Yep, already using HTT multiplier of 3. I've basically set pretty much everything I can think of. I've tried setting my memory timings manually, setting it to 2t and with my mems default timings of 3-3-3-8, but still unable to go over 2.5ghz :/

Hmm... what BIOS version are you using? Played with chipset and HTT volts? 1T, TRC and other memory timings? What PSU are you using? What are temps like? Tried with just 1 DIMM or different RAM?

I'd like to try and help you nail this if poss, cos I have the same board!

Hi guys back again,been trying all afternoon and still getting nowhere. One thing I did notice is when I set the bios back to defaults and loaded the 10% AI overclock the system booted. This showed up correctly in CPUZ unlike before, after going back into the bios to disable onboard sound and etc the system then refused to boot at this setting. For some reason enabling the floppy drive (even tho' I don't have one ) allowed it to boot once again.

If I try to manually set cpu with the settings I had (the AI 10% overclock) the system refuses to boot.

I bought the Asus A8NE boards because I thought they where solid and would overclock no problem, but am now (after 4 days of trying) very close to giving up!

I really would appreciate any further help

Thanks

ok got it stable in two different senarious. Its ok when

148 @ 2900mhz
ram - 2.5-2-2-5 @ 211mhz

or

148 @ 2981mhz
ram - 2.5-3-3-6 @ 271mhz

both get the same super pi score give or take 1s. Which one of those 2 should i use? Not sure whether itmakes a difference in games or anything

Btw you get better RAM performance if you run that last RAM timing at 7 anyway on Nfrc 4's

i got my chip today. a 148 CABYE 0450 very pleased with it. I also got my giel ultra-x pc4400.

but im having trouble getting to 3.0ghz, currently stuck at 2.9. My ram is running at 2-2-2-5 1t and my proc is at 265x11.
cheers

your timings are too tight, ive got the same ddr and it dont like 2 cas, drop it to 2.5 and youll be fine
i run mine @ 2.5-3-3-6 all the way upto 280mhz on stock V

benktlottie · 5 Nov 2005 at 19:09

This is as high as mine will go on air. Tried different multis, dividers and voltages. Will be running 24/7 @ 2800. Would have like 3ghz 24/7, but more than satisfied with thei £110 processor ! Will hit 3ghz stable one day, the memory controller seems a bit fussy !

benklottie: What batch and batch number is your CPU?

LOL, It's always said that no matter what PSU I use !!! Must be a dodgy sensors on the Mobo (its a DFI SLI-D). All the other sensors report correctly though.

I have one of these Hiper 580's, with 2 x 12v rails, one has 18A, the other 17A

Ummmms ... I never knew they were producing these cores as far back as the 50th week of 2004 :eek:

PS I fancy it might be a CABYE 0540, like a lot of the Opteron 14x's from OcUK this week past

Could you 144 CAB2E owners tell me your batch numbers please? (last 4 numbers on the bottom line).

Would be interested to know which ones are clocking better.

Edit: Particularly interested in yours ken if you could take a look for me.

hi m8, just change my heatsink today, my batch no. = 0435

here is the news guy, i just found the new daddy of quiet air cooling : TT Sonic Tower

using the same fan on the Big Typhoon, Sonic Tower is 5C lower :cool:

the next level is this :

lol

for kesnel who wanted batch numbers ..
cab2e = 0963 - 9x308 1.5v
cabye = 0564 - 10x300 on 1.45V

cab2e = 0963 - wont budge past 9x305 even with 1.7V
cabye = 0564 - 10x300 on 1.45V

Looks like I got lucky with my CAB2E at 3Ghz maybe, its settled in nicely with 1.65V.
