i just bought an X2 3800+ and have some questions...
Right now i hit 2.5Ghz wih stock cooling and CORSAIR XMS 3200C2PRO v4.3
i have cpu voltage: 1.475 and ddr at: 3.0
anyone have some ideas?
can i go more?
voltage to much?
thanks...

Try some stress programs SP2004 (dual) and U will see if it is stable or not...if it is stable try to lower the CPU voltage....For the ram I have no idea, cause don`t know what chips ar on them...Quote:

My old X2 needed 1.6v for 2.55ghz stable, which was a bit rubbish. Hopefully this will like low volts more though. It's suprisingly cold running too, 31c under dual prime @ 2.2ghz, with my WC. my old one was about 33-34c, so it's a lot cooler.Quote:

Lower your Vcore to 1.45v in bios which should give you actual ~ 1.38Vcore in windows, it 'should' be 100% stable if its a good chipQuote:

if i scale t 260 or 270 what vcore and ddr voltage should i use?
any other voltages has to be changed? pciex vtt etc?
PS: do i need some drivers for the CPU? i instaled windows but no drivers for it.Are the ones windows installed automaticaly good?
thanks
Try it @ 2.5 first with 1.45 Vcore in bios befaore you start trying for 280, walk before you run :)Quote:

yes it's abit an8 ultra...
i'm right now at 2.5 with 1.45 vcore and 2.9 vddr
i have.6.67
OK now you see if it is even half stable, do a few 16M, then if possible 32M Super Pi runsQuote:

For the best advice regarding the Abit AN8 the best person to talk to IMHO is Dinoss22 who you will find @ i4memory and also some expert memory advice :)
2.2ghz prime stable for 12 hours with 1.26v
moving to 2.3ghz.
anyone can tell me what's the safest voltage i can go on my X2 3800 because i think mine is dead... :confused:
i ran 1.85v thru my old one, no troubles. I guess it depends on cooling.
btw
2.4ghz Prime Stable @ 1.26v
Moving to 2.5ghz....this chip feels special. How many other people can get and keep volts this low?
Been slowly tweaking my X2 3800 (CCBBWE 0528)
Right now i'm at 2.7Ghz with 1.584 vcore fully game and bench stable.
One of my cores is really terrible and constantly fails SP while the other will go on forever. I have started to burn it in and it seems to be getting better.
Hi there fellows,
I'm with X2 4400+, running (24/7) on a DFI DLI-DR @ 2500MHz@1.24v, stock cooling and without and thermal grease...I'm waiting for my Prommy to arrive...
Anyway, I would like to ask you guys which is the bios bios available for these cpu's right now?....
I know it's one of those silly questions, but I would like to have a couple of opinions because I've been away for the last 2 months and I'm out of context already...eheheh
BTW: my mems are GsKill PC4800LA...they run @ 2,5-3-3-5-1T@2,6v@290MHz...
Thankx for the support
704-2BTA is the best.
is the 702/704 (DFI LanParty nF4) a beta yet/now?
Thanks,
Yan
What makes it better than any of the others?Quote:

510-2 gives me the best 3dmark performance, u guys might wanna try that against the 704BT version. Btw, I was able to repeat this several times with my sandy and my 4400.
anyone here able to get their X2 and 2X1GB Memory to run 1:1 above 250? Id love to know your secrets cuz i cant even get it to run 1:1 at 240 and this is with Crucial Ballistix. What a waste having to run this great memory at 216Mhz...
Hi,
i still can not find out the correlation between the stepping and overclockability of an X2 3800 Processor. :(
How can i figure out, how good or bad some X2 3800 is oc'able? Have I watch out for the stepping, the production date or is it the batch code? What decides?
I can get one of these X2 3800.
No 1: CDBHE 0535SPMW
No 2: CDBHE 0535RPAW
Which one should I take? Unfortunately I can not test them, before buying them. Both owners can not make any declaration about overclockability.
I am looking for a model, what will run stable at 2500 MHz speed at VCore of 1,40 Volts (better 1,35 VCore), because I will run it at air cooling (Sonic Tower with fan).
Could anyone give a advice, which of the both processors would be a better overcklocker? Or shoud I take none of both and look for an other stepping? But what a stepping? :confused:
Thanks for answers in advance.

check out the 2x1 gig oc database man, it's a sticky, myself, I can run 290-300 on the ram. that was using dfi ultra-d board and everything else in my sig. try setting everything to auto for the ram.Quote:

Anything below 1,55V is stable but at 1,56V it jumps like described...This makes my CPU unstable usually after 10 minutes of dual SP2004 the VCORE starts to jump and I get an error after a minute or two of this...Is it the PSU problem or sth else? I have got an venice 3000+ and a SD 3700+ both OCed to 2,7ghz and above but I haven`t got this kind of problems...This problems starts when I make my water cooling and attached to the 12V 3x80mm fans, 1x92mm fan and 2x120mm fans...

p.s. First I thought it was my MOBO but after sent on RMA 2-times (2 different services) I have received the answer that was all OK and it OCs normally...

Pity my 4800 dont like the 9 multi, would have pushed the mem a little further.
my x2 is currently primng 2650mhz 1.31v.
Very very nice chip i've got here. Thought it was starting to crap out, as it wasn't passing Prime Large FFT's, turned out my RAM is not as stable as i thought.
