@ Tim...

I have got something for you, that you might or might not find helpful (may post this in the AMD mobo forum too)...

Its a chart of the DFI voltages with their corresponding Special VID. It make quick reference for OC setting a breeze (especially when you know your vdroop...you can make easy voltage steps)

the full table is attached...

hope it helps

timxirish · 03-05-08

I have a feeling it will. I've looked at the Special VID before and although I'm good with math, I'd much rather have a table than figure out results with percentages. Slightly before booting into XP, I did mess with the volts a bit, but ended up with a blue screen (no signal from monitor)... Had to take off my side panel and toggle that red jumper by the battery.. One of these days I'm going to get a female header to put on those pins and wire it to a SPDT switch. The lazy man's way to clear the CMOS

..

But anyhow, it'll be a handy resource, so thank you.

Tim, I'm glad you fixed your issue. Funny how the simplest things are always the hardest to find.

Poser, nice post! Love the chart. I gotta look into this.

Pioneer, how is the MSI board?

thlnk3r, to be honest I don't know why I didn't check it before. About a year or so ago, I was pretty heavily into Xbox repair (original Xbox), and out of the 21 error codes an Xbox can give on a FRAG (flashing red and green) , about 1/4th of them can be caused by IDE cable issues. Just a tad ironic.

I can identify with you, Tim.

Cable issues are often the easiest to overlook. At least three times I've had disk-read (HDD) errors in WinXP's Event Viewer caused by a cable fault. Once the cable was swapped out for a new one, bye-bye errors.

Good to know you've got your issues sorted, Tim.

So far its doing great. We'll find out once she gets an Opty for it though how well it REALLY does.

Well, I'm back again with better results, although I'm unsure how stable they are... I'll run a few tests and find out.. But this is what I'm looking at:

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=324925

That's huge progress from what I had earlier. And Poser, although you didn't intentionally explain it, thanks to your last post about setting the HT to 4x, I discovered where that's reflected in the CPU-Z image. When I went to compare what others had done with their Opty 165's, I actually changed back to 3x.. But now a part of me wants to change it to 2x.

Reason why I'm considering doing 2x is because I noticed a good few of the 165 overclocks around 3GHz are using either an nf4 eXpert or the same board as myself with theirs at 2x. I definitely was not stable with my FSB at 311 and 3x HT mult... Maybe it's just a coincidence that they had good results with the 2x HT mult using lanparty nf4 variants with their opty 165's, but I'm convinced there's potential gain there. In the mean time, i'm going to be running tests to check the stability of my current OC.

Edit: Shot down by Super Pi. Did tests in order til 256K. Failed at 256K after loop 6

Just to give you an idea my board/CPU was stable upto approx 400FSB and the HTT running at 1100MHz

Tim, how much vcore are you running at that overclock? Can you include your CPU-Z tabs for the memory?

Let us know

Good luck

pretty good. what stepping is your opty? j/w. mines a ccbbe 0617fpmw. got OC OCCT stable at 2943MHz. i havent had time to do other tests yet but the oc seems pretty stable so far for what i use it for. i think my HTT is at 3x. FSB @ 327MHz. what voltages you running your cpu vcore and ddr vcore? just wanna know for a comparing =P lol oh what time did you get on superpi 1m?
