"it's coming" ...my GF said that to me last night.
She has to tell you that??? tsk tsk learn to pay attention to her reactions and you will know she is without her saying so...err wait off topic again hehehe.
Well, dropped VCore to 1.45 (1.408 in cpuz). Also set back to normal other voltage settings.
Until now, flawless. Now it's time to raise FSB again and see what happens...
Can someone recommend me a good bios for S3 to use with Elpida-based sticks (stock PQI PC5300 666 4-4-4-12 @ 2V). I am having stability issues even at stock - Prime fails.
Richard, it's true! Such a weird thing like you said before.
FSB = 425
Multi = 8
PCI-E Freq = 100
VCore = 1.45 (1.408 in CPU-Z)
VDimm = +0.25 (2.05 total)
All other Voltages = Default
What does CPU-Z show? 424x8. Why does it steal 1 MHz from me? :P
It only happens when I set manually PCI-E frecuency...
See ya!
Dunno...bios quirk, set the PCI-E frequency between 101-105 and see what happens.
update with some pics on my ds4 and D9

Here's a large FFT test i did for my G.SKILL HZ 2GB kit, timings of 4-4-4-12 with 2.0V set in bios.

I also ran Windows Memtest for a couple of hours, think this should be sufficient to gauge stability.

i want to know EXACTLY what settings your using in the bios.
the DS4 has not had the same issues as the DS3 but anything you can show us is helpful
someone let me know which bios is the best for DQ6 and OCZ Gold 5400?
Where is the beta bios for the S3?
Guys. i'm confident i can reach 3.5GHz with a Vcore of 1.4250V...should i shoot for it?
438x8, 876MHz on the memory...maybe that will be 2.1V VDimm?
Richard, man you have a 6600 run it at it's proper x9 multi.....Quote:

richard why ask if you should go for 3.5ghz jesus just do it.
the time you spent typing that question you could have raised the vcore and fsb and doung out.
1.45v on air is NOT going to be a problem unless you have a really crappy heatsink.
just do it man,,

and just so you know you CAN safely run the DS3 bios on the S3.
nothing special mate , the timings you see + 2.15 vdimm + 1.4 vcore and all other option to AUTO :DQuote:

Strange. I'm testing right now 400x8, memos @1000. Perfectly stable, 56º while running orthos.
I don't know why it don't wanna go further than +/- 3200. I'm pretty sure that if I lower the VCore it'll still run flawless.
If I try 425x*, it shows 424. Every option above 400MHz gets a MHz stolen. Maybe a bios bug? Did you have this problem too? Maybe this is why it won't oc more than 3200mhz...well, it's a longshot.
Eru its the ram thats stopping you. since your running it on a divider and @ 1000
drop the ram to 1:1 and set the pci-e fsb and (g)mch voltages to auto.
lock the pci-e at 100mhz if you have not done so already
and, hhmm,,,, just make sure you have enough vcore
Lestat, I've already tried running 1:1 425x8 and 400x9. Will try again with everything but vcore on auto.
Updating in a few minutes.
Thx!
You got that right, just flashed my S3 with F8a for the DS3 and it's working fine. However, I'm still stuck at the 450FSB wall that I was at with the S3's F6 bios. I know it's not the ram or the cpu as I am running my cpu at stock volts and my ram at stock timings.Quote:

Anything above 450 and the bios continuous resets itself to FSB clock.I've tried 455, 460, and up and system will not even post, just resets back to default clock and have to go in and reset it. Yes, I've tried higher vcore up to 1.5v and up, tried increasing the FSB and MCH volts up to their max, even tried setting PCI-E to 100, usually have it on auto. I've tried vdimm up to 2.2v also with 5-6-6-15 timings. Nothing doing. This board has me stuck, and I know I have a lot more left in this cpu.
Mike try setting the pci-e to 110mhz if you havent already.
you can even go as hgh as 115mhz safely but i wouldnt go any higher.
the F8a also crippled me at roughly 450 but what i find even more odd is that when i first flashed with F8a i was stuck around 450 but now as ive kept trying and not changing anything else just setting fsb to 463 i can do 463x8 easily. and i can also power off and power back on and it doesnt reset itself.
why it took time to work i dont know.
i would suggest maybe trying the F7 and see what it does for you.
one of the other guys mentioned getting a new DS4 from rma and it was like a totlaly different board.
he isnt the only guy who i have seen say that.
i have a sneaky suspicion that the original boards were pretty screwed up and they are fixing them, on the hardware side i mean.
i am happy with my DS3 but in a way i wish it would die so i could rma it hehehe. maybe get a C2!

its not a missing mhz,, its that as you can see when you use Clockgen, each step is not infact a full 1mhz. but maybe less then 1mhz or slightly more than 1mhz.
so even though you are setting 411x9 in actuallity, since the fsb is a decimal. 410.7mhz or whatever it actually is. the system technically rounds it down.
its not a big deal, everyone's boards do it.
Yep, I know. I'm oc'ing since I had my -now old- P2 400.
The strange thing is than it's only happening when I set FSB over 400.
Tried to do 400x9, intends to boot...but cannot get into windows. VCore 1.5 and 1.55, all others default.
PCIE Freq. on auto, 'cause if I set it on >= 100 it won't boot!
Now I'm on 420x8 1:1 1.45 VCore & PCIE-F = 100. Until now, orthos stable...
I will win this battle =P
Thx a lot!
I think the next thing I try actually will be a hardware reset via jumper of the bios and reset my settings and see where that gets me. Sometimes after a bios update with my old DFI board you had to shut down, reset the bios via jumper, wait 15 mins and start up and suddenly things would make a difference. I had reset to defaults within the bios itself but that's not always the solution either. :) Either way, I'll try what you suggest and hope that it somehow just starts working on it's own like it did for you. Strange things happen with computer hardware... :)Quote:
