If you give a till tonight I will try and put something together for you. I am at works so I really dont have the time to work on it. Sorry! But I will try and help you later.

Now I have not used the new dividers so I dont know how they work. I would just stick to the regular dividers. Now I can tell you this-- my X2 didnt like 1:1 divider (200) with my Gskills. I had to use the 180 divider so thats the only thing I can give you for now. Oh and make sure your LDT is set to 3x. Now sometimes you may need to give your ram a little more volts to get them to work for you.

Why dont you do this put your ram on the 100 divider and see how high you can get your chip to run. This whole thing could be caused by the ram.. I found this in most cases of limited oc's.

ok :D

OK, I have never worked this out, what is the PWMIC????

Yan

Well here are my results so far - i am still burning and pushing but so far so good. I will post my bios settings in the official x2 stable settings thread but here is a screen shot ;)

280x10 using the 9/10 divider dual prime stable for over 7 hours

edit - IHS is still on

here are my results so far with a 2x 3800+ and stock heatsink and vcore( I am waiting for my prommie to be modded)

2600mhz @ 1.52v vcore; hiccuped a bit with SP2004 @ 1.41v vcore. Just got my new 120x3 BIX in, so going to hook that up soon and then sink the PWMIC as-per njkid's suggestion ;)

Very nice results you have there. How are your temps at this speed with that much juice being pumped.

idle 31~32c full load during dual prime was 41~42c - i am using a good water setup !!

What kinda water? No one's getting those temps without phase...... How 'bout a screenie? :)

Thats on a good water setup! They are pretty normal temps for what he has.

its all in my sig but here are the full details:

swiftec storm
2x mcp650 pumps
2x danger den maze4 low pro
2x 77' bonneville heater core's
2x papst 6424h 172mm 24v axial fans that pull 280+cfm at 24v

the pumps, fans and rads are in an external box below my cm stacker and the papst fans are running 12v (obviously) at full speed and when i need quiet i dial them down a bit..

and in that picture i posted of the dual prime off to the right i have everest open and it shows all of my temps!!

Call it what you like, but that's NOT "pretty normal temps"...

yeah they are...it's not -40c. Mine is currently idling at 24c, and loading at avbout 43c, on air. Perfectly normal.

Not true. A cather g4 or g5 or a swiftech g4 will get you there. My G5 is in that temp neighborhood also on plain water, albeit high end water..

well i have been able to get 280x10 1:1 now - my ocz 4200plat tcc5 just needed a bit more vdimm to make my memory controller happy in windows...

the ram is now @ 2.9v and all my timings are the same - just 1:1 now instead of the 9/10 divider....

so close yet so far from my dream goal of 300x10 1:1

For a 3800 X2 that is pretty good.

My X2 has one core thatll do 2.8 and one that will do 2.7, so 2.7 it is, though it need 1.6v to get there. Seems like a lot of the 3800 are doing very well

It seems to me that when the cores are very imbalanced like that, it may be a result of the IHS. Have you considered removing it? (i am assuming you still have it on).

This is what I got. :)

The difference between my cores is 50 Mhz. Core 0 does 2880 and core 1 does 2920@1.65. I am doing a burn-in now saw hopefully I can drop the vcore a bit and gain a little more on core 0.

Hi guys, I just got a x2 4400+ today, and I'm having some trouble with my timings, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out, I have OCZ EL Gold 4400 and my info on my cpu is :
ADA4400DAA6CD CCBWE 0523VPMW

I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me with my timings

@1.55 vcore

I've gotten my 4400 up to about 2.6 using 3-4-4-8 timings, gonna see if I can cut down on it at all, also memvolt is 2.85, I'm currently trying to get my vcore higher but I can't seem to, also idling around 24-25C :)

hey. got my x2 3800 from monarch yesterday and i've been running @ 10x2800 2x superpi 32mb stable. i took this ssss (semi suicide screen shot) a couple minutes ago @ 10x290. the 12v is being reported wrong on the ite smart guardian, fluctuating wildly between 11.71 and 11.91. bios, mbm and my dmm read it at between 12.18 and 12.22v. when i get a better fan and/or get the chip burned in so i can use a lower vcore and/or get some watercooling i will go for 3gig. not too sure about popping off the ihs, but dont want to go any higher than 1.55v until i get better cooling. also, my 3dmark2001 score has dropped from 33k to 29k from when i had sandy @ 2800mhz, all else being exactly the same. is this normal, losing 3d performance i mean? my sandra and everest mem scores are the same, my sandra cpu score is about exactly 2x my sandy score, etc, etc. just 3dmark n/g.
