DFI SLI-DR stuck at 300HTT?

[pduan87]

Been playing around with my new setup and it seems like I can't get past 300HTT? I'm running:

3000+ Venice
1 Gig Mushkin Lvl2 BH5 (borrowed)
2x Diamondmax 10 (RAID 0)
SLI-DR
PCI Video card

I went to go test my maximum HTT by setting HT link at 3x, CPU multi at 5x, and ram divider at 1:2.

Went into windows, started up Prime with in-place ftt test and clockgen'd my way up. I would get to about 298mhz, be fine, and the moment I set it up to 300 Prime would instantly error. Everything is running at default with 3-10 bios. Did I get a dud board or am I doing something wrong?

Doubtful on the dud board. I'd think more along the lines of a "maxed out" cpu. Not even a dud per se. Just some chips have limits at XXXX speeds while others do more. All luck of the draw. You could try some more things like increasing voltage to the cpu, memory, and or messing with the dram drive strength function.

Don't think multi x5 worked too good on these boards? Tried diff multi? HT link 2.5x maybe? Also how about HTT voltage and NB voltage? Few more options to try definitely.

Same problem here , board won't go higher then 300-320MHz does not matter if i use HTT x3 or x2.5 or x2.0 . Chipset voltage increase won't help . Lowering CPU multi - same thing . RAM set at DDR200(100MHz) so its not a problem .
If i set
Max Async Latency : 8.0
ReadPreamble : 7.0

board will let me go up to 350MHz . And thats not enough in my case cause i was planing to throw that Venice under my Vapo LS and now that doesnt make sense cause i am limited by the mobo That sucks ...

Try thouse , might help a lil bit :

Max Async Latency : 8.0
ReadPreamble : 7.0
