Help OC new TF7050-M2!!!

[banshee28]

A few suggestions.

1) Go back to the BIOS that was working for your A64 for over a year. Or if you'd rather fight it out...

2) Make sure RAM is at 2T and loose timings, try to isolate either the CPU or RAM at one time to see which one is being overstressed.

3) Are temps normal?

4) Use a full multiplier, silly I know but new BIOSs do silly things also, and they might hate .5's. Likewise keep RAM timings to the "big 3" 1:1 2:3 3:2. Using 5:6 etc have better chances of being buggy in my experiences.

Keep the HTT at 4x during the tests. Even drop it to 3 if you still have problems, although I doubt this is the problem as most boards can get to 1200 HTT with out breaking a sweat.

Let me know how it goes.

Hey Verisimilitude, thanks....

I guess I should have been more clear on my last statement..The Single core is a completely different system. I only mentioned that to say that I am pretty familiar with OC'g and various settings and testing stability!

2) Yep, I made sure my timings were loose and definitely 2T. I was really trying to isolate the CPU and RAM but thats when I was having issues lowering the CPU multi at first while increasing the ram. The settings\dividers for the RAM were not working too well for me.

3) Temps are great! Core temp 0.95 is showing 29-30 idle and always less than 50 under Orthos!

4) Yep, this MB only offers a full multi 4-12x. I choose the 12x, 11x, with a 4X HTT bus and tried to increase the RAM but it did not seem to work too well.

Checked out your other thread, quoting here for reference.

The problem is I am not able to use a simple "divider" and control the speed and timings of the ram. It seems like the ram divider changes based on the cpu Multi instead of the cpu speed. I can manually choose DDR 400-800, and it increases the divider, but also lowers the timings! Is there an option I am missing or how can I choose my own divider on the ram so I can keep it around 440MHz or so when the CPU is at its max. I am trying to get a Max 3Ghz clock (12x Multi, 250FSB, HTTx4) But at this rate the ram would be around 500MHz. So far I am only able to get about 2.75Ghz stable with a 390Mhz ram 4-5-5.....1T timings...

Skipping the novice things (like voltages etc). You have explored every menu and sub-menu of the BIOS? It usually takes me a good 30-45 minutes to go thru an entire BIOS (I like to know what options I have). Here is where I'd go from here:

1) First I'd try to boot at HTT 1200. If it works don't set it far from 1000, maybe the HTT multi is playing tricks with the other components.

2) I'd go thru everything in the BIOS

3) Most boards now use a MHZ for the Divider option, and you have something set to auto if it is messing with your timings. If you can't find it see if there is another older BIOS to fall back on.

Post a link to your board specs with your RAM and CPU if these don't work.


EDIT: 533 = 2:3 667 = 1:1 800 = 3:2
