Opteron 146 ...Check it out!!!

[RoboCod]

...no its nothing exciting I just wanted your attention

Could you just check my OC and tell me if it all looks ok?

Setup:
CPU: 146 on XP-120 HS (293 x 10. HT x 3)
Mobo: DFI Expert
Mem: 2gb G.skill ZX 3-4-4-8-1T

Ram is on a 140 divider which means 290/10 x 7 = 203mhz. Would I benefit by upping the divider and raising the freq of my Ram? Are my super pi times ok?

Does anyone else here have a similar setup? Could you tell me all the timings you have set for your memory, there are so many on the DFI

Nice

Nice

Although thats a very nice comment its no blooming help J! Should I try increase the divider or volts or anything at all?

Can you tighten the ram timings any more ? Looks good though I take it you have pc4000 memory. Run on a 166 divider & see if its any quicker ?
If you can't tighten the timings,then you are as well running on a higher divider

I used to run my 146 @3Ghz using a 166 divider on the memory. Super pi was 28sec

Changed my ram to pc3200 @2-3-2-5 200Mhz & it was just as quick than pc4000 3-4-4-8@250Mhz

A64 does benifit from tighter timings

No Im using PC3200 so perhaps I can adjust the timings, it wouldnt boot into windows with cas 2.5 before though. Ive also increased the volts on the chip up to 1.55 in the bios yet it reads as 1.4 in all the monitors

 

[Rob43]

What's the default timings on your ram mate ? have you changed the ram voltage ?

Cpu-z always reports the wrong cpu volts.

2,5-3-3-8

have you changed the ram voltage ?

Yeah theyre up to 2.75v

 

[Rob43]

Try changing the divider to 133,it maybe just dosent like that divider.Can you get it to 300x10 ? You would then have your ram @ 200Mhz, maybe allowing you to tighten the timings.

Worth a try

also your using a very old verison of cpuz

Hi mate

what bios are you running cause i just got my dfi expert friday and cannot seem to get 140 or below dividers to work.
