Instability

[pt]

Does this mean Cpu instability?

I raised the vcore to 4,25, and overclocked to 2.55ghz, in pm95 it ran ithout problems for 10 min, but in SuperPi it gives that error

Yep, that's caused by an instability.

That cpu's multithreaded though right?

Try this: Stress Prime 2004 - Orthos Beta version (multithreaded)

First run it on cpu only, then do cpu and ram.

How do i know if it's multithreaded?

For how long should i let it run?

Being Instable could damage my cpu?

Thanks for the quick answer Infrared

Nah, it wont do any damage, it just means its running too fast or without enough voltage.

Let it run on cpu only for about 10 minutes, if it hasn't started flashing red, the cpu's stable. Then move onto the memory, again, give it about 10 minutes, to see if that's stable. If it's all ok, delete all but the original files for superpi, because sometimes after an error it will keep coming up with an error message until you clear the cache.

Multi-threaded. hmm. I think AMD call it hypertransport. Look in the task manager and if the cpu Usage history box is split in two then you have two logical cores.

EDIT: cool, you have the case i'm getting silver or black?

did you drop your htt back a step it might be running up to high am2 should run at 1200mhz or 6x so drop it back to 5x and maybe it will work

 

[pt]

it's in Portuguese, but i think you understand, i if understand what you said i only see one, it's at max because i'm running the PM95 version you told me to use

The case is Black, and it's beautifull, once i get a camera i will post it in the case mod gallery

The stock HTT was 5, it is now at 3, since i started overclocking

i was trying to use superpi to do some stability testing last night.

but it seems to only be single threaded, true?
so i launch 2 to peg both cores. and the second one always crashed.

i'll try out that app infrared.

My experience

Does this mean Cpu instability?
I raised the vcore to 4,25, and overclocked to 2.55ghz, in pm95 it ran ithout problems for 10 min, but in SuperPi it gives that error

In my experience, that is the exact error I get when my memory is overclocked too high.

Usually if the cpu is too high, I find that out before i even get to super pi.

that's my guess too, since the Athlon 64 can go higher, my ram is stock is at 533mhz and it's now at 730mhz (i was aiming for 800, but i guess i'm not getting there )

On Prime95 orthos version it is now running for 7min. without a error on the memory test

 

[cdawall]

yah he has a point there ^^^^^ ummm drop all the way down to 100mhz on your ram divider and try loosening the ram timings

edit
opps ary your on ddr2 o well drop back on your divider

Uh, no, AMD does only physical cores , no logical BS here(aka hyper-threading)

If you don't have a dual core AMD processor, then you aren't multithreaded.

my board doesn't have a divider

 

[bigboi86]

my board doesn't have a divider

I guarantee that it does. Asus not putting a divider option in a brand new mobo? Pfft..

It's not labled as a "divider"... go into the dram options where you adjust timings and stuff, and it should be there as (200,333,400,433,466, etc)

Some motherboards use Ratio's, percentages, or dram speeds, but they are all "dividers" because it makes the ram run Async.

You just didn't look hard enough

I asked this in another thread, and after hours of looking into the BIOS
i didn't found nothing

 

[pt]

Prime95 just stopped after an error on the lots of mem test, going to BIOS trying to solve the problem, does putting higher timmings or higher voltages fix this?

 

[cdawall]

ouch that sucks not ewven a way to set the at some lower number (no dram timings or nuthin)

 

[bigboi86]

Holy overclock batman!

What's this:

Setting your memory to 400mhz would be running a "divider" and lowering your memory speeds.

It's definatly different on the DDR2 platform though. After reading your BIOS.... wow... wtf is CPU on-die termination? Then it gives ohms and stuff.. wow.. lol

i can change the rams to ddr2 533/400/667/800, but i am "still aiming for 800"
The problem was solved putting the ram with 1.90v, it was at 1,85
Thanks for all replies

doesn't putting my ram at 400 won't block it from going up?, i haven't tried it yet

i am trying to get to 800, because a moron on a Portuguese Forum said i was a big mistake buying ddr2 533 for a AM2 system and that i was losting lot's of performance in buying 533, moron :shadedshu
On Benchmarks i'm winning at athlon 64 with the samme overclock 2500mhz, and btw, that moron bought ddr2 800 especially made for AMD for a whole lot of money with worse timmings

no the 400mhz wont block it from going up it is just like me setting my ram at ddr200 when it is really ddr266 it still goes up w/ the oc just not as fast

Ah, thanks for clearing that up... I'm an AMD noob

It's all a matter of voltage, it his now at 2.6 and keep going up

How do i know if it's multithreaded?

Open/Run taskmgr.exe, get into its PROCESSES tab.

Use its VIEW menu, & then its SELECT COLUMNS submenu.

Be sure to checkmark the THREADS one.

Next time you look @ taskmgr.exe, in its PROCESSES tab? You'll see threads by process in a new column... which WILL show all running apps (except for various services brokered by svchost.exe etc. & there's tasklist.exe in commandline mode for that iirc) & the threads they bear in their code.

That's not quite true...

Some "F.Y.I.":

HyperThreaded &/or TRUE "SMP" (more than 1 actual physical CPU) support multithreaded applications & operating systems, just fine!

BOTH of those also very nearly exploit them NEARLY as well as DualCore CPU's do!

(Intel HyperThreaded being the 'worst of the lot', & iirc, smp/true 2-N cpu's present being next (because there is cpu-to-cpu communication that is SLOWER afaik, than DualCore CPU's have since they are on the same die physically)).

APK

P.S.=> On single core/single cpu setups, you CAN use multithreaded applications/code, & OS' but they actually will run SLIGHTLY SLOWER, because multithreaded code actually has more initial overheads than single threaded code does, nor does a singlecore/singleCPU setup FULLY exploit the availability of 2-N threads per process (no extra CPU for the OS process scheduler portions of OS kernels to send threads off to another least used/unsaturated CPU present, if & when needed)... apk
