Overclocking an AMD 64 4000+ San Diego please help!!!!

try ram at 3,3,3,8, fsb at 250, ht at 4x and multiplier at 10.5 with the 9.9%. then if that is ok for a prime run of a few hours up the multi to 11, i don't think your going to get it any higher than 2750 at best with the voltage options on your board, so that would be the best settings for you if they work i think.

if you manage to get the 2625 running fine with the 10.5 multi and not 2750 with the 11 multi then it will be your cpu voltage that is limiting you :(

i dont use msn or have anything else we could talk on i'm afraid.


there is no need to set the ht to 3x as i have never used a 939 board that can't handle a 1040 ht link, its only when you go above 1100 that you need to start lowering it on some boards.

i tryed 3338 before and it just didnt work the bios booted but the windows logo wouldnt come up, how come it wont work. its madness i will try it again in a min but i very much doubt it will work!!
 
if it is working at 2.5,3,3,8 there is no reason it should not work with 3,3,3,8 as slackening the timing should help stablility so it should be easier to get it working at 3,3,3,8 and according to your speccy screens that is the correct timings for your ram at ddr 400 speeds.
 
ive got it as 2.5, 3 3 7 mate but honestly it just doesnt like me changing the 2.5 bit to 3 i know my speccy says my timings is 3 for latency but how come it doesnt like it lol.
 
ok then you could try adding 1 notch of vram voltage if you think this might be causing the instabilities.


so you have 260 fsb with the multi at 10.5 giving you 2730 mhz, the ram at 2.5,3,3,8 @ ddr 420, 3 x ht so it is at 780 and the cpu voltage up as high as it can go and it is prime stable at that ?
 
ive just reset al my setting and changed, my ram settings to 3338
these are my setttings at the moment
dram frequency 200mhz
FSB/DRAM cpu/12
cas latency 3.0 clocks
ras to cas delay 3.0 clocks
ras precharge 3.0 clocks
cycle time tras 8.0 clocks
bank cycle time 12 clocks
command rate 2t
dram idle timer 16 clocks
 
the ram settings work with my default setting but the highest i could get it with them ram settings is fsb 235 ht 4x and multiplyer 10.5 any higher it just wouldnt boot mate thats strange isnt it!
 
set the ram multiplier to 166mhz or the divider down from the one that gave you 200 when you reset everything if your ram showing as 235 mhz in cpuz or speccy now.

if it isn't try resetting everything and in this order set -

the ram to 166 mhz and the 3,3,3,8 timings
set the ht to 4x
set the cpu voltage to 1.45 with the 9.9% increase
then set the multiplier to 11 then set the fsb to 250

do it in this order and see if it works, if it does run prime for a few hours monitoring temps.

if it doesn't you should just go back to the settings with the 260 fsb that was stable as i'm out of ideas :(

that all looks good in the screen shot :)

if it passes prime for a few hours you could try upping the multi to 11.5 or try upping the fsb 2 or 3 at a time until it doesn't pass prime.

but in all honesty with the voltage options available to you i think it is near your limit.
 
chipps ive managed to get it up to 2771.98mhz using 252 as fsb and multi at 11, but the only problem i had was when ht was at x4 it crashed so i changed it to x3 and it works! my ht link is 756.0mhz is this stable or is it best to change it back to fsb 250 and have ht link at x4 so its 1000mhz

AGGRESSIVE TIMING - DISABLED

DYNAMIC OVERCLOCKING - DISABLED

ADJUST CPU FSB FREQUENCY - CURRENT SETTING = 250

HT FREQUENCY - CURRENT SETTING = 4X

HT WIDTH - CURRENT SETTING = DOWN 16 UP 16

CPU SPREAD SPECTRUM - DISABLED

SATA SPRED SPECTRUM - DISABLED

PCIE SPREAD SPECTRUM - DISABLED

PCIE CLOCK - 100HMZ

ADJUST CPU VID - 1.450V

EXTRA CPU VOLTAGE - OVER VID 9.9%
CPU VOLTAGE - 1.593V

MEM VOLTAGE - AUTO

NF4 VOLTAGE - 1.50V

ive decided to back to the original settings that i had last and got 2750mhz that you suggested nothing else was stable anyhow. these are my final settings, anythink else you would change chippy!

that was strange with the settings i tested prime95 with yesterday it just crashed, but i was surfing the net, doing another prime95 test and a deep system scan with bitdefender.
also in task manager my total ram is 2559 in idle
cached 659
available 1734
free 1186 surely this isnt right is it chipps!!! my ram isnt being used probably?
 
i wouldn't worry about what task manager says about your ram as long as the machine is running fine and responsive enough.

if it passes prime at those settings also run intel burn test on the highest setting you can.

51c isn't to bad if that is what it is saying in coretemp, not sure which temp speccy takes but if thats in coretemp it'll be fine.
 
how many tests shall i do with prime95 shall i leave it on all day or not. im just concerned as to why the system haulted earlier on was it because i was doing to much do you think? yeah i deleted speccy i am using coretemp and those are the temps it is saying!
 
i generally do at least 4 hours in prime 95 and 20 runs of ibt and if it passes that i can be fairly sure its stable and start using it.

sometimes the strangest things can trip up overclocks though.
