Are you trying to hurt our feelings !!!! how cruel !!!!!! Rub it in why don't you Opp !!!! :banana:

Definetly a bios issue I'd say, same results when you try something higher like 258mhz or higher ??
now OPP you talking about actual memory speed not fsb right?
because the one i am playing on tonight is up to 275 fsb.
please excuse me my friend i am a AMD man so i am lost on the intel box.last one i overclocked was a pIII 500.
yea he's talking memory speed.
I did a quick look around and found a post asking the same thing opp. Of course nobody could answere the post but he had the same problem. Running the ram at 255 ok, 256 and above no go !

:D, yea this straight memory speed 1:1, 256/256.

Excellent my friend, just what I needed to show Abit.Quote:

Opp, now that you mention it I was testing my new IC7 board that I just picked up with 4 sticks of XMS 3500 and I couldn't get it to post any higher than 256. It would post, but would freeze at the same place that yours did.
did you mean 256 ???Quote:

same prob here with my 2.4C/IC7 15 bios and ocz pc3700 gold dc.. 256mhz 1:1 freezes at bios loading startupQuote:

255mhz 1:1 2.5-4-4-7 2.8v is stable but 256mhz :(

chainbolt managed to get 258mhz with IC7-G and ADATA PC4000 at 2.8v though
Thats what Opp needs to hear !!!
Oops I fixed it. Yes I did.
Are you sure he got it through the bios or was it on the fly?Quote:

I'm at 260 with setfsb right now.

memtest stable @258mhz at 2.8v on IC7-G on P4P800/P4C800 same memory does 274-283mhz at 2.85vQuote:

None of our test boards will do it 1:1 same exact error
I can do 260 if I back off on the timing, 249 1:1 was max @ 5-2-2-2
so far only way is set fsb :)
Notice youre bandwidth going to hell past 265:)
I think its just the apps not doing something right for mem results
But then again could be a bios thing as well it may switch it back to 5:4 wiitout telling you, and that would make almost every 3700+ stick not boot
btw try using 3-8-4-4 it sounds crazy but its fast as hell at 250 fsb sandra buffered@ 64xx/65xx and pc mark of 12k+
Aida 32 will show gains where Sandra doesn't.Also cachemen still functions correctly.
Do you think this is an intentional limit imposed by Abit?
intended probably not.. for me 2.78v vdimm probably limits me to 255mhz but then againQuote:

Mine is the same. 256 it locks at post.
Guess it is a problem, does the CW offer a positive ram divider, so you can try the ram at a lower fsb to take the sheer power constraint off the board?
i.e. 4:5 divider 202fsb/258ram?
with mi samsung pc 2700 from bios i can't pass 256...from win by set-fsb i can hit 259@2,9v
Opp where did you get the SETFSB for the IC7?Quote:

No officail release for IC7 but the P4C version works with most CW/SD boards
I fired up the board today and it locks in the exact same spot that Opps does. If I set it at 255 I get into windows no prob. Then using SETFSB I was able to get it up to 268 1:1 with 2.5-7-3-3 and run sandra cpu & mem test.
My board and ram do the same thing as everyone elses. How do I get setfsb to work on my IC7? I tried turning off HT and rebooted but it still was a no go
Steve
serfsb does work, BUT cpuz and wcpuid don't show the correct fsb/mem.
Ok but when i raise the fsb with it my benchmarks go unchanged
It should change 3Dmark scores.
OPP
Ah the one test I didn't try :D

Seems to work :D
Does anyone tried four sticks of 256 MB OCZ PC3700 Gold with regard to the thread topic?
tome
You'd need to reinstall WinXP without HT.Quote:

But wcpuid can read the correct speed too:

I think you need to re-read the thread topic. It doesn't have anything to do with running 4 sticks of 3700 memory.Quote:

I think it is just another parameter. Running two or four sticks on the IC7 in DC mode at 256+ (1:1/5:3) is maybe a hugh difference.Quote:

I have tried running 4 sticks, and it doesn't help! I get a more stable and higher clock 1:1 and 5:4 with 2 256 sticks instead of 4-256 sticks.
Thanks for the info. This will prevent me from buying another two sticks. I will wait for mem that's capable of running at 270+ in 1:1 mode.
Just so everyone knows I tried last night to run just 1 stick of ram at over 255Mhz and got the same result. I've also found this board will not run at 300Mhz FSB+ using any mem ratio and 2 sticks of ram but with one stick I can do 318+
Steve
I swapped out my IC7 and updated bios, and now I get the 256/ on boot. I can also set to 255 and boot into Windows.
Does this limitation affect the IC7 in 5:4 mode?
ie does someone lucky enough to have a P4 running at 300fsb
have any trouble with memory at 240MHz?
with 4 sticks it doesn't help that real vdimm is 2.76v maxQuote:

i tried 4x 256MB ADATA PC4000 sticks on
PX865PE PRO2 with 2.85v vdimm max error free so far is 261mhz 3-4-4-8
IC7 with 2.8v vdimm max is 237/238mhz 3-4-4-8
4 sticks sees max oc drop alot compared to 2 sticks max with 2.85v being around 274-277mhz on PX865PE PRO2.. can't go past 255mhz on IC7 still :(
My IC7 wont do over 300FSB using 3:2 or 5:4 unless I use one stick. If I run one stick I can go all the way to 318 with the stock NB coolerQuote:
