Winchester 3000+ OC results

[420LoBoB]

i changed it to 133 and i changed it to 9X294 and it was running good scored 11400 in sandra for CPU im gonna try and get it higher

 

[stnick80]

Sweet! congratulations man. I'm glad I could be of some assistance. Post your entire system and settings in a post or edit your sig so we can see your results ;P.

I'm planning to try and overclclock in the next few days when i have a better understanding of what i am doing.
hoping to gain at least 2.5Ghz with 277x9

I understand that 1:1 would give you FSB on the DDR of 277Mhz. PC4000 is 250Mhz, so i would need a divider of 166. How do you calculate the acutal speed of ther DDR in Mhz with a 277FSB and a divider of 166?

i believe you can download something that will calculate it for you.

i dont have a host to post my pics :S i cant beleave how stable my system is at 294X9 iv been on all day! and no stablity problems! my vid is up 5% im just wonding how you calculate that number for the voltage?

 

[stnick80]

Up 5% means your VID (Vcore) is up 5% what its set to. The default is i think is 1.50 though CPU-Z and MSI corecenter will read around 1.40v. I have my VID set to 1.525v I think with +10%. CPU-z and MSI corecenter say that is 1.60v. If I had to guess I would say that you are probably around 1.44v, what does CPU-z say?

 

[420LoBoB]

i have my cpu voltage at 1.50 and 5% vid and i get around 1.5 1.53 on cpu-z

 

[stnick80]

go to www.cpuid.com for CPU-z. its free.
go to http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm for Prime95. its free
go to http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=36 for superPI. its free
go to www.aquamark3.com for aquamark. its free

This stuff will help you get some information and stress test your PC to make sure that it is in fact stable and will help you on your overclocking route.

 

[stnick80]

umkay, wow so yours is actually accurate. kick ass. you still have a bit O' volts to play with if you want to take that route but I believe your memory is going to end up being a limiting factor. besides at 2646MHz 294x9 you are already haulin ballz

 

[stnick80]

Oh and by the way, i didnt want you to host a picture. I just wanted you to post a list of your hardware and your BIOS settings for your overclock. Like in my signature. =D

ah ok ! will do

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum 1.4v bois
AMD 64 3500 Winchester @ 2646 1.504v ` RPM 5200 HT@3
i have a good heatsinc but not sure of the name at the moment! 35*C right now tho
crap ram DDR333 2X512 slot 1&2 @ 189 MHz cas 2.0 everything is auto divider is 133
GeForce 2 MX400...
i dono what happend to my GF4 Ti4600.. like i put it in my new board and like the screen dosent turn on and i hear no beep when it starts up.. cost me 500$ back in the day the screen like gose on and off.. never stays on.. u know what it cuold be?

unnown brand PSU 400watt no problems with it so far almost 4 years old now!
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum Pro

thats my rig!

 

[stnick80]

Congratulations man! You have got a hell of an overclock considering your the memory you are using. Goes to show, that memory aint all that. You got a nice 3500+!

 

[420LoBoB]

haha right on!! i ordered it from the states too! cost me a bundle :/ i think board and chip and nice heatsink it cost like 485$ US and then 144$ canadian for the usp brokage fee..

I have almost the same setup as you hehe.
AMD 3000+ Winchester

XFX 6600GT agp

I will try overclocking it past 2.4ghz, It has been just randomly rebooting in the middle of a high-load program. I tihnk my ram is running too high I dont have it set to any dividers, this is the top choice in the Cell > Ram settings in the bios right? So far my temps are fine with 35C idle and around 42C underload with a XP-90. I just need to do alot of testing, sometimes it wouldnt go past the POST and froze before the windows load screen.
Have you guys bumped up the voltage unless the comp wasn't booting? Also anyone else experience random reboots while overclocked? My CS:S Sometimes freezed up or comp just rebooted after a few minutes. Its not the PSU I have an Antec 400W, and not that many components.

 

[stnick80]

go make sure your LDT(HT) is set to 3x and set your memory divider to 166. crashing most likely means that you arent at a stable OC. You should not have reboots unless you are unstable. I don't have reboots.

As for voltage. I only raise it after I find I can get no more out of it at stock Voltages. for me that was 280x9. It will be different for everyone.

 

[420LoBoB]

iv been ocing all night! here are my latest resaults!

298X9 2682mhz @ 10% vid 1.552v divider at 133
267x10 2670mhz @ 10% vid " divider at 166 sandra cpu little over 1200
278x8 2224mhz @ same divider at 166 sandra bandidth 5500 my best mark so far!!

not bad for 4 year old ram id say!

and if anyone has ever had a video card turn on and off while booting up tell me! dose that mean its fried? i hope mine isent if it is im gonna have to buy new video card

 

[stnick80]

nice

the 298x9 2682 is the setting i would leave it at. It should be the fastest. Remember max bandwith doesnt mean a whole lot if you cant use it. the 298x9 should be the best setting.

as for the VGA stuff, i started having problems retaining my video settings after 295x9. windows would boot up like i never even set the resolution 1024x768x32. it boots up in safe mode resolution. that is the only thing stopping me from my 2700MHz. cause i prime fine at 2700 and games play fine too. i just have to re-do my video settings after every boot. i guess my video card isnt happy or my agp lock's performance dwindles at high HTT freqs. I dunno

Awesome... where did you get your motherboard and CPU? Did you write down the stepping? I'm interested cause that Neo2 Platinum/3000+ combo on ZZF is looking very attractive for $300.

you can do better than that...try newegg or search pricewatch.

The motherboard is $148 shipped but it currently out of stock... the CPU is $149 OEM... so $297 plus I'd have to buy a heatsink/fan for it.

The combo at ZZF is for that motherboard with the retail processor for $304.

 

[420LoBoB]

its not the video card i have in right now i have a GF2 in my system right now.. and its PCI!!!! it sucks.. my old gf4ti was nice.. i dono what happend to it dosent boot up in my new or old computer.. thats why im using this gay gf2
