ripken204 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 tomcat-what are u stable at now?i have finally had some success today. ive burned in last night and that got me stable at 265x10 1.513now im testing 270x10 and it seems to be stable so far at 1.582vive tried 1.586v before at 270x10 with no luck but after a few weeks i am able to do it now ill let prime run for about 24hr since im going to be busy tonight, and ill report tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) 290x8.0 @ 1.300V, MEM @ 2.70V, "southbridge" @ 1.50V.I tried 292x8.0 yesterday but that got me an error after 1.5 hours. It's now running at 1.325V again and I'll test it tonight.I shouldn't try 293 because it'll freeze Windows at some point.BTW... Prime95 is playing tricks with me again. You got me on the right track last time when you said I should set the affinity in Task Manager as well. This worked twice, but it doesn't anymore. I can only run one instance of Prime95.Check list:- Copy the P95 program files to two folders- Set one to CPU0 and the other to CPU1- When started, go to Task Manager and set the one for CPU0 to CPU0 only and the other to CPU1 only- Start the Blend test for CPU0 and immediately after the Blend test for CPU1It looks like I'm gonna have to use Windows XP for this sort of thing and not 2K...

ripken204 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 3hrs worth of prime, i need to do some other stuff so i dont have any more time to prime. looks vry good to me so far, now its time to check if the ram can handle it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfm Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 @ripken204,just be aware of vcoreDfi is a monster, board overvolt vcore by about 4% from what i've seenTake vcore form cpu-z and x it by 1.04So in reality you run ~1.60 vcore or higher Some dual core may die at 1.77v real vcore or higher.My opteron holds 1.81v (measured with multimeter) strongly. Buth that's only for benching sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 how do u get that? the bios is telling me 1.57 . woudlnt there be something telling me the voltage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfm Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 There's currently no bios and no software that can display voltages accurately To check real volts you need a multiplier. On DFI LanParty nf4 everything is overvolted. Basically from what I've seen, BIOS is 2% off of the true value. Remember that BIOS also rounds up the numbers.So ~1.57 x 1.02 = ~1.60v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 not true that everything is overvolted. when you are clocking dual cores rly high like i am trying, it tends to undervolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 just burned for another 28hrs! im gunna do some priming and see how it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdogg Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 burn it , burn !!lolgotta love burn-in'son my current setup, it just lead to, allowing less volts, not more speeddarn 754's blew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 well the burn doesnt seem like it helped anything i wasnt trying to get more speed, im just trying to get 2700 wiyh less volts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdogg Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) yah, 2.7 is still nice for a dual corethey produce more heat.how low did u get with burn-insI did burn-ins for a while, got .1 diff once Edited January 5, 2006 by gdogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVGrimReaper Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I have my X2 4200+ running very stable at the followingFSB: 333MhzCore Speed: 2667.3MhzMultiplier: x8Core Voltage: 1.35HT Voltage: 1.55Memory: 222.3MhzCPU Temp: 33Degrees C at Idle (Stock Fan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekrel Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I find that both my SLI-DR's undervolted, and so do others by the same percentage.using special vid percentages seems to give more accurate voltages. 1.45 * 110% gives 1.536v for me.Also burn-ins helping overclocking = myth.The only way you can get a chip more stable at the same voltage is to decrease its resistance, something I can't see coming from a "burn in". You can of course use phase as a cold chip = less resistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porn Loader Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) specs:opty 175 0543 MPMWSI-120 w/ panny M1A fanDFI LP UT Ultra-D (OCZ tony's 7/23 bios)2x1gig OCZ pc3200 el (OCZ OCZ4001024ELPE)BFG 7800GTX1x maxtor diamondmax 10 300gig sata2x dvdrom3x120 fans (including cpu)OCZ powerstream 420w1st nite i got the opty, ran 230 1:1 (2530mhz, 3-4-8-4, 2.8v) fine at stock voltages (auto,1.33v in bios, other voltages +.02). next day, wouldnt boot at stock voltage. had to up vcore to 1.475 at the above settings. (bios read 1.45, cpuz read 1.33 wtf?) 2 instances of prime would fail at the above almost instantly, it would reboot the pc. 06 benches hung in varying places. had to drop ram to 225 (1:1 still) to get a complete 06 bench or prime (only about 2 hours). then went back to 230 with a 1:2 divider, still the same. havent had any time to dig into ram settings to see if 230+ is stable. i have 2x512 of mushkin pc3500 lvl II that i can throw in, but i'd like to figure out my set up as is....my main issue now is the voltage readings for vid control. cpuz and everest tend to agree, but are WAY under whats set in bios, plus bios doesn't even read close to what i have it set to (+/- .025v) so thats kinda holding me back. im worried about adding more voltage.
