Hello, I recently made the switch to A64 from my 3.4ghz P4. I am a little confused about some of the new settings for the A64. My setup is listed below. Please explain what the following settings should be set to. I will list what I currently have them set at below. I cannot get it to boot with anything over 215 fsb even if I lower the multiplier down to like 7, lower HT to 3x and raise the cpu and memory voltage!!! I hope I don't have a piece of junk motherboard or cpu. By the way I am using the stock cooler for now but the temps are reading 39 celsius. I need to know if my setup is not a good overclocker as soon as possible because if it sucks I will send it back since it is still within my first 30 days.
HT Frequency: 5x
Memory timing: 2T (options are 1T or 2T not sure what this is)
Also the following settings are more obvious but I want to make sure they are set correctly:
AGP Fastwrite: Disabled
AGP Frequency: 66mhz
Spread Spectrum: Disabled
Max Memory Clock: Auto
Cas:3
Ras to Cas:7
Min Ras active time:10
Row Precharge:6
High performance mode:disabled
Athlon 64 3500+ (939)
MSI K8n Neo2 Platinum (latest bios)
1 gig A-data pc-4200 2.85V loose timings
2 36gb Raptors raid 0
OCZ powerstream 520watt
Radeon 9800 pro (not overclocked)
