**Official Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI NF650i Owners Thread**

okay i know ive made a lot of incremental posts;

but just got home, UNLINKED ram and FSB

now priming

CPU: 3100MHz
FSB: 1550 (387.5 quad pumped)
VCORE: 1.425
CPUVTT: 1.5
NB: 1.50

5mins + Orthos Dual Core stable! (only started it 5 mins ago¬!)

edit: prime was going strong but i ran SuperPi at the same time and my system froze;/ grrr

thanks for the reply wja96 my budget for 2gb of ram is probably 115 pounds and no higher

does anybody else have any suggestions?

the missing piece of my jigsaw is a decent psu , i think im going to order a corsair 520w as i do have a spare antec sonnata case that the psu died in


im still a little bit worried about what cooler to use , i only have the stock one that comes with the e6300 at the moment

would like some reports back with people running an e6300 and what other gear they are using


ie - case
-psu
-ram

and what sort of overclocks are they getting

if i can hit 2.8 ghrz i will be happy as i am only running an x24400 at stock at the mo


one last question may seem a silly one , if i had all the latest hardware and my current 8mb cache sata drive would things happen more quickly , as in if i unrarred a file is it the speed of the hardrive or the quickness of the cpu that makes things happen quicker?

im thinking do i need to invest in a quicker hardrive to go with my new hardware or will a quicker cpu.ram and motherboard make things happen faster

hard drives can only run at a certain speed but do other components effect the speed at which things happen?

am very happy with my corsair 620w / lian li v1000 / Noctua NHU12F combination
before my ds4 started being an arse I had it at 3gb pretty cool with that combo.
 
winrar has a benchmark test built in, so you can compare the cpu side of things quite directly using that. (its not as intense as orthos though)

However I find it to be mostly disk based unless you use fairly heavy compression. Winrar is also multi threaded so memory bandwidth is important too.
This is an economy setup I have here, but its 3.5ghz conroe all the same and I get ' 942kb/s resulting' in winrar test
 
I have the asus 650i, 2 gig of pc2-4300, e6400, AC 7 pro and several different 7200rpm ATA drives not in raid at present. Those components came to about £300 so Im quite pleased in the performance I get :)

Im interested in how it compares in video encoding or this winrar test if anyone wants to put up some figures
 
Update on E4300, FP-IN9

Last nights 3.5Ghz gave an error after 1.5 hours

Tonight I tried with slightly different settings and the PC shutdown and rebooted sometime after the 2hr 20 screendump. I think this is PSU related as situation improved following an increase in PSU fan speed. Still not resolved fully. Could be a cosair 620w in my future at some point!



On the brighter side, 3.3Ghz seems fine and may be a potential 24/7 when I've played around a little more.



3.4Ghz is also possible, if a little warm with these E4300's. Certainly seems to like plenty of volts.



Main things to note.

Over approx 1400 FSB a rapid increase in NB volts is required.

A small increase in V HTT up to 1.3 for moderate OC's and 1.4 for high OC's seems to help. Using this a lower OC's or using more V HTT give lots of instability. At 1.5 V HTT I can't get into the XP desktop.

The reboot and Bios setting has seen a huge benifit from reseating and cooling the NB. Fan is currently idle at this lower settings, but there for any future OC.

Still havemt manage to get the FSB above 1600. Perhaps it's the CPU or perhaps as per a previous post, the board just doesn't have the voltage required.

All for now,

AD

E4300 @ 3.0Ghz 1333FSB
2GB GEIL @ 800Mhz unlinked
4-4-4-12-2T 1112 KB/sec
4-4-4-12-1T 1214 KB/sec - though erros detected after 3 mins... 1 T needs some work !

Which version are you using?
3.70 Beta 4

I may try some higher OC's tomorrow.... after some sleep

ordered the corsair 520w and the 5300 ballistix ram today

will be hoping to bolt it all together at the weekend in an antec sonata case

will let you know how i get on :)

my first conroe build

Dam looks like memory bandwidth does help a lot then. I updated to 3.70 and got 873kb/s but I'll try tightening the timings and seing if it'll help any. I wont get 800mhz though and I guess this does count. Thanks for the info

(cas 5 - cas 3 971kb/s)

That's quite a nice clock decto, what HSF are you using on your 4300.

Hmm, at the moment, these boards don't seem quite as good as anticipated. The Fatal1ty name seems a bit wasted on this board IMO, no real big features...not even a funky heatpipe system for NB/mosfets. Still seems like a good board, but the asus p5n-e looks just that bit more sharper.It's abit though...they normally need a bit of time to sort out FW to make the board top notch, so there's still hope.

Hi,

Using a ThermalTake Big Typhoon, I carried it over from my previous opteron 170 setup as I hadn't used any of the S775 mounting hardware. Seems to work reasonable well. I also have 1 inlet 120mm and 2 exhaust 120mm as it's in and Antec P180. Even with these fans on high, I still get a 2-3C drop by removing the side panel. Also the CPU is lapped for max heat transfer.

I've heard the ASUS board is hitting > 400 fairly easy and that the MSI is similar. There may still be hope for this board, my 400FSB ceiling could be the CPU. Has anyone else tried OCing on the 6x multi?

Its well worth trying 425 x 6

Hi,

With the 6x multi I can get up to around 392Mhz
With the 7x multi I can get up to around 350Mhz
With the 8x multi I can get up to around 392Mhz
With the 9x multi I did get a post @ 400, 402,403...406 then no post. Couldn't get into XP @ > 402 though.

In all cases I tried a straight 1700 (425) and 1720 (430) but no joy, not a single post.

Ahh well !

In addition I ran a couple of Winrars at a lower mem frequency with faster timings.

333Mhz (667) 3-3-3-9 1T 1213
333Mhz (667) 3-3-3-9 2T 1084

Similar results to 800Mhz with 4-4-4-12

I reckon the NB voltage maybe ? I dont know how many abit users have the NB under water but I needed the nb 1.7v

Sounds like you gave it a good shot decto, that 1T adds a nice boost :)

Hmm, voltage could be the issue. With a small fan and the AS5 on the HSF I'm guessing it's mid 40's C as it feels warm but not hot. Following the change the only time I've had to use the CMOS clr jumper was when I tried to run the memory @ 533 Mhz 2-2-2-5 :) optimism is everything! As it happens once overclocked above 1066FSB the system won't boot with the memory set to 533 unlinked. I think there are some issues with dividers.

eg. @ 6x it wouldn't boot above 1466 until I set the memory to 830Mhz which upped the divider to give a little over 800Mhz rather than the 75x Mhz it was trying to run when set to 800Mhz.

Anyhow I have a P5N-E to RMA, it's been approved I just need to send it. If I get a replacement board back, I may just have to see what it can do :cool:

All for now

Just a quick question. The motherboard has a 1066FSB yes? If it does are you still able to say overclock it to 1333mhz so I could use that conductivce pen trick and make my E6600 run at 1333mhz on this board? :confused:
