settings in the 2 weeks.

And now i have changed only 2.5-4-3-10 to 2.5-5-5-10
What shall i do?
Please help me.
Would someone be so kind to explain (or give me a link to a good explanation)
of the following bios options:
CPU VID Startup Value (currently set to 1.45V)
CPU VID Control (currently set to 1.45V)
CPU VID Special Control (currently set to auto)
--> I use these setting to make my watercooled 4200 X2 run at 275*9 = 2475Mhz (still experiencing some minor instability issues, only shown by Folding@Home)
Mobo is DFI nF4 SLI-D
Memory is OCZ PC3200 plat. rev.2 tccd (2.8V set in bios, 2.85 in reality), 2..5-3-3-7
I can't get anything but stock clocks stable...I don't know what the hell I am doing wrong.

--> Maybe you should try this "old" bios, a friend of mine who has the same board as yours with a San Diego on it, runs 250*10 with stock cooler 24/7 and doesn't report problems (and his f@h scores are good, so I believe his rig is stable).
