ds3r o/c woes

[233]

having a few probs clocking a 2160 with a P35 DS3R


spec is



DS3R mobo
2160 cpu
OCZ pc6400 2x1gig
1900 xtx
500w psu
a/cooler freezer pro


now i currently have her running stable in vista at 2.79ghz but she wont go any further in vista


can get system to post happily at 3ghz but wont load into windows at all


any thoughts on getting that extra .2 ghz and then some

Just a thought but up the voltages as it standard ram at 1.8V I think, so try +0.2V. Also, I found upping the northbridge (if memory serves me right) voltage by anything over 0.1V did nowt useful

already have voltages up

ram at 2v running with a divider nigh on 800 cpu running a 1.38(1.325 stock)
everything else +0.1

I found with my DS3R it will hit almost 500FSB before you need to increase the chipset voltages (unless your running 4gig of RAM) but above 450MHz you need to increase the voltage all the way to +0.3 to get it stable...

Are you locking the PCI-e bus to 100-102 or so?

EDIT: What BIOS version are you using with the board? as I think there was updated support for the E21x0 CPUs at some point...

running F11 bios

and tried with both 2 and 4 gigs of ram in place

just not a happy camper

bump

right guys what am i missing here
rams on a low setting (well under its limits
running at 2.7ghz stable in vista 300x9 anything above this causes vista not to load posts with 3ghz but just black screens vista

voltage at 1.392v for cpu ram at 2v fsb and NB +0.1v

Can't remember where I found this (probably on the boards somewhere, I didn't write it, so I'm not sure who credit goes to):

1. Make sure that you have the latest chipset drivers and flash the board to the most recent bios version
2. On the main bios screen press Ctrl+F1 to open the advanced options within the menus
3. In the Advanced Bios Features Menu, Disable all of the following: CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E), CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2), CPU EIST Function
4. In the PC Health Status menu, set the FAN Speed Control Method to "Legacy" & FAN Speed Control Mode to "PWM" to maintain highest speed
5. Go into the MB Intelligent Tweaker (MIT) menu at the bottom of the page, set the System voltage control to "Manual"
6. These boards have a default VDIMM of 1.8v, set the VDIMM to co-ordinate with your ram. The Geil I have is specced as 2.1v so I have mine set to +0.3v
7. Set the MCH Voltage to +0.1v
8. Set the FSB Voltage to +0.1v
9. Set the VCORE to 1.45v - Please be aware that this will increase temps!
10. Set the CPU Host Clock Control to "Enable"
11. Set the System Memory Multiplier to "2x"
12. You're set to go, just increase the System bus Frequency to Overclock
13. I would reccommend that you use Intels TAT to monitor temps

^I followed these steps, but editted them slightly, using only +0.2v and 1.425v, perfectly stable as sig. RAM timings are 4-4-4-12 2T, think I'm on the 4:5 divider.

GOOD LUCK!
