Yeah but if your CPU is NOT prime stable for over 23/53mins :slapass: the chanche of failing in game is way higher than when prime stable for 12hrs. But lets not continue this discussion overhere...:nono:Quote:

No useless discussions. System must be Gamestable and Primestable.
And if you are a lot of Benching than you have to be Benchstable.
The decision have to make someone für himself.
Prime only shows you that the Chip is stable but not your whole System.
looking good al those VPMW's, but is there someone that has one with aircooling?
Finally hit 2800, but took 1.55v :(
Dual prime ran for 10 hours before i stoped it.

very nice Delirious, what is the stepping for that chip
Similar to mine... I've got an 0550UPMW, you?Quote:

but anything past that and it is not stable at all
don't really want to raise the volts more as I am in need of some better cooling
thanks, its a 0546mpmwQuote:

As for the batch# if you're willing to do a search you would of found what it is as I had already posted it many times in different threads, same as learning how to overclock properly or why you can prime but can't game and if you're willing to do a search there are plenty of guide and answers all over the place but looks like you're simply too LAZY to use the search function, and prefer to be spoonfed instead :stick: for a newbie you sure have a mouthful....keep up with all these name calling and we'll see how many people willing to help you and how far you get with this kind of attitude :slapass: :shakes:Quote:

very nice XPMW you got there eva, is the IHS still on? :D :D :DQuote:

Thats the stepping thats coming my way this week,hope it turns out as well as yours:)
This is going to be my 24/7 chip.Please pray for me :D
QUESTION:
I'm having a lot of problems with the DRAM Drive strength and DRAM Drive Data strength. I'm using a 2x1gb kit of g.skill HZ. What should i put the DRAM Drive strength and DRAM Drive data strength at? In my bios (704-2bta), the only options that i have are DRAM drive strength going from weak1, normal1, weak2, normal2, etc going up to normal4, and for DRAM Drive Data strength all i have is options 1,2 and 3. any help? is it that weak 1 = 1, normal 1 = 2, weak 2 = 3, normal 2 = 4, etc? someone please help!

yup.Quote:

there is no dobut the ram setting can make a big difference but with that said it seems once the dual core chip hits its peak there is nothing that seems to helpQuote:

i saw somewhere some guy posting how fixing his drive data strength allowed him to oc around 200/300mhz higher (he was held back at a low mhz also), so i wanna see if mine will have any effect
i dont think so, 200/300 mhz is alot.. the fastest way is that you loose up your timings and put ram on the 133 divider (or even 100) and then find your max oc for chip (so that u ar not limited with ram)..when u found it, then put up the divider and start playing with ram settings..Quote:

if u want to find out that quckliy, put your ram on the divider (make it run under specified frequency, so that u ar 100% sure is not ram related), and test the cpu..Quote:

dont know if thats any help or not...
EDIT: yeah, thats what i did, and my max was 2600. now i wanna know if putting my strength values differently will help at all
i think u got antoher dud :banana: .. drive strenght values matter only when u ar driving your ram close to max frequency..but in other hand, u have FX60 for much lower price :toast:
your opty 170 may not be able to handle the ram at 260mhz..Quote:

did you get rid of your 0530 without determining the max oc by using a ram divider of 100 or 133???
if yso you are not determining your max cpu speed and the ntweaking ram
to determine max speed on the cpu you need to take the ram out of the equation..set to low speed and timings...who cares you are testing the cpu for it maxes overclock
so set the ram to 100 or 133 divider..set timings to 3-3-3- 8-1t and good vdimm for the ram...
then slow start to overclock your cpu....I would start a 170 at 2500 on stock and see if it boots and run prime 95 at all
also make sure to make a backup of anything important first..best to try basic winxp install IMHO to avoid possible software issues
remember you will go back later to determine best ram- cpu combo....
you can not expect to drop a cpu in and set to 2700-2800 with ram at 9/10 or 1:1 divider...previous combination may not work with a new chip and setup
I would suggest reading the OCing guides at dfi street for more info and at AT by Zebo..good basic stuff
^^__exactly
I'd give the 623-3 bios a shot, the 704-2BTA bios were horrible for me, I had to set my memory timmings ridiculously loose to get my system stable at my current speed.Quote:
