Skt 939 is way different than Skt 754...
And PCI-E is very much different over AGP...does the PCI-E Bus speed do anything set other than to 100MHz?
Have any of you guys received a good 3700+ from newegg Nj warehouse?
Ok trying this...my Windows XP Install just got corrupted some how...
I am trying this...
250x11.0 @ 1.500 + 113%
LDT @ v1.4
Chipset @ v1.6
DRAM @ v2.90
1:1 Divider
Timings:
2.5-3-3-6-1T
HT Multi /Auto or 3x (3x is save up over 300+)
What exactly is the HT good for...and how does it affect overclocks and peformance?
Need a bios recomendation for 3700+ DFI Ultra-D, with OCZ VX and Vapo LS.
Should I Take 6.23-2 since I have Vx memmory. Or one of the 510?
Thanks!
it causes instability i cant say which error/BSOD u will get....Quote:

I gave up for now and am just sitting at stock clocks...
When I get more time off from work I will sit and play with it alittle..
What are the tightest timings OCZ Plat Rev 2 can handle at DDR400...I know it is 2-2-2-5 but the other settings...does anyone have a quick reference chart...?
yep as he says 623-2 is good as any.running just nice here with my setup, same as yours but im just watercooling.was thinking going vapo again but CBA atm.Quote:

just got a new 0522XPBW
first 22 i've seen so far...
results are looking very dismal at the moment...
won't do 2.5 ghz @ stock voltage 1M superpi without a voltage increase...
hmmm... kinda sad... was hoping for 2.8 with 1.5 to 1.6 volts...
how stable is that max o/c? 1m superpi doesnt mean jack. ;)Quote:

Good job he showed a 32mb pi run and not 1mb then :)

:p sorry mate had to do that. ;)
so babyelf again I ask can you show us the max 32M superpi overclock, interested.
still @ it.. will post when i have it :)

I hope my chip does that!"..."But is it Prime stable?"..."What's the default multiplier on that again?"...Where did you buy it?"..."Is it worth it?"
The point of this thread is for all other discussions with regard to the overclocks in the "official" thread. A lot of forum members like to get straight to the point with the screenshots without having to sift through a mile of smileys and other posts."
gotta love how people like to :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: on other peoples acchievements to. Then they wonder why no one helps them.....
no one is :banana::banana::banana::banana:ting on other's achievements here.. ur record is great.. and i totally respect that.. but if u're gonna come in and insult people about whether they can or can not read... now that is another thing... like i say we are here for the fun of it..
and before editing i said i did not post it on the oc thread yet because i haven't got my max overclock.. if that isn't allowed here then please.. point me to another thread that will let me post my stepping and progress on overclocking my SD
nothing against ur record again.. they are truly remarkable.. just please please don't come in and say people can't read or something like that.. it's not nice and sometimes offensive.. if u would have said "i think this belongs to another place or something" people would have just gone oops or something.. hope i get this msg thru in a nice way
No offense intended. I didn't say anyone could't read just said some people to lazy to read through all the pages. In fact i do it myself.its like a comic book most people look at the pics first read the bubbles later :PQuote:

Now - On to something actually relating to our topic. (This post is part of the testing plan, you know the part where you talk about what is happening and jinx it? This is a a test to see if that happens :hehe: )
First of all do most peeps find they have to boost Vchip and Vldt when switching to a Sandie from a previous chip? 2 Sandies and 2 DFIs gimme same requirements ????
Pissed @ 3700 SD 0517 XPMW - wont do over 2750 for ANYTHING - Life is tough.
So when going gets tough - the tough go shopping ! :D
Got a new 0517 UPBW from my favorite place markonecomputers (just good luck for me from there, gotten all my best CPUs there :shrug: )
Added new Papst 150mm pulling air thru my PA160 w/ G5 mounted :eek: Fan is only @ 5V so sound is okay ( still quieter than my wife's puter for now ) (Now I need better pump - never done)
Seems I have problems getting to 2800 -2900 (280/290x10 or 311+ x9 don't seem to get memtest stable even - think it is something to do w/ TREF (:mad: )
9 x 300 is not a problem.
:idea: 10 x 300! (~ 1.6 Vcore, 2.8 Vdimm) Hmmm memtest is fine @ 2.5-4-3-7, :brick: Let's try w/ 2.5-3-3-7 ! :hrhr:
Ran memtest all night (#5) okay, #8 for a couple of hours and 7 full passes - no errors. memtest BW = 3006
1 error in goldmemory Quicktest BW = 3579, error in first pass, no errors for next 2 passes.\
Now to try windows and see if I get to stay anywhere near this :shrug:
Wish me luck :up:
has anyone expirienced a cold bug yet? ive seen that guy on ln2 but what about a -100c cascade?
or a -50c single phasechange?

Nothing I do as far as overclock is 100% stable. I really give up...I don't think I am finding the right BIOS...There are way too many of them out there right now..
I got a SD 3700+ CABGE 0516 WPMW Retail on a ThermalRight XP120 from Newegg and the max i can get is 10 x 276HTT (2.76Ghz @1.65v) stable on a Epox 9NDA3j with latest BIOS. I have isolated memory problems and even burned in my CPU before attempting to overclock it and still no good results. Temps are well under 60C It won't go any higher at any multiplier or voltages. When i attempt to clock it 2.77Ghz - 2.85Ghz my games will crash to desktop or BSOD. At 2.9Ghz it will POST but can't boot into windows. I suspect either i got a bad stepping or my motherboard is holding my CPU back for some unknown reason. I have seen results with my same steppings with 2.8Ghz + from 2 people i think on this forum or AOA forum. With my Winnie 3000+ i could maxed out my CPU limits at 9 x 291HTT (2.62Ghz @ 1.65v) If i lowered my multiplier i can do up to 310HTT stable. Now with SD i cannot use high HTT with lower multipliers. Seems like it doesn't like it.Quote:

rev.E6 has some problems i read....
but epoxn isnt good no support and no new bios like u said but if u look for the dfi or msi there are lots.....
maybe ur memory didnt get good clocks because the mem.controller has tighten look @ some wichester/venice scores @ stock u ll see the improvment in sandra or 3d01 or whatever, but i also got a sd and a venice and they both work sweet.
i cant believe that ugp gives up as i came here bout 1 year ago i read his threads with attention because he still very good overclocker i was very impressed and now....., so come on dont be fool and show us your hardcore oc ;) still think something is holding ya back and u ll find that soOn ;)
seEn
Man I can't find it man...it is weird...because I will change a few settings and try something and then go back to something else I know booted and it won't...it doesn't make since....and at 2.5GHz Windows take a bit of time to load because something has to be off with the memory timings...So I really don't know...
Can someone post me there exact settings they are using as far as voltage on everything and memory timings....please and what BIOS you are using so I can go by reference...I mean I see all these settings but they are bits and pieces everywhere and it is hard to gather what is being used on the same clocks.
Also does anyone know what th Pay Load size is in the BIOS for PCI-E?? No one answered me before...
hey last questions pay load:
Its the packet size for data streams sent through the PCI-E bus.... so set it as high as possible.
had ya used some other cpus on your lanparty? because i saw i thread some time ago that some even cant perform anything on overclocking i thought maybe ure in badluck and got such one? dont ya?
well i will get my bench rig runnin but its late here 2.22 am but i ll post all my settings here and share it with you could take some time... :)

Just finished up a phase change session to test out my new gas charge and my 3700+ SD. The result is 3.3ghz at 1.77V with an evap temp of -48.6C loaded. I was about 20 minutes into 32M superpi and saw condensation so I shut it off for a while. Here are some screen shots.
here are my bios settings.

if it helps i can post my ram settings too but i use old bh-5 ones but i also have tccd which are crap for my san diego!

I really need someone with some TCCD to help me out here...I believe it is my RAM holding me back...I know this RAM does DDR500 @ 2.5-3-3-0 because I was doing that on my old DFI nF3 250Gb 24/7 but this motherboard doesn't like TRAS of 0
EDIT:
Ok this is what I have done...I have made a little data sheet and I am going to mark down all my settings and post them with scores....what I can't seem to get stable is Prime95...max I have been able to is is alittle over 2 Hours....
indeed my old bh-5 did 1,5-2-1-0 270-280!!!! on the nforce3 Lanparty S754 but here on Nforce4 i can only get 1,5-2-2-2(higher) 1,5-2-2-0 is a no goodQuote:

Care to share ur experience in oc-ing it ? I dunno whether i shld get it or not...since there is a high possibility of a bad cpu (many bad feedback on 0522)
Where have you seen bad feedback on xpmw ??
Not bad feedback on xpmw...juz bad feedback on 0522...read my post again...anyway u using 0522xpmw ? is it gd for oc? how high can it reach ?Quote:

Ur steppings and vcore ?Quote:

Mine is stable in benchies to 2.9(sisoft arithmetic) but around 2.8-2.85 for everything else. I am prime 95 stable for 24 hours at 2.71 and I have my memory running at 246 now instead of 270x10. My memory is now failing memtest after 2-3 passes at 265. I just started running a new bios and this is the result. I think there will be some improvement with the new bios, but my memory is really holding me back. It is not stable at all at 1t timing. I think it is a bios problem for memory timings. I am using 1.80. I tried the modded bios with 1t but it was very unstable for my hynix memory. DDR booster is at 3.4 volts. I did have a pretty stable overclock with 1 t timing using 1.37b, but I like the new bios better for overclocks. I don't need more than 1.6 vcore anyways....
Zxlr8, if you upgrade cooling I'll bet you can get at least 2.8ghz prime stable. And maybe 2.93-2.95 bench stable.
Yeah I guess I need to update that in my sig. I bought a TT typhoon and it rocks! I am running 1.6 vcore and I have a near-silent case now. Before I could run benches only to 2.8. Idle is 32 and load is 46-7.(Prime large fft) Obviously a big help. I have a lttle bit better than average chip. Most 100% cpu tasks only put me to 44c. I lapped the HS and I think that helped. I needed a silent case for my theater. That is where I game and I also use the pc to upconvert dvds using FFDShow. With 1.65 volts, I could probably get 2.75 stable for prime, but I am happy with the way it performs now. If I was worried about benching it to death, I would have alot higher 3d01 score for sure. I would like to see my memory stable @ 270 though. 2.5,4,4,7 is what it runs at now. I have tried a couple things, but it is only supposed to be 3,5,5,10 to 250, so I am pretty happy with it for overclocking as much as it has. There would be a big performance gain though if I could run async at 270 though. I wonder if there issome good cheap memory that will overclock like that. Anybody?
Need a little help if anyone can. I am running my SD at 310x10, things seems fine, and it's prime stable as well. I can run 3DMark fine, but when I try to run BF2 it seems to crash after a short time at 3.1GHz. I set it to 300x10 and it handles it no problem. At 3.1GHz, I had it at 1.66v. Pushing the vcore higher didn't seem to have any effect on stability. I tried 2.5HTT ratio, that didn't work either. Tried boosting LDT voltage, that didn't work. What else can I do?
Some games are really over sensitive to overclocks though...
Ok I seem to have figured it out. The memory was the culprit. Had a set of TCCD 437 in there and although it was handling ok at 310MHz, it seem to have been spitting out occasional errors at 2.7v. It didn't like higher voltage too. I switched it with the 440 from this machine and bumped it to 2.9v and problem solved. 3.1GHz BF2 stable.
Glad to see you solved the problem...
I as well fixed my problem I was having with my BFG 6800GT OC...
It wasn't scoring right...I found out another device was sharing the same IRQ so I did a reinstall and it solved it and the video card is now using IRQ #5 instead of #19. I am now back up to 12K+ on 3DMark03
I have decided for sure this time to revert to stock clocks because everytime I overclock it screws my windows install up and I have to reformat it all. It is getting tiresome right now and I really don't have the time for it all :(
anyone get a sandy recently with some results? 052x?
Yeah thats wad i wanna ask too...btw...does 05XX matter more than the SPMW/XPMW/TPAW thingie ?Quote:

Anyone know what week newegg or monarch are shipping? Whats ocing the higher.. older or newer?
Well in my profile is what I got from ZipZoomFly...they were cheaper and free 2nd day shipping.
And I don't think I have gotten the right BIOS for my Motherboard yet...

This is what I got testing for stability now..

The AquaMark3 score was done with 2.75GHz but wasn't stable for 3DMark03 I I clocked it down to 2.5GHz and that is what I scored.
has anyone tried a CABXE???
Thats not right. Maximum Payload Size has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of on-board memory on your GPU. It is not the PCI-E version of Aperture size. It should be left at the default 4096 setting. Lowering it will lower performance.Quote:

dont know my stepping as never looked and CBA removing waterblock. does 2.9 prime stable at 1.6V watercooled. but the best setting is for the summer weather when i still want my fans silent. its running @ 2650MHz at only 1.32V. ;)
How are the newer 3700+'s from ZZF and Newegg overclocking now? Are the memory controllers improving any? I just ordered one from ZZF a few minutes ago in place of my 3200+ Venice.
I got one from newegg's nj facilities 1.5 weeks ago, its a cabxe0512xpmw and it does 2.85ghz @ 1.6v prime stable on air 2.8ghz 1.53v prime stable on air also. However its memory controller is not exemplary and cannot 3dmark above 270mhz(memtest passes though) One of my older venice cpus did 315mhz on the very same ram without issue. There is a tradeoff with the memory controller, nonetheless the venice never went higher than 2.75ghz so I'm content.
Mine was from ZipZoomFly about 3 weeks ago. Stepping in sig. I am sitting at 250x10.0 so far.
240*11@1.6v ......not very impressive eh....counted on about 260*11 at those voltages.....dont seem to get hot, but wont go any further...it IS cpu..rest has been tested with former winnie............cannot trust my sensors on this DFI board, but i think it stays about 48c on load....i want 24/7 stable platform....this is not for benching. any1 knows a safe vcore for my xp120 on that cpu.
using bios 310 ...any better?
I think the bios could be limiting that overclock. 240x11 is rather low. I am sure it will do 2750 mhz. ALmost all do. try any of the newer bios'es and see if it makes a diff.Quote:

I get 57c on full load at 1.6v with a big typhoon and 54c on water cooling with my 3700+. I also had 5 venice cpu's and each reported temps a little different under the big typhoon. I remember one of them primed at 37c load and 1.6v and another went all the way up to 60c and actually overclocked better, either I'm seeing things or something is up.
That is what the BIOS and SmartGuardian is reading anyway...
My Chipset is at 41C and usually doesn't go above 44C anymore...
Everything is stable and seems fine.
my fx-57 0516WPMW is occt stable at 3020 1.38v for the moment
44°C on wc (very hot), 31-32°C room temp :(
36-37 outside

What makes those chips so much better than regular ones? Another member has the same one and it is as good. That's very nice.
Strained silicon for one makes them a lot more effecient chips. Other then that from what I understand the memory controller is the same. :stick:Quote:

but ran 220 without any extra volt..thought oh my, i have a great cpu...then hit a brick wall@ 230FSB....now it really needed a lot of volt to be stable.....ended up @ 245@ 1.65vcore........not good enough i think but dont dare to give it more voltage on air.
i have a fx55 that clocks good on air/water but it is boring and I am too lazy to use water cooling
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=26003 aircool
so 3700+ or 4000+ what is best?
I imagines that 4000+ clocks better ?
I use air cooling for now but got water cooling as well.

The cpu isn't stable in any tests (OCCT, S&M, Prime95) but seems to be stable in games.
I have tried 10 X 300, 12 X 250 at 1.575 and 1.568V.
To be honest, I don't know if I should give it more voltage, or send it back...
If I were to send it back, what do all you RMA experts recommend I say? The chip isn't faulty, I just think it's an overclocking dud...
Or do you guys think I can or should give it more voltage?
I just want to run it at 3 Ghz for everyday use. Temps with XP-90C and Panaflo are 36 Idle/47 load at 1.586V.
Any suggestions would be greratly appreciated...
Thanks
:(
it can handle more vcore......
Up to what voltage would you suggest?Quote:

You think up to that volyage will be ok for 24/7 usage?
:toast:
well my old barton was a 130nm cpu and ran with nearly 1.85 most of its life.....with air cooling....so i think its ok :) ..i know they have a lot of differences but 1.65 should not be something to worry about...
Got a new 4000+ Sandy 0518 TPAW today. Seems to be MUCH MUCH better than my previous POS 3700+ 0516 MPMW that topped out at 2.55GHz. It's upstairs priming at 2.9GHz (242x12) right now. Running low memclocks to make sure I find the max spot for the CPU. Anyway, I'm still running a pair of good old OCZ EB with micron -5BC, and I was wondering if anyone knows what bios I should use for these? I'm currently using the old 310P, which seems to be okay, really.

Well, I don't know if it's stable yet, as it's only primed for half an hour, but it's at 1.55v in bios, while smartguaridian shows 1.52v.Quote:
