well im not sure i can do that since its not doing it at stock

if it happens once at stock i will go replace it

[d4d4cH]

ok i did some testing...core1 goes to 3ghz, core2 goes to 2.8ghz, core3 goes to 2.7ghz, and core4 goes to 2.6ghz...thats at stock 1.30-1.32...so...its either some crap on the mobo, or the stepping is bad...hopefully someone can come with a suggestion...whats the other voltages on the mobo...like HT and stuff...should i leave them at default?

[Brother Esau]

Use my Template on the First Page and just Make sure CPU Voltage is @1.30 and CPU-NBVlotage is @1.30

[d4d4cH]

i dont have the same ram as you...wont the settings for dram be different then?

[Brother Esau]

Well I would assume that you would put you're own RAM settings in lieu of mine.\
You know that could be the problem right there in a nut shell as 4x1gb is very hard on the Board and compounds the OC quite a bit. Try removing 2 sticks amd leave dimm 1-3 installed and then try overclocking and see if it goes easier as I am sure it will

[AlabamaCajun]

I'm starting to think my problem was the GSkills not being a good match for AMD. They are great ram but for 2 790FX boards and 2 Phenoms that the machines they were in had problems with OC. One set is in a Sintel doing great but that's for another threas.
I now have the Corsairs in any ran it at 2.55G and 1.285V Today I dropped it to 1.2375V. Still XP64 and looking promissing with a one hour test of Orthos which used to kill it in 10-15 mins.

I'm just taking my time and enjoying what I have so far which is the best rig I've had so far. Later this week I'll walk this thing up to see where to sweet spot is. Still 2.8G is my goal but, I'll take 2.65G-2.75G

[d4d4cH]

same results with 1, 2, 3, 4 sticks in :S

[DualCore]

wasup bros ! give me a little advise :P what is the best memory to put in this mobo ? 800mhz or 1066 and what brand ?

[illogical]

You won't do much better than what you already have.

[AlabamaCajun]

d4d4ch, I'm limited to the 2nd and 4th slot. I'm sure the corsiars are stable, the DDR2-1000 is a problem.

In "DualCore"'s case, I don't know if the 1000 Reapers are going to work any better. The problem is, you can't get the TRC high enough ( above 26) to run at 1000 speeds. All BIOS versions I've seen are borked and locked at 26.

[Brother Esau]

Get the Reapers I have and use Tony's SPD File

[AlabamaCajun]

Yes Master, "succumbs to the hallucinating effects of Bros sig".

I'm just waiting for Newegg to drop the MIR, still waiting on the reber on the Corsairs back in March.

Edit; Chiefvalue has them, no reber .

[Brother Esau]

I got mine from ZipZoomFly.com

[AlabamaCajun]

$99 shipped from CV. Edit: Borked search engine included the 800s, glad I didn't pull that trigger.
I'm going to drop a Veloceraptor 300G 10KRMD drive in also.
Something is definitely better, I was able to post at 2.82G and 1.25V but it hung up a after the XP splash. 1.325V got me almost to the login.
I rolled back to 2.57G for now at 1.25V. I'm using the clock set to 207x12.5 to OC as I'm not been able to get the multi above 12.5 at boot, keeps booting at 12.5 no matter what I set. Once I get the reefers, I'll use your settings as it may just be the ram controller getting in the way.

I'm finally starting seeing what this thing can do now and not seeing the problems I had at first. Sure overclocking may fail but I can now judge where the edges are.

where is tonys spd file out of curiosity?

I'm having quite of a problem :

A64 6400+
790FX-M2R latest official Bios
2x1GB PC8500 Balistix Tracer
eVGA 8800GTX ACS3
750W Silencer
Windows XP Pro SP2

I installed everything (drivers etc) and I had a kind of "lag" in the sound, video and games every x seconds. I decided to format and to test after each bios installation, it seems that it comes with the installation of the video driver (latest nvidia - for sound also the latest driver).

Has someone ever had the same problem ? Could be video memory that's too hot ? (I don't think so as it works fine without installing drivers)... ?!

[Pla123]

I'm using the clock set to 207x12.5 to OC as I'm not been able to get the multi above 12.5 at boot, keeps booting at 12.5 no matter what I set.

I had same problem till I disabled qool-n-quiet
You sure your qool-n-quiet is not still enabled in bios (by default it is) ?

[Pla123]

Finally had time to OC...
2.9Ghz passed first 20 min stability test (Everest), but failed second 1h test (idle ) on firefox start

Now happy at 2.8Ghz.
This is my stepping: JAAFB AA 0810 GPBW

Reduced voltage from 1.3 to 1.275 (in bios) and seems to work the same.

However, Everest shows the voltage is 1.25, although for 1.3 it was showing 1.3
Anyone observed similar voltage problems?
Is my voltage 1.275 or 1.25 ?
Is reporting wrong or voltage dropped more than specified in bios?

I've seen issues with this. If I lower Vcore to 1.235 then later raise it to 1.25 it will stay at 1.235. What I found I had to do after I've made one are two adjustments and return to do more, is I have to write down what I have set the hit F7 (Opt Defaults) in the PWM screen then set my values that I want and save, then it works. Good clocks at 1.275. I've been unsuccessful at getting to 2.8 stable even at 1.325.

[Pla123]

So what is the actual voltage - 1.275 or 1.25?

Bios still shows 1.275 but Everest reports 1.25

I tried 2.9 at 1.3 but it failed idle -> browser test, although load test was ok...

First of all, sorry for my poor english...I Should try to explain my problem:

I Have this Components:

UT 790FX- M2R
Phenom 9850BE
4gb DDR2 GSKILL 4-4-4-12
XFX 8800 GTS 320MB
Last Bios of the motherboard (05/05/08)- I Tried first the default BIOS-

My problem is that I can´t put 9850 over 2700 mhz...I´ll tried a few things that I readed in that forum but the problem persist... when I change the multiplier 13,5 to 14 (200x14)the system "froze" in windows...

I tried to up the vcore, disconnect TLB FIX, Relax the timmings, down HTT etc.....

Some help please...

Thak you very much... again sorry for my english...

[Rammsteiner]

Welcome to the forum

That problem isn't uncommon, I've the same problems. And I tried a lot of things, only thing left for me is waiting for the new RS780D/SB750 boards (also known as 790GX/SB750). That 'should' fix these issues, but it might be a very poor batch as well, which I dont hope of course.

Could you please tell us what Windows you actually have?

when you up the vcore, don't forget to up the cpu-nb voltage also, they should match. it took me 1.4v to get 2.8ghz and 1.5v for 3.0ghz. you don't have to really relax ram timings if you're just increasing the multiplier.

Thanks!!... I´m going to try now...
