3800+ X2 @ 2.4ghz?

As a quick test, you could always go back to stock and check that CPUz validates.

I found the problem. I hadnt changed the NF4 Voltage changed it and now it works fine. heres the link:

Everything look ok?

Yep, now push it further

Porkford · 4 Jul 2007 at 10:14

LOL will give it a go why not

With some help off some of the regulars here I managed to get my 939 3800 to run at this..

Check out this thread, it's only 2 pages so shouldn't be hard to find..got help from El Jimben on my o/c problem..couldn't go faster than 2.4 as well but he sorted it for me!

Looks fine to me, you're getting the exact same overclock im running right now, with the same ram too.

Mine boots at 2.6 with stock volts, but doesnt last long, lasted a few weeks at 2.5 then BSOD'd for no reason, so i dropped it back to 2.4 and left it like that, and its been that way since the end of last year. I get around he same load temps aswell.

Dont worry about hurting your chip with clocks, the only thing that'll kill it is volts, and maybe heat.

You running yours at 1.4v mate? I think the chip is 1.35v stock isnt it?

Im gunna aim for 2.6 next I think. Gunna leave it a few days and make sure its ok at 2.4 first though. Nice speeds though mate

Mine's running at stock, so yes 1.35v, sorry.

Modjo · 4 Jul 2007 at 10:34

Thanks

..my prob was the memory, had to put it down to 133 and lower HTT to x3. Running nicely now

Ah ive got mine set at 1.4v atm. Thing is the BIOS has auto defaulted to 1.4v since i bought the chip a few months back. Ive had no problems so thought id leave it at 1.4v

mines at 166 and x4 HTT I think. Just hope its stable :eek:

Insanity · 4 Jul 2007 at 10:39

I just doubled checked my volts, and according to CPU-Z 134 my volts are at 1.30v... not sure if CPU-Z is having me on or not, and i cant be bothered heading into the bios to check.... i know Cool and Quiet is switched off, so that shouldnt be the reason.

EDIT: Just downloaded CPU-Z 140 and thats reporting my volts as 1.31v.

This was quoted for me in another thread..

"As far as the RAM goes, I would drop it down to a 133 divider for now, that way it will be running slower than 200MHz and you'll be able to see how high you can push your CPU. Don't worry too much about overclocking your RAM, as the increased CPU speed will be of greater benefit. Make sure you drop the HTT multiplier to 3 after the FSB goes over 250.

Also, go into the memory options in the BIOS and change the command rate from 2T to 1T, as this gives better performance. I think it's called CMD-ADDR timing or something on your board."

Does it always read the voltage correctly? Its reading 1.38 in my asus monitoring software and 1.4 in cpu-z.

Most software reports vcore inaccurately, just make sure you've got it set correctly in the BIOS.

SkeeterUK · 4 Jul 2007 at 18:47

Most accurate i have seen is everest where you check the tools/everest cpuid. Updates fast and shows i think most accurate vcore volts. Also if its a asus board it will be like 1.4 set in bios but really its set at 1.35 or 1.375 least thats with some asus boards like mine.
