My chipset is always at v1.8 as well. I don't see any reason to lower it or raise it at all. I runs pretty cool even at v1.8. I really want to figure out how I can get higher bandwidth with a higher CPU clock. I have yet to find the right combo settings to make this work out right. I really need someone that has the DFI nF3, 3200+ C0, and a 1GB set of OCZ Plat Rev 2. So I have someone else to compare direct results with. If anyone knows anyone please refer them to here so I can get some help.
ugp, you oughta try 1.6 to the chipset. I think too much hinders your OC stability. Maybe the processor doesn't like it? I used to run mine @ 1.8 too, thinking more is better, but I don't think that's true here. I think that also applies to the AGP voltage, no diff in performance, so I just leave it @ 1.5. :) I kinda wonder if it affects the vid cards OCability tho. Might be a case of finding the best middle ground.
Playing around with my BH-6 and my trusty old 9800XT..
DFI LP uT NF3 with 10/05 Bios
3200+ CG @ 2650 Mhz (265x10)
1 256MB OCZ PC3200 Plat le (BH-6) @ 2-2-2-5 and 3.6V
Air cooled with XP90
OCZ Powerstream 420W Psu
ATI saphire Radeon 9800XT @ 440/392
Definately stable at these settings :toast:
those are really excellent scores
This is a good result, but it's only 256MB so I guess not enough.Quote:

i still dont know why i only can use dimm1, need 2 test some other ram.
though i felt my chipsetpassivecooling, it was smoking hot, i would burn myself if i hold there for like 8 seconds or so, it cant be good if its so hot??
For my rig I only lose 2-3MHz between 512 and 1GB. The highest stable speed of my pair of Kingston Hynix running together is 262MHz vs 265MHz when single (both 2.5-3-3 1T). Since my 3200+ CH max out at around 2.6 - 2.65GHz at 1.78V, they make a perfect match + happy system.
If I were to get faster memory it'd need to do at least 290MHz 2.5-3-3 1T(290x9=2610) otherwise it'd pointless. I've tried a pair of Corsair TWINX XL and while these crazy TCCD can do 300MHz 2.5-3-3 1T, it's single only good for benchmarkings. For 2 sticks the highest I tested was probably less than 290MHz (not very sure on this because not enough time to test). I didn't want to gamble and returned it to my friend. I did compare the difference and it's less than 1 sec in SuperPi. Plus that I didn't want the hassle of selling my pair of good Kingston Hynix so I keep it for now.
I'm with you on that. :toast:Quote:

well, since this is only a benching rig, I don't worry about how much ram it has.Quote:

But, I have found some Bugs still in the Bios that may cause trouble. On Mine, anytime I use ram made with winbond chips, if I change the FSB in Bios, It enables the Raid Controller and I have to do a reset to clear this. My Hynix based Ram does not do this though..
Which BIOS are you using?
I am using the 10/14 or 15? Bios with the 4V and memstat built in. But it did the same thing with the 9/14 Bios..Quote:

I tried clearing the bios (remove battry, change pins, etc.) and nothing different happened. I did verify my Fortron 530W in another system and it works fine.
Any suggestions ? Thanks all (I am disapointed.. been waiting 4 weeks to get this rig going and so begins the endless troubleshooting... )
EDIT: Got the mobile cpu working with a bios update and reset the Swiftech w/c block on her. Stable with 2x512MB 3700EB @ 2500Mhz : 3-3-2-8 and still working on her.
hey guys i just got this DTR3400 in and running and ill be dammed if i can't fint the 1T/2T setting in the bios. i heard that if its a CO stepping youl not have the selection it will defualt to 1T and if you have the CG stepping youl see the option to change it from either 1Tor 2T. i have a CG stepping but i dont see the darn setting? also whats the CPC setting for? that doesnt control the 1T/2T setting does it? im running the 9/15 4v v-dimm modded bios....
thx perc,
Its with all the ram timmings at the top. Thats what I gathered from the net as I have a co revision
Sure does. :) Enabled is 2t, disabled is 1t. I think CPC stands for command per clock.Quote:

Good luck. :) BTW, I was gonna find it for ya, but dang this is a long thread. :p: At least I eliminated 27 pages of reading for ya. :cool:Quote:

Very nice!
I can only prime 310 with low multi =(
Post some settings ?
I have seen an other dude do the same and he had TRC at 7 also.
yes prime run but i have some problems with 3dmark ...
my settings ...
http://mitglied.lycos.de/siedl/8x310...weaker_512.jpg
Try TREF 166 3.x us or 7.x us
I also get lockups in 3dmark on some settings, dont really know what it depends on.
I think it's the opposite? Enable CPC = 1T and disable = 2T!Quote:
