Official Winchester OC Thread!

[Poki]

Hey Charlie, take it into windows w/133 ram divider and hit the 150 divider with the a64 tweaker! That should help some atleast.

[shinymod]

in good news: i found out i hadnt had the agp/pci lock on :/ it's only on at 67mhz agp apparently, and the bios i have was set to 66 default. so now i have 2650mhz superpi stable (pics later)
however, in bad news: this OCZ RAM is getting on my nerves. it wont even do 280fsb without errors in superpi , and it'll only do 275 (its rated speed) at 2T. i think i may replace it already... unless anyone has any tips to get it up to say 290 fsb or so? or to get it running at 1T... also the SATA hard drive now totally refuses to format... so i'll be replacing that too.
EDIT: i have some BH-5 that i'll try later. only 512MB though. by the way... is it safe to run the k8n neo2 and these chips with big vdimm? (like 3.6V or so) because i'd heard of the memory controllers on 64s dieing if you use too much vdimm....

[charlie]

And whats a benchable speed on air? spi 1m or 8m or sumthing please

here's bit better, a window open in my room

Peter, tips/tricks to get your ram that high? I have the same ram and board as your but I can only get it to 255 2.5-3-3-7.

[garyts]

Charlie,

Why not do 255*11 and run your memory at 1:1, couldn't that improve stability rather than using the divider? Is there something I'm missing? I'm somewhat new to this stuff.

Thanks,
gary

Dang! Nice one

[shinymod]

Don't feel bad, I think there are a lot of lucky people here. My winnie 3200 will only run 2400 at 1.65 vcore on MSI neo2. I'm cooled with XP-90 + Tornado so I don't think that is the problem. htt at 240, 3x HT, 1:1 PQI TCCD 2.5-3-3-7. I can boot at 2600 but it take 1.8 vcore and its not bench stable...

I cant even get to 2.5 on my winnie with an Asus A8V 2.0 with ddr500 kingmax ram

[LorD_Kvadd]

Damn.. Hope that mine 3000+ winnie will be a good one... =/ Alot of different OCs here.

[LorD_Kvadd]

Nforce 3=Platinum, thats the one. Got one on its way home with a 3200+

[NiCKE^]

Isnt easier to let the one there started the thread add all result in the first post? It's such a waste of time to look throught all posts

[fr33ze]

definately keeping a keen eye on this thread, think a winchester might be my next upgrade, bout time to.

nice clocks everyone, looking pretty safe to assume that 2.5ghz is a very realistic target

[trans am]

peter lu, what is the date on that 3200+?

[LorD_Kvadd]

Rauf : Thnx m8 herregud fler svenskar?

Looks like one 3000+ or 3200+ winnie and one Neo K8n Platinum gonna be ordered

[Jethro]

IM looking a winchester to make use of my xtreme water cooling now is that higher multi on the 3500+ worth it? Paired with Mushkin Lvl2 v2?

[jjcom]

I'd say that the 3500 multi might be nice.

[peter lu]

peter lu, what is the date on that 3200+?

it's 0433SPMW

[Jethro]

Not enough info as to particualar steppings to look for yet? generally newer seems better no?

[Onepagebook]

Nicely done Peter!
