My x2 3800+ socket 939, is it ok?

Im stuck now at trying to reach 3ghz.
It wouldnt boot so i thought ill add some more voltage (1.4) That didnt work.
I thought it was my mem but its stated to run at ddr500 and the mem divider i have make it run at that speed, so i droped the divider just incase. Still no boot i have put the htt multi at 3.


So i booted back up to 2.9ghz every thing was fine, i changed the mem divider to 266, instead of 333mhz and it wont boot i think either my memory or motherboard doesnt like the 266 divider??

Give it some more volts, you quite often need a decent increase in the vcore to get from 2.9 to 3GHz.
 
Or try lower multiplier so instead of 10 go to 9, needs more fsb if ** mb supports it but might make 3ghz that way.

Btw Im orthosing my 2400 clock now, seems 1.375 in bios wasnt giving enough so i put it to 1.425 in bios (everest shows 1.4vcore) so been clocking and 2200 was fine for tests 1-4 for 20 mins, so i tryed 2400 and so far othos is ok.

Orthos test 1-5 took 20 mins with 2200 speed
Orthos test 1-5 took 17 mins with 2400 speed :)

Temps max load 53 total (core 1 55 core 2 53) mb temp 27 (lowers to 48/49 max load if i open case side a little.

Yer ive tried the lower multi still didnt boot. I think my motherboard has run out of steam at 290. Ive added in my crappy ram sticks so i can play bf2, and its running at 2.7 on stock volts with the mem running at 180mhz which is pretty gd when its surpposed to run at 133mhz.
 
Ram will go futher if you change it from 1T to 2T in bios. Should do i mean.

But 2.9ghz is nice overclock so well done you. Only hope mine can go that high. Btw what is stock volts as in ** pic you said stock volts and later said raised vcore to 1.4 but the pic previously at bottom showed 1.39v so does that mean you and others use 1.4v as stock? Not 1.35v?
 
My stock volts when set to auto are 1.36. I set the vcore in bios for 1.365 for when i was overclocking to 2.9ghz. But my motherboard overvolts a bit so it goes to 1.392.

edit And for the memory i have my good sticks and the crappy ones in together to make 1.5gb it runs bf2 all on high so im not complaining, but if a game like crysis likes high bandwidth i may buy another 2x512mb sticks of the fast ram to make 2gb.

Amd 64 cpus like 2 1gb sticks better than 3 or 4 512mb sticks.

Test 2500 speed now

1.4v
2500 speed
3x htt
266 divider (ram at 166 at mo cpu/15)
10 multiplier
ddr at 2.7v still

Temps with orthos on for 3 mins is 50 per core with side of case off a bit probably 53-54 with it on.

Settings ok does everyone think? Or should i have put htt to 4x and used cpu/12 divider for 208mhz ram?

Knocked the volts down after above was stable for 17 mins (tests passed 1-5) So gona see if stable with slightly less volts (was 1.425 in bios) now 1.4 in bios.

3rd min the temps are from everest 50 overall cpu, 54 core 1, 51 core 2, 27 for mb temp. Bout 2-3 degrees better. Tho dont like it when one core goes past 55 like did before on 1.425v. Was only brief tho.

Hmm with temps being near 50-55 at 2500 speed max load. Whats the opinion of going futher with the oc, perhaps 2.8ghz? Which im guessing if volts dont have to go up will be around 55 overall cpu, and core 1 and 2 will be between 54-57 ish at load. Since every 100 or 200 mhz up the temps only go up a few degrees.

nice overclock mate. Mine will do 2800MHz on stock volts but requires 1.55 to do over that stable for folding@home.

try setting the memory to a lower divider and the htt to 3x as above...also try setting the RAM to 2t if its currently set to 1t as some boards don't like over a certain FSB when RAM is set to 1t CPC..just for testing.

If you keep the volts the same it should only increase temp every 300mhz so iu would keep on pushing to see how high you get.
 
Slight update.

Do u reckon i should prime more or go for another 100mhz jump? Keep in mind temps.

2004060284031207163_rs.jpg


Btw orthos stable time 1 hr 35 mins so far (screenie slighly old)
 
I would go for 100mhz more just to see who temps go.
Edit your vcore is really low thats a good overclock for the vcore.

Tryed 2700

Rebooted when i tryed winrar benchy. :( Even when upped volt to 1.5 in bios (1.45 ish in windows said)

Took down to

fsb 265
cas 3 again (crashed when tryed 2.5)

Winrar didnt show errors and went a min before i closed it on 2650 speed doin orthos small fft test as usual now lets see how that goes, went down volts to 1.45 in bios,everest shows 1.4 ish now.

Runnin it for a hour see how it goes.

2.7 aint possible it seems. :(
 
Its the ram holdin me back, every time i oc and try to get ram better either better divider or better timings than stock the oc fails sooner or later. Whats better 2500 or 2550 cpu with 212 speed ram stock timings or 2600 cpu with 170 or somit ram with stock timings. Maybe 2700 with 150 ram using highest divider. Might be ok tho if i did 2t not 1t but i think thats a high hit to performance

yeah going from 2t to 1t is a big performance hit...test at the higher clock with 2t compared to the lower clock 1t in SuperPI 1MB test and see the difference IMO.
 
Yeah at 2550 cpu, stock timings 1t ram at 212 i think 7700 in pcmark 04, same cpu, 212 ram 2t stock settings 6800 pcmrk score. Cpu same 2t ram tight timings 6900 score. Weird lol. Even 2600 cpu 208 ram stock timings 2t was 6800 score. :(

Damn this ram. Least i know cpu can push to 2.7 at least with crap ram at 160 or somit and probably 1t. Ram MAYBE 180 on 2t.

Damn you geil i thought ud get me there. :(

On better ram that easily goes higher maybe pc4000 i think the cpu can go to 2.8 as long as temps dont go past 60/65 ish per core. Ah well. At the mo im on 2500 cpu and 166 ram 1t giving me 6600 points in pcmark its 1000 points more than stock. Will try messing with ram tomorrow for now im shattered.
 
Do you think this is a stable overclock.

Pc mark 04 fails when finished loading windows i started it failed on grammer test but went through to complete rest of tests. Ran it again and worked. Stable or not i duno but 6 hrs orthos blend stable. about a hour and a half on memtest for windows which stoped at 200% cycle with 2 going at same time using 750meg each. 55-58 max load temp.

HT 260
Multi 10
HTT x3
Vcore 1.450 in bios (about 1.425 estimated everest)
ddr volts 2.8
mem timings 2.5.3.3.8 1T
Mem running at 173
Pcmark 04 score 7100
3d mark 05 untested

Yer that seems stable.
 
Darn it, comp froze with the usual sound then turned off. Upped the volts to 1.475 in bios (1.45 ish now in windows everest) gona see how that is. Hope the 40 ish idle is ok tho for temps and 60 max load.
