I can run my opteron 144 @ 265x9 with a 1:1 ratio just fine.
However, if I want to take my FSB up to 300, i have to set my divider all the way down to 133! :eek: That doesnt make sense to me. If I remember how to cross multiply right, that puts my memory down to 199.5!
Why doesnt my system post if I set the divider to 166? Surely my ram is more than capable of using this divider, as that would let my ram sit back at a comfortable 249 and since I run it at 265 now, it should be able to run that.
In A64 tweaker, i tried setting the divider to 150, an option not available in the BIOS with my FSB at 290 and it rebooted the system. Is that happening because its not in the bios, or should it still work?
Is it because my motherboard is poo or am I forgetting certain settings?
When I get off work, im going to run some benchmarks to find my sweet spot.
290FSB w/ 133 divider > or < 265 w/ 200 divider ? Im pretty sure the 1:1 divider wins.
Is anyone here running the DDR 500 gskills at a higher setting than me on this motherboard? Did you up the voltage? What setting? That would be cool to run 270 1:1, but >265 and I get weird errors. 265 doesnt work unless I go to 2t.
I was tinkering with this for hours upon hours last night. And I loved every minute of it. :) If only working on my car was this fun, maybe then it wouldnt suck so bad. ekeekeke ^_^
