Current Rig
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Winchester (socket 939)
DFI Lanparty nF4 Sli-Dr
200XL Pro TwinX (2x512MB) - 2Gb Ram in total in dual channel mode
ATI Radeon X850 XT PE
Enermax Noisetaker 600W PSU
Thermalright XP-120 CPU Cooler with Arctic Silver 5
Audigy 2 ZS
This is what I have achieved (stable) so far.
Now I know in theory these chips can go faster on air cooling. What more can I do to try and squeeze abit more performance out of the CPU/mboard? How to I increase the voltages on this board etc etc?
Below are the various BIOS settings that I have changed, but some if it doesnt fully make sense.
Genie BIOS Setting
FSB Bus Frequency - 240Mhz
LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio - x4.0
LDT Bus Transfer Width - 16 16
CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio - x10.5
PCI Express Frequency - 101Mhz
K8 Coll & Quiet Support - Disable
CPU VID Startup Value - 1.550v
CPU VID Control - Auto (should this be changed to 1.550v?)
CPU VID Special Control - Auto
LDT Voltage Control - 1.50v
Chip Set Voltage Control - 1.80v
DRAM Voltage Control - 2.80v
DRAM+.03v If its not 3.2v - Disable

Min RAS# active time (Tras) - 05 bus clocks
Row Precharge (Trp) - 02 bus clocks
Row Cycle Time (Trc) - 07 bus clocks
Row Refresh Cycle Time (Trfc) - Auto
Row to row delay (Trrd) - 02 bus clocks
Write Recovery Time (Twr) - 03 bus clocks
Write to read delay (Twtr) - 01 bus clocks
Read to write delay (Trwt) - 03 bus clocks
Refresh Period (Tref) - 3120 cycles
Odd Divisor Correct - Disable

DQS Skew Control - Auto
DQS Skew Value - 0
DRAM Drive Strength - Auto
DRAM Data Drive Strength - Auto
Mas Async Latency - Auto
DRAM Response Time - Fast

Many thanks in advance
