overclocking amd 6400+ black

[fullinfusion]

just in a goofy mood thats all JR... tyme to go play gears of war.

 

[JrRacinFan]

Actually, I didn't like the game at all. Although, Guitar Hero III is kickass.

 

[fullinfusion]

oh yeah the wife plays it all the time on the 360 and it is a sweet game.. as for gears i had it for 2months and didnt play it except for once for like 5 min and didnt like it but now i love it

 

[PyroX1040]

ok ppl im cant get a straight answer here... on cpuid i click on memory and it show's
DRAM FREQ 383.3.... i am running 1ghz 667mhz stick.. so is the memory really running at 766mhz? 383x2= 766... when i over clock
Core speed=3.45
multiplier x 15
Bus speed 230
Ht link 1150

What's the vcore set to?

Oh btw, I played both on my PC. I don't own a 360 and I want a Wii.

I know I went slighlty off topic but going back on topic. Have you tried pulling your HT multi down and trying to tweak out some more speed out of your chip?

 

[fullinfusion]

DDR voltage is set to auto

 

[mackdaddy2887]

Here is my cpu-z info. I got a question about the mem though. Everything Is set to auto, what is a good timing for memory? is 4-4-4 better than 5-5-5? I really dont get the mem stuff.

 

[mackdaddy2887]

hmm

ok i dont know how to upload

 

[PyroX1040]

DDR voltage is set to auto

no for your CPU not memory >.<

 

[mackdaddy2887]

oh yeah, and should i set my cpu voltage myself? or auto? I have the same bios as the OP.

 

[mackdaddy2887]

Not sure, But everytime I go to 3.5 and above, it runs fine then out of the blue after playing a game for a bit or just randomly, system crashes and reboots. Some blue screen saying anti-crash or something and something about a mem dump or something.


edit: cant be temp's because im running water, everything stays around 30c v-card went from 61c to 40c when I added it to the system

Might want more cpu volts. What is it getting now? Check in your BIOS's monitoring page to see what it's at, then manually set it a step higher.

 

[mackdaddy2887]

I believe pcprobe said cpu volt was 1.5? could be wrong. Ill definetly check that. What would you suggest for a 3.5 oc?
3.5 cpu
240 fsb
x14 multi
x4 ht link= 1000


edit: My CPU-z screenshot above shows a 1.472 voltage
edit edit: What would you suggest I do for my mem?

 

[j00sh]

alrighty, i finally got some things straightened out and i was able to get a stable 3.45GHz with:

HT Link multi: 4x
PCIE: Auto(defaults to 200MHz)
CPU Multi: x14
CPU Freq: 232MHz
Vcore: 1.5125
VDimm: 2.2

ive tried setting my PCIE manually, but it always defaults back to 200 (hense the drop in the HT link multi) is there an inhibitor on my BIOS that would do this? Do I need an update?

 

[mackdaddy2887]

hmm

Ok so I looked at what my system had the v-core set to when on auto, then up'd it. When at:

3.5
x14
250
1000ht

cpu-z said my v-core was 1.48 or something, but sometimes cpu-z said it jumped to 1.504 when on auto. So I manually set 1.500 as v-core. BUT look at these of my cpu-z. it says someting different than 1.500?

 

[mackdaddy2887]

Hmm.. just did another 3dmark with the 3.5ghz, take a look.
average temp normal is around 40-45core 1 and 30-35 on core two? thats what core temps says anyways. A little higher than before. Working on my processor score. under load I believe the temps were high 40's on core 1 and 37ish on core 2?

should I work on my mem now? or continue to push my processor? I havent had a single crash since manually setting v-core, even though i set it as 1.5 and cpu-z reads 1.55ish, pretty stable during 3dmark06.

edit:
I'm running 2x CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) AND 2x G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

 

[fullinfusion]

hey macdaddy thats a great setting... try this setting since your running 800mhz ram
fsb=233
multitplier= 15
ht/north gate x5 or 1 ghz
cpu volt =1.51
this gives you 3.495ghz at 1165 ht bus speed and inturn takes your memory up to 932mhz which is fine for the 800 your running.
check your CPU ID and click memory tab and it should say dimm = 466mhz
466x2=932mhz
this gives you great cpu o/c plus speeds up your memory.. try it and let me know how it works

 

[fullinfusion]

my psu is fkd up... all of a sudden id get a cpu over volt warning of 3.54 and then a drop to .30 volt..... well the shop ran a test and yes the psu its toast... oh well its under warenty.. the whole system and it wont be ready till next friday ... so im stuck on my ol p3 lap top.... i swear a snail goes faster then this p.o.s computer... but like they say the ol neva dies lol

 

[mackdaddy2887]

ok cool Ill try it tomorrow, In my earlier screen, i was at 3.5 with 250 fsb and ht was at
1000, so what would that make my mem be at?

edit: sorry to hear about THe PSU

edit edit: so if my fsb was 250 ... that would be 500x2=1000 for my mem speed on that oc?

 

[mackdaddy2887]

oh and what was that about the mem timings? should i change it from 5-5-5 to 4-4-4 and up the mem volt to 2.0? or was that just for the 667 ram?

To see what your ram is running at, run cpu-z, and select the memory tab. It will show you the actual speed of the ram. Multiply that by 2 to get your DDR ram speed.

Also, yes, up the volts to your ram. Auto usually means 1.8V, which also means crap OCing in most cases.

Auto voltage FTW?

Well I have managed to get my 6400+ to 3.6, take a look, what do yall think?

 

[mackdaddy2887]

Nice OC on that. You should try setting your HT link at x4 for a 1108. Im not 100% positive but I think I remember people saying its good to keep it around 1000-1200? any higher wont grant you any benifits.

how is it running? Stable? I just might try for 3.7 now that you got 3.6
Let you know tomorrow.

edit:
ok I 3.6=repeatable, but 3.7 ..... man!
tried a little of everything:
336*11=3.696
308*12=3.696
285*13=3.705
265*14=3.710

changed HT link around a bit to keep it around 1000
changed vcore to about 1.535, I didnt wanna go much higher, didnt know what was TOO high ya know?

anyways, nothing would work, just failed to overclock and tell me to change it. Maybe I need to mess with my mem to get 3.7? Or up my volts? What do you think would be to much? Help me get to 3.7!, then ill run 3dmark, monitor my temps with riva, and im on water so it aint bad.

Thanks man.

I would up the volts(at least 1.550) and try the higher FSB one, but make sure you lower your RAM's Clock Speed first from like 800 to 667.

I as well am trying to get to 3.7, I have tryed various combinations too, its very difficult.
