The Official PC building thread -3rd Edition

well i cnat change any settings on hte NB volts os im stuck there.
and i just tried 500fsb and it wouldnt boot... took the mem out and put back in the ddr2 800. all is well at 3.82ghz oc and mem running at 850mhz total fsb at 1700.... thats where it stays. when i get my new build going i will worry about getting more of a OC.

and my temps right now is 39-41c on core1 core0 has the stuck sensor at 45c. temp have been as low as 32c. so maybe with the vendetta they will drop to 27-30c

 

with your lowest multi right?

YOU CANT CHANGE NB VOTLAGES!!!!!

huh?

WTF, is the nb v not called sommat odd like mch?

 

That does sound odd, even my P35 board had NB voltage options I'm pretty sure of it.

 

well if it does has NB voltage i dont know what or where it is.it does have MCH which is the SB i have it bumped up a bit to 1.2

 

MCH is the NB. ICH is the SB.

 

mch, confusing

mmm yeah bumb that up to 1.35 thats holding you back, and set the VTT to 1.3

 

Heh, I like how you're sure. It made absolutely zero difference to my overclock...

 

well see. i was told the MCH was the SB volts....then that is my problem cause i have only taken it up to 1.24as the highest ive had it. as for the ICH i know i dont see anything for it to adjust.

well let me go in and bump the MCH upto what? 1.35 or so?
heres the next question with takeing the MCH up would that help the vcore volts not need to be as high? caues ive been takeing up the vcore and not messin with the mch any

VTT whats is that? i also can adjust the cpu pll, but once again i dont know what that is for and what it does??

 

I don't know if your board will have a southbridge voltage control, I wouldn't think that'd be too necessary. The northbridge is the one you will need. (MCH = Memory controller hub)

 

ok leave VTT, and PLL right now, you wont need those yet, though you may need them a bit later.

stick to your 9 multi, and crank up the FSB to the next important setting (450).

put the MCH to 1.35 atm, and hopefully that will work.

upping the MCH does not mean you can lower the Vcore, it allows a higher FSB, which is not normally attainable.

can you take a picture of the voltage options on the bios?

 

well i put the 1066 back in. got my oc set back to 3.8ghz fsb set at 423 again. useing the 266 strap with 2.4 multi mem running at 1058mhz

all is well again. once again here is where it stays. couple months and ill be running a quad and will be happier..lol

 

ok since ive installed this new mem the puter shuts down and i keep getting this error from it. i cant seem to open them file to see what it is. maybe a file association problem???

 

PFN list corrupt, suggests bad page file, could be overclock-related.

 

same OC as before. just with the mem running at 1057 now.

 

Memory controller not stable enough to handle 1057mhz memory perhaps?

 

well i back down CPU oc to 3.6 and put the mem strapping to 400 and 2.66multi. mem is now running 1066 and no problems???? before with the problems it would shut down and give me that error when stres testing.

 

Unstable overclock then. Changing which speed memory you use can affect how far you can overclock even if the memory isn't being pushed, due to different levels of stress on the NB, I found that out. Even though my RAM is underclocked, if I set it at the correct CAS4, my PC doesn't even POST.

 

mmm i was also limited to my OCing before, getting random memory BSODs, then i replaced the TIM on the VRMs and NB and SB with OCZ freeze, and i found i could get another 600MHz out of my E2140

you might want to replace the TIM?

 

Probably wise, my chipset gets pretty hot these days and that could well be a factor.

 

yeah sam, you aswell, mayeb you can pusht he 3.24 a bti more on the same volts?
