I NEED HELP OCing my RAMPAGE

[asb2106]

Im gonna post some screenies of my bios here, I was wondering if anyone with more experience could fill me in on what I can do to make it run more stable.

Im not running the clocks there now, im running 425FSB with 1.6v on the proc and 2.3 on the ram 1.68on the NB

Either way, i can hit 4.00Ghz pretty unstable, it might last for a couple hours and sometimes only 10 minutes. I want to hit a very stable 4.0ghz with my memory around 1100 give or take 50.

My specs are in my sig..... I can get the memory up to 1030ish stable, but to run at 450FSB I either run ram at 900 or like 1070. And I cant keep it stable.

Please any help is great, and Im open to all suggestions!

disable cpu TM function

oh crap, I thought it was.. thanks

Here we go:

Set strp manually to 400. Check the Transaction booster and see if they are in the neighborhood of 6, 13 is too loose.

I'm surprised your RAM isn'tdead yet. 2.5 + Loadline Calibration is probably in the neighborhood of 3.3V!

1.7 or 1.8 should be plenty on the NB.

Oh I actually run the ram at 2.3 and I leave the loadline off. I wasnt paying much attention when I took those screenies. I was taking a shot in the dark and it didnt work anyways

AND what should I put the FSB at. Any tips on the timings for my memory? If I run them real loose will the higher frequencys be cancled out?

 

[Dr. Spankenstein]

You could set FSB strap to 333 or 400 and FSB to 430. That would set you up for a tRD of 6, which is good.

Try 333 strap FSB of 430 and DDR861. Voltages at described above. (RAM @ 2.08V in BIOS) ASUS boards overvolt RAM.

got it, Im gonna try it in now and restart

 

[Dr. Spankenstein]

@ 450FSB (4050MHZ) you'll most likely want to run 6:5 (1080) for mem. 3:2 would be DDR-1350. Don't think you RAM would make it (even @ 3.3v!)

yah no kiddin, what should i use for the FSB Termination voltage?

And what about those reference multis for the CPU and ram and what not??

Right now this is what Im booting at

1 sec Ill post a screenie/.....

 

[Dr. Spankenstein]

Start with 1.3. IF it's stil unstable work up to 1.6.

 

[panchoman]

you need help ocing on your rampage, and not ocing your rampage, also dont capitalize almost every word in your title like attention seeking noobs do.

sorry, had to say it.

 

[erocker]

At 1.68v on the FSB I would try around 1.5 for FSB term. voltage. perhaps a little bit more.

hey thanks, that was a huge help, please keep it to yourself next time

 

[asb2106]

this is where I am at right now.....

For some reason I cannot get 430 stable. It locks up every few minutes. I have this up for 15 minutes

 

[asb2106]

If it stays stable all night, Im gonna drop the CPU and NB voltage some to attempt to drop the temps.

almost 20 minutes..... Im gonna try to make a 3dmark run

 

[Dr. Spankenstein]

Have you run Memtest for that speed?
You could try 1:1 (DDR-850) and determine that the CPU is the limiting factor.

at 430 i was running the ram @ 860, and I had the voltage set at 2.3 in the bios

 

[Dr. Spankenstein]

If you still have Loadline calibration enabled, you are more than likely running 3.1V through your RAM.

To ask again, have your run Memtest to verify if you RAM can handle that speed?

no, memtest runs before windows right?

can you link me?

also this is my score right now......

and I have loadline calibration disabled

The memory is cool to the touch, no heat whatsoever actually

 

[Dr. Spankenstein]

And your problem is....

That score is pretty sweet!


Yes, it runs before windows. Here is the link. Go to free download and get the .iso. Burn to disk, set BIOS to boot to CD.

 

[asb2106]

ok, running memtest now, been going for 3 minutes. How long should I let it run, will it go through the process and finish or does it just go on and on? OH NM, I think I see it, its says Pass = 5% and test is moving faster, when pass is done, does that mean its good to go?
Update : Just hit 10% at 6 minutes

 

[asb2106]

MemTest Results

At 1020mhz with 2.2v in bios, 2.33 actual, memtest completed without error, 6 full passes and 5 hours later.

Im running Orthos right now with these clocks

and I hope it stays up when I get home from work!

that nb voltage seems high at 1.8v m8 really cant see you needing that much 1.55v to 1.67v max id say anyone know how much heat the nb can take?

try turning off dram static read control and set the pcie at 110mhz

THANKS! I want to make sure its stable at the settings this morning, at lunch Im gonna drop the voltages on the NB and CPU alittle.

Tonight Im gonna try the DRAM static read and bumping up the PCIe buss

I might be wrong, but isnt is possible to cause damage to stuff when you push the PCIe bus to high?? 110 prob isnt toooo high.

And will that just give me more bandwidth to deal with??
