I'm getting this error I have my memory on a 166 divider.

This is my overclock

no I had on 200 and it did it then too I did at 200 before the 166 I've read that changing the DDR to 2.7volts can help what do you think?
 
Bit off topic here.... But what cpu temp and mobo temp reader is that??

And it probably means your cpu isn't very stable. My opteron does that on 2.8 i can only get it to 2.7 no errors.
 
Whats the normal speed of a 3200+ (Im not clued up on AMD unfortunately) ?

That error in Prime95 basically means the overclock isn't stable. Erroring out that quickly means it is very unstable!
 
I've taken the DDR up to 2.75 and primes running longer I'm crossing my fingers as there's no problems so far. (Touch wood)

Normal speed is 2Ghz.
 
What sort of stress tests are we looking at doing here? There are like, three options. For torture tests?

Edit: also, can i keep my multiplier on at 10 instead of eleven??
 
I doing the Large one with max heat output. Its been doing it for about 1 hour, I'm gonna get it to 3 hours before I delcare it semi stable, then tomorrow I will do a longer one and some 3Dmarks.
 
How long does the test last or is it up to me how long I want to leave it running?

I might go bed and leave it running and if everythings fine when I wake up that'll do. It's not like I'm going to play Fear for ten hours straight. :D
 
Hmm....well, i'd say three hours is good, if it hasnt erorred out by then id say its ok? But best leaving it over night. Preferably with a temp alarm and volt alarm monitoring it. I have thunder probe and it has volt alarrms and temp alarms which allow it to shut down the pc if it gets too hot or just alarm me :p God, the prime95 test takes ages! i'm at 2.3ghz on my opteron 148 on a 10x multiplier (havent touched HTT)and my fsb is 230mhz. Doing a stress test now, but i know this chip can reach speeds of 2.7-2.8 on stock.. anyway i can speed this process up? Obviously i dont wanna damage it..but the only way your gonna damage it is by heat, right?

Edit: and too many volts lol. my ram is at 2.7 and my cpu at 1.4 :p
 
If a CPU gets to hot in the past I've notice a PC will start behaving strangly like very laggy and un-responsive now if this was to happen while running prime surly prime will come up will an error and stop. There for I wonder how important it is to keep an eye on my temps as the stress test will stop anyway if there's any problems cause from my cpu over heating.

Well... you got asus pc probe v2 right? Surely that comes with some sort of temp shutoff device, or something that will wake you up in your sleep incase things go **** up? Bah, just turned my opteron up to 2.6ghz (10x), and am running stress test. No errors so far. How long should i leave this now to see if iget any errors? Ideally im heading for the 2.8. No more. :p
 
Well I'm at 2.6Ghz on my 3200+ using the retail fan. lol As the optys are better clockers and not only that isn't the 148 opty a 2.2Ghz cpu? I'm guessing you should get 2.8Ghz fine.

I'd see what others say thought as I'm going on logic and not fact.

In Asus probe 2 I've gone in my config and set the threshold to 50C and ticked the box I hope this is all the safty I need to do.

I normally run the tests for about half an hour to 1 hour between each 10mhz-20mhz fsb step, then once it starts to produce errors, back off one step, and leave prime going for 12hours or so to confirm that its stable. Remember that your pc is highly unlikely to be as pushed during normal use, including gameplaying as it is under prime95.

Aye, same here. I'm stable in half an hour of prime95, on 2.7 but on 2.8 it gives me an error more or less straight away.. Hmm.. I've tried everything sort of setting but still no go. I get an error on p95 at 2.8 no matter waht.


Yeh watch tower, my 148 is standard 2.2 but im finding it difficult to get my cpu stable at 2.8. i also have my thunder probe set around 50. although im only getting 38c on 100%load.
