Commando Results by Tony and Andre (and others...)

[Baer]

The commando killed a stick of 8500c5d as well. ´never went higher than 2.3but the ram undervolts compared to BIOS.

I am using the same Ram. I am at 2.2 V in the Bios. Should I drop it some?

I am now running stock speeds on my team 400mhz with 2.0v

timings

but when I tried to start up from a cold boot .. no go, I had to remove 1 module to get the computer to boot I am now running 2.1v which seems to be fine, it was stable with the lower V but no cold boot up why is this

happy to say I am now running 2 80mm fans over my ram sticks

is it normal for temps dropping 20 degrees just by lowering vcore 0.1 V? How trustworthy is Asus Probe?

[sreedx2]

That does not sound right, try using core temp, tat, speedfan and everest

probe should be pretty accurate though

This is my experience so far

I have been running Vista since I first got my C2D and Commando, speedfan,cpu-z and etc did not read two cores but when I open up device manager I see two cores. I noticed this right away but did not think anything of it until I found a thread on OCN about it but this guy was using windows xp at that point I searched and searched until I finally found something on an amd forum which happened in RC 1 which involved changing some files halmacpi.dll to be exact. NOW I have speedfan,task manager, cpu-z and etc all showing 2 cores, it got me wondering device manager showed two so the whole time was I just stressing one core , when orthos opens up it would just run one thread.

I was playing with some OC settings and decided to run some orthos blend, nope fail instantly so hmm went back to the bios changed some settings .. nope fail again but I knew when I ran small fft's she was stable before showing 2 cores, so tried that and no go failed instantly.

I just tried to bump the OC down a little but still having no luck so finally I have have her stable at 360x9 3.2ghz my team group running at 4-4-4-4 2.1v
orthos fft's and blend stable, one thing I noticed now when I am close to and above 1.5 my core temps skyrocket using orthos... before around 48C max now would jump up to 53C right away

Started playing some half life last night and it was lagging so bad .. what the heck is going on, so I upped the pci freq from 100 to 105 I noticed some people say lock some boards to 105 but before the changes were made I was running 100 fine ?

AFTER ALL BEING SAID I would have to say I am pretty sure before I changed the files it was just stressing one core

Calling all Commando and C2D owners or anyone this applies to

If you have not already read my post read it and respond back if programs like speefan, task manager, cpu-z, etc only show one core ????

here are two different examples of the problem

i have a problem with my commando..

today i update my bios 0803 to 0902. And before the update i test my system with 3dmark06. score is 6,8k. after the update i test my system again and score is 4,8k

i understand why my results are bad. pcie@1x How can i change this ?



my system

E6600@ 3.6ghz
Asus Commando
Crucial Ballistix PC6400
HIS ATI X1900XTX

Try raising Vnorth and set PCIe Freq @110MHz...

thx but nothing change..

i set pcie freq auto and pcie clock sync auto pcie multiplier become 16x. i cant unterstand but now it's 16x
