it is everest ver 1.51 :D should I use the newest?
I can't seem to overclock my msi neo 2/venice 3200 past 2300..as soon as i hit 2300 the pc reboots (using clockgen)
settings
agressive timings Dis
dynamic overclock Dis
HTT3
Cool n Quite disabled
CPU ratio x10
FSB 225
AGP 67
CPU vid 1.45v
CPU volt By CPU VID
mem voly auto
agp 1.5v
mem clock auto
mem timings 1T
ive tried changing the HTT to 4 and that doesnt make a difference and tried dropping the CPU ration to x9 but still as soon as i reach 2300 pc reboots.
I have 1 gig value corsair 2.5 cas
Anyone got any ideas why?
yes always better to use the newest version. I edited my last post with somethings about IRQs. Its possible that a sound card can cause irq conflits as well to fix that you can change the pci latency setting using something like powerstrip.
Tripod try ralaxing your ram timings and using 2t command then raise the fsb and run prime 95 to see if the cpu is stable. That way you can find the cpu limits rather than memory. Use 4x HTT and the 166 ram divider doesnt work well at all so set it to 200 or 133.
Excellent, thanks mate..I new it would be something simple,I searched for ages in the forums, perhaphs i didnt understand all the lingo and what to change its upto 2600 now...and im sure there is room for more.Quote:

Btw, got my board rock solid at 308HTT :clap: And ram @ 238, 2.5-3-3-6 which gives me 7000/6900 in SiSoft Sandra, so im happy :)
Hey, is there a bios that lets you put in the full list of ram timings? I'm using 1.36b and I hate having to open up a64 tweaker to put in my timings after every reboot.
I'm using onboard sound :DQuote:

click in hardware resources where? windows control panel?Quote:
Click hardware Resources then IRQS. It will show you if devices are sharing an IRQ
Right click my computer > manage > device manager > View > resources by type > Expand interupt request
made a picture for you showing where it is http://www.swjka.com/pic.jpgQuote:

A great sytem monitor tool is being made by the wizzard who was the brains behind the ATI softmods.

It reads the +12 volt line correctly like the bios shows it. Speedfan and mbm show a higher reading than it is with the neo 2. It also has the functions of a64 tweaker and nforce3 tweaker, ATi and nvidia overclocking, HDD acoustic management and some benchmarking. :clap: :clap:
Rocks hard
thanx, but it says all OK......ah just forget it :D until next time I get bsodQuote:

can ocz ddr booster works with this mobo at 3.6~3.8V rock stable?
@mustrum, wasn't there a GPU hardware monitor? but I don't know if AGP voltage could help RAM or Chipset more stable as spoken by some people
GPU hardwaremonitor shows temperatures, chip clocks and GPU voltage - not AGP voltage though.Quote:

I finally flashed my bios (to 1.36 modded) aand it has helped alot. I am running at 280 FSB x 9 and it seems stable so far. I am itching to get some better ram, the 3 sticks of corsair don't get along very well. They didn't in my previous board (NF7-S) either; 2x256 (434mhz) and 1x512 (500). In this board with all in various different ram banks and running on a 133 ram divider it will not even post. This is with very relaxed timings. I think it is not so much the boards fault because the 500mhz stick wouldn't run above ~ 200mhz with the other two in my Abit. Could this 512 stick be a BH5? Its about a year old....

Athlon 64 memory controller ussually works better with just 2 memory modules that are single sided and matched. 256mb sticks generally clock to higher fsb than 512mb.
So you don't match ram slot colors with this board? Thats weird because it says clearly on the board that Channel A is one color and Channel B is the other. If slot 1 & 2 is best has anyone even tried pairing ram in matching colored slots ie 1 & 3?
I did vio mod, now 3.6v stable vdim but only 237mhz out of BH-5 so far. I need to figure out what the problem is.
I've never tried 1&3, just 1&2, runs just fine, 8x325 (2.6ghz) on a winnie 3000+ with the divider @ 166---> memory @ 260, sandra reports >7000mb/s mem speed :)Quote:

Yes when i first got the board i put them in slot 1 and 3 like you would on a nforce 2 but it set single channel. So i use 1 and 2 but may try 3 and 4 at some point.
Just tried the 1.36b bios with my sandy and it didnt like it at all :p wouldnt boot windows at 290htt so im back to 1.8 which is stable at 290 +
I use Crucial ballistix anyone got any tips on best bios or best memory settings for them?
