Hang about, I'll just have a butchers...

 

[freaksavior]

it won't go about 400fsb i guess.

 

[mikek75]

@Tatty, the FSB Termination Voltage goes 1.2,1.3,1.4 or1.5. There was a warning in the manual that setting this too high can damage the chipset and CPU

Thats normal and says it on every board, what you on now? I would say go one higher to start with, you should not need to go above 1.4 for that FSB in any case, if it's set at 1.2 go 1.3 initially.

 

[mikek75]

Well, it was on Auto, which I took to mean the lowest number, 1.2v. I tried it at 1.3, no change (tried earlier on). I'll give it a go at 1.4v, see what gives. You don't think it might be my CPU needing more volts? Its at 1.4875v for 3.4...

mine needs 1.5 to reach 3.6 and be stable.. 1.6 to reach 3.8 and be stable.. 1.7 to reach 3.9 gig and be not totally stable.. he he

i have abit guru and do it all from windows.. it does allowing me to make quick and easy changes to find out things.. u could also try upping your memory voltage..

i would also suggest switching off the speed step thing in the bios.. its normal to do so..

i am stuck at just under the 500 fsb area.. with a 9 x multiplier the chip would go to 4.2 gig or so.. but its x 8 jobby is holding things back..

updated list....(got a new score he he)

 

[mikek75]

Well sod it, I don't know what to think anymore....set it at 1.525v and still couldn't get it to post at 450FSB, with the NB and FSB termination voltages bumped to max too. My RAM is already at 2.1v, can't seem to find any info as to a safe max for these DIMMs. I reckon its cos I got the el cheapo version of the p5K....

Yeah I would try a combination of the 2, increase volts to say 1.55V and go to 1.3 or 1.4V on the FSB, then just set your FSB initially to 3.5gig, keep ram speed in mind also.

 

[JFITZ]

i'll post mine as soon as I get my 9600 BE in.

 

[trog100]

To answer your question, here is the opening shot of 3D06 on my ladies SIMS(lol SLI) gamer

Note the resolution here. Max of what the 15"HP (HPvs15 is the model#) monitor can do.

so its clever enough to detect the monitors max resolution and swop down from its default.. assuming u didnt do that.. i tended to assume it just wouldnt run.. never had a monitor that couldnt handle its default.. so i have never given it much thought.. he he

still.. things are simply explained thanks for the screenshot example..

[sneekypeet]

I was wondering after you had posed the question , just to see for myself....Easy enough to get a screenie. No problem!

I've hit a wall I think....Been all the way up to 1.625v with fsb term v at 1.4 and 1.5v, upped RAM to 2.2v, just won't do it! I've set the RAM to 667 which is my lowest setting, as I say, I miss AMD's dividers! I managed to get 3.480 ghz, but after a couple of reboots it wouldn't POST. Cheers for your time though bud!

 

[trog100]

one more freak.. i cant see me doing much better things are pretty well maxed out..

core has a mild pencil mod raising the core voltage from 1.35 to 1.4.. i could take it way higher but cant be arsed to risk frying the poor thing it gets pretty hot at 1.5 volts.... he he

gpu core at 895.. memory at 1275.. cpu at 3.8 gig.. E6750 two core chip..

ps.. still wondering about the doctors lesser clocks giving him a noticably higher score thow.. he he he

So it couldnt be ram timings? have you set them to 5-5-5-15 just to be safe?

you're on an asus board you say?
disable hyperpath3 and enable SPDtimings for your ram. this should help immensely.

 

[freaksavior]

little confused trog.

Do you have a e6700 or 6750 or both?

 

[Dr. Spankenstein]

Just so we can put this to rest, what form of proof do you require?

Link for comparison.

Look at it yourself, although it is unfortunate that FM can't read these cards speed...


p.s. take a screenshot of our comparison. I'm sure someone will be able to decypher what's going on.

 

[mikek75]

@Tatty, been running 5-5-5-15 and tried 5-5-5-18 (which is one of the SPD timings). Wits end, LOL

@Random Murderer, don't have a Hyperpath3 in my bios, tried leaving RAM on auto, same result. VERY frustrating!

not auto, SPDtimings. there's a difference. maybe your board doesn't support it, but most newer asus boards do.

Mikek, I have just realised we are trying to overclock an E6750!!! for some strange reason I thought it was an E4300 So FFS dont stop trying! there is NO way the chip is maxed so it can only be 2 things, either your motherboard and it's settings or memory, so like I said, if you ensure that your memory's timings are set real loose then that should take them out of the equation if you are on the lowest divider.

Next, I have done some googling on your board and overclocking it.......................

Do you have the FSB Frequency setting in BIOS? and if so is it set to 333mhz? 2ndly, peg voltage back to 1.525V, thats more than enuff on a 6750 to get 3.6gig.

Can you lock your PCI-E? otherwise it will be overclocking with the FSB rise, if on auto set to 100 manually.

If you have an entry in BIOS called "Transaction Booster"....make sure it's disabled.

CPU voltage reference may need to be set manually, just go an increment up.

Next....hopefully you are not on BIOS version 0805!!

FSB STRAP TO NORTHBRIDGE MUST BE 333

I wont throw too much at you at this stage, suffice to say we WILL get you to 3.6Gig, tey the few items I have mentiuoned above first, look for the settings as it may just be one setting stopping you going forward, your board can reach 500FSB even with its fairly limited BIOS so dont give up! then have a BIOS read here:

http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&number=9&artpage=3034&articID=626

Come back to me if this lot dont work.......I have plenty more for ya!

 

[mikek75]

No, nothing doing there, DRAM Timing has two options, Manual or Auto, no memtion of SPD anywhere. Grrrr...

There is something called Transaction Booster, no idea what thats supposed to do. I have a feeling its my RAM thats holding me back, I don't think its capable of running much faster than DDR850....Just a feeling.

 

[Tatty_Two]

Now have a read of this muvvaa:

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=143133

Then tomorrow night I will test you on it all and we can move forward!

Go through everything I mentioned first, the transistion booster needs to be disabled etc, and your ram is capable of 900mhz+.....strap at 333???

I am off to bed now, need me beauty sleep! we can continue tomorrow, we will get there, even if I have to drive down and sort the fookin thing meself!

Aww, thanks bud, much appreciated!

FSB Frequency....ain't that what I change to, for instance, 450 for 3.6ghz? Or am I being thick, lol!

PCIe is set to 100 already, but the northbridge strap is on auto, I'll set that to 333 tout suite!

I'll check out that guide too, ta!

And no, I'm on the last proper BIOS, 0704 IIRC. Don't like beta's!
