I made this pic of my settings with my 144 I'm running at 316*9 = 2850 approx. (yes I love mspaint..)
My TCCD's SPD is damaged (I think) so I must run cas 2 (and ~200MHz) on them.
But you can see what is needed I guess :)

By the way my NEC nd2500a (or something) works without problems.
EDIT- unintentional double post......
both of you try to search for overclocking guide for xpress 3200 by Sami Mäkinen(maekinen if you are not finnish :D) its very helpfull for clocking on that board. helped me a lot. its orginally made for asus a8r32-mvp but most of the things are chipset related so it wont matter. and have you setted rd580 ht pll speed to fast? it helps a great deal for higher htt clocks. you should not need to lower htt multi at htt300. mine runs just fine htt300 at 5x multi and no volt bump.
First i had my pata drive on a sata-pata adapter and rhe nec drive alone and as master on the pata.Quote:

So now i have it as slave together with my hdd.
But its no different anyways. it act the same both ways.
Little hard to explain what it does, it makes this ticking sound, like its searching, for like 30s and goes silent.
Everytime i try reading a cd it just start tikking for 30s again...
My samsung cd drive works fine though...
marlowe:
Isnt that pretty much exact what i got now? maybe exept for idle cycle limit...
Uhm yeah you're right.. I've reached 370 HTT with these same settings.Quote:

Edit: I've had that ticking sound (and following "hanging" meanwhile in explorer if trying to access it) before, on another old slot-in aopen cd-rom.. I'm not absolutely sure but I think it was defect :p:
Edit2: I have the 4,2MB Overclocking_Guide_CrossFire_Xpress3200.pdf if you want it :)
ok.
doing 325x9 @ 1,41v right now. cpu-z 1.36 doesnt read the voltage offset i think, cus it still shows 1,4v
to bad there isnt a 150divider in bios, cus i think maybe with a little tweaking i could get 250 on the ram, and that it would give me alot more bandwith!
You could use A64info to switch to 150 divider at startup. It works pretty slick.Quote:

Dam, my cpu hit a wall @ about 3ghz. did 330x9 @ 1,416 but not even 1,43 was enough for 335x9 maybe around 1,45 is needed.
so possible that 330 will be my 24\7 setup. atleast til my wc is as i like it to be. need a new pump(and new tubing\barbs)
AH, Sweet!
Only changed cas latency from 2 to 3 and then my ram went from 215 to 250.
so using the 150divider got me 600 more mb\s on read and 250+ on write!
Edit:If i want to run dual superpi, do i have to do something special? or is it just to open 2 of them and run them?
Edit2: figured it out, was only to make 2 folders...
this is starting to look like something!:cool:
ok, running 320x9 @ 1,43 for now. should be pretty stable.
But god dam this cpu gets hot now! somewhere around 15-20k hotter @ load than 300x9 @ 1,35...
Dang, the temp on this chip just skyrocketed! but it seemes to be stable so i guess its ok.
but i cant go for 3ghz....
It begs to be delidded i think.
It's getting hot because it's consuming a lot more power now. This is where the 4 phase power and heatsinked FETs really start shining. :)

What are the temps? And what is your cooling?
man, almost 40 k delta....
cooling is in sig. soon gonna redo my loop a bit, throw out the nb block(just hanging in the air right now) and the waterchill gpu block(switching with mcw60 thats on my x1900)
only need a new pump then...
edit: will stick my outdoor thermometer down the t-line to check water temp....
edit2: hm a little bit higher delta than i thought. 8k air\water...
40 k delta t?
@ idle?
no no. idle? wft is that? load of course!:D
edit: dual instance of F@H btw....
Edit2 oh, and its 40k air\cpu, not 40k idle\load...
lowered the clocks to 2.8 @1,4v (312x9) now i get good temps again. 25k lower that 2.9 @1.43v....
What is mps rev? should it just stay at 1.1 or should i change it to 1.4?
what does it do?
Ok i cant turn the pc off without having to clear cmos to get it to boot up again.
How can this be fixed?
Greyskull?
could you possible give me a helping hand?Quote:

I had cold boot problems with the first bios released with this board, but not with the AMI. You could try flashing it properly again, making sure everything is correct. There shouldn't be cold boot problems.
By the way, I'm almost impressed with how much troubles you've had :)
I also like your avatar ;)
