Hi Guys
This is my first time on Anandtech forums. How is everyone?? I did a search for A8N-E and led me to this amazingly long thread about the motherbaord that I have as well. Anyway I have a problem and i hope that you guys can help me out. Below are my specs:
-X2 939 4400+
-A8N-E
-G.Skill DDR400 2x1GB 2GBHS (Samsung UCCC)
-PowerColor X1800GTO 256MB
-80GB Seagate SATA HDD
-120GB WD IDE HDD
-TT 480W Silent PurePower PSU
I recently bought the G.Skill RAm based on the Samsung UCCC chips. From this site:
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/GSkill/3200-2GBHS/2 The RAM can achieve pretty high overclocks of approx 246 2.5-3-3-8 1T at 2.6V.
For me when i try to overclock there is like a barrier at around 225Mhz to 230Mhz, and no matter what i try (increase latency, increase RAM voltages) it won't budge. I'm very sure that it can go higher. I use memtest86+ for testing RAM stability.
The last post on this thread:
http://www.overclock.net/amd-motherboar...skill-f1-3200usu2.html?highlight=2gbhs says there could be incompatibility issues with UCCC and the A8N-E. Just wondering if anyone here has heard of this or can confirm it??
With the barrier I can still overclock everything else except the RAM. This is what i can get:
-HTT Multi: 4x
-HTT: 260Mhz
-CPU multi: 10x
-CPU Vcore: 1.4V
-RAM divider: 333/400
-RAM Voltage: 2.6V
-RAM: 216Mhz, 2.5-3-3-6 2T
CPU FREQUENCY: 2600MHz
Is there anything you guys can suggest for me to try out go get rid of the 'barrier'?
I'm using bios version 1010.
Thanks guys.
