Overclocking Q9450 with Prime

Antec900 · 13 Apr 2010 at 18:32

Ive located my ram timings on the corsair website, do i manually put these timings in the BIOS? Same with the Voltage?

Cheers

EDIT: I cant actually get Intel BurnTest V2.4 to run for some reason, says,'linpack binaries were not detected, please keep the LinData folder next to this file' which it is. Ive tried downloading different versions too, get the same thing.

Yep... Go into ***memory timing settings**** and select MANUAL. The memory voltages should be in ***system voltages****

Ok thanks.

Would you know anything on the Intel BurnTest?

Cheers

Hmm still get the same warning message.

Antec900 · 14 Apr 2010 at 17:24

I ran Prime this morning and im still getting errors after 3 mins!

What should i do next?

Thanks

Whats your MCP voltage, you're going to need to push this pretty far with 8GB.

From what Ive read rounding errors are todo with memory, saying that I got one and upped my vcore a bit and didn't get it again.

Antec900 · 14 Apr 2010 at 17:38

Ive taken 4gb out, which leaves 4gb left. I will try the other 4gb when i have stable OC.

As for the Voltage for MCP, as said above its 1.5v and on auto.

Anyone?

Antec900 · 15 Apr 2010 at 18:57

Could anyone tell me why i would get errors with Prime on 'inplace large FFT's' than i would with Intel Burn Test?

Cheers

I think 'inplace large FFT's' is a fault with memory, IBT only really tests cpu.. Some might be able to clarify... You may need to change your memory timing.

Yea could be mate, the memory timings are to manufacturers spec, what should i do as i dont really understand memory timings?

Cheers
