3200+ venice, cant get over 2.2

Camalot · 17 May 2006 at 16:49

Im on ASrock Duel Sata,stock fan etc

2x512mb Geil Value ram.

I set all mobo settings from the asrock thread, i can get it to 220x10 with a 166 divider but anything over that just isnt stable, ie i boot up with no signal on monitor :eek:

Any tips?

What are your temps like at 2.2 - use something like speedfan to check.

Camalot · 17 May 2006 at 16:56

Not sure whats what

Goody_GTI · 17 May 2006 at 16:57

are you reducing your ht multiplier? i.e. it is normall at x5 as standard and it needs to be reduced if you increase the fsb - (fsb * ht multi = ht speed) and normally needs to be kept under 1000, just a common problem that causes unstability and its easy to forget (iv been there myself

)

put your memory at 2t instead of 1t

or try increasing the voltage

Camalot · 17 May 2006 at 17:02

Its set to x4 (800) in bios

230x4 is still under 1000, still doesnt get signal to monitor

Maybe somthing to do with voltages? Think it was something like 1.45 in bios? Dont know lol

Wont that slow it down? Going to try 230x10 at 2t then.

Im pleased with the card atm

Not really sure i have things set right. I get bad stuttering in F.E.A.R but far cry maxed out is great.

I got cpu to 240x10 on 133 divider, memory 2t, if i put memory on 166 divider i get no signal

Tried the voltage to 1.445 in bios i think, still diddnt help !

Camalot · 17 May 2006 at 17:34

PC just randomly restarted at 2.4 so guess its not stable. Its at 2.2 again now 166 divider.

Awww

whats the rest of your system ,is it sata hd etc
what bios version is asrock mobo

Overclock Mode: CPU, PCIE Async
- CPU Freq: 240
- PCIE Freq: 100
Boot Guard: on
Spread System: off
Cool'n'Quiet: off

Multiplier/Voltage: auto
Proc Voltage: 1.450 (no vmod)

Memory Clock: 200 (DDR400)
Flex. Option: off

MA Timing: 2T

CPU-NB Speed: 800
NB-SB Speed: 800

HTTtoPCIE Bridge: auto
DRAM Voltage: high
TRY ONE THING AT AT TIME IF IT DOESNT FIX ISSUE PUT IT BACK AND MOVE ONTO NEXT ONE
if it doesnt fix it basic diagnostics are needed , ie temps of cpu and graphics ,power supply ,mem test ,board drivers , card drivers etc
have a look at the asrock mobo thread
also look at the rebels haven computer forum as they have an asrock section

Thanks mate, going to have a mess with that later.

Right now i need to get ready my gf is coming

Tnx for help ill post again when i test it

- ide hdd and bios 1.9

dalex · 17 May 2006 at 17:50

not a problem
dave

Camalot · 17 May 2006 at 22:40

Tried your settings mate, im in windows at 2.3 now but 2.4 still says no signal and just ends up resetting bios.

Using 1.9

Gashman · 18 May 2006 at 00:22

thats bizarre, most venice' seem to do 2.5Ghz without any problems or even voltage increase, maybe you got a chip that just doesn't clock well, is that a possibility?

cymatty · 18 May 2006 at 18:57

Have you tried dropping the multiplier to 9 and increasing the htt that way, i am at something like 280 ht x9 multi =2520mhz.
