X_C Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Really? That makes me feel a bit better, I do like the layout of the board tho. One cool, did you find much of a change in the new Asus Bios? (1006) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X_C Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 (edited) http://www.pcpitstop.com/techexpress.asp?id=WGAJ9WTC77RSQ147 So far so good, now to overclock a bit Even better on 3DM 2001 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8247270 By the way guys, when you reach a bad O/C, what do you press to reset soft bios on this board? Thanks! X_C Edited November 16, 2004 by X_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamzmar Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 There is a jumper next to the battery move it over 1 pin then back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X_C Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 Thanks but I now about clearing the CMOS but I was hoping that this board had an easier way than that like the Asus boards. With an Asus, you just turn off the PC, then reboot and it will detect the bad over clock and allow you to make changes. On an MSI board, you can press a couple buttons at post to enter BIOS with a bad over clock....ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DFI pretty much does the same thing as the Asus when over do it...something I tend to do alot these days for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Mine just reboots... But I haven't tried to kill it yet. (OC) til I get some better cooling, the temps stull bother me at 42 at Idle and 60 at full tilt boogie. Im afraid Im gonna burn it up... temps got to 70 once (while OC'ing) and I was freaking out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vcore in the bios is at 1.450 and 110% which is just a tad over 1.56v. It's rock solid finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiaK Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 how do you run your pc that high with such a low vcore? i had to use 1.7 to get 2700mhz stable enough to run SETI Odd thing is, I thought I had to have my vcore that high too... but I was having issues above 2700mhz, so I thought I'd start over. I started with the stock vcore and it worked with minor problems at extreme load, so I thought I'd try just a bit more and voila! I can run benches and everything up to about 2780, but then it isn't as stable as I'd like - even with higher vcore and vdimm. I experimented and 249 x 11 is the highest completely stable clock that I'm able to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamMAXIS Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 My max stable benchmarking speed is 2700 MHz.. but I'm still running the stock heatsink and have bad voltage options. It's either too little voltage or too high. Nothing in the nice range. I need some new ram too.. In order to overclock anywhere near 2700 MHz, I have to lower my RAM speed by making the memory divider higher. Not to mention my computer doesn't boot when I try some high FSB options from BIOS. Whenever I set my BIOS to higher than 209 MHz then it won't boot. I don't understand it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamMAXIS Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 For some odd reason I can not go past 209 MHz FSB in the BIOS.. Does anyone know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiaK Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Ya know... maybe I should start trying clockgen. I might be able to go over 2.9 that way. As for 249, my HTT is 1992mhz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I boot up and continue hitting the "insert" button like I used to have to do on my Abit and it works for me one time only, but if I'm stupid and save settings wrong again, I have to reset cmos. If I do set them right, then reboot, I can be stupid again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X_C Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 Ok, I just got my 2 sticks of Balistix 512MB Memory (6-2-2-2) Is this the timings I should try or what are you guys setting them up as for best results? Thanks! X_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniecoleman Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 For stock I use 10-2-2-2 1t OC 10-3-3-2.5 1t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! X_C Id try everything on "auto" for stock and see how the board detects it (should be 2-2-6-2).For an OC setup its really going to depend on your setup...not all boards are created equal.
