x2 3800 @ 3gig

[H[]R3NDUS]

I have been playing around with my A8v-delux for over 12 months now.
i currently have a X2 3800 wich will run @ 3gig but i get faster performance @ 2.9 ghz

due to mem settings.

atm im stuck on 2900 mhz @ 1.4 vcore with mem @ cpu/12 mem
wich gives me 241 mhz on mem with cas settings @ 2.5.3.3.7
mem is x2 corsair cmx 512 -4000 pro

can pull a doom3 timedemo demo1 @ 204 fps on low res with these settings.

yet at 3 gig the mem cant stay on these settings i have to run "cpu/15 i think "

i feel that cpu is verry stable @ 3gig but with not many options in mem settings. im suffering on more cpu overclock

would i get more chance of greater overclock with the newer asus motherboards??like this 1 ASUS A8N-SLI- PREMIUM nForce 4 SLI

i run my mem @ 2x disabled as far greater performance even if i have to lower cpu fsb hence 300 down to 290 x10

my sys specs atm are
A8v-delux rev 2.0 max vcore 1.6wich is fine but max vdim 2.8 :-( is a bit sad
2 xWD 74 gb Raptors raid 0 stripe 16
2x hitachi 160 gb ide for storage & Ghost backups
6800 Gt vid card
2x 512 corsair cmx 512 4000 pro
OCZ powerstream psu adjustable rails
Vapochill Pe
cm stacker STC-T01 with Window

operating sys is winxp pro sp2

maintenance partition = 200mb consist off
1 vapo config
2 Ghost 7.5
3 ghost 8
4 pqmagic 8
5 btmagic
runs of menu for easy recovery. data backups & vapochill controll

im at the end i feel no way i can push this board any harder i have tried for months...

if you want to really push it, a DFI lanparty is the board you need, lots of voltage and tweak options

and my brother inlaw is excited about the new conroe coming soon
as our pc,s are neck and neck in all our rendering test & so on
he runs the new p4 duel core 2.8 @ 3.6 ghz i think.

so come on AMD guys give me some help!!!
Thanks in Advance Hori.

what model DFI would u suggest ?? Thanks for the quick reply also

[Ket]

I'd say a SLI-D, all the perks of the DR version without a price bomb just for 4 extra SATA ports. the Expert model is also supposed to be alright......until it randomly dies. I say stich with the SLI-D, I actually run mine 24\7 with a FSB\HTT of 315MHz :p

[dinos22]

get an expert.....all the hype of them randomly dying is out of proportion......

[Ket]

No itsnot, I had 3, all died for no reason, gave up after the 3rd one. :\

[H[]R3NDUS]

How do these things perform on there stata raid controllers
my current promise 378 fastrack can ghost from hitachi to raptors @ 2.3 gig/pm on stripe 16

but my brother inlaws p4 asus motherboard raid controller is Bad @ speeds of as low as 1300 mb\pm stripe 16

little things like good raid controllers for ghosting purposes are important on a mother board choice

""Ket SLI-D, I actually run mine 24\7 with a FSB\HTT of 315MHz :p
what cpu and mem settings are u at . thanks


who watchd australia v greece last night ?? wasnt ausie good in first 40 min ??

[Ket]

my cpu is actually pretty crap, tho for a winchester core i suppose its not too bad, 2.55GHz. on a zalman. intend to have some nice shiny new parts soon tho. im going world record chasing.

probably a user thing

pfff overconfident youth these days heheh

nah they just plain suck :p besides many have trouble with TCCD and similar ICs on the expert board, so its actually a worse OC platform *points finger and laughs at DFI*

heheh Expert is designed for 2GB kits or 4xbanks..........which is what everyone is running these days......2GB RAM is norm........4GB is just right

[Ket]

any board can do 2 or 4GB (well apart from the abit fatality, total POS) its nothing that special. and me a youth? ive been doing the pc thang for 11 years, my pinky finger probably is more knowledgeable than you :p

hehehe lolskie...you don't know what i'm talking about do you

[Ket]

from the way you put it and it read, bashing me because im seemingly "new" to WR chasing :p i had my fun back in the day taking a P166 to 423MHz on air an stuff, now im back again (hopefully with sponsorship for uber cold cooling :p)

[dinos22]

ok so you're 22 now........and you were breaking w.r. at age of 12 heheheh with what budget? you're ice cream pocket money

[SoF]

hmm am I the only one thinking this does not belong here
when will ppl start to use the amd section for these sort of problems?

[IvanAndreevich]

taking a P166 to 423MHz on air

Sounds like bull But hey, that's just me.

[Nanometer]

I agree. Too many people don't realize how good the board is. I've never had any major problems, and I find it very stable.

[Schmetterling]

I have a DFI Expert but tbh i don't like it at all ... it doesn't like TCCD/TCC5 memory (It will corrupt my windows as soon as i pass > 255Mhz even thought sticks have been tested @ 310Mhz 2.5-3-3-6 on Ultra-D) and even with my BH-5 @ 250Mhz 2-2-2-5 i get random crashes which i've never had with the G.Skill in my sig. (Again, these sticks were tested @ 250Mhz 2-2-2-5 for hours in memtest and with prime and they never failed)

O, and another thing ... it seems that i can't run any memory in the yellow slots NOT even my BH-5 ... as the board will simply not boot then.

I've decided to ditch the expert and buy a Ultra-D and then mod it to a SLI-D and then i hope to get some rest at last :P

Expert + TCCD/TCC5 = No Go.

Expert + 2GB Kits & BH5 = it rules "As mentioned".

Ive had 2 and both worked perfect, Having 3 and they all die makes me wonder what u was doing with them.

But hay could happen i supose.

The previous owner of my BH-5 sticks had them rockstable at 250Mhz @ 2-2-2-5 (24h+ prime/memtest) but for some reason they fail to run decently here ... Well, i already knew TCCD/TCC5 is a no go unfortunatly, so far only my cheapass G.Skill is able to run 100% stable

But indeed, three boards dying is a bit weird ... mine works perfect except for the ram probs.

[stone_cold_Jimi]

Memory picky, the Expert. My G.Skill HZ is rock stable (what's that, UCCC?) at stock 250 3-4-4-8 1T. But my other Expert has Z503 Ballistix and that goes BSOD about once a week and needs retuning, it's a pain.
