amd 5200+ windsor 2.6 socket am2

sorry, by "lower" I meant "looser" , that means from 6ns that you have set it to 7 and double check your voltage settings, dont use auto voltage! To be sure, give the chipset abd LDT little more juice and start with a safe setting on the cpu and a try to find the max of your ram, double check your dividers and stuff ... than do it the other way around, for memory stability use memtest for windows to at least 400% coverage, 1000% to be sure and for cpu stability go for StressPrime Orthos beta, good luck

[the_mistah]

i put a divider on my ram so i can try to get the maximum OC on my cpu im at 3.1GHZ and 1.45V.......when i run StressPrime Orthos beta in 5 minutes my comp just shuts down no restart or freeze just shuts down, i have to press and hold the power button so my comp starts up again what do u guys think is my problem ? i keep thinkin its my power supply and i know its not heat im watercooled and my temps dont go over 50c under stress

i had the same problem on the 590 with watercooling. place a fan blowing air on the digital power chip heatsink. that cured my dual prime instant off.

[the_mistah]

Digital power chip? where is it located at? so u dont think its my Psupply?

[guess2098]

i have one tested on 3G but not yet post out...

[ZL1Killa]

anyone running this cpu on a cfx3200m2/g board? the am2 socket one...since i gotta be specific

[the_mistah]

i tried running orthos and my comp just turns off.....while OC when should i start to lower the multiplier??

this can happen when feeding the cpu too little vcore.
try higher vcore and run Orthos again.
Since you're watercooling i bet you can push the vcore higher

[the_mistah]

i upped it to 1.5v and its still shut down i even lowered the OC and it still shut down...

[the_mistah]

i checked my temps in the bios and my temp is around 50C is that temp normal if im watercooled ? im using tdx block from danger den with as5

[mAJORD]

sure sounds like you have another underlying prob. Upping it to 1.50 should yeild at least some improvement. ( I go from 3.1 stable @ 1.45 (droops lower) to 3.2@ 1.55)

the digital voltage regulator is the long aluminum heat sink, upper right hand corner. have you tried a fan blowing on it. Temp is good but may go higher under heavy stress

Lol, then system is not stable. Is ram set to 2T? Set fsb to 200, ht to 3x, ram to 400 to take it out of equation. Set vcore to the max you allow, then use Clockgen from windows to raise fsb while running orthos. Raise fsb in 5mhz steps until orthos errors out. Then lower fsb 5mhz and you should be very close to max cpu overclock...

my ram is at 1t and wut do u mean ht 3x? i went ahead and put a fan over the digital voltage regulator and temps went from 50c to 32c .....it worked no more shut downs thanx for all the people who helped me with the shut off problem now ill see how far i can push this chip...

[mAJORD]

definantly try 2T. I can't do a damn thing on 1T with mine. absolute unstable pig at even 2.8-2.9 I don't know if it's the ram or what. Not too fussed about it though.

[the_mistah]

when i try to encode a video with vidomi it uses both cores and i cant perform any multitaskin.....is there a settin i overlooked in windows?

[the_mistah]

another thing when im in orthos my voltages drop to 4.84 and it suppose to be 5.0 do i need a 600 watt PS

I dunno if this helps, but I run a VERY similar setup on one of my daily rigs. The only difference is that I'm using a PCP&C 510 SLI.....I really don't think psu's have been paid enough attention to recently. A stable system ALWAYS starts at the psu. Maybe that's why I own 3 PCP@C 510's, a PCP@C 1kw, a Zippy 750, etc... FYI, this pic is probably a bit OVERVOLTED as I had just run Orthos using prior settings which ensured stability.....(and YES, 7 hours is enough stability for me....actually that's as long as I think I've EVER run Orthos )

[the_mistah]

so i need a more powerful PS?

[MadZalmanModder]

my buddy has the same chip and motherboard in a system i built for him. using a zalman cnps 9700 and inducing cold air using a duct system (which i installed for him) I was able to over clock his system to 3.21GHz. it was a month or two ago so i do not remember what the bios settings were. the system continues to be stable and during heavy gaming reaches 30c for core 1 and 35c for core 2 on room temp induction. Idle temps are 15-20c core 1/17-25c core 2. when the port is hooked to the window mount, he has reached temps as low as 7c/12c idle on nights when the temps outside hit 0c or lower

[the_mistah]

so i need a better power supply that an antec sp500????

[the_mistah]

my system is stable in orthos but it acts weird sumetimes like i cant open another window while in photo shop....i took a pic of cpuz and my temps to see if any1 finds something wrong in my settings or that i should change...

Give it more Vcore. I bet another 0.05V will fix it. Similar thing happened with my X2 3800+, stable for 24hrs @ 2.7GHz 1.4V running Orthos and 3DMark06 looping. However I would get weird errors in Quickpar and DVDs would burn with errors. I upped the voltage to 1.45V and that fixed everything.

[the_mistah]

is it true that my ht link should be at or lower than 1000mhz? are my voltages running too low? thanx 4 all the replies

Oh yeah, lower your HTT multiplier as well. It should be under 1000 at all times. Increasing it makes no difference in terms of performance so don't worry if you have to use the 3x multiplier.
