eliteone,
good to see you here and there.
you did not describe system details esp. mem module spec/brand
i run Vdd 1.78V upto 230MHz before the problem comes back

Oops, thought I had a sig here. Here goes the specs.
Athlon xp 2700
256*2 corsair pc3500
gainward gf4 ti4600
It seems setting the agp to "auto" instead of 66 or any other values cuts down the artifacts...but they're still there. Do you have an ati card or nvidia?
So, what it looks like to me to have everything working as advertised, Prime 95 and 3d2001 looping endlessly, you have to be around 210- 218 FSB. I want a system to have no limitations so it can handle any stress that is thrown at it. Simply running one 3d2001 test is nice to know but can it handle continous looping at 220 fsb, on air cooling? Sometimes reducing the FSB by 2 mhz will allow it.Quote:

but wont complete 3d2001 at that speed.yettt.will complete 3d at 220fsb but i am working on moving it at this very moment into my phase change test unit.where i will be able to cool the chipset better than air. need.more volts to the chipset and i cool it properly with high volts there.needs 1.9 or better i think .
I am an air purist type of guy:p so these numbers would be where I would have to live.
it has run prime for hour on hours with no errors at 225fsb but..Quote:

i do not believe prime stresses the memory as hard as 3d2001.
my reasoning behind that is.......
i measure my voltages and most things with a very accurate multi meter.(i am funny that way about being accurate)
i like to check volts while i am under load to watch for strange things(sometimes i will see a problem before it is real bad).and while stress testing the memory i watched the mem voltage.i had it set to 3.05 and under prime it only dropped to 3.03 while looping.but.................while running 3d2001 the voltage drops quite a bit.to just under 3.0 sometimes hitting 2.97.so when the memory is pulling more current with 3d2001 rather than prime that tells me 3d is stressing the memory alot more.
and that works out because i cant run a full test of 3d2001 at 225fsb dual back but will run prime.
turn down the speed to 220 and will run perfect no problems loops 3d all day if need be.
i even did the second volt mod to the memory and it does help alot to stablize the system.( i am not sure how many of you guys even did the second one but it does help if you run over 3.0.)
but the increase in volts to the chipset makes alot of differance to increase of fsb.i hopfilly will get back to testing sometime this weekend if my kidds dont drive me crazy lol.
:D
What kind of memory are you using?
hyperX pc3500 matched set of 2 sticks of 256mgQuote:

i have some corsair c2 ram that is great but it wont stand up to these hyperX sticks these ram are truely bad to the bone...:D
I haven't heard of that stuff. Who is the maker and where did you purchase it?
check it out....hereQuote:

Isn't HyperX just the name for the flash Kingston stuff that OPP was havin orgasms over not so long ago?? If so it's apparently the best DDR Memory on the market... do a search for Kingston on the forum, should bring up a stack load of threads about it.
Would anyone be so kind as to tell me the name of the chip opposite the Vdd chip (IOR 3037)? I can't quite make it out from the pic, thx.
This mods are for EPoX 8RDA+ Rev 2.1 or no???
