Wow, I love this CPU

10 x 290 HTT
1.55v
Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro (42 C under 100% load!!)
RAM @ CPU/15 currently (193Mhz)

The 1M time was 30.453s but yeah I definately need some better RAM

It's a CAB2E stepping btw

Nice yeah for a CAB2E,

Get some PRIME runs mate as Super PI dont mean jack.

How so? I've had Super Pi keel over on me with less voltage etc, it must mean something

Yeah, get a 6 hour Prime test run on that and also play some of your fave games. . .

I can't be arsed with Prime but I've been playing Battlefield 2 and FEAR for hours with no probs

Ok ok I get that point, I'll Prime it

Any particular test I should be using?

Dave

CodeThief · 30 Jan 2006 at 12:46

Thanks xsnv, I'll leave it running tonight

Ok, well primed it last night, but only at 2.8Ghz

Need to figure out where the problem is with 2.9 ....

Increase the CPU/VDimm voltage slightly and try again at 2.9Ghz

I'd love to but I've already modded my ASRock board to get 1.55v, that's the most I can get out of this board

There's also only the option to go to 2.7v on the VDimm

Looks like I need a better mobo to clock higher. Oh well, I'll wait for my 6800 to die so I have an excuse to get a PCI-e card and a DFI board

Ah, did not check what mobo you have.

What you can do is slacken the memory timings to see if that gives you stability at 2.9Ghz but that will only work if the memory is the limiting factor.

You could also be limited by the mobo though or the CPU.

Well the memory is only running at 200Mhz anyhow at 2800Mhz (CPU/14(DDR150/300)) so I don't think it's that. I suspect it may be a board.
