Showing at 1600Mhz on the core speed panel.

Is that right?

Multiplier x 6

Bus speed = 266

rated FSB 1066

Voltage 1.120

Edit: Just as i posted i closed down FM2008 and it shot up to 2400 with the multiplier being 9.

Whats going on?
 
Ah so its normal.

I've had a look and couldn't find anything called speedstep.

Mobo is: P35c DS3R btw.

Ta.
 
Cheers that works.

back to 2.4 where is should be, volts up to 1.280, and the multi on 9.

But am sure when i installed the mobo it was 6 x 400, and now its changed to 9 x 266, any ideas why?

again ta.
 
No its deffo 9 x 266, and i'm 100% certain it was at 400 x 6 when i 1st got it.

Should i force it to go 400 x 6 or just leave it be?

Reason i'm asking i was hoping i could simply knock out 400 x 8 to make it 3.2 without having to do anything else.

The chip is known stable at 3.2 on air without any voltage change.
 
This is getting really weird.

I tried a BIOS update, to F7, and the thing kept crashing. Resetting the computer and clearing any BIOS changes.

So i went back to F2.

Tried changing it to 400 x 6 and it really doesn't like it, keeps resetting itself as well.
 
Now its resetting all over the place.

Put everything back to the way it came (apart from audio disabled as i have an xfi) and its still crashing.

Put the memory voltage up by 0.3v to its 2.1v default.

Eh?

So the board is lowing the volts to the memory?

Strange thing this DS3R, never seen anything like it.

so 2.1v is what it should be running at?

Madness.
 
Well i've had a bash at raising the voltage and it does nothing.

Just knocked it up by 0.1 (under overvoltage DDR2/DDR3) and it still showed as 1.8 in CPU-Z.
 
ns400r said:
The memory needs to be at 2.1v and I wasn't under the impression that CPU-Z displayed the memory voltage. It displays the rated voltage for a given speed but doesn't show the actual memory voltage.
Click to expand...

Agh, so it might be at 2.1v anyway.

It doesn't say in the BIOS, just add whatever you want on to it.

Anyway of checking?
 
ns400r said:
In the BIOS, set the memory voltage on the MIT page to +0.3v that will give the memory 2.1v. Speedfan 'can' show the memory voltage.
Click to expand...

Aye, i think i'm in the right place, but tbh mate, its +0.3 on what? It doesn't say.

The memory could be at 2.1 already, i thought CPUZ was showing it as 1.8.

Tried speedfan, nothing there i could see that resembled mem voltages.

That'll be why it's crashing then, set it the fsb:mem ratio to 2x if you want to run 400 fsb.

266x9 (stock), 266 (fsb) x 3 (mem multi) = 800ddr2
400x6 (stock speeds still) but 400x3 = 1200ddr2! Way out of spec!

Drop the mem multi down to 2x if you are running 400 fsb.
Click to expand...

In CPUZ the mem divder is showing as 2:3

What does that actually mean in terms of numbers, and is that what i need to change and what too?

Edit: So 532:798 (2:3 @ 266) is that right?

@ 400 it will be 800:800 if i go 2:2

Or do i need to go 1:2 (400fsb 800mem)

???

PS: Sometimes i feel like i shouldn't be allowed to own a computer nevermind enter the BIOS :(

Just to add to that, i cant find any divider, only an SPD, which is on auto, and its like the voltage settings, 3.0, 3.5 etc...

CPU Host Frequencey (mhz) ???
System Memory Multiplier (SPD) ???
Memory Frequency (Mhz) ???
(2.0x System Memory Multiplier and 266 CPU Host Frequency gives PC5300 memory speed)
(3.0x System Memory Multiplier and 266 CPU Host Frequency gives PC6400 memory speed)

System Voltage Control [Manual]
DDR2/DDR3 OverVoltage Control [+.3V] (+.3v gives 2.1v memory voltage)

Memeory timings also need checking.

Before entering any page in the BIOS but while still on the initial BIOS screen, press Control+F1 to enable hidden memory timing settings. Then enter the MIT page to see them. Set accordingly.

This is great info mate, what about if i want the FSB as 400? Would the SPD by set at 2x?

Yes, but the CPU multiplier (x9) would give a CPU speed of 3600MHZ (9x 400) which may be too high an over clock for your CPU/CPU voltage configuration. Consider using an 8x multipier for the CPU (8x 400 = 3200MHz).
Click to expand...

Aye, i was going to drop it too 6 x 400 (which is normal speed) then try 7 x then 8 x.

The lad i bought the chip off said it sat happily on stock volts at 3.2, 3.6 with an increase, but that is far too much hassle for someone like myself.

I'm running a stock cooler and will wait till xmas to get an infinity before OCing it anyway.

I just want the rest of the stuff in my control leading up to that.
 
Ok gave that a bash and it seemed to like it.

I've got 400 x 6 with a mem X of 2 giving 800 and its working.

CPU voltage = 1.376, i assume thats ok.

I've turned off all the system CPU controls and its running full pelt, temps have risen slightly to 37c each core, which is ok since its boiling hot in here.

Should my rated FSB be 1600 in CPUZ? Seems a little high, i cant remember what it was before though. Also CPUZ showing the FSB & DRAM being 1:1.

Also in Core temp it thinks the CPU is running at 600 x 6 = 3.6, why does everything never match!!!
