How do you think?

It's only 67 pages of experience with this board. :D

I wish I had another A64 just to test and see what I can do. None of my friends have A64. They are still on 32-bit. Although I am going to put my old 2500+ Barton syetem back together and see what I can get out of it.

Only problem I have had so far is if I set the VDIMM too high for my +3.3 rail.

Gotta have it at 3.6 to get 3.3 (set to 3.2 in bios) to mem for me.. 3.3 @ 3.5 with bios set to 3.3 upsets the bios and mem defaults to 2.56v for some reason.

Depending on your ram shouldnt be a problem, but for ram that loves volts it was annoying to find.. why it cant just set to max available when going too far isntead of dropping to default?

Is your cpu voltage set to auto, mine does that when cpu voltage is set to auto, 3.1 = 3.1 for me but 3.2 = 2.5. Changed it from auto to 1.5v and your mem voltage should rise.

Yeah this thread has grown to be useful for many people. And we have even started many off-threads concerning memory especially Rev 2 with the DFI:D

I got a quick question...I want to know what CPU is the best one to get for this board that is performing the best. I am going to buy another A64 and through the one I have my old MSI board with that system together. And get another A64 for this board. I want better overclocking abilities. I was looking at a 3200+ ClawHammer DTR for $208.00. Or would the 3000+ maybe clock better. I just ordered my a XP-120 for my DFI system and I plan to throw my Zalman on my old system with my 1GB of RAM. I would have me two nice machines then. I plan to sell my old 2500+ Barton to my friend for about $90 because it is a damn good version of it. Let me know if that would be worth getting or if anyone knows where I can find a really good A64.

Ouch ... I was looking for the answer through the mountain of pages, but my 56K modem said no way. I see it has been mentioned already .... why can't I boot when I use a CPU multiplier of 9 ? I get a detecting RAID array error and then it reboots. Over and over. I'm using IDE drives and no RAID. I can use 8x multi and 10x multi but no 9. I've been up to 305 FSB with 8x. Please help.

mine workd fine @ 9.

11-10-2004, 11:38 PM

Are you using 2 sticks or one. alot of people are only able to use the 9 multi with just one stick and 2 sticks is a no go. For me, I cant use the 9 multi at all with my twinmoss 3700 but I can run it all day with my 2 sticks of hyperX

8-11x with 2 sticks of eb3700 has worked fine for me.

I guess it all depends on the ram then.

I am using 2x512 of Mushkin Lvl 2 ;).. But since this is a 24/7 machine, I don't think I will be running over 3.1-3.2v anyway.

mmm my 9x multi problem is with 1 stick of PQI Turbo Sammy TCCD. I will give it a bash with my OCZ3700EB and see, but that won't solve it as I need to do it with my PQI i.e. my PQI's can get to 300 MHz but neither of my EB's will do more than 265 :(

Wow, that's really nice!!
2x512 and 300HTT 1:1, Prime stable...that's the way i like it.
How bout 9x300?
I think the later 3400+ NewCastle's will do 2,7GHz easily?

Is it 100% errorfree in memtest?

edit: Just broke the 70 page barrier! :banana:

yes but i have some problems with multi 9!
perhaps a bug. i have allways bluescreens ...

I look for an answer ;)

That must be the first time ever on A64 with 2X512 at 300 htt. Would you mind post a sandra score or even better, run lobby high on 3d01 and post the results. Or is that 2T?

And can someome please tell me if a 3200+ DTR would actually clock better than a 3000+ DTR. CG Stepping of course.
