Ok So I noticed that after flashing to F4 bios on my DS3 I was no longer Orthos sp2004 stable. I decided to start from scratch and find a stable OC. I cleared the CMOS and disabled all unecessary devices.
-I set PCIE to auto(which has never worked before needed 105)EDIT: I had to set it to 105 to keep it stable
-Set vdimm to +.2v
-Set FSB to 400 1:1 and manually set timings to 4,4,4,12
-I left DEFAULT VCORE(previously i needed 1.4125 for stable orthos SP2004
And for S & Gs I just saved and rebooted. To my AMAZEMENT windows booted to safe mode. I said no way this will boot in to windows after my previous 200 reboots and testing at default vcore. So I reboot and SURE ENOUGH I fly right in to windows. I am thinking no way this is working. Before It would not even post at below 1.4 and now this???? I run Orthos and so far I am 49 minutes dual prime stable and counting as I write this.
Previous OC:
F3 Bios
E6400, DS3, 7950gx2, GSKILL HZ 2 x 1GB @ 3.2Ghz
FSB: 400mhz
Memory Divider: 1:1
vcore 1.4125
vdimm: +.3v
vusb: +.1v
PCIE freq: 105
PCIEv: normal
Temps: IDLE 46C, LOAD 58C
Current OC
F4 Bios
E6400, DS3, 7950gx2, GSKILL HZ 2 x 1GB @ 3.2Ghz
FSB: 400mhz
Memory Divider: 1:1
vcore : DEFAULT
vdimm: +.2v
vusb: normal
PCIE freq: auto
PCIEv: normal
Temps: IDLE 44C / LOAD 54C
Now I am completely stumped. How can I go from needing 1.4125v on the vcore to only needing the default 1.3125(or whatever the default is exactly I forget) and be completely stable??!??!? I even dropped my vdimm to +.2v from .3.
Did I somehow break in my CPU???? I am highly tempted to start OCing this baby even more to see if I can get more out of it now?
