...havent posted in a while but got a question... i OC'ed my 4400+ and its seems stable and all but every now and then my screen blacks out for a couple sec. or so...



thx, neezee

EDIT: idle temp: 38-40, stock cooling with artic silver

When does this occur and for exactly how long? Seconds, really?
Mine "blinks" at startup as it goes into dual screen mode (I assume there is some kind of driver transisition - MSI NX6600-TD256E video card). There is also an occasional blink with one of my CRTs when it gets very hot. Miine are fractions of a second.
I suspect your problem is video card related.
Have you tried removing the overclock and seeing if the blackouts go away?

[neezee]

prob fixed-ish

thx

[Neshi]

i want to overclock that x2 3800+ like i said before... but how do i include the memory in that?

[zaim]

i'm still trying to go further than 2.6ghz... i got my ram at 3-3-2-5 1T (1:1)
strangly enough.... i got have my voltage that high to sustain the overclock which is shameful, lucky i got a water setup to cool this baby otherwise i'd be cooking breakfast for everyone

here is just a weeee preview lol

The above program's what are they called the one on the left and the one on the right with the AMD symbol??

[Final8ty]

Could not find anywere else to post so i hope its alright here.

I just bought a 5200+ x2 so maybe, just maybe I can pull 3.0 or close to it out of it

[zaim]

just got my baby to 2.7ghz... awesome ram speeds @ 1t

[Zelig]

You aren't worried about that voltage at all?

I just swapped my Manchester for a Toledo chip, seems to be clocking better than the Manchester. I prime 10 hours at 2.6 GHz at 1.4 vcore so far, something is funny with my dividers though, if I raise it to 2.7 GHz, it won't even boot to an OS.

Nice ram speeds, I dumped trying to get ram speeds and went for the full 4 GB instead, can probably do some tweaking with the memory controller on my new cpu though.

[zaim]

not worried at all..

if it burns, i got an excuse to upgrade

[Zelig]

Well, playing with the DRAM drive strength allows me to clock my cpu up higher... strange, as I was running the ram way below spec anyway.



I seem to have gotten one of the last X2 Toledo cores, stepping is LCBQE 0649. My Manchester topped out at 2.6 GHz at comfortable voltages before getting flaky, that was a LDBFE 0621 chip.

[Zelig]

Well, I'm stuck. The cpu is stable at 3.0 GHz at least, but I have to have the ram running on the 1/2 divider to even boot anything past 2.6 GHz.

Looks like 2.6 GHz / 216 MHz is the best I can do without taking out some of my ram.

[zaim]

i'm running at 1:1 with my ram @ 2.7ghz.... I think this is the fastest i'll be able to achieve running 1:1

[procupine14]

Well my 5200+ gets here today, maybe I can pull 3.0 I don't know but definietly 2.8. We shall see

you should beable to get 3.0 out of it no probs mate...

on mine, ive got a [COLOR=red]4800+ x2[/COLOR] brisbane core running at 3.02 no probs....

and thats on a crappy board!!

ASROCK ALIVE NF6G-VSTA
4X512mb CORSAIR 6400 DDR2 800 RAM, @ [COLOR=red]4-4-4-12[/COLOR]
CPU running @ [COLOR=red]250[/COLOR][COLOR=red] X 12[/COLOR] MULTIPLIER, INSTEAD OF THE 12.5 DEFAULT FOR THE CHIP

stable for months now, either in vista ultimate, or xp sp3
runs games, apps, everything, without a single crash.

runs full load @ [COLOR=red]41[/COLOR] degrees, with a Cooler Master Hyper TX 2 cpu fan




.................and theres no upping of any voltages at all, all running @ stock.

everyone seems to slag this motherboard off, but i gotta say, its a little cracker.

[procupine14]

hmmm cool! So far I have only been able to maintain 2.989 stable which kind of angers me slightly. However, I haven't tried to push past this point on the new DFI board i picked up a little while ago
