is this chip good?....im new to amd64 though...need some advise... :D
i do. im running this an50r with no volt mods. i run my memory at 2.9v cpu 1.6v the rest set to auto. the oc is done thru the bios using 230x10 2.5 LDT 1:1 so far nothing has died? been about two months so far so good. ill let you gys know if anything dies from me using just what the bios has to offer?Quote:

Before you throw things at me for asking that, I'm just curious from a testing standpoint if anybody has killed anything just using bios settings.
Thanks,
Kosmic
later perc,
Very similar to mine.Quote:

Not the best of clockers but i think it might be something to do with my psu. It did 2349mhz 3d on water 1.65v. In my gigabyte k8n. And 2269mhz on air.
i think my 3000+ cg newcastle is dying too, but why?
i got a vmodded an50r (vdimm/core) and changed the VRs live, but never had/noticed spikes (bios reading).
max vcore was like 1.75 and max vdimm 3.2, never went above. wtf is up with the 64s?!
but hey at least the cg was supposed to have an enhanced mem ctr l:stick: :D
friggin stuff, i'm pretty frustrated right now
One word: diodes.
Care to elaborate a bit on that?Quote:

Hm I'm thinking of getting an A64 system, now I'm a bit scared of sudden deaths. :P
So is any NF3 board safe to overclock, because I don't want these damn pci/agp dividers. I got some kickass BH-5 ram here and I don't want it to end up at 200mhz :P
So what about NF3+High FSB+High Cpu Clocks ?
And maybe should I wait for socket 939 ? (don't have that much money)
I sat back for a bit to see different peoples results from the various NF3 boards.While the shuttle boards seemeed tempting because of their price, they also seemed flaky at times. I opted for the gigabyte K8n-pro and aside from a bios issue I had from the original revision of the board (which was resolved when i got a newer rev board) I hvaent had any other problems. As far as sudden death syndrome, I havent seen any of the symptoms, I have my 3.3v rail at 3.7, and my vdimm voltage at 3.35v and so far so good, only thing holding me back for now is my cooling solution. I havent really decided on the whole s939 thing, as I am not all that convined that dual channel is gonna help all that much, let alone the fact that all the 939 athlon64s will only have 512k l2 cache. So unless you wanna put down the "cache" for an 939 FX, I would recommend sticking with the s754 solution, as it seems it'll be around for awhile.
oh btw: High HTT frequencies dont really seem to bother asny of my system components, just look at my sig for my clocks :)
So I should get a Gigabyte board ? What mods did you do to it ? And on what cooling are you ?
I would definately recommend it, im sure alot on here would agree with me, its a solid board, a lot of features and until I got this board, I never like gigabyte. As far as mods, I modded my 3.3v rail on my PSU, did the vcore mod, and also did vdimm. I'm only on a lowly koolance exos with an extra radiator looped in, it cools my cpu, chipset, and GPU for my radeon 9800xt. Fully modded and overclocked, I'm at nearly 2.5ghz and broke 25K on 3dmark2k1 :D w00t
Hm please check my new Thread in "A64 sys, need advice" need some knowledge, I'll post some new questions
I have exactly the same steppingQuote:

2800Mhz with 1.9v
my A64 runs with 3.35V-4.2V-dimm and 1.7V-2.1V-core --> no problems.
I just put together an A64 3200+ CAAPC CG with a Gigabyte K8Npro. The vdimm is modded to my +3.3v rail to give a constant 3.34v to the ram. So far with basic watercooling and vcore mod I can do 253x10 math stable, and 250x10 3D stable all at 2.5x LDT. I was able to get 230x10 at stock voltage. Gonna do the vcore mod soon, and get this CG up to atleast 2.7ghz , hopefully further.
At 1:1 my 2x512 oc pc3200 OCZ eb did 261x9 2.5-2-2-11. With a bios update to F12 I was able to get my Mushkin L2's to 267 2-2-2-11. I hear a lot of other boards have problems with 512 sticks, but the K8N just gobbles em up no prob.
I was a little worried at first to, but I have had smoothe sailing. I am quite enjoying this board. Didn't have this much fun with my P4C800-E and 3.2C or 2.4C
my 3200+ runs at 2600mhz 1.7v, mem 3.4v 260x10, rock stable:)
it does 2800mhz at 1.9v no probs.
so far so good with my shutle:D
whats the max this baby can go on a possible abit ultra 250 board?
i think it depends wich cooler u use and the cpu...
i give u one exp.... mine gives 2800mhz and i have a friend with prommy aswell that only goes to 2750mhz:rolleyes:
and the mobs are the same:)....
my opinion, its like amd´s....its pure lucky:)
thanks crazy
So is 3.2VDIMM and 2Vcore safe on a bencg rig with chilled water? Can I use a bit more Vcore if needed?
Mobo is a VNF3-250.
I have a pretty nice 3000+ and I cnat afford to replace it.
i think vdimm its ok, but 2vcore:eek: ....Quote:

u like ur cpu??:p:
the max that mine works its a 1.9v... i tried 2v, and even 2.1v and don´t make diference...;)
.15V probley wont get me much more :p: We will see...
did u guys experience with the same voltage but diff cooler gives u diff result?....
when i was getting +2C celcius at 2.655ghz....1.78vcore...it is nv stable... oni for 2.6ghz stable...but with same voltage ...same clock... with 8c improvement ... -6C LOAD... 2.677ghz stable....
nah...i have a prommy modded with r404:D ...Quote:

always at -56º:banana: ....(260x10, 1.7vcore), with folding@home working 100%, then drops to -50/49º stable 24h:)
so no point trying another cooler:p:
my cpu don´t pass the 2815mhz:(
Ok, I just got an Oddball stepping 3200+.. wondering if it will Overclock.. will have to find out:
The stepping is
ADA3200AEP5AP
DAAOC 0414RPCW
Anybody seen these before?
