hey grayskull you are still alive, good to see you!!

**eXa** · 10-30-2006, 12:37 AM

Okay, primesstable for 4hours+ going to change to F@H now while im at work!

**eXa** · 10-30-2006, 02:16 AM

oh dont wanna be at work. want to go home and tweak more... try async 8. oh sleep a little would be sweet too, 4hours aint enough.

**eXa** · 10-30-2006, 04:03 PM

Ok Back in testing mode.

little more info about 133divider. It seemes it doesnt like the low speed on my ram with htt @ 200 or something, but if i set htt to 295(my rock stable setting) and then reboot and change to 133 it workes!

Hm tried 8 async but prime doesnt even fail @ 315, the machine just freezes... so that didnt help.

Lowerer multi to 8 and now im trying again. seemes more stable now...

Edit: Priming for long time now as i lowered multi to 8. is it just my cpu wich is holding med back????

Edit2: *slapss my forhead* daam, i primed at 295htt, forgott to upp to 315....

Edit3: well seemes stable at 315htt too... is it my cpu then?

Edit4: 320htt seemed stable too, just took a chance and went straight for 330htt...

Edit5: Well priming 340htt now... seemes like ive got some issuse with my cpu then... *depressed*

Edit: system froze @ 340htt. think ill call it a day. need sleep!

**eXa** · 11-01-2006, 06:46 PM

ok. trying with more voltage on the cpu now. lets see if its stable @ 315htt now!

Edit: Okay so a little more voltage was all that i needed. primed for an hour now. will try 320htt now!

**eXa** · 11-01-2006, 08:58 PM

What does "Dll disable" do?

**eXa** · 11-02-2006, 04:05 PM

Okay, im stuck. been testing 325htt all night but no matter what i do i cant get it stable.
When u start priming it starts with 1024k FFT length and then moves on to 8k
but 1 core (the same) always fail in the first minute in the 8k FFT lenght test.
Ive tried alot but nothing makes a difference. Using 1.5v now.
Cant my cpu do even 2.9ghz?

anyone got any idea?

Priming 320htt now just to really check if its stable there...

**learners permit** · 11-04-2006, 04:24 PM

My 165 peaks at 318X9 not a mhz higher no matter what I try.

**eXa** · 11-04-2006, 04:43 PM

what stepping? im going to try with more voltage to see if its that it wants. used 1.5v last time i tried. but think maybe i need to improve cooling. really weak pump!

**eXa** · 11-08-2006, 02:01 PM

Startet testing a bit more. Seemes like my cpu just hit a wall and refuses to move on. trying to get 325 stable but it wont. Trying with 1,56v now. Maybe its heat that does it? Core temp shows 53c on core 0 and 65c on core 1 interresting enough, its always core 0 who fails. It fails in 8k length on prime95

Man, start to really belive that this cpu needs to strip! so big difference between idle and load!

hope a new pump gives me some better temps!

**eXa** · 11-08-2006, 02:54 PM

i give up... atleast for now!

setteling with 320htt. Using a64info to get the right ram speed (150divider\240fsb) Maybe if i buy a ddc-2 petra and storm later, ill try more!

**Rolle2k** · 11-08-2006, 03:27 PM

i really would love to have that 150divider in the bios.. it's a really big step without it

**eXa** · 11-08-2006, 08:00 PM

Yeah!

**Rolle2k** · 11-13-2006, 11:56 AM

Okay i just found out that my booting issue above 315HTT was not because of high HTT but rather because that i changed ramdivider to 133... does anybody have any idea of why my rig doesnt like running 133 divider?

**eXa** · 11-13-2006, 12:10 PM

hmm trouble with 133 u too? tried tref?

Edit: Tref should match divider. default is 200 7,8 so i tried 133 7,8 but had to use 133 15,6....

**Rolle2k** · 11-13-2006, 02:36 PM

hmm, will try that later... but why can't anybody just add a 150 divider into the bios

**eXa** · 11-13-2006, 05:32 PM

dont wait for it from sapphire atleast. And i think grayskull is kinda almost finnished with 939 and all over am2 but i dont know!

It aint like dfi where u get a new bios every week!

i kinda settled with it. Almost never turn of my computer so i can live with it. Just use A64info to tweak the last bit after i started up....

This is on a production Sapphire A9RD580 that I dusted off and I am writing this message at these speeds. I just wanted to see what good ole Manta would do before taking a stab at Sturgeon (AM2). As you can see, it's not too shabby. Especially for all air cooling.

The trick here is that the async latency needs to change near ~HTT=320MHz to 8ns. After that, it needs to change again at ~HTT=360MHz to 9ns. Then again at ~HTT=390MHz to 10ns. Your results may vary, but the whole point of the board is that it has all the knobs to tune whatever you need.

It's good to see people using the boards as they were intended.

1.48GHz HT Link so far...

damn 1.6Ghz... way to fast

AM2 Crossfire

150 divider IS possible with the AMI bios.. i mailed Tony about this and he gave me the answer... just select the 166 divider, and then under the ram settings put the option "Odd Divisor Correct" to enabled, and then you will be running on the 150 divider.. the bios at boot will still say it's 166 running, but if you check your ramspeed with cpu-z or so, then you will se the right speed.
Running 330x9 stable now

**eXa** · 11-16-2006, 02:44 PM

Woot!

is that whats its for! nice!

do you know wich speed i get with the other dividers?

**Rolle2k** · 11-16-2006, 03:50 PM

I actually have no idea... but this was really great for me.. as the 133 divider wouldn't boot for me then i could run 2.8GHz at max (if i didn't want to run the rams on the 100 divider)..

Very nice!

Thank you very much for that info

I would be more active here if it wasn't for my defect RAM wich has a tendency to corrupt and rape my disk..

Keep OC'ing

**eXa** · 11-17-2006, 03:49 PM

Ah nice, enabled odd diversor corect and bumped the htt a bit. works like a charm. just like 150divider.
