celly 800 playtime

[saytan]

been playing around with this celly 800


had her to 1248 (8x156) but my RAID array (2x4gig RAID 1 for some critical docs) wouldnt init, and when i reset, bang no post.


now at 1168mhz (146 CAS2) with a mere 1.8v


theres 1200-1300 mhz in this chip, i just dont have the time or the energy to pull it out

Get a gigabyte board and the pci specs will stay around 33mhz at all times and solve that issue for you ;)

[saytan]

i really dont want to buy a new board :)

Been where you are its a fantastic chip. Got it to run stable at 1.2 when I ran the voltage default higher voltage and prime would find an error. Running with 900 megs all the tweaks. Yeah it can go higher it posted at 166 and surfed great, tests well no tweaks for ram. My 400 megs of crucial tho didn't like it and I didn't have the dividers for the pci. Plus none of my ram can run at 166 cas 2 at that speed so 1.2 ends up faster anyway.

1168 is still a nice OC for that cele 800

do you need to use the RAID card? how many drives do you have

[Yodums]

Try removing the raid card for a moment then trying for the highest you can if it can go for way higher than I would just throw away the raid card :D

its not a raid card its onboard HPT370. the controller is fine to mega-fsbs, its just the drives cant take it


they are two 4 gig fujitsus i use for critical backups, in raid 1



at 155 (156 actual) FSB the startup freezes in the RAID bios


above 148 things start behaving strangely at restarts too

[deez]

since you only use them for backups then I suggest only plugging them in when you need to backup your files and then just slow down your FSB and plug them in

[saytan]

the array is going.


my other problem is that my 3.3v line is around 3.2-3.25


that would hold my ram back some wouldnt it

[Yodums]

Well I guess you reached your max then unless you wanna ditch those drives and get something else that can take the overclocking.

im selling the drives and sticking a 10 gig maxtor in a removable dooda


i know it can take 41.5 PCI, it was the system drive in my 400@500 (83 bus)
