man this is some good stuff, if only we could figure out if this is the bios or the cpu, maybe this has something to do with the cpu's not wanting to run the VID high so with the % increase your only raising the core's voltage...
man this stuff makes socket A overclocking look like childs play, i better upgrade before its to late and i have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about!(VID??!)
This works, tested b/c when set to 1.5v or above in bios it reverts to 1.4 for me. Anyway, atm im not doing too bad, 100% benchable at 2.75, will boot windows at 2.8 with 1.6v...........gonna try one of the other bios and give it up to 1.7v to see what i can get outta it. Its a 3200+ cbbid 0507 on an msi neo 2 platinum. Not too bad for my first overclock where i have working agp locks.
i've test the setting using % and not raising vid but the result still the same duo to my lousy ram. not sure if i'm reaching my limits with 2.43. others i will test it out when i got better ram.
Regarding my +xxx% and VID comments, I'll say this for now... VID is the 5-bit encoded setting to the Vcore controller IC. When you change the base Vcore in the BIOS, it changes the VID to the controller IC. However, when you use the +xxx%, it does not change the VID encoding to the chip, it adjusts the Vcore through a different method, leaving the VID encoding as set in the base setting.Quote:

Peace :D
aha so what i said does make some sense.. yes
Ok, tried the trick on my cpu. Not a single mhz more :brick: (still at 2300).
My Neo2 gave 1.33V @ 1.5V in BIOS. I now tryed 1.4V in BIOS + 5.0% and CPU-Z now neasures 1.440V! This is great, maybe I can now reach more than 2.25Ghz... :)
I'm still a little confused!
So if I lowered the volts to like 1.3 and set CPU VID Special to 100% - wouldn't it make 2.6 V?
No, if you set it to 100% you get 100% of the selected voltage. If you set it to 110%, you get 110% of the selected voltage and so on... so for 1.3V 110% you'd get 1.3x1.10 = 1.43VQuote:

Better clock aswell, Priming it right now. And I can for the first time clock with an official BIOS! (MSI Neo2 Platinum BIOS 1.5 Official)
Now i get it, so what is CPU Startup VID for?Quote:

This it is the best configuration that allows my processor (CBBID 0550) 1.55 + 104 % 2.6ghz pi stablly
http://img146.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img1...e=setpi4pc.jpg
My CBBID (0503EPMW) does 2550 mhz (max limit) with 1.65V but it isn't stable and it can't bench. Above 2550 does't load the OS.
It benchs @ 278x9 = 2500 with 1.6V (LINK) but it can't pass prime95 small fft test.
Max stable oc is 2300-2350 :(
Dunno, I just set it to 1.55V...Quote:

Of course I'd like to run it at a lower vCore but...I need the speed. I was hoping pc4400 would fix something. I might try to sell this cpu/mobo and get a better a64 and one of those DFI boards. I dunno...I must admit I'm disappointed with the overclock. My 1700 was at 2.1 ghz for so long that I must have started to take 700+ mhz for granted.
temps are a bit high with the stock cooler. If I can find a place with the swiftech blocks actually in stock I'll be getting one of those.
I have the same issue on my new 05 FX55 it STINKS FOR OVERCLOCKING
nice
