Hey EVERYONE!
I received my A7V8X two days ago with 256MB Samsung PC2700 (M368L3223DTL-CB3, what's the reputation for overclocking with this model?) and a 1600+ AGOIA. I was wondering, though, what my memory timings should be, but I would like everything at the most agressive speeds. I have been away from the overclocking scene for about 3-4 months since I last RMA'd my old GA-7VRXP so once again I need help again.
Alright, here are my current settings:
(166*10.5 = 1743 MHz)
CPU Frequency Multiple: 10.5x
CPU External Frequency (MHz): 166/33
Memory Frequency (MHz): 333
CPU Vcore Setting: Auto
CPU Vcore: 1.750V
DRAM Voltage: Auto
System Performance: Turbo
>Chip Configuration:
SDRAM Configuration: Manual
SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.0T (DDR)
SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay: 2T
SDRAM RAS Precharge Delay: 2T
SDRAM Active Precharge Delay: 6T
SDRAM 1T Command Control: Enabled
SDRAM Bank Interleave: 4 Bank
CPU Temperature (Idle): 34 C
CPU Temperature (Full): 39 C
And here is my problem: I can boot into Windows XP without any problems, but soon after I will notice random errors from random programs. Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, VirtualDub, etc. And sometimes the whole computer will just freeze up, especially when I am encoding video files with DivX or playing DivX files on Windows Media Player, or using the Prime95 Torture Test. I have tried increasing my CPU Vcore a little higher (1.800V) and I have even increased the DRAM Voltage (2.75V), but I haven't attempted 2.85V just because I don't see that making much of a difference. Even with those increased voltages I seem to still have some problems with random errors and freezing.
Is it my RAM? If it is should I try to RMA it, and if so what would I say? If you see any error in my settings please point it/them out. Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks
