Any one know of a fix for the "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval" BSOD?

I still get it even with the beta bios. ( so reverted to f5 AGAIN lol)

Only happens when the CPU is under heavy load how ever it doesn't always happen.

I.E at the moment I've got it prime 95 stable for hours, games I've tried run fine.

How ever it's happened once when installing a game ( but didn't happen next boot up when I tried again) and it's happened whilst using photoshop.


CPU is fun and fast this is literally the only problem I have with it. Annoying as hell.

I've gotten that one a few times when stress testing a new OC, and upping the voltage a bit always fixes it. Although that applies to Phenom, I don't know if that will fix BD

Up your vCore to 1.325v, TEST, then up it to 1.335v and test again until you get rid of this BSOD. If you find the sweat spot in speed and volts, I normally up the volts very little just to ensure it's stability.

That's the thing, voltage doesn't fix it.

Yeah Amd overdrive reports the TEmp of the cores which reads like 14C-26C for me always jumping around.

However if you get another tool you will see the CPU temp which for me says 35C.

I used OCCT to read temps.

Now my question is which one do I worry about? Should my Cores not reach 55-60C? or should the overall CPU not reach those temps?

For Bulldozer I believe you shouldn't go past 65C, though it's rated to handle up to 90C, it will just limit it's live. In the bios the CPU temps read approx: 35C to 38C. To me that sounds more real.

That's the thing, voltage doesn't fix it.

When you installed your Bulldozer, did you do a complete format and an OS re-install? Because I had a similar issue back in the day where I had a Phenom I and swapped it out for a Phenom II and the bloody thing would always BSOD me with OC's, so I fixed this by a complete format and a Win OS install, though this may not fix your issue.

What's your settings like?
HT speed? NB speed? Ram speed?
--------------------

Also for everybody waiting for me to do Core disabling comparison via Benchmarks, I cannot because I don't have the ability or the software to disable a single core per module. Even with the mod bios, it still did not let me do this, it was also very unstable for me, I think it did not like my 16GB of ram, so I went back to the newest ASUS bios for my Crosshair V Formula. Hopefully with ASUS's next bios revision, they will give us the ability to disable cores per module.

 

[pantherx12]

Settings were
multi 20
fsb 220
ht speed 2400 or so
nb 2400 or so
ram 1443 9/9/9/24 ( I hate ram adjustment, i can do it just to lazy)

Will give a fresh install a try, might give windows 8 a go.


By the way since my bios supports it I've disabled 1 core per module in the proper way, and I'm going to be running some tests, if anyone wants to throw some my way, shoot.
Edit: scratch that for some reason it's not stable if I do this.


Anywhom!

I want to clarify something, with the latest bios my voltage setting @ stock in cpuz reads as 0.050 lower than it should be just want to know if it's saying x amount in windows is that what it's actually getting?

I don't want to accidentally over-volt ( in the bad way) my cpu due to bokred readings.

Judging from stability I'd said it really is lower but I'd like to be certain, many thanks.

*edit* After some testing using bios f6c I've come to the conclusion that yes, it's whats going on in windows that counts.

This bios is really odd though these are the results I had with v-droop with the latest bios.

Bios setting on the left, windows read out on the right.

1.2850v 1.2320v
1.3375v 1.2800v
1.3625v 1.312v
1.3875v 1.344v

Not had v-droop this bad in a long time, (certainly at these voltages, much higher voltages I would forgive these numbers more)

Anywhom can someone let me know if they think my temperatures are to high for my cpu cooler? I expected better performance.

clock 4.3ghz bios voltage 1.3875 windows voltage 1.344 temperatures don't go over 60 but that's 2 degrees off the recommended limit.

Is it my cpu cooler not mounted correctly ( I've ghetto rigged it so I can mount it horizontally, I can twist the cpu cooler slightly so I'm guessing pressure isn't that brilliant)or is bulldozer really that hot?


I'm hoping it's just a case of tightening the mounting of the heatsink, please let me know what you guys think.

Here are some useful information and guides on overlclocking BD. I wish they were more specific for my 6100 but for you 8 Corers out there have fun.

Cheers man, seems my temps are high after all if they're using mid range air cooling D:

Guess It's time to take my entire system out just so I can remount , again lol

Well it's worth it if it means lower temps.

Might as well dust it out a bit while your at it.

Well I've lowered temps by 3c by tightening up my ghetto mounting a bit, seems the spacer I made are perfect and I didn't need to be so cautious

Although temps could be improved a bit than that, the radiators have come on in my room so ambient is 21 in here where as they where 18 when I was initially checking, will have to wait for tonight to be sure.

I imagine some non cheap thermal paste would help lower by another 3-5 c as well.

Ahh well any improvement is an improvement I guess XD 1c degree can sometimes be enough to turn an unstable overclock into a stable one.


This beta bios is a lot harder to overclock with XD 5 degree increased temperatures vs f5 and the terrible v-droop D:

What mother board?

See if I can't hunt you down a beta bios


By the by nice work goes to show it doesn't take a lot of voltage for these cpus to be stable. ( although I bet water cooling helps a lot! heh)

When I get a job think I'm going to have to go back to water cooling, think I'll invest in a 420mm one this time round.

Or take do what velvet wafer done and ghetto rig a truck radiator into a loop XD

it´s a crosshair V Bios 0903 ...... fully watercooled on 2 loops, 360+120 on cpu,nb,vrm´s and a 280 on the 6990

the 4800 mhz runs out of the box just raised multiplier...
and the temps are very decent.... for unknow reason the temps are getting shown arround 10 °C lower on core temp then with AIDA.....

Use AMDs overdrive software for temperatures, seems to be the most accurate, although all of them show completely inaccurate idle temperatures.

My chip is being really fussy, sometimes it will run intel burn in test for hours/prime 95 for hours.

Sometimes it crashes straight away ( with the same bios message)

Going to step back to 4ghz for a while until another bios comes out.

Also is this any newer bios wise ? http://www.asusrog.com/forums/showthread.php?6220-CVF-beta-UEFI-9921


I've been trying to find if your board has a Application power management option but no luck so far.

For now if you go on over drive, enable turbo core and then disable it that will fix the problem, but only until you restart : [


By the way, anyone else using air cooling?

I know this chip runs fairly warm but i'm hitting 62.4 in intel burn test it just seems to high for such a tremendously large cooler.

I have the oposite, in Windows my vCore reads a little higher yhan the bios reading. Also if you like you can run some tests at stock speed and compare in disabling a module will or will not gain you better performance vs. disabling a core within a module. I believe disabling one core per module will get you better performance vs. disabling the whole module.

If this is the case, then what the hell is AMD doing, in Turbo Mode, AMD should re-adjust the way the cores get disabled, by disabling 1 core per module.

I don't trust AMD's Overdrive for temps. I was running a CPU burning software and my ASUS utility was telling me I was hitting 58C while the AMD Overdrive was reading 27C. And my idle temps are like 7C to 18C. Something wrong with Overdrive IMO.

I have my FX-8120 stable at 4.40 GHz (200 x 22 @ 1.375v), (HT @ 2.60GHz), (NB @ 2.60GHz) By upping the NB, my memory reads and writes went up. Though I had to up it's voltage to 1.2v compared to the stock 1.1v.

As for that ASUS mod BIOS, AMD has been working close with ASUS, but the last mod bios I used for my setup was quite unstable. Though I would like to see the release notes for this new one. I am using the newest one off the ASUS website and it ensures memory stability which is a big plus for me.

I despise AMD overdrive as well. Never really worked for me.

 

[fullinfusion]

Stable @ 4.5ghz

Im still waiting on Erockers 4.5 Stable setup he said he would share with me
Id just like to compare settings for temperature reasons.

The temp below hit 57c as I was pushing the cooling to see what she top out at on lowest fan settings. I hit the fan controller to full throttle and the numbers started to drop. If I wasn't such a stickler on clean air into the radiator Id have a push rather then a pull system and remove the filter to let the air flow better...

But anyways here's my ATM 24/7 settup

And for Cadaveca and crazeyeye's... Id post this but cant, says the thread is to old... But I ran it and test number #2 sure had a sweet increase over the PII cpu. Check out the numbers... It looks good IMO.

I sold the chip before I could get some bios screens. Looks like you're doing fine though. Get your RAM to 2133 cas 9 or so. Performace will be a bit better.

Managed to get mine stabilised at the same voltage had to reduce my CPU nb speed though, over drive gives me the right temps fir sure as my bios temp alarm goes of as soon as over drive hits 60c.

What temperatures are you getting under load.

If this reads oddly its because I'm on my phone.

yes water but the side's are on the case and the heat is also turned on.. its 21c in the room and having a pull fan setup don't work the best...plus its drawing 400 watts from the wall... I think a twin 120mm rad is only good for what 300watts mabey? plus it's drawing the heat off the mobo... I just need to get some new hose and plumb in my 2nd rad...
That is just a stress run... Plus the part time temp dont bother me as I never had any problems with any other amd chip.
