WTF??? FTW!!! How did I get on here?: http://valid.x86-secret.com/records.php

Someone please explain to me how this happened??? I have no adjustable FSB:RAM divider, it auto-sets, I have value RAM and an ASROCK mobo with VIA chipset (yes W1zz, VIA!!! :D) I don't even have the option to up the DIMM voltage by any set amount, so is this a mistake, or just some crazy ass perfect coincidental component combination? :wtf:

EDIT: That's weird, they guy in #2 place for Highest RAM Freq has the same mobo as me!?

lol :laugh:
that is just for ddr, right?

LOL, I thought so at first too. But then I notice all top 3 are using DDR2.

if its ddr2,my ram is 900mhz.

Can you post a pic of your CPU-Z stats (first page & RAM page) so I can compare our numbers?? Thanks!

here ya go-

main-


ram-


this is with my chip at 4.05ghz,i have had my ram to 1000mhz at 3.75ghz.it is prime and orthos stable at 4.41ghz with the ram at 441/882mhz at 5.5.5.15,with the vcore at 1.450v.i run it at 4ghz for everyday use,when i get some w/c on it i should be able to run it at 4.41ghz 24/7.the temp is a little too high at that for 24/7 use.

Hi guys,

First post. Do any of you have Pentium D (940). If so can you change the cpu multiplier from 16 to say 15 in BIOS? The reason I am asking because I have this processor and ASUS P5WD2 -E Premium meotherboard. The RAM is XMS2 DDR2 800. The cpu cooler is copper core Gigabyte ???? Pro with artic silver compound used.

I like to push the FSB to 1Ghz and with x16 at the processor it would be too much. So there is an option in BIOS to change the cpu multiplier. But is remains same when I check after changing and rebooting the machine. If only I can lock this then reliable specs of my system becomes CPU=3.65G FSB =1.05G Mem = 890MHz

Any suggestion in general or specific to the MB.

Thanks.

In the bios, go to advanced tab, and go to cpu configuration. Then set intel speedstep option to "minimum speed" to lock it at x14. Once you've doen that, you can also change the multiplier while in windows by using Systool ;)

Thanks for help. But with my ASUS PW5D2 -E Premium MB (bios v0604 ) it do allow you to change the multiplier directly but resets it to x16 (D 940) after reboot. The Speedstep can not be changed but has disabled or automatic as choice. I never like to do OC from software after the boot so I prefer it within the BIOS only.

hmm, is there an updated bios for that board? you should be able to set it at minimum at least.

I have got mine to 3.74Ghz, 220x17 prime95 stable

Can get it to 3.82Ghz, 225x17 but isnt prime95 stable

Cant unlock the multi, shows the multi greyed out in the bios, have asked asrock if this can be unlocked but they say no :( apparently this is because intel dont allow for the multi to be changed, but in everest it says the multi can be x12 max x17 min, so im abit puzzled?

It runs fast though, which is always nice! 10% oc, which is better than nothing and temps are not a issue!

It has alot to do with my mobo and the ram i got though. my dad has an e6400 and 800mhz ram on the gigabyte 965p-ds3 and we overclocked it to 3.2, and we could have gone alot more. so, i'm a little disapointed that I can't overlcok the 945 much. I also found online the place compared the 945, e6300 and a amd (not sure which one) and the 945 was at 4.2ghz so, it must be my ram and mobo

Can you unlock your multi though? Raising the FSB surely would make a huge benefit to speed, not just the speed of the cpu!

the very first time i hooked the system up it asked what i wanted it at, and it was either 15, 16, or 17 and i chose 17, and now it won't let me change it. i wish i could change it. cuase i might underclock it.

I bought mine with a new mobo, but it never asked me what I wanted :(

Surely there must be a way to change it! 250x15 = 3.75Ghz would give it a effective 1Ghz FSB, which would be nice indeed!

Have anyone tried the 805 D. Got a friend who has his running 4.0Ghz with water cooling. (Thermal take's) cabinet with built-in water cooling, and a Asus Wdg board...He says that it is running perfectly @ 4Ghz and temp. @ 38 idle
