I am limited to a bix3 and Swiftech MCR320 for choices and apparently they both require high CFM fans to perform well. I would loave a PA100.3 but they are nowheres to be found in Canada :confused:
Yup.Quote:

I am very confused.
Did you try 1.55v?
All I can think of is that they both fail but 1 is stronger than 0 and when you up the voltage to 1.525 the last one is stands. I would try 1.55v to see if it stabilizes. Also can you tell if your voltages fluxuate when it fails?
I replaced my Antec PSU with a Seasonic and gained 100Mhz in the process.
Voltage doesnt fluctuate, I am using a PC P&C 510 sli psu and have confirmed with a dmm. At 1.5V core 1 fails around 6-7 minutes but at voltages above (just tried 1.55V) core 0 fails at around 2 minutes. Any tips???
Very interesting, perhaps the memory controller is faulting at those temps or speed. How are the temps when you do this? Is it possible the memory settings could be tweaked or loosened? or finally someo other limitation (board of chipset) This is definately an interestion situation though.Quote:

Well I decided that I am going to stay at 2.95Ghz w/ 1.475V for 24/7 since that is pretty darn good. I will still try things to stabilize 3Ghz still but for 24/7 I just cant justify a .075V increase so I will just stick with 2.95Ghz. If I end up stabilizing 3Ghz at a lower voltage I may just change my tune though. :D
Yeah! well thats a pretty darned sweet overclock imo.Quote:

Perhaps after some extended use at this setting it will let you reach 3Ghz.
My crappy 0546 would not see 2.6 at first now after some extended use it seems to prime stable. (although its still a crappy chip :rolleyes: )
ok, i cant get my CCBBE 2.8 stable at anything less then 1.475v. i've tried the following:
dropping my divider to 1/2
mem = 3-4-4-8 @ 2.7v
trfc = 18
drive strengths 7/3
MAL/Preamble = auto
i know this is a really noobish post, but dammit.....whats up with my chip??
What are your prime temps topping out at with 1.475v? With warmer weather here alot of us just may not see 2.8ghz-3ghz till winter since these chips pass/fail prime with the slightest increase in temps after a certain point. I can loop 3DMark06 overnight or play quake all weekend with 1.45vcore @ 3ghz but prime fails no matter what volts I use instantly.Quote:

2.8 @ 1.475v
2.85 @ 1.55v
ive even tried different BIOS' and i set my fans to 100% once temps hit +35c
Your chip seems like mine but my chip starts to scale horribly at 2.95Ghz.Quote:

I wonder why there are such sharp cutoffs.
*sigh*
I'm starting to think it may be something with your settings too. Those are awesome prime load temps. Mine are around 51'c. We have the same steppings on our 170's and I reach 2.8ghz @ 1.4vcore 51'c prime stable. Do you happen to have a 1 gig kit of memory left? Maybe TCCD or BH-5? BH-5 I found was easier to setup than TCCD based modules.Quote:

2925@1.35
3000@1.425
3050@1.475
3100@1.525
Starting to see a pattern? It's been like that for all my opties
Ok I put in 1 set of the DDR400-DDR533 Patriot which is TCCD I am currently running at 1.35v 280x10 DDR voltages set at auto as well as all timings this is what CPU-Z is telling me on memory 3-5-5-10 15 16 1T......won't run super_pi though so not sure if not enough voltages to memory or at this rate do I need to use 2T?
Also in Central Brain ID it is going crazy under the Mobility tab saying Current 2799.92 then flips to -505.28 then to 6105.42....What is this thing doing?
Any ideas?
i use GSkill HZ's which are UCCC. i had AndreYang who is an XIP at this site help me with BIOS settings so i believe they are good.Quote:

Set your memory divider to 150. Drop the voltage to 2.6v. Set the timings to 3-4-4-8 or 3-4-3-8. I have my TRC and TRFC set to 7 and 14 currently. TRRD, TRWT, TWR, and TWTR are set to 2-3-2-2 respectively. I use the drive strength values of 7 and 3 as well. I would suggest playing with those and try increasing them to see if it it improves stability any more. Try setting your MAL/Preamble to 9.0ns and 6.5ns. Leave Idle cycle limit set at 256 cycles and enable Dynamic counter. That SHOULD take care of your memory issue if you have one. Make sure you run Windows Memtest (two iterations 800MB+ each) for 1,000%+ to make sure you're not getting memory errors.Quote:

:stick:
thanks,im gonna try that now. i actually had everything set the same except for Idle Cycle Limit,MAL/Preamble settings, and DRAM voltage.Quote:

and

think these will overclock well? :P
