Stuck?

[Midnight Dream]

Ok, i've got my opty 165 to 289 HTT @ 1.5V (2.6GHz). I can push the voltage farther, but it seems that no matter what I do, I cant get 290+. Am I doing something wrong? LDT is at 3x, stock voltages on everything except VCore and DRAM (3.2). DRAM is stable at 2-3-2-8.

chipset voltage?

 

[Midnight Dream]

Stock (1.2 I believe, but whatever is stock for the DFI Ultra-D)

 

[Know Nuttin]

Try a bit higher. I think 1.5v is stock.

 

[Midnight Dream]

yea, I might be thinking of LDT. I will try increasing it some, see if that gives any better results. Should I also bump up the VCore, or just the chipset?

 

[Midnight Dream]

Upped the chipset to 1.7V (default was 1.5), tried 300, no go. Dropped the mem divider to 133 (at 166 right now), no go. At 1.5V on the proc still.

 

[Know Nuttin]

Hmmm...perhaps a different BIOS will help?

 

[Midnight Dream]

On the 704-2bt. Which other would you recommend?

 

[Midnight Dream]

5x LDT/FSB multi, 6x CPU/FSB, and 133 Divider, I cant even get into windows at 295. However, with a 3x LDT multi, I can. I'm not sure if im misunderstanding the basis, but I know I have to keep my FSB under 1000. Am I missing something?

 

[tRidiot]

Wouldn't a 5x/LDT and 295 = 1475 HTT? That's why a 3x works. It's then well under 1k.

 

[Nexus Realized]

If you're at 295 it should be at 3, any higher will cause problems. Multiply the two together until you are below 1000.

 

[Midnight Dream]

yea, set it to 3x and I can do 310, but cant seem to go much higher then that. I should, under the same basis, be able to go up to around 333. Something is limiting me, but I dont know what. I have easily gotten this chip to 2600MHz, so its not that. The ram is on a pretty low divider, so I doubt it to be that. Thoughts?

 

[Know Nuttin]

what's your PWMIC temp like?

not all boards will do high HTT. Some sites end up at around 315 - 330 or so.

 

[Midnight Dream]

Is running on a 100 divider a bad thing? I know that everything i've read says that the divider doesnt matter if you can get the CPU up, but 100 does seem kind of low

 

[Midnight Dream]

wow, had to reset the CMOS, and now I cant even boot at what was stable for me earlier.

EDIT: My mistake, had changed a setting incorrectly

 

[Know Nuttin]

the only penalty by running the memory at the 100mhz setting is the lower bandwidth. There's no latency penalty from running the memory slower as there was with the Athlon XP line. To be honest, all memory speed is on a divider with Athlon64, there is no 1:1 unless your CPU and memory speed were identical.

 

[Midnight Dream]

k, well even on a 100 divider, I cant get to 300HTT. I dont know what it is, it just wont let me.

 

[IvanAndreevich]

Might be just the limit of your chip. What are the temps under dual prime?

One of my 165's has a sweet spot @ 1.5V 2.8 GHz. Totally stable. More just hurts even though temps are not an issue.

 

[Midnight Dream]

Load is normall around 45-47*C
