2. Add CPU Core Control option

Which means that we will able to do something like aod, but via bios??

[stetsonaw]

f8c beta bios ?

8C 2009/11/03

1. Beta BIOS
2. Add CPU Core Control option

oooh, shiny! not one to beta test a bios, but looks good for something down the line!

[Stanley Pain]

The new beta seems to have updated the SATA controller bios as well. It's MUCH newer.

[Bullet92]

Another result. Now improved 1M but still have some air to improve it

never seen a typing mistake in a bios before, manual anyone? lol

F8C

[ah_khoo]

my 1st ever 330HTT oc on deneb... too bad scarifyin ram freq is a must in order to achive such HTT...

[charged3800z24]

F8c seems to have messed up my sleep sates, system takes 5 mins to resume windows now. Might be a fluke, but not sure. Been 3 times in a row.

[ceemic]

Yesterday I tried first time a little OC with UD5P and 965 C3. Just a reference run to my own: http://ceemic.pri.ee/amd/15.907.JPG
Tried also to add FSB but can't go over 205FSB; with SetFSB nor BIOS. What might hold it back?

[Bullet92]

Get F3L BIOS or F8C (newest) and try again.
What FSB are you talking about? You mean HTT?

Leave SetFSB, it's not AMD tool. Get AOD and please, first boot at some higher HTT option and than tell that the board won't go over 205MHz what's impossible
Ceemic my friend, this is not Intel, need to play with all step by step.

[sponge bob]

i cant get AOD to work- failed to start, how can i manualy tweak HT link in windows ?

[Bullet92]

I have that problem on one of my XP OSes and I think some service is missing. What's your setup anyway? And OS?

fresh xpp, fxt-ud5p with f3l , and some nice clocking d9GTR chips+ 1kw silverstone PSU

[Bullet92]

What version of AOD do you running?

[sponge bob]

newst from ATI/AMD website, 3.1 :/

[Bullet92]

Try with other version (older 3.0)

Yeah I ment bus.
Tried now F7, F8C and F3L and found strange anomaly. When NB is 24xx then bus goes over 220MHz no problem, but when NB is 26xx or higher, then also hard to pass 205MHz.
Also found that F3L didn't have CPU NB VID Control option and without it couldn't go over 24xx NB

Quick test on +6C ambient:

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=854431

I still need to learn that board before LN2...
Also waiting Elpidas and D9GTR's for better perf.

[Bullet92]

Strange... F3L have all BIOS settings as other ones but without unlocking feature.

Look at this picture just ignore SB/HT, NB/PCIe and NB voltage. There was no need to set them +0.1v and NB at 1.36 because it's working with 1.2V too. First I used +0.4V for CPU-NB but later I tested it and realize that there's no need for such a high voltage and +0.25 was enough for same frequency.

I think you're doing something wrong there.
If you use GTR's use the higher memory divider (1600) with elpida use lower (1333 or lower) for better memory results.

[ceemic]

Bullet92, damn, You are right. I somehow missed that setting. And as I said before I couldn't pass 25xxNB without adding voltage to CPU NB VID Control.

Did You run NB@3080MHz with air? That might be CPU related...

[Bullet92]

Yap, all air and ofc it is CPU related and yeah, for passing 2.5GHz on NB rising CPU-NB VID is needed.

Check this thread. It's on Croatian but you don't need to understand language - just look at pics
All is on air, cooled with TRUE, ambient temperature was ~20°C. You have those results on this thread (back to previous page).

[ceemic]

Bullet92, tnx my friend!
Just learning: http://ceemic.pri.ee/amd/17.187.JPG
280xMHz screen crashed on saving.
And it 26,8*C ambient (measured with calibrated thermometer 50cm from PC case)
Perf is a lot better also (on 24/7 OS)

Too bad I didn't try these settings earlier on colder ambient.

[neo mike]

Ok question guys, anybody have cpu cooler issues with fan hitting ram ? this sucks, i have noctua U12P i want the fan on the ram side to blow air out the back of case, but it hits top of ram anybody else having issues with cpu cooler ? now im going to have to take this thing back, and i really like it, darn this thing is whisper quite, and cools pretty good. Can i run my ram in the white slots ? what is the difference between blue slots or white, this sucks.

I haven't had any issues with heatsinks hitting my ram as long as it didn't have high heat spreaders. On the blue vs white, I found the white are best for tweaking.

[neo mike]

Ok well i have high heat spreaders on my ram and its hitting the fan, i will try switching the ram to white slots, and it clocks same, then problem is solved, thanks.


Well update, tried the white slots, to me there worse, cant get it to post at same speeds tried everything, have to go back to blue slots, now im on the hunt for a taller cpu cooler with more clearance on the bottom.

[sponge bob]

http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=928470 my phenom result on gigabyte, hwbot top 6 , not bad , put i still have issues, how can i get nb to run past 4 ghz ? and allso i cant boot over 200 mhz ht :s

I used the F3L bios. Which one you using?
