OT but I thought all A64 3200's had a 10x multi with a stock speed of 2Ghz?

Hmm, mine at stock was 11multi with 2.2GHz :confused:

It's S754, so it's only got single channel RAM, so it's got the extra 200MHz to make up the difference (and more if I remember correctly).

Probs just a difference performance index from socket 939 due to the lack of dual channel RAM capability on 754.

edit - beat me

Still stable?

Duration : 26 minutes 24 seconds

And at 45C still. :confused:

It didn't get anywhere above 47C, maxed between 44 and 47.

Edit : Running large in place FFTs now.

Just had a big ass problem with my keyboard and only just managed to fix it, resetting my bios was my attempt at fixing it. So when I did fix it I decided to up my fsb to 235 from 230. It works fine, idling temp at 35-40C, but sadly SP2004 doesn't agree. Errors practially instantly.

Anything i may need to change to get higher than 230?

Edit: I think my CPU needs more power but if I put it any higher than 1.55 it just dies :confused:

I'd let it run overnight, say 8 hours worth to test its stability. You could always try a different higher voltage, sometimes boards dont like certain voltages or fsbs for whatever reason. Also, a bios update might be worth a shot. It could be that you've hit the limit of your chip though, and TBH 2.5ghz is alright for a newcastle.

The current is as solid as a rock and can't see it failing.

I'll be sure to try higher voltage, never thought of that.

I got the bios update and the flasher but i'm not sure how to do it, so I gave in :rolleyes:

I just want to keep pushing as far as I can.

It's addicting.
