Opty 144 OC help please.

Siders77 · 15 Jun 2006 at 16:36

So I got my Opty through the post this morning and started clocking it. I was told that it did 2.66GHz on stock volts. (1.8GHz stock)

At the moment I'm up to 2.1GHz but when I try and test it with Super PI to 8M it comes up with the error message "NOT EXACT IN ROUND" So I was told to up the core voltage to 1.55v and it still says it...

HTT Multi is set to x3.0 and CPU multi is set to x9.0.
My 2GB of OCZ RAM is running at 200MHz with timing at 3.0-3-3-7.

Full spec-
ASUS A8N SLi Deluxe
Opty 144
2GB OCZ RAM
BFG GeForce 7800GT OC.

Any help would be great.

Yeh, sorry it's 3:2

Looks like it's not me. I've tried many, many different things and it's still failing Super PI and Prime95. God damn it. :mad:

And to think I swapped this for my Venice and £45. Even my Venice clocked higher than this. :mad:

Yep, I've tried different dividers and it's still the same.

Yewen is helping me check to see if the BIOS is an old one that doesn't work with Optys.

EDIT: For got to say which stepping it is- CABNE 0545BPMW

Yeh, I've just updated my BIOS to see if a newer one offers any more support for certain CPU's.

Cheers for the help so far.

Have you got the Multi set to Auto? I had it set at then and it kepy jumping from x9.0 to x7.0. I set it physically to x9.0 and it's been fine.

HeX said:
Indeed mines at 2.8 @ 1.475V.

No help to you though!

Drop your mem divider as low as possible, take your HTT down to 3x.

Add +0.1V to both LDT Bus and Chipset.

Is your 2Gb of mem 2 x 1Gb sticks or 4 x 512 sticks?

It's 2x1GB

1.45v I think.

Just been playing about with it again.

It's not having any of it. :mad:

I've tried the RAM at DDR400 and DDR266. Timings at 2.5-3-3-7
Got it up to 240FSB with the HTT at x4.0 which booted fine. If I up the FSB anymore it won't boot at all. Not even if I put the FSB back down to 240.

This is really annoying now.

The option to set the multi in my BIOS is under Jumperfree Configuration, I think it's the option just under the CPU Core voltage....
