CPU - 1.65
Ram - 2.6

Tin · 07-06-2004, 06:36 PM

give it more juice

. 2.9 on the memory and 1.75 on the CPU.

EDIT: forgot to ask, what kind of cooling do you have?

I will with the cpu, but why does the memory need more? I'm underclocking it right now - right?

What should I try the FSB at with the 1.75 voltage?

EDIT: My current cooling is a thermaltake silent boost heatsink and a couple case fans.

Hmmm, think I've heard that somewhere before.

the silent boost should be good for running 1.75V, although it may not perform as well at a higher voltage. one thing you can do to make it perform better is get rid of the stock fan and get a smartfan 2 for it.

And some ear plugs!

why am i not seeing your OC project in your siggy there PR? cmon man, its summer...the hot rod isnt supposed to be in the garage this time of year

Just for you, coach!

Like I asked before...

Tin · 07-06-2004, 10:02 PM

take it up 3-5MHz at a time testing for stability along the way.

waazzuup · 07-06-2004, 10:06 PM

Ok, thanks. I'll probably play with it tomorrow.

waazzuup · 07-08-2004, 11:01 PM

I set the voltage high like you said. I tried to raise the FSB. I got it up to 210, but there was an error in prime95 right away. I'm back down to 200*11 right now.

Do you think it is my processor or my motherboard that is holding me back?
I want a mobile 2600+, but if I can't do better than I am right now, then there would be no point to switch.

Also, the ram/fsb setting in the bios should be on auto - right?
Would it benefit me to lower the multiplier and raise the fsb?
Thanks for the help

Tin · 07-08-2004, 11:04 PM

how many volts are you running now? whats the stepping of your CPU? most of the later bartons arent very good OCers, mobiles being the exception. ive seen some of them need as much as 1.9V to run at 200 x 11. i wouldnt go that high with your cooling though. have you tried raising the chipset voltage? also, what are your memory timings? BTW, do you still have your hyper x?

Right now I am doing 200x11.

The ram is at 2.9 and the cpu is at 1.75.
I had no problems with 200x11 with the ram at 2.6 and the cpu at 1.65. I just changed it because you said to.

Is there any way for me to check the stepping without taking it out of my computer? I ordered it on 9/24/2003 from newegg and it is unlocked.

I haven't tried raising the chipset voltage.

My memory timings are at 6-3-3-2.5

And yes, I still have the hyperx

Tin · 07-09-2004, 12:35 AM

try 2.5-3-3-11 and lower your VDIMM. try giving it 2.7V this time. it will take alot of patience here, keep messing with those VDIMM voltages. that memory may not like 2.9V, so try something lower. BTW, your hyper X may be winbond BH5 chips. read the revision on the label. if it has an A in it, its NOT BH5. if it is BH5, you have some gold in your presence man!

I'm going out of town over the weekend, so I won't be able to mess with it for a little while.

Looks like no BH5

One says...

KHX2700/512
9905193-018.A00
1192852 - 2.5v

The other one says...

KHX2700/512
9905193-022.A00
1241691 - 2.5v

Tin · 07-09-2004, 07:31 AM

it might be BH5 still. it says KHX2700/512

. non-BH5 says KHX2700A2/512.

So how do I find out?

Tin · 07-09-2004, 02:21 PM

slap it in, try your FSB at your max...which i think you got 210 so far. put the FSB to 210MHz and raise the memory voltage to 2.9V. set timings to 2-2-2-11. if it doesnt boot, chances are its not BH5.

I just got back home. I'll try that tomorrow.

Tin · 07-12-2004, 05:56 PM

any luck with the hyper x? BTW, it was my bad assuming that it has BH5 chips, i believe your KHX PC2700 has BH-6 chips. no big deal though, BH-6 is almost as good. proceed to test how i showed you above. BH-6 wont get as high of a FSB as BH-5, but it will still make it to 235-240 @ 2-2-2-11 depending on how much voltage you give it.

I didn't have time to today and I am about to go pick up NCAA Football 2005 for XBOX it a little bit. I'll probably play with the ram tomorrow. Right now I don't have anything major planned for tomorrow.

Also, I think that the 2 sticks have different chips in them because I ordered them at seperate times. I will test them seperately.

Tin · 07-12-2004, 06:22 PM

might as well try them one at a time first, then toss em both in later

. BTW, whereabouts in MI are you from?

Near lansing (okemos to be exact).

What about you?

Tin · 07-12-2004, 06:31 PM

Sterling Heights, about 8 miles north of Detroit. Detroit is at 8 Mile Rd, and im at 16 Mile Rd

waazzuup · 07-12-2004, 06:42 PM

I need you to mess with my computer some time and maximize its potential

waazzuup · 07-13-2004, 03:51 PM

I tried the hyperx.

I bumped the voltage to 2.9 and set the fsb to 210.

With the first stick in, it loaded up windows fine and then like 20 seconds later the screen went black and the computer restarted by itself.

With the second stick in, it loaded up windows, but whenever I opened a program, a message would come up saying that said an error occured and it asked if I wanted to send the info to microsoft.

waazzuup · 07-15-2004, 01:07 PM

Tin Canary - You got me thinking about cooling. I like the heatsink that I currently have, because it is all one piece. What size fans fit on the Silent Boosts? Is there a certain fan that you would reccomend? I don't want anything too loud.

Also, I was thinking about getting new case fans. Currently I just have one in the front and one in the back. I was thinking about getting some Panaflo L1A fans. I was thinking I would put 2 in the back and 1 in the front. My case only has 1 spot in the front, but I could fit another one under my cd rom. So maybe 2 in the front. Is this enough air flow? These fans a supposed to be good and quiet, but they aren't the most powerful. Thanks for the advice.

Panaflo L1A
Air Flow 24 CFM
Fan Speed 1900 RPM
Power 1.2 W
Bearing Type Hydro Wave Bearing
Fan Size 80x80x25 MM
Noise Level 21 db

Tin · 07-15-2004, 06:04 PM

instead of the L1A, try the H1B, it moves around 36cfm or so. it would also be a good fan for your heatsink, since the silent boost takes an 80mm fan.
