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

Aah this was a better day .

I am such a newbie I am shooting blind but I am up and running at 3,6 gig at 1,35 vcore... Real vcore is probably way lower...

No idea if it´s stable yet will try it over the night but I feel if I can boot windows with air at 1,35 I should be able to get 3,6 out of it for sure. If not before but by then I get my watercooling .

If I get 3,6 stable I will be happy I don´t have to run for that extra 200 mhz but I will take it if I get it .

One thing it seems my Team Xtream RAM like the white slots better then the blue? Is there different timings on each channel? I got no post with memory in blue slots but it booted with them in the white slots.

Trouble with 9x350 on blue but now 9x400 instantly on white with no changes. DDR RAM is set to 800 mhz. I have no idea what settings to opt for lol for. Higher FSB or tighter timings? Currently running 4-4-4-4-10 stock timings on the RAM.

Also another thing. What is this terminating voltage? I get a warning about DDR II termination voltage being 1.07??? I know I set the termination voltages in bios but I have no clue what it´s good for.

Also wondering my SATA harddrives should I run them as AHCI or IDE? I have a pair of harddrives I will run as raid does that mean I need to run all drives as "raid"? Does that have any impact on performance on the drives that are not in raid configuration?

Also while booting. Is it normal with the Commando doing a couple of false starts before it really goes?

I also read somewhere it´s actually recommended to overclock the pci e bus for increased stability. I am running 115 now...

Quite a new world this for an AMD guy

hmm orthos is weird... Running 3dmark06 no problems. 12100 points.

Running orthos failing after 2 seconds. Honestly it was rather 1/10th of a second Running the standard blend test is that the best?

I think prime is quite useless often. prime95 on my opty could fail after 4 minutes it being totally stable anyway...

Well I think orthos ( small fft's )stress's the cpu a lot more than 3dmark06, I would stick with orthos for the fact you can run it for hours to test if you sytem is stable and 3dmark does not run very long

booting and be stable is totally different I can easily boot when OCing but my cpu will not be stable

Try running your termination voltage all at there lowest settings -30

Yes you will have to choose raid in the bios and then set up the raid after you save and reboot and press ctrl+I

Yes sometimes when OCing can't say when it exactly happends but the computer will start up, shut down right away and start up.
