thats a huge amount of vcore.. especially for a dual core... but hey if you think the cooling @ 16* is safe.. good results
Thank you :)
1.81V only gave me the required stability to pass over 3.2GHz but the improvement within the interval of let say 1.70-1.80V was very poor...
Here's my config:Quote:

Here's what I've been able to get from it:
I've been able to reach 2.3GHz by changing only the FSB to 209. (209*11)
I've been able to reach 2.4GHz by rising the Vcore to 1.325 (stock is 1.300), with the FSB at 218. (218*11)
I've been able to reach 2.5GHz with Vcore at 1.375 and FSB at 227. (227*11)
I've been able to reach 2.6GHz with a Vcore of 1.475 and FSB of 236. (236*11)
And I'm presently testing 2.7GHz with 1.525 for the Vcore & 246 FSB. (246*11) But I'm experiency some stability issue.
Please note that I'm using the stock cooling. At 2.7GHz, maximum CPU usage, the temperature does not go higher than 43 celcius degrees (fan at full speed). In all cases, I left the LDT multiplier to 5x.
You can also take a look at Knob's overclocking here -> http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y27...i/ff687ec0.jpg , I'm trying to equal it.

If this is so, this scares me to OC these dual cores, haha... as much as I do it as a hobby, I'm hoping to at least use it for a while.
delete, sorrry, accidental post on wrong thread(opened too many tabs)
Try LDT at 4x. Or up the LDT voltage (can you, on an Ultra-D?).Quote:

i notice that at this vcore max i can get stable is
244*11 = 2684
254*10.5=2667
270*10=2700 this is the 1 i use
305*9= 2745
max stable around the vcore you mention(1.4625 bios setting) for me is :
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...9CineBench.jpg
i can bench at this level but temp is too high for my liking to use 24/7
so if u board dont mind above 300 fsb and since u got good ram u should try X9 with a divider on ur ram.
Config :
Athlon A64 X2 4400+ aircooling : XP90c/NBse2
PSU : Seasonic s12 500w
Mb : Asus A8n-sli premium
Ram : Corsair 2*1go
you definetly need to drop the ldt multi to 3x. You want to keep the ldt at 1800-2000 at the most.Quote:

I think FSB x LDT x 2 = HTT would be the good equation.Quote:

Yesterday late I tried 10*270 with LDT multiplier at 3 and a Vcore of 1.55 and I got instability after 5 minutes using Prime95. I'll try a couple other setting I have in mind.
Has for the guy who's using 10*270, try priming your system, SuperPI is nothing compare to Prime95, I can boot windows and pass SuperPI with 1.45 but Battlefield 2 will crash instantly.
Anyways, see you guys in a couple of hours!
it is stable at evrerything i post superpi32 cuz its the image i had from an OC validation post i can prim for ever at that speed iam telling you its stable it is my 24/7 config ill post a night long prim95 just for youQuote:

I tried 11*246, LDT multi 4 with Vcore at 1.55, it didn't worked.
Tried 10*270, LDT 3 with Vcore 1.55, didn't worked. It seems that every settings I'm using to get to 2.7GHz, 1.55 Vcore is the most stable I can get, if I try more voltage, the temperature of the CPU is rising super fast. @ Vcore 1.55 temps is 50 celcius max. @ Vcore 1.57, temps are going higher than 60 celcius, Max temp of an 4400+ is 65 celcius, so I won't try higher voltage until I switch my cooling. I use the stock cooling presently.
I also tried 11*246, Vcore 1.525, LDT x5 with LDT voltage 1.3, did'nt worked, 11*246, vcore 1.525, LDT x4 LDT volatage 1.3, didn't worked.
I'm sure I can reach 2.7 stable, in one of the config I've just mentioned (don't remember which one), the priming test failed after 22 minutes. That's a great news, since all the older settings where giving me a fail test in less than one minute.
@ mario bros Thanks for the info m8

I just dont use it as a day to day settings cuz i dont have the proper ram divider in my bios to make it worth while. for info if i want to be stable @245*11 i need to put vcore @1.45(bios settings) so X10 and X9 are much better multiplier
and as for 270*10 here is your proof :

Dual Prime coming ;)
dude u need 2 instances of SP2004 to stress test your CPU...
right now you X2 is only @ 50% usage....
right ;) 2 instances will stress 100% of the CPU with affinity enable or not; check thisQuote:

So last night, someone argued that I should use my Ballistix Z503 and I agreed. Swapped it in, loaded optimised defaults, rebooted, changed HTT to 250 and drive strength to 3, left everything else auto, rebooted to memtest. It passed; the Z503 came up 3-3-3-8 at DDR500 @ 2.61v. Booted Windows, ran dual SP2004 for an hour til I got bored. The weird thing is the vcore - how about 1.328v (stock is 1.35v)? Is this true love between mem controller and RAM or wot? I'm really shocked at the difference.
The other weirdness is that the system "felt" smoother. I don't know how to quantify it; it just felt "nice" instead of "alright". Maybe this is simply a sweet spot for the combination but it was surprising how different it felt. It's got something to do with stuff working in harmony or something.
Does anyone know why my multiplier is showing up as 9.5 instead of 10 with an X2 3800+ E6?
No idea but looking at your sig and seeing that loathsome name ecs may have something to do with it :stick:Quote:

Depends how far you want to OC, the Anus for moderate OC or DFI for killer OC's without the nanny bios features that the Anus boards are notorious for :rolleyes:Quote:

the keys are so far apart, that must have been on purpose?
Help !!!!!!
I think i know the answer but I would like your opinions,...
3800+ x2, An8 Fatal1ty Sli, ocz pc4000 platinium.
v.core 1.45, chip 1.5v, ht 1.3v, ram 2.75v
dropped htt to x3, loosened timings to 3,4,4,8. can't get this mother above 240Mhz FSB.
CPU is a ADA3800daa5bv, BH-E4.
My gut feeling is the Mobo is not upto the rest of the kit.
Rather than look at best, what should i be able to get minimum out of :
CPU, Mem is ddr500, mobo (Hmm)
Thanks in advance for your replies.
