Dual Core Opteron Thread #2

[freakBYnature]

This is a vdroop you mention above but i am talking about idle values.

Vdroop - when volt is HIGHER than what it should be? I assumed vdroop was that it was lower than set.

If we consider that all the hardware on the system works fine then,from what i know at defaults this mobo adds 0.005v for the NOS and AI Booster futures to be able to reach the 10% overclock.

If i enable OverVoltage CPU VCore in BIOS then the system adds 0.2V which is too much voltage,at least this is what happen on my mobo.

Also this is what i have read in all forums for the A8N32-SLI deluxe mobo.

Yeah, 0.205V to be excact... but enabling overvolt makes it more dead solid than not, so what you do if you want 1.5V is that you set vcore to 1.3V and overvolt on, which is 1.3 + 0.205 = 1.505V

alright i double checked my motherboard but i do not have overvolt enabled.

between the programs i use*speedfan, cpu-z, coretemp* all show the voltage and out of all of em Coretemp has the exact value as the bios.

After an OC, if the computer locks up or fails orthos in the 1st 5mins on a core, what does this mean?

Probably the consequence of you putting on a 250 divider on RAM, if not you should lower your OC or raise volts... mem timings can be FUBAR as well.

i did lower the voltage last night * i was trying to see how low i can keep my voltage. and also see what my max FSB for this motherboard is.

my memory timing is 1t 3-4-4-12 with my stock timings @ 2-3-2-5
divider was @ 250 but i changed it to 233

This can make any motherboard unstable, setting dividers like that. The highest SMART divider (actually CPU 1:1) is 200 or DDR400 (which are the same and isn't a divider at all). Going below this is great, but not above. So setting it to 233 or 250 makes the bandwith go down.

And by the way, PC4000 or if you want DDR500 is tested with an FSB of 250... not a divider 250, so if you want your CPU to be stock and your RAM to go stock as well you'd be much better off with lowering your cpu-multi, leaving RAM at 200 and raising FSB to 250!
