voltage?

voltage?

Leave it as it is for now. Just see what happens.

Or take it up in smaller steps instead of jumping straight in at 333.

Try 315 FSB x12 multi and keep increasing FSB in small steps.

Asus... you kniow the rest...

Crucial DDR2-667 3-3-2-8

Thermaltake In case water cooling 54/L per hour

7950gx2....


And oh yer got it a bit higher...

Try this version of super_pi it has 3 decimal places.

And try say 293 FSB with 1.5v for 3.8 Ghz

Crank vMCH up to 1.65v if you haven't done so already. On XS they seem to do this straight out of the box.

Might want to consider overclocking PCI-E bus.. I've heard people talking about putting it up to 107? (YMMV with this because I've never even owned a PCI-E mobo!)

What BIOS are you running?

 

[jimbonkers]

0701

 

[Devious]

im running

PCI-E at 110 Mhz,
Vmch at 1.65v
Vcore 1.485
Vmem 2.15
PCI Freq 33 Mhz

for 3.8 Ghz 24/7

I can do super_pi and stuff at 4050 with 1.575v

 

[jimbonkers]

you sure about the Vmch and Vmem?

It give me lots of warnings! I don't like warnings lol.

The bios gave you warnings ?

I dont get any, only the numbers go red/purple? once change from stock.

I need the Vmch as i want a high FSB > 400 , you may not need it really.

Your ram is running very slow at maybe try setting you ram at DDR 773 with your FSB at 290 3:4

 

[jimbonkers]

Whats the cooling like that you have (your swifttech) I asked a while back how good the Thermaltake VB5001SNA Tai-Chi SuperMidi Tower was... bare in mind i ony have CPU cooling...

 

[Devious]

Its pretty good imo, doesnt seem to far off temps on custom setups.


Im at 39 idle atm and 60 full duel prime load, but its like a sauna in my room atm.

 

[Byron]

set vmem to 2.2 ddr2's will love it, so will the cpu

 

[jimbonkers]

Do the ram latencys work differently with conroe?

 

[greencreeper]

It has to be said - shocking application of parcel tape in that first picture

Intel cpus don't control ram, the chipset does, so no. AMD has integrated memory controller, only AMD cpus control ram latencies.

Well, how do you think OCUK manage to ship stock orders within 30 minutes of purchasing, there has to be some sacrifice

Yes I dont mind as long as the chip works which I still dont know yet lol

What's Vmch? Is it the North Bridge voltage?

ocing the PCI-E bus? Any idea what difference that makes? Never even thought about it..

Its supposed to help gfx card overclocks, but in this case some have said it allows a small FSB increase.
