well if you all entered a number above 10 and it maxes at 9.99 perhaps it doesnt allow numbers higher than that.. just needs resolving by the creator

Doh my fault, having a 144 I forgot to test the multiplier :rolleyes:

Will fix it today or tomorrow, MySQL database is on my old drive and I ermmmmm just built my new rig.

Just passed 10 hours of Prime at 2500MHz at stock volts.

That'll do for me I reckon.

Until I get a better cooler that's where I'll stay I think.

Richdog · 9 Nov 2005 at 12:25

With your cooler mate you should be more than fine for 2700mhz at stock volts... don't undeerstimate the stock cooler... and don't overestimate your temps. Stock volts and 2700mhz is still almost as cool as 2500mhz.

Hehe, must admit I hate testing software I've written. A few bugs always manage to creep through. Nice DB otherwise

Could you also take a look at the memory divider field, and the temp fields so they'll allow minus temps?

Cheers for the links above

Just getting this stable @ 2.8.. had to bump the volts to 1.625 and I put the chipset voltage upto 1.65 to see if that helps too.

edit: Seems to fail SP2004 after about 20mins on both CPU & Blend tests

Temps were about 55c.

Demon[KcsF] · 9 Nov 2005 at 17:20

Right I have started o/c'ing

Currently at 265*9(2384Mhz) with just a slight increase in CPU and Chipset Voltages.
SuperPi 1M is at 37secs so far

Ram currently at [email protected],3,3,6

Just ran SuperPi 32M @ 39m 08s and all seems very stable

What RAM have you got Demon? What stepping is your processor? I run my 144 CAB2E at 2340mhz (260x9) at 1.4v (lowest my mobo will go) and RAM at 212mhz on a 166 divider. My RAM is Geil Value 2x512mb, and somehow it is stable at 2,3,3,5 1T!!!

I can get into windows at 300x9 (2700), but at 1.5v it is unstable. What motherboard do you have?

Cheers,

Danza

I have 1GB(2*512MB Matched) Corsair XMS3200C2PT.CPU is a CABNE @ 1.45v and RAM is at 216.8Mhz on 166 Divider @ 2.5,3,3,6 2T.
My mobo is an Epox 9NDA3+

**EDIT** Upto 2.5Ghz(278*9) with RAM at 227.3Mhz

Bossman · 9 Nov 2005 at 19:47

My 144 failed Sp2004 after 6hours!!! That sucks! I'd still consider that pretty stable though. I'm going to run another all day Sp2004 stress test tomorrow with settings 9x311 which is still 2.8Ghz but 4 less than when it failed, i'm tempted to put the volts up to, what do people think?

...

theboyrob · 9 Nov 2005 at 20:00

what stepping is yours bossman?

Mine won't go above 2.52Ghz with 1.45 which is the max my board will give out.

Bossman · 9 Nov 2005 at 21:00

CAB2E 0540 FPMW

I couldnt tell you anymore than that since the CPU is under the gun.

Duke · 9 Nov 2005 at 21:04

Can't get my 148 stable past about 2.4 :rolleyes:

think it's my board - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=17274130

Any help please?

No problem

matt1 · 9 Nov 2005 at 22:41

Bossman.

I'd run a program like CPUburn in, or Burnmax (better from what I've read) for 2.8GHz @ 1.5v for say 2-5 hours then try priming with SP2004. I'm not sure if it will work, but apparently some people have had good results from this method, apparently it only works if your system is near stable and not erroring all the time (sounds like your system).

You could save yourself some time, mine is a CAB2E and its stable at 2.8 in everything including 10 hours of prime, your solid now abuse those mhz

No 2 processors are the same ,even if they have the same stepping ,he still needs to stability test

Strangly I couldn't hit 2700 at stock volts. I could try running a lower divider on the ram. I was running it at a 166 divider (CPU/12?), which puts it over 200MHz but this Corsair _should_ be fine over 200MHz. Right?

Edit: Tried it on a 133 divider and Prime fails after about 20 seconds. That's 270x10 stock volts (with the CPU/RAM in my sig and an EPOX 9NDA3 Ultra.)

Richdog · 9 Nov 2005 at 23:51

Bump it to 1.55v then you should be 100% fine with the stock cooler.

Thanks mate will give it a try in a sec. Might as well see if I can hit 3GHz on that voltage as well. It's at 1.35 (CPU-Z/Speedfan and the BIOS all say the same thing) at the moment.

Demon[KcsF] · 9 Nov 2005 at 23:53

Currently running Opty 144 CABNE CPU@290x9/1.55v, RAM@133/2.6v, [email protected], HT is set to 3x. Not sure of the stability though, ran SuperPI 32M in 30.38, 25114 on 3dMark01, but Mark03/05 have really major problems running. Got the latest version of both but they run with major graphical glitches and won't even finish. Tried knockin the CPU down a bit but when the same was happening @250 i decided it wasn't really gonna make a difference. Can someone please point me where to go next on this? also i couldn't get it to run any higher than 275 under the above settings without removing 1gb of RAM. I'm left with 1gig at the minute, anyone who can suggest how to get it running with the 2nd then i'd much appreciate it. really lost on what to do next if anyone could help us out, cheers.
