Does anyone have problems booting with a high HTT on a divider?
I'm using an Opty 165 with some 2x1gb G.SKILL ZX.
My comp will boot at 1:1 @ 260 @ cas3 but will not boot at 166:200 on otherwise the same settings.
This kinda stinks because I only have a 9x mult. :(
Anyone have any advice?
Nice job Side Effect !!
This ram wouldnt run stable with any bios but this one. I tried all your other TCCD versions but this is the one ! :toast: :banana: :woot:
AMD A64 3200+ @ 2.66
MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum
PDP Patriot XBLK PC3200 @ 221Mhz 2-5-3-2
BFG 6800 Ultra
WD Raptor 74Gig
I have this problem with MSI K8N (v7025). When I OCed yesterday I go up to 336FSB (HTT 3x), but this morning I started PC only with 320FSB.
My frien told me, I have COLD start bug.
I want run on 8*336 stable! What I have to do, if I started PC with 336FSB?
edit: nvm
wow.. you got almost identical setup to mine ;)Quote:

have you tried 133:200 ?
If you can reach 2.8-3GHz you could try these settings. There's a chance your motherboard will handle it if you up the AGP voltage just a little:
FSB = 310-333
CPU multi = 9
Mem div 133:200 (actually it will be 9:14)
HTT multi = 3
Then you will be running your cpu @ 2790-2997MHz, your memory @ 199-214 MHz Cas 2-3-2-5 and your FSB @ 930-999.
second thoughts..
150:200 div not working either?
Question: what is 183 divider and 150 divider?
I see this setting/word on description MODDED BIOS.
Can you answer me pls?
ps: I used some MODDEd BIOS and try OC-now I am testing CPU on 9*312 with 1,5V+5% (real about 1,52V....CPU-Z)
those are memory dividers. so if you use something like 10 * 300HTT = 3000mhz and memory divider @ 150, then your memory will run at 220mhz.Quote:

I'm wondering what to blame...
I will try the other memory slots I guess... when I get some free time. :)
My AGP voltage is at 1.65 btw.
Tried the other memory slots.. still can't boot with a 166:200 divider past 230. 150 and 133 also behave similarly.
just to throw a spanner in the works ... but what BIOS are yuo using ...?
1.c standard modded by SEQuote:

In revies on WEB this memory run 600+MHz, but my run only about 580. Now I go on 510MHz with better letence.
I have to try next BIOS:-)

my winnie cant push the rams beyond ddr510 :(
i'll juz stick to ddr500 with 3-4-3-8 1T then :cool:
sideefect had a post a page ago that have also the direct links to this bios .. :)
What AGP voltage your recommned for an X850 pro
I can't get the 183:200 divider to work on my system :( Ain't the Opty 165 supposed to support 150 and 183 div's ?
I think it's the board that has divider support, not the cpu...Quote:

I wonder if one of the other BIOSes would be better.. I just got the opty and flashed 1.c when I popped it in.
Hi to all.
I have a MSI K8N Neo2 board that i just bought (AGP card..), and when messing with the core voltage, i can't stick a value to it when going above 1.4. For example, when i choose Core CPU Vid of 1.2 until 1.4, the values stick, with a little flutuation.
But when going above 1.4, the core voltage just keeps at 1.37~1.39.
Only when choosing the percentual values in the bios i can increase the core voltage up to a limit of 1.57~1.6
Is this normal?
Thank you all
In whitch program Can I see BIOS setting? I dont flash BIOS and see setting in A64tweaker. I Want see performance BIOS before Flashing.
Hi my sites back up :woot:
For any opteron users with problems theres a bios at the german MSI forums that might help. I havnt tried it but the maker (Xarel) says he has fixed the opteron Temp issue and added better support so maybe worth a go.
MSI german Forum Mod bios section
Thanks, SE!Quote:

Are the 183 and 150 Dividers added by you guys? or was it added by MSI?Quote:

And if so; does the Opteron 165 have those dividers?
Ps. Your site seemst to be down again :(
you guys got issues with 183 deviders?
my winnie is fine with it.. [never tested 150 tho]
tested with memtest n superPi.. htt280, ddr504
but still, i prefer 1:1...
The "HyPeR-XT Bios Ver. 1.1" bios was even more unstable for me as far as dividers go. So, I'm back on SE's modded 1.c standard.
I didn't think to try with 2T timing, so I'm currently experimenting with it!
So far, 280HTT on a 133 divider... hopefully I can keep going!
edit: After crashing again at 285HTT, I FINALLY noticed something. When I was upping the clock in clockgen, my PCI freq went up too! WTF? It looks like the PCI lock doesn't work when I'm using a divider, but it works ok when I'm at 1:1. I'm confused!
edit#2: After playing around with it more, it seems that the 133 divider doesn't cause the PCI clock to change in clockgen. Is there another tool that I can use (that I might already have) to check the PCI freq? If that IS the problem, can I change that in the BIOS? I think SE's mod hides the PCI clock, but... :/
edit#3: Well, even though the PCI clock doesn't change in clockgen, bumping the HTT up even a little bit past 280 (ie: 282) causes my computer to hang instantly
Time to sleep and try again tomorrow.. ;)
I forgot to mention that i have bios 1.C modded by SideeffectQuote:

jeebus.. msi's bios department need to fix lotsa isues n release a good fixed bios, rather than releasing 1 bios for each fixes >__>
I Have big problem with my Mushkin 2x512DDR 550MHz ram (probably TCCD chips). I fried about 8 BIOSes (all these BIOSes are unstable on ma computer. Problem is in Memtest!!!
I am testing on 312HTT(FSB), HT 3x, divider 183=560MHz 2,5-4-4-8 T1,
2,75-2,85V
T tried MODDED Balistix and TCCD BIOSes...
What can I do for stability?
Are you sure your cpu can handle so high mem speed mine can only make it to
510 but my mem can do 530
xxbiker
Ok I modded 1.D Beta 1.
works fine so far on my rig not sure what has changed. Msi changelog = changed name from 1.C to 1.D beta 1 :p:
So let me know how it goes for any of you that can be bothered to test it. No options have been added so it must be some other tweaks perhaps new cpu identification or tweaked vcore etc.
i'll try, if it comes with ultra loose tref, mal n rp :D
Yes sry e-jump ive been lazy so I stuck with the already compiled settings eg. TCCD/ballistix. If I change the settings I have to compile another version which doesnt take to long. Ill do it this weekend and once its done its easy to add to any future bios as well.
How is every getting this board to run memory up too 250mhz (500) mine won't go past 211mhz, I have corsair pc4000 pro, ran memtest with no errors,
my cpu is operation 148, setting are 250fsb, ht at 4, multiplier set to 11 memory at 183mhz that is the highest I can go. mem setting are 2.85v, timmings are 8,3,3,3 430 true power supple, HELP PLEASE, also using sideefects bios 1c.
thks
coop
@coop
so u have opteron148 with 11x multi, but u cant run ur rams to ddr500?
is the ram rated ddr500 3-3-3-8?
tried reducing the HT to 3x?
how bout try multi 10x and see if the ram can go ddr500
im having random reboots with 1.c final, so im back with 1.c beta3 bios
---------------
are u using 183:200 devider? seems opty users have this prob
try 200:200 instead
have updated my BIOS to your 1.C TCCD ed. and have noticed a big improvement, BUT my system is still unstall @250. ( just blue screens in games normally. and fails tests. BUT NOT mem86 ! )Quote:

Yep my memory is rated ddr500 with 3,3,3,8. i'll try the 10 in the morning when I get home, haven't tryed that yet. did try the ht @ 3 that didn't work.Quote:

SideEffect, Do you always use the same method to implement the 183 and 150 dividers? Is there maybe only one method? Do you know of anyone that cant use "your" 183 div, but can use 183 with some other modded bioses ?
cooptroop4, have you tried to clock to 250MHz with 2.75volts ? Maybe your ram doesn't like this high current.
One thing i've noticed on my K8N.
The VCC starts to fluctate pretty heavily when i dual-prime for some time. With 1.C3 SE mod the Vcore became very unstable when the VCC started fluctating.
1.C SE mod Final cured the vcore fluctations alot. I also put heatsinks on all the vcore voltage regulators, and on most of the capacitators near the cpu. VCC became much more stable, but still it sometimes falls like 0.1v, sometimes even more.
I will post screenies both before "1.C and heatsinks" and after when i'm @ home :)
Just tryed it @ 2.75v, ht set too 3, and multi. set too 10, did it different ways, wasn't stable at all, windows would only run for about 1min than it would reboot, also I'm using a sata drive if that helps, its in the 3 slot.
thks
coop
cooptroop4 - dont use the 183 divider, lots of people say they have trouble with it
Hi guys
MSI Fixes in 1.D1 = Added FX60 support :toast:
Think thats all they did.
The 183 and 150 dividers are locked by MSI and so I doupt MSI test them when they test their bioses. Because of that they may have issues with certain cpus ram etc. It wont damage the board or anything but just might prove unstable for some.
However its better to have the option so we can all see for ourselves. On my san diego cpu the 183 works just fine.
I'm on 1.d now, but it hasn't fixed my divider problem.
However, I sunk so low as to try the 1:2 divider.. Currently at 305x9... lol
Looks like I might have to get a new board? :/
Really wish I could use that 133 or 166 divider...
edit: crashed at 310x9
I'm thinking now...
Crashes at ~310 on the 100/200
Crashes at ~280 on the 133/200
Crashes at ~245 on the 166/200
Testing 150/200 now..
And by crash I mean the computer hangs instantly. :(
the 183 divider gets me the hightest stable speed I can get for the memory.
thks

sideeffect can you do the no temps edition for tccd?? i have a lots of problems with my opty 165 with the tccd memory...
thkx :D
K would love to see what you did and R waiting in anticip...ation for these screenshots =DQuote:

I would also like to see those screenies Gnarr :toast:
oh noes...
se's bios page is downs again..
btw, juz got my ram coolers today..
manage to push the rams to ddr520.. but still cant make it prime stable..
superPi 16M failed the last iteration .. means need more tweakin..
any news of uccc edition? :p
Sites back now. Yes I made a UCC version with settingsQuote:

Flashed the bios reset and it corrupted my bios after boot. So I hot flashed and shelved that mod for the moment. Its possible that my ram wont run that losely its also possible that nforce 3 has issues with 9ns Max async which I have heard before. Its also possible that the tref setting is messing it up. Going to test it again some time soon. I must admit I didnt clear cmos after flash as I rarely do if its same version bios but I should have done :slapass:

btw, is the Tref options in memtest86 correct? default was 7.8us
changed to 15.6us gave more error o__O"
so i guess Tref can be 7.8us [default?]
bout the MAL & RP, probably can try 10, and 7.5..
only MAL & RP cant be changed in memtest86, so maybe this can lead to something :D
oh well, im not sure myself whats limiting me to go 261 in dual channel..
in single stick mode, both pass 265
thanx SE for spending some time for these bioses :D
1.D1 BIOS is unstable with high HHT (FSB).. Berofe I run witch 312FSB now it's unstable witch 310HTT:-( I must try next BIOS:-)
First let me apologize if someone posted this recently, but I REALLY didn't feel like reading through 160 (yes, 160!) pages of posts trying to find whether or not it had been posted before.
I recently decided to add another pair of WD 1600JB SATAs to SATA 1 & SATA 2 (same as other pair in sig.) I had read here before somewhere that 1 & 2 did not care to be OC'd so I reduced my clock and RAM to 200x11 and 2-2-5-2 T1 settings. Current BIOS is 1.8 and that's a Winny chip. Voltages are running ~ 3.26, 5.02 and 11.91 in the hardware monitor in the BIOS.... All drivers are the latest from nVidea... I'm running 5.10 rather than 5.11 for the chipset.
To make a long story short, I'm getting BSODs (machine check exception,) random reboots etc...
Any ideas/suggestions from someone who might have seen this before...?
Thanks in advance.

K nuh running 4x HDD's in RAID0, but have very recently installed 2x HDD's in RAID0 (for OS) + 1xSATA (for storage)
system will randomly lockup for long periods (upto 1 minute) and then resume as if nothing has happened!?!?
have now decided to buy 2 large HDD's (for OS & storage) and put them in RAID0 instead of the above config :shrug:
so, erm, yeah - sorry, can't help but K R in the same boat as you kind of =/
Is there a certain BIOS that works the best with Bh-5?????????
Yes 1.36 is supposed to be the best with BH5. But it has no x2 support.

the nf3 seems to suck with BH-5 to begin with, anyone have direct experience of using the same Bh-5 sticks in an nf3 vs nf4 and the difference in clocks?
The highest I have been able to make it is 273MHz 2-2-2-6 and the gain in bandwidth is minimal compared to TCCD at 273 2.5-3-3-7, something like 30-50mb/s
Hmm.. Seems to me I need a AMD and/or a mobo mfgr engineer...
Anyone out there that fits the bill?
Maybre my buddy from G.Skill can help me out...
Thanks in advance for the response

I would start trying other drivers. Look for the 6.66 nforce 3 remix drivers. They include nforce 4 sata drivers that are newer but seem to work fine.Quote:

I would also consider a pci sata card instead of using ports 1 and 2 because then you can overclock again. They can be bought for next to nothing on ebay or stores like ebuyer or newegg.
hey guys, i got this board used about a week ago and im have some trouble over clocking it.I have a 3000+winchester, i can get it to about 2.2 ghz and it will run stable untill it warms up....the stock nb heat sink has been replaced with this tiny thing, and i think that might be the reason why it is locking up.I would post a pic of it if you could tell me how.and is the system temp the temp of the nb? also if it helps any i have 1gb of corsair xms,an asus 9800xt,an sb live 5.1 (only cuz onboard one of my rear spk wont work) and one 74gb raptor.thanks for the help

hey
i've problems with my neo2 and my tccd g.skills :(
i can't work with 280mhz and more. :mad:
280mhz to 285mhz is memtest stabil but in windows superPI or primeblend only works for seconds.:eek:
others have more than 300mhz with the same ram. i use the 1.C final TCCD bios and now the 1.D TCCD
vdimm is 2,7V (more is worse; more errors in memtest)
i'm going to upload an image with a64tweaker and so on.

what's wrong?
I'm paired up with a Venice 3000+ (Which I'm currently at 2.7) and KingstonValueRAM PC3200 Rated CAS3 3 3 8 @ 2.6v 200mhz @ CAS2.5 3 3 8 @ 2.7 225mhz. 512x2 in Dual Channel. My 133 divider is also broken!! :slapass: It works fine with stock clocks, but any change will result in not posting or if changing via ClockGen a hard lock. The 150 worked and allowed my from going from 2.5 with the 166 to 2.7 with the 150. (THANK YOU SIDEEFFECT!) I've tried almost every BIOS out there and visisted every thread I could find. Does anyone know what is with these bad dividers?Quote:

i bought my rams 2 weeks ago and yesterday i bought the ocz booster.
the rams are works perfect at 400mhz 1,5-2-2-5 1T only 2,75V
now they works at 433mhz 2-2-2-5 @ 3,1V and no more. :confused:
i tried vdimm up to 3,4-3,5V but nothing more than 433.
many errors in memtest at test8 and the system is not stable.
i would like 500mhz 2-2-2-5 1T.
whats the problem? somebody know the answer?
You using Windows Vista? Or is that a vista skin because vista is hardly stable as an OS yet. Drivers are buggy programs are buggy in it.Quote:

On a side note Using windows vista x64 and a64 tweaker corrupted my bios. Just a warning :p:
hey Auk,
i have the same problem, but can't seem to pass a mem86 test @ 250 !
i really don't know why.
can any one help me. ?
hmm...
as for me, im able to pass memtest at 260
beyond that, ERRORS O__O
but in windows, 260 will make my pC reboot at random , even when idle..
now back to 255, as it seems stable =__= ..
btw, highest vdimm was 2.65v.. beyond this , more errors probably ram overheat
blade, either ur vcore low [mem controller lack juice] or mem controller juz cant handle 2gb well
@sideeffect
that's only a new skin.
i use win xp home edition
yesterday 280mhz and even 285mhz were stabil. but i had to work with 3-4-3-7 :mad:
i want to reach 300mhz or even more. 313 1:1 :D
an other strange thing is that 313mhz @2,7V 3-4-3-7 1:1 2T are memtest stabil for hours but windows can't boot :confused:
@ sideeffect thx for you great bios.. at least i can prime @ 2345MHz for 10 minutes :)) with the 1.B default i couldn't keep it stable not even 2100MHz .. i got a Venice 3000+ NBBWE 0606CPMW.. i think it's also a bad steping.. if anyone can help me online @ irc ori something go #overclocking @ qnet or pm pe plz.. thx
LE : i got it @ 2508Mhz @ default vcore.. same thing it freezes after about 10 minutes if cpu is @ heavy load.. i'm using the 150 divider wich seems to be the best for me.. since my current ram can't pass 440MHz.. what do you guys think this freezing is all about?
I have MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum 54G and Opeteron144. I want to try C'n'Q, but original BIOS doesn't supported this function. Qustion: New or modded BIOSes support this function?

What do you think about my passive cooling? Should I try It?
ps: In Prime test I have about 50°C, In normal wokr is temp about 35°C.
1.475 - 1.55 is ignored guys by the cpu. Thats due to the newer cpus locked at 1.45 volts. So After you hit 1.45 cpu vid start using the percentages to gain more volts. Maximum is 1.45 + 10 percent which = about 1.63 volts.
Can someone answer to my last post please? What should i do to make it stable pump some vcore? how much for start? thx :(
did u tried 1.4v + 8% or something
u can only up the vcore till around 1.45v .. then u need to use vid %..
my mobo suffers undervolt around 0.02 and it fluctuates >__>
hello i have read alot of folks here have problems with memtest here,stable in dos but failed in windows.That is a problem whith your cpu.The integrated mem contoller on the 64 cpu,s can make it in dos but not in windows.so if youre sure your mem can make it higher try another cpu.Mine can only make 510 mem in windows but it caan make 530 in dos whith memtest 86.
And i don,t think opterons is compatible whith cool and quiet.
hehe wel sorry to have missed your posts in the forums about that silly, anyway seems now to be stable @ 1.5volts. and 250. ..... how much volts can i put through the sandiego +3700 ...? btw i'm still on stock cooling ! .. so won't be expecting alot more out of this til i get a beeter HSF. which air cooler and fan is the best for this mobo, i beleve the ThermalRight SI-120 is very good ( with the fan ) but won't fit on hte board ...???

Anybody get this board too run two sticks of 512 memory and two sticks of 256 at the same time? I notice in the manual it doesn't show two double sided with two single running, when I try too run them all it gives me a error for window that a system 32 is missing, leave just two in and all his fine.

no i never tried that but i think you would lose performance becuse even if it would run right none of them would run ddr.I think any way.Is the 512 ddr or the 256? even if it was only the 256 you would be better off just running the 2 256
I thought this mobo had two dual channels, but I guees i'm wrong, I have two sticks of 512 pc4000 and two sticks of 256 pc4000.

it does have 2 x dual channel but you still got to have the same type of dimms like 4 x 512 or 4 x 256 .. then would be dual channel..:nono:
Well I just bought two more of those sticks, also my RMA corsair came today and they will not due 500mhz, so now I'm going to sell them on ebay.

Im about to upgrade to a MUSHKIN XP Samsung UCCC PC4000 2GB Kit (2x1024Mb) to match up with my X2 4400+. Will this ram run well on the MSI Neo2?
the highest OC'ed UCCC on neo2 was ddr550
mine memtest stable at ddr520, but cant prime/superpi stable
probably my winnie have crappy mem controller :(
but yeah ,pc4000 2gb's will work at rated speed
I just tryed too run all 4 of the corsair 512mb pc4000 in my mobo and all I get is long beeps, I reset the cmos and it does the same thing, pull two of them out and then it boots just fine, any idea why I can't run four sticks of ram?

hi ppl...
i've been using a Neo2 Plat for almost a year now.. and currently have some prob with it. My ram slot 2 had a contact broke off, and i'm now using slots 3 &4.
sys. spec:
Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester LBBID 0509CPJW
2 x 1GB Infineon BE-5 DDR400 Rams

MSI Neo2 Plat BIOS v1.9
settings are: Vcore 1.45v+3.3%
Vdimm = 2.7v
Ram timings = 3-3-2-7 in bios

I'll get a hardlock whenever i try 234Mhz or above with the settings above.. any ideas to improve this?
Here is a update on my rig, the only way I can run all four corsair 512 sticks is too choose 2T in ram settings, as for JSN, you need to contact MSI and have that board RMA before the warranty runs out, I just did mine not too long ago its easy, Fill out the online form and MSI will send you a rma number, goodluck. you don't need the recepit. http://www.msicomputer.com/support/CustomerS.asp
One more thing, did you lower your HT to 4 instead of 5
coop
well, i've tempered a little with it so i dont think it can be rma'ed?
HT is set to 4... i guess its the weak slot 3 n 4 that hinder me here.
:update:
motherboard is returned to the factory..(rma)
the motherboard should bout WITH an opteron cpu...
and mine wouldn't do that...
