3500+ Venice not over 240FSB

[mbm]

Have got an Asrock 939DUAL board and a 3500+ Venice.
Cant get past 240FSB on any multiplier.
Can it be my Venice?
People are hitting 300+FSB with this board.

[Daved+]

Are you giving it more volts?

[mbm]

im limited to 1.45V on my board.
I can run 240x11 but not 250x10
It will not boot at all on 250FSB.

Memory divider?
What HT multi are u using?

[Rickster_64]

Yes, check the HTT divider, make sure its set to at least 4. If you are going to try above 350 set it to 3. Also depending on your ram, try using the 166 memory divider AND set your memory timings manually. If its set to auto it will probably try to tighten the timings too far since you are using the divider.

I think you mean "above 250 set it to 3"

I take it since you made it to 240HTT you are using 4x :P
You might have to drop it to 3x to get closer to 250HTT.

That sucks big time... any vmods for it?

[mbm]

Have trieed lowering anything.
Locked the HTT on 600mhz (from advise)
running my memory on 333mhz + low timmings (I know my ram do nicely on other board)
Locked AGP/PCI-E
Is it possible it could be my Venice or is that not the problem?
It does 240x11 (2640mhz) but will not do 250x10 or 9 or 8 -Not boot at all.

[justwOo]

Your boards topping out...

[mbm]

is that for sure?
Other are hitting 300mhz+ on the board.
Some say it could be my Venice. But you dont think so?

[WOLF_OF_DK]

my Venice does the same it maxes out at 236 fsb on DFI SLI-D
it most be the memcontroller

[justwOo]

Wow those are the lowest topping out mem controllers I've ever seen if so

[WOLF_OF_DK]

Wow those are the lowest topping out mem controllers I've ever seen if so

It could be my BH-5 that maxes out at 235 @ 3,1V (tried up to 3,4 but it didnt help) and stop voltagescalling but i dont think that thats the case

im using yellows dimms and 704-2BT

not an expert on the A64 so it could be me

[mbm]

These Venice suck big time.

[duploxxx]

These Venice suck big time.

no way, get yourself a decent s939 board! Asrock 939DUAL is an ULI CHIPSET... WHAT DO YOU WANT? OC with cheapest thing that exist?
check the 1T (cpc) setting also at 240/250, change htt and memdivider and try again, same for WOLF_OF_DK


@WOLF_OF_DK change your mem devider, put it on 1/2 meening ddr200 of ddr400, change htt to 3 and check again.... its your htt or mem that is doing this certainly not the AMD!!!!!!

I have allways got the best mobos. Have only heared crap of "ASS"Rock.
But I have read very possitive things about this new board with the ULI chipset, so I purchased one.
As saying earlier; people are hitting 300mhz+ with this board.
Im trying to figure out what is holding me back?

It is maybe some setting in the bios. But I sure can find it.

I have tried running my memory at DDR200 and DDR333 with loose timings.
Im not sure what you mean by HTT x3? -This is not an option on the Asrock 939DUAL.
But I think its this (Auto-600-800-1000mhz) -I have tried both 600 and 800mhz.

Really want to get it to work. Or else I might just return both mobo and cpu.

[KILLorBE]

Can you increase chipset voltage?

Like duploxxx said maybe it won't do 1T at a certain speed, change it to 2T.

My DFI nF3 Ultra-D won't do 1T above 220 orso (didn't really check the exact limit, but it sure doesn't work @ 275 ).

[mbm]

As I said -tried loose timimgs. And that includes 2T.
No there isnt any option to increase chipset voltage.
So again it may be a faulty board?
Or a bad Venice?

[WOLF_OF_DK]

Tried:

chipset: 1,6V

HTT: 3 and 4

Memdivider: 250,200,183,166,150,140,133

Multiplier 9 and 10

running: 292x9 div 150 @ 1,55V (not maxed yet)

memory: OCZ 3200 Gold BH-5 runs 235 MHz @ 3,0V but not 240 tried upto 3,4V

memtest 5 runs for hours but memtest 6 fail i second pass

[mbm]

running: 292x9 div 150 @ 1,55V (not maxed yet)

Is the the Venice you are talking about?
If so you are at 292mhz

[WOLF_OF_DK]

Is the the Venice you are talking about?
If so you are at 292mhz

yes but memspeed still stock @ <240 no matter what i do

it cant be right that BH-5 completely stop voltagescalling @ 3,0V
they wont do anything above 236 MHz that cant be right

[mbm]

But I cant even do 240 stable with memdivider.
Its isnt even stable at stock speed. It must be the mobo.
Im returning the damm thing.

[MrSeanKon]

Xm I had a similar problem with my MSI K8N Neo2 and Venice 3200+...
I could not boot in Windows if FSB > 240 MHz...
I disabled SATA1+SATA2 in BIOS and I use SATA3+SATA4 and all are OK cos SATA1+SATA2 are unlocked...
So try this hope to solve your problem..

[nn_step]

Have got an Asrock 939DUAL board and a

theres your problem right there.. get a DFI/MSI and lock the IDE/Sata ports..
Then you will truely see the limit...

[mbm]

Or I could get maybe a 3000+ or 3200+ Then I could see what this mobos is up for?
