Good luck anyway getting stable but the 1.9 isnt really ready yet to be as good as the 1.8.
yup... or 1.36mod if u need the extra vcore.... but 1.8 works so damn nice for me .....
do u guys think there will be a 500:400 divider for the new BIOS for the rev.E ??
alrite guys... my SECOND RMA RAPTOR WD HDD came DOA again !!! ... well not really DOA... but right after 100% format.... dead....... i called WD complainted a hell lot and they gonna send me another by tomoro and prepaid shipping for the last hdd back..... looking at the 3 dead raptor on my desk... how sad can it goes....... :'(

I did read what you said, that's why I posted?
:rolleyes: GO check it yourself:fact: . Now this is well off topic so I'm not going to post anymore.
I'm just now treading into 64 territory. Been overclocking XPs since they came out. So, I've bought a K8N neo2, Venice 3000+, and 2x512mb OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2. Im new to HTT and doing heavy overclocking on the FSB and ram.
I have read the guide Xtreme provides to overclocking. I have also done more digging on the potential of the K8N Neo2. I would like to squeeze about 2.4-2.6 ghz out of this.
Suggestions? My system should be here in a day or 2. What kind of settings should I test out. Help a amd64 o/c newb out.
Hey guys, i am new to the forum. I heard there is a cool for sale section, but you have to have 100 posts. So I am gona start here I guess.
See you in the future.
welcome tyrvidar...
anything we tell u now is pointless... u can figure everything out when u actually touch ur new rig :) ... and then u will realise there r a lot of issues..... tat is when u come here and ask again.... :D
haha I know man... Must you destroy my hopes ahhh.

0123 call it whatever you want slots 1 2 3 4 or a b c d cuz technically they are called slot 0 1 2 3 and have been since god knows when.
Anyways has anyone seen what i mentoined above with the voltage issues ?
and why on earth does the -12v report at only 7v ? this really needs to be addressed cuz i have a feeling this too is causing issues even though the hardware may see the true -12v if the bios is reporting only -7v then it can and will halt the system from properly functioning.
i wont use 1.9 any further that bios scares the hell out of me. it took me nearly all of one evening to get the dang thing to even boot to a floppy when i tried the modded version. i thought for sure the mobo was dead.
Im still wondering if one of the modders can chime in on whether raising the vdimm voltage is even possible or if they have even tried it.
same thing with the 183mhz ram divider.
remove all 1/2 cpu multipliers and that should enable or allow you to enable the 183mhz. or simply removing the *reserved* value from that particular hex line in the bios might do it. but i have a feeling more digging in the never ending hex values for the root of that *reserved* value is needed to fully enable the 183mhz. i mean the 1/2 cpu multi is just running 183mhz ram. but since its catagorized as a cpu option is it possible that the system pukes on certain cpu's instead of it running properly when using the actual setting under a ram setting ?
im really grasping at straws there but hey sometimes the right question drives a programmer to think and look at things differently which can result in finding new and interesting things or tricks.

Lestat all the .5 cpu mutipliers have been removed from the 1.9 bios but the 183 divider option is still not there. It cant be modded in by NFM hes already looked at it. So until MSI decide to be nice to us and add it themselves i think were screwed.
Cant remember which bios it was but 1 of them showed me a accurate -12 volt line. Think it was 1.41 mod. All the others with the option added show the wrong value :p annoying. But the issue that really annoys me is the cpu temperature in the bios it reads 268 degrees and hardlocks the bios when i try to view it. It even stops the 1.9 bios from entering setup. Thats why it was modded by nfm and cd1986 to remove the temp readings from the bios.
Once in windows it shows the temperature with core center or speedfan/mbm without a problem.
Ive been using 1.98 beta bios since it came out without a problem. Its never crashed for me and the extra configurability is worth it for me. But i dont see much point in people who arent using san diegos or x2 cpus switching from 1.8 atm.
actually that doesnt come out to say a whole lot.. I think you left out a sentance?Quote:

who else except sideeffect had tried the 1.98 BIOS ??
also, i manage to get hold of OCZ EL plat rev2.. the one with TCC5.. but it seems that it max out around 275Mhz 2.5-4-4-8... almost exactly the same as my Patriot XBLK TCCD.... so... does the problem lies with the Venice mem controller and the Neo2 BIOS ?? or it just coincident that both of these ram max out around there ?
i had tried the 1.98 NFM modded... very nice.... is a keeper... thx NFM again
for some reasons it allows my OCZ to clock up to 285Mhz.. alittle higher.... but still not good ennough for me...
its likely a combination of both.
I have a 0444 3000+ winchester and the max I can do is 285 2.5-4-3-x-1T or 310 2.5-4-3-x-2T with 2.8v on my 2x512 OCZ PC4800 Platinum (TCC5), but this also requires a modded bios since the original didnt hold trc and trfc constant when using dividers or at different FSB's.
2T really hurts on benchmarks... but i really like to hear from you whether it does have any real life effects ... like on games and daily apps ?Quote:

I have everything hooked up ~ time to start testing, 210 so far and going up.
Edit- Blahh im such a 64 o/cing noob. Blue screens at 215.
Updated to official 1.8 bios.
Venice 3000+ OCZ plat Rev 2 3200... where do I start at haha. I turned HTT to 4x.
use htt 3x, and lossen you ram to 2.5-3-3-7, and 166 divider then push the cpu to test for max bootable speed, then test for max stable cpu speed, then report back and we will give you the next steps.
Update~ 255 and climbing. Thanks, will update in a minute will see how far this goes before I have to up the voltage on the cpu. U = roxor. I had to pop my 64 cherry eventualy this is good stuff.
Update~ maxs out at 270 what should I do from here, up the cpu voltage like any old XP O/c? I want to squeeze about 2.6 out of this puppy.
There are a lot of 1T/2T 1gb/2gb threads in the memory section of the forums.Quote:

so what do you guys think? maybe I should get the 4000, sell it and just buy another 3700 sd or wait till they get more sd's in stock
I've been running the 1.9B8 bios since it was first released. No problems at all so far. I've had a setback though....my TDX CPU block decided to puke on and drown my 9800pro on Saturday night. I've tried to get it working again, but it's fubar.....soooo, I have a new BBA x800xl in my board now. :banana: :woot: As soon as I get new gaskets for the TDX I'll resume with my OC tweaking.Quote:

anyone recommend the best bios for Venice's ? My 3200 arrives this afternoon so i want to flash the board and be ready for it.
any particular bios shown to perform better than others ?
i figured NFM 1.8Rev3 would be good but didnt know for sure.
