I ran memtest and dont have a problem, i get a rounding error when running Prime

gatattack

change ur pci-e freq from auto to 100 oh at 1:1 ratio is normally best.

it was at 100, i just missed writing it up when i wrote up the long list sorry

xwinx

That should be easy.. 9 x 445, 1.3625V, bam


You should be capable of a lot more

Hylando

but i fail running Prime during like the first 10 seconds with a rounding problem with the current settings listed above

gatattack

a lot of auto settings.

What does CPU-Z report your memory running at (check ou the Memory Tab)?

*BTW CPU says its DDR3 when its really DDR2*

DRAM Frequency 422.0Mhz
FSBRAM 1:1
CAS# Latency (CL) 5.0 clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD) 5 clocks
RAS# Percharge (tRP) 5 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS) 15 clocks
Command Rate (CR) 2T

bump.....

anyone have inputs?

ericeod

Ram seems fine.

Try the following voltages:

CPU PLL Voltage [1.5v]
FSB Termination Voltage [1.26v]
DRAM Voltage [2.1v]
NB Voltage [1.26v - 1.3v]
