TB 1.1 Multiplier

[Rcttexas]

I have a TB 1.1 O/C to 1.23. Current settings are 12x103/33. My system get unstable when the FSB get much above 3 or 4. The multiplier goes to 12 then 12>above. When I tried to usethis setting, I could not boot and had to reset the bios. There is a setting for a 1300Mhz chip, but it uses the 12>above setting. Any ideas how to get to 1300Mhz and still stay stable? Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Welcome to the forums Rcttexas you will have much better luck getting this question answered in the amd cpu section.

One of the mods will most likely move it for you.

Hope you enjoy the forums.

Hey another Guy with the same chip as me. 1100MHz 11 X 100FSB & the same MoBo too:D I'm assuming you did unlock it since you can get the 12 multiplier so what I need to help you now is for you to type exactly what you see in SOFT MENU III of your BIOS. Which BIOS are you using? What type of cooling do you have?

[Rcttexas]

Thanks in advance sonny!!! here is what I have:


1.1TB O/C @1.266
1.80v
Thermoengine HSF w/ Artic Silver II @ 43c Idle 47c load
1 intake fan on front w/ one exhaust fan on back
ABIT KT7A-RAID w/ RAID-0 on WIN XP home
bios 00

Here is what ive tried:


9x133/33 +12FSB---Reset bios
9x133/33 +10FSB---Error: bad_pool_caller
9.5133/33 +3FSB---system32/config-corrupt or missing
9.5x133/33 +2FSB--Page_fault
9.5x133/33 +1FSB IRQL not less or equal

I'm guessing you have not updated your BIOS yet. 3R is my choice for this particular MoBo if it's a rev. 1.0-1.2. You need a more recent BIOS to have stability when you go higher than 1.2GHz usually. Try typing out exactly what you see in SOFT MENU III so I know what setting to change;)

Also list down your memory settings. What kind of ram do you have?

[Rcttexas]

Sorry Sonny I dont know what I was thinking. I have Bios v. 64. 00 was the original. sorry for the confusion. Im going to check out the soft menu settings now. As far as my memory, Its all generic: 2 256 dimms 1 512 dimm. only 1 256 is rated to 2 cas.

[Rcttexas]

Here are the soft menu III settings:

x9.5
133/33
0
speed error-disabled

core 1.775v
i/o 3.40v

Fast CPU Command- normal
Output drive control-auto
Enhance chip perf.-disabled
force 4wy inter.-disabled
enable dram 4k page-disabled
DRAM clock-host

Hope this helps

Try this;

CPU OPERATING SPEED = USER DEFINE

MULTIPLIER FACTOR = 10 = 10
CPU FSB/PCI CLOCK = 133/33MHZ = 133/33MHz
CPU FSB PLUS = 0 (add more after*) = 10
SPEED ERROR HOLD = DISABLED = DISABLED


CPU POWER SUPPLY = USER DEFINE

CORE VOLTAGE = 1.85V = 1.825(check with the HEALTH STATUS MENU to confirm voltages)
I/O VOLTAGE = 3.5V = 3.5v(check with the HEALTH STATUS MENU to confirm voltages)

FAST CPU COMMAND DECODE = NORMAL = FAST
CPU DRIVE STRENGTH = 2 = 2
ENHANCE CHIP PERFORMANCE = DISABLED = ENABLED
FORCE 4 WAY INTERLEAVE = DISABLED = ENABLED
ENABLED DRAM 4K-PAGE MODE = DISABLED = ENABLED
DRAM CLOCK = HOSTCLK = HOSTCLK


What are your;

BANK 0/1 DRAM TIMING = ? = NORMAL
BANK 2/3 DRAM TIMING = ? = NORMAL
BANK 4/5 DRAM TIMING = ? = NORMAL
DRAM BANK INTERLEAVE = ? = NORMAL
SDRAM CLCLE LENGTH = ? = 3



RED ITEMS are my settings.

* Problems regarding mixing memory sizes & latencies will color the overclocking potencial. More slots filled will increase capacitance giving you a weaker FSB O/C. Would you consider removing the slower sticks & using the 256 CAS2 on slot 1 to find out what the maximum FSB is? Some KT7A-/RAID just will not go over 266FSB/133MHz too.

[Rcttexas]

No good. Had to reset my bios.

here are the other settings:

bank 0/1 dram--was fast set to normal
bank 2/3 dram--was fast set to normal
bank 4/5 dram--was fast set to normal
Dram bank interleave---4way
Sdram cycle length-was auto=2 set to 3

Which sticks of ram did you use? Do you think that you got "one of those" MoBos? Take a look at this thread (http://forums.overclockers.ws/vb/showthread.php?threadid=55128).

I pulled out 2 DIMMs that were only 3CAS, however the one I left in says it is only 2 CAS @ 66 or 100 mhz. It goes to 3 @133mhz. I found a 128 Dimm in my old system that is a 2/3 CAS as well. I put those in and played around awhile and finally got my system to boot into windows @ 12x106/33 which is not much difference from 9.5x133/33. I may try 11.5x113/33 and see what happens!!

[Rcttexas]

11.5x113/33 was no good. However I got close at 8x155/34. Just as windows started I got an error messang saying need DLL's for HAL to finish loading windows. I know what DLL's are but what is HAL?

[Sonny]

You got me stumped here:o The CPU should do atleast 1.1GHz right so how about;

MULTIPLIER FACTOR = 7.5
CPU FSB/PCI CLOCK = 133/33MHZ
CPU FSB PLUS = 7(+ 1MHz everytime it checks out stable with Prime95)

CORE VOLTAGE = 1.85V (check with the HEALTH STATUS MENU to confirm voltages)
I/O VOLTAGE = 3.5V (check with the HEALTH STATUS MENU to confirm voltages)

Yes the voltage is overkill but just to make sure it isn't your problem. How are the other rails? 5V & 12V
