Overclocking Problems

digerati · Jun 27, 2003, 11:50 PM

Specs:

Athlon XP 1700 (Not sure of the core) With a Dragon Orb 3 7,000RPM Fan.
Asus A7N8X Deluxe with Bios 1004
1 Stick Of Corsair 3200CL2 512MB (Ram Timings are 6-3-3-3 CL2 I think)
Antec TrueBlue 480watts
100gb WD Special Edition HD with 8mb Cache
Sony DRU-500ax
ATI Radeon 8500DV With Crystal Orb and Ramsinks
Sound Blaster Audigy 2
And Thermaltake Xaser II Case with 5 case fans.

I can't get the FSB to go up higher than 141 without random lock ups, and if I set the multipliar higher than 11.5 the motherboard won't post. Any ideas?

Have you ever been able too?

Also, what is your vcore set to for cpu? try upping the voltage?

Actually on my old Soyo Dragon plus Kt266 chipset I got the FSB to 143 with 12.5x multipliar and it ran stable. And that was with kingston valueram =\

On THIS rig- not some other motherboard..................????????? Second question I asked- did you see that one?

digerati · Jun 28, 2003, 03:25 AM

No not on this rig, I couldn't even get it to 140 stable before the corsair ram. And I'm a bit weary on upping the voltage on such a little overclock, but I'll try it

I've had my old - ass slow motherboard to above 150 before - actually 153 one time. with pc2100 ram. and a Palimino locked with no agp or pci frequency control w/ a crappy generic PSU- I think you have something wrong there.

I upped the voltage to 1.750 and set the fsb to 145 and a lock up on welcome to windows =\

- What are your temps? Why don't you try relaxing the mem timings to make sure your ram is ok? How hot is it in the room? Are you saying now that it runs stable at 144 and locks at 145? Before it locked at 142? Did you try reducing the multiplier so the cpu is running at stock speeds to see how high the FSB will go then? Have you ever successfully OC'ed a machine before? I mean, dude, you have some serious problems if you can't get that hardware to run any faster than that. Did you build it? Maybe the temps are too high and you need to reinstall the heart sink or something.

I mean damn, I can run my old hardware allot faster than that- (fsb) you should start RMA'ing things

You can find my bios information

ok........set your Vcore back to stock........set your memory timing to opt not aggressive....or just manually set them to 8-3-3-3.....that way you can take the memory out of the loop.......increase your DDR voltage to 2.7 just to make sure you are getting enough to it.

Also.....what revision board to you have?

digerati · Jun 29, 2003, 12:34 AM

Roadee was very nice and helped me and he came to the conclusion that most likely it's a Palamino core.

BWX · Jun 29, 2003, 09:40 AM

How did you turn the voltage UP to 1.75v on a Palamino core? That is default voltage on a palamino core- I know, cause I have one. Are you sure it is a Pal.? What did you turn it "up" from? Don't T-breds run at 1.65v or something like that? And anyway, you said you set the multiplier to different settings, that would also be a way to take the CPU out of the loop and still raise the FSB. Am I right? If that is the case you should still be able to raise the FSB way higher that 140. I was running mine at 143 all day long yesterday. Just making sure you have nothing wrong with some other peice of hardware ^_^, I think your rig can do better.

Hit me up on Aim. We can get things settled out better there.
