Hi, i have trouble overclocking, when i try 2 overclock i cannot boot with higher memspeed then 150 mhz and i do NOT understand all of the things in the bios.. ( had a8n sli deluxe before). i know my cpu manages 2700 mhz easily but i still have problems with the "unknown" stuff in the bios. and i need help with what the timings should be. i have a opteron 165, corsair pc 3500 LL PRO 2 gb, FS 700 W psu and 7800 GT`s. thanks for all help
can anyone help this poor guy?(consider this a bump)
I had to put more volts (2.85) on my G.Skill to keep em stable @ 236.5mhz where the a8n-sli did it with 2.75 for me. I'm running my 3000+ @ 2.75ghz now that's already 50 more then the asus would give. Only thing i'm waiting for now is my new OCZ EL Platinum's (Rev. 2) so i can run it at 1:1
- Schmetterling
still i need an explanation of WHAT 2 set all the funny stuff in the bios 2 :worship:

why not start from scratch, as you should, will it not boot if you 'load optimized settings'?
Well, Ok...you booted at 300*9 then on your 165 right?
Your screenshot says you have the 233 divider set....the means the ram is trying to run faster than the CPU.
I don't know what IC's you have but judging from the timings I would say they are Infineon/Aeneon based.
Start here to get you going...then we can work on the overclock: http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/sho...81&postcount=2
To overclock the ram you will probably have to run 2.5-3-3-x timings (CAS-Trcd-Trp-Tras)
Lower the memory divider!
what the screenshot shows is not what i set the divider 2.. it only boots @ the lowest divider and thats memory speed @ 150 mhz.. when i load optimized defaults , or only default i get 200 mhz memory speed and no troubles.. and i ran my opty 165 @ 2.7 on asus card ( can boot and run superpi @ 3 ghz.. and i dont know what timing 2 put where.. only CAS.Quote:

Ok....so everything runs at defaults.
What bios are you running on the board?
the newest from DFIQuote:

i ran my RAM @ 249 mhz on asus mobo .. omg:slapass: :slapass: :smoke: :smoke:
Try something like this:
In Genie Bios
275 and work your way up
auto
16 16
9
100
disable
Startup
adjust your CPU voltage accordingly for your CPU
Auto
1.20v
1.52v
2.62 - 2.80V
Dram Config
166 then maybe 150
disabled
2.5 (or 3)
3
8
3
10
16
03
02
02
03
3120
auto
enabled
auto
0
Level 8, 9, or 10
Level 2 (Reduce 30%) or 1 (Reduce 50%)
8ns or 9ns
normal
6ns or 6.5 if you use 9ns above
64
disable
16
04
disable
u know what? that is the answer i have been DREAMING of :D i will test it tomorrow.. thank u so much!!! :hump:Quote:

ENABLED - since you are only running 2 sticks of ram
2.5 (or 3)
3
8
3
10
16
03
When I say maybe 150...I am meaning you may have to go to the 150 divider as you scale up the FSB to keep the ram from running too fast.
Since I am an OCZ rep and not Corsair...I can't guarantee that the timings I am giving will work, but I think if you had them running 249 on your Asus board, I have a pretty good idea of what IC's are on them and this should work.
crap..! i manage 2.7 with no problems but i cant get the ram stable.. i have heard that corsair and dfi arent g00d friends , or is this BS?
i have tried 2 adjust voltages and timings with no luck.. i get random bluescreens
have you gotten any progress, or are you still not able to get the freq above stock
228 mhz or something on the ram so its progress.. but still probs..Quote:

i get bluescreens still but they are rare now.. whats wrong? timing?
stock on them is 3-4-3-8..

Well i dont know it´s something weird about Expert and BH-5 coz i got a similar problem ..
The TG PC4000 will do 277mhz@3.7V on an Ultra-D but on Expert i can hardly get 250 out of it...:mad:
yup, i'm agree with you. my mushkin bh5s can did 265 in ultra-d easily but no luck above 250 on expert.Quote:

i am going 2 change mobo now :P
Yep same here i gave up so im going AM2 as soon as i can sell the MB and ram:slap:
go ask over a DFI street, they are really helpful over there....
they might even throw in a free bullet in the head and kill your dog too.
Great tech support.
his name is angry games, but he will just probably get angry with you.
id sell the dfi and buy somthing else before it sets your pc on fire like mine.
