LSD:,
can you make a mod for F3G on UD5?

[Lsdmeasap]

Ya, give me a second and I'll post it to that thread

[Demo]

How low can a PLL voltage go till it really makes the system totally unstable. 1.50v? or this is purely CPU dependent ?

[Lsdmeasap]

1.3 sometimes!

[Demo]

Alright, I got some issues that I need help with though.

Using Bios F3B
4.8Ghz , 100.33Mhz BCLK
Mem at 1333Mhz 9-9-9 2T
All voltages in auto except for;
Vcore, Manual at 1.455v CPU-Z reads it at 1.416 and 1.428 depending in whats going on with prime BLEND
CPU PLL Internal overvoltage OFF
Powersaving off,HT off
PLL is at 1.70v

I get a BSOD in blend test either error code 123 or 400 (???)

What should I try next, lower PLL ? maybe hit 1.600v?



EDIT:

Right now im seting PLL 1.600v and the CPU temps dropped a few c! I should probably try to see if my CPU can do 1.3v

[Leeghoofd]

play with VTT and System Agent voltage (i used 1.2 and 1.005 volt), i'm able to do this kind of frequency with all of my Hyper kits and all my CPUs.
the problem is that on this board there is no way to make a damn super-pi 32m, after 1 or 2 seconds windows freeze.

can they do 32M with 7-8-7-21 ?

I had similar probs on the M4E and UD5, turns out to be a lesser stick. 3D is no sweat, but 32M locks up , errorred out... Not even at 1.8 does it do 7-7-7-21, the other two do 2133 7-7-7-21 at 1.7Vdimm, 2200 CL7-8-7-21 1.74...

On other platforms the bad stick works great...

Demo, you may need to enable CPU PLL Overvoltage since you are on a high multiplier.

Probably not needed since you can boot that multi, but it would be worth testing to be sure if it helps with stability or not.

[Demo]

What version of this Pi testing are you guys using ?

Demo, you may need to enable CPU PLL Overvoltage since you are on a high multiplier.

I'll give that a try, the chip I have now can only boot at a max of x49 w/o PLL over voltage ( which IMHO sucks )

I have the PLL running below 1.80 would that PLL over voltage still help even at lower than stock PLL?

What I hate about Prime blend is that it takes ages!


EDIT:

After 47mins Core 2 failed



Right now im clueless on what to change.. its more of a guess work on my end..

llc on?

[Lsdmeasap]

Pll and PLL overvoltage have nothing to do with each other, but I don't know how that would affect using low PLL and PLL overvoltage enabled.

[Demo]

Yes LLC is on, Ill try PLL over voltage as well.

[Hondacity]

rounding error im guessing is memory...what is vdimm?

STOCK 1.500v
1333Mhz 9-9-9 2T
G.Skill 6-8-6 1600Mhz 2x2GB kit.

Oh yeah the UD4 has some LEDs going on when in POST manual says its the phase led but goes out after post.. do we need to install some software for those lights to show up again in windows?

[Hondacity]

is that p67 kit? did you try xmp profile?

[Demo]

is that p67 kit? did you try xmp profile?

Yes the P67 Kit, XMP profile also gives it 1.500v and VTT at 1.050 , For now Im not using the XMP profile just to eliminate the memory as one of the variables.

[Hondacity]

you haven't ruled out memory by not using xmp...

use xmp to rule out memory...

[Demo]

I dont see how running the memory faster will rule it out of the equation but I'll do that since im the one seeking help.

I've rebooted and its not running at XMP profile 1
Would it matter if the memory profile was under standard/turbo/extreme?

Will now run blend test.. and gonna wait for hours or so..

The voltage read out photo you posted on the previous page, is that the only read out pin or any of the 2nd pin on that entire column will work ?

[Hondacity]

if you're talking about the side of the inductor...yes they're all the same point. im not sure if you can access between inductors...
the lower part i think is for vccsa but you can still measure the voltage from there..just insert your ground probe to psu ground(molex).

as for rams..i've seen two kits go bad..from the xs forums...both from gskills..so i still suggest test rams first if they can do xmp. if they fail memtest...they're worth rma'ing

if the mems pass then its time for other tests...

[Demo]

Just to make sure I got it, all the points I've marked with green can be used for voltage read outs right?

As for the RAM's what app do you recommend I use to test them with, Mem86+ ? How many hours/any specific test to loop? and should i test it at stock 3.4Ghz speeds with XMP profile?

[Hondacity]

1.yes .....im not sure about the bottom one...just look at the capacitor...the blue marking is grnd...other side is read point..
2. me86 is ok
3. yes..id test it at 3.4ghz ..with xmp ...

[Demo]

For Mem86 how many hours would you recommend any specific tests to loop ?

[Leeghoofd]

Test ram with HCI Memtest (you need to run multiple instances with eg 512 or 1024mb set, till you run out of ram ) in windows, Memtest86 will not discover errors as fast ( if it discovers errors at all )

[Hondacity]

1pass is ok
5passes takes forever lol

[Demo]

I'll try both. 1 pass for Memtest86+

how many hours for HCI memtest?
