I've never researched 939's but now that you mention it. :doh That was one of the perks of the AMd's over the Intels. The MC architecture. IIRC now the I7's are useing the same methods.

My mind is not always in the On position.

If you go back in this thread awhile you'll see a post where I mentioned the 939 is the first type I've owned that I haven't researched! funny thing is it's now my favorite socket! Previous was the Socket 8.

I have RAM slots 1&2 occupied. Should I move #2 to the #3 spot? Any suggestions?

BlackOmega, what processor is this that your trying to overclock? At 230HTT you shouldn't have to adjust the chipset voltage but if you do look for "Chipset Voltage Control". It should be in the same menu that Joe talked about in the above post. If you leave it at it's default state I believe it's set to 1.50V.

Good luck

Hi everyone, I am new to OCN and ya'll have inspired me to start getting the most out of my 4200+ Toledo. I started my new oc adventure today and have reached 2.64ghz so far http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=466037 . I am not sure if my settings are correct but it seems to be working ok so far. Can I join the Socket 939 Appreciation Club

lulz.
And yes, i7 is using an IMC, and Intel has a bug or two to work out of it before it's worth using really.

Welcome to the club Sturmangriff

I've added you to the roster.

If you have any questions feel free to ask away!

BlackOmega, first of all make sure your RAM is in the same colored spots (I forgot how the DIMM slots are numbered). In other words, make sure your RAM DIMMs are both in either the orange (usually is better) or the yellow DIMM slots.

Now, to adjust VCore, you need to go to CPU VID Control and manually select the setting you need (you mentioned 1.39V). Here is how DFI has the VCore adjustments set up: CPU VID Startup Value specifies the VCore value at startup, and nothing more. This adjustment is useful in that it avoids the warm reboot bug that some motherboards (Asus' A8N32-SLI Deluxe has this flaw, for one) have. Any setting around 1.25V or higher is fine, for the most part (I always just keep this at 1.3V myself). CPU VID Control is your primary VCore setting. Assuming you have the third setting (CPU VID Special Control on "Disabled" or "None" or "Auto" -- I forget what the BIOS actually has, but if I remember correctly, "Auto" is a 0% value -- your VCore will be whatever you set on CPU VID Control. Enabling the third VCore-related setting, CPU VID Special Control, adds a specified percentage of voltage to what your CPU VID Control value is. The second and third VCore-related options in concert allow you to really fine-tune the CPU voltage input.

Hope this helps!

Yes, yes it does.

Im actually trying to use my opty 165. It was stable till about 2350 mhz on my asus board with 4 DIMM slot occupied. I was hoping with the DFI board I could get more out of it. Ill check to see what the chipset is set at.

Thanxks guys youve both been a great help as always.

But now Im going to go get some sleep, its been a long day. But on a good note Ima certified nurse assistant

Welcome Sturmangriff!

Ok guys, I finished up another run of S&M at 3024Mhz and here is a s/s of it. I will continue to work on the RAM, but for now I am seeking stability before speed.

TestECull · 12-19-08

lol. Nice.

I ran S&M, my cache passed with ease, but Integer elicited a "Clock blablabla not recieved by secondary proc" bluescreen. I'm just too damn lazy to play with it, as that's the only program that does that.

**thlnk3r** · 12-19-08

Guardian, looking good man

S&M is quite an accomplishment. My system actually has troubles with S&M. I can be OCCT and Orthso stable for 24hrs but S&M hardly lasts an hour on my rig. This was with my tighter memory timings though so perhaps I may have better luck a second time around.

blitz6804 · 12-19-08

S&M runs about 100 minutes of CPU tests. Then it runs 4 memory tests which take about 15 minutes per DIMM per test. (So 2 DIMMs would be about an hour.) This is if you have it set to "long" and strong.

Sturmangriff, I am adding you to the off-site roster now. GuardianOdin, do you have a CPU-Z link of that clock too? I can use the S&M for both your speed and S&M link but I would like to have a CPU-Z link for the roster separate if possible.
