AMD 64-bit single-core processor club

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

That's the one that always confused me. But I have always thought that it should be a much lower number than what is usually shown when ya go into manual settings mode.


If someone knows about this setting please post.


Read through all this:

Very good read.

But here is the page from that link with the info on why I set as I did. I think I have it correct exsept that it's listed there as "clock cycles" and in the Memory settings it's listed as "clocks". That's why I am still unsure.

And for all you, there is a new version of CPU-Z


Version 1.29 (6/03/05)

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

This is my current settings, I might try and squeeze a bit more out of the processor

Too late to join the club?
<edit>Tried to upload and got this error:

Obviously no overclocking here. =)

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

Well id like to join the club... my 3500 venice core will be here shortly and i plan on overclocking it to around what gonnads has his at. (hopefully.)

I thought of the Zalman CNPS7700-Cu Cooler. Yeah the huge beast. But way too heavy, and I don't care what they say about it not hurting the MoBo or anything else due to the weight of it. I don't trust it. Not the cooling mind you, just the way that thing would hang off the side of the CPU.

I guess i have been edgy about this as well. We will see. Originaly i wanted to get the sonic tower (passive cooling but you can add a 120 mm fan) but that weighs more than the zalman and sticks out more. I worry about the stress on the board and gravity doing its thing lol. Im just worried about installing the zalman lol so heavy on lil slip could mess up the cpu. But i think the cooling and low 34-38 decimal will make up for it.


EDIT: i guess the quoting has changed why does it switch colors lol.

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

quoted test

code text

Works for me, i think you just hit the php button instead of the quote as it's right next to each other.

lol i think your right. hehe

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

MFarley you need to look at your ram settings that should be at 200mhz along with the FSB it might be you dont have a matched pair or just a setting you over looked in the bios.

You should be able to get more out of it than that, I have my 3200 venice running at 2600 you should be able to get the 3500 to run at 3000 on air

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

It all depends on many variables. Ya better have good cooling.

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

i bought the zalman 7700 so it wilbe ok. But im not gona try to do crazy overclocking. Just some. hehe no sense in frying a new chip that at stock is fast as hell hehe.

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

Well I went and got a bit goofy today.

Am now pushin my 3500+ clawhammer to 2.75GHz

Now the only thing I need to find out is what is the max safe voltage I can put to this core. As you can see by my attached images it be a bit over the base voltage. I have looked around but I haven't found any values. If anyone finds any, could/would you please post them. Thanks.

Temps have also gone up, but they are still tolerable. So far system is staying stable. Will see when I play some Halo tomorrow.

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

The venice does run a fair bit cooler though, running my 3200 venice at 2600 my temp idles at about 32C, I think the highest ive noticed it was 41C that is just with the standard heatsink etc.

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

And to think my little proc runs at 800MHz most of the time.

I didn't see any strange settings in the bios, what exactly would I be looking for?

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

Its just that ram should be matched with FSB meaning RAM at 200mhz or 400ddr

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

mfarley, the BIOS settings for your RAM are off (incorrect). The frequency of your RAM is 158 MHz. It should be as close to 200 MHz as possible. Unless you have special RAM that was designed to be OCed then it could go over 200. It looks like the "Memory Clock Mode" is not set correctly. If you are not OCing anything then your Memory should run at the same speed as the HTT (front side bus). In your posted image the HTT is at 201.0 MHz, so your Memory's Memory Clock Mode if it's set to "manual" it should be 1:1. If it's set to "auto", most auto settings are very concervative (lame ). Once you start to OC things the you have to change that setting to one of the other presets like 3:2 - 5:4... etc. This is of couse if your Memory settings are set to "manual" mode and not on "auto". You have to experiment or do the math so you get the frequency closest to 200 MHz, or a couple of MHz over without causing the system to not boot, freeze or not post at all.

Post a CPU-Z pic of the "SPD" tab info. This will tell us what the true timing of your RAM is (what the manufacturer's set timing is for this RAM).

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

Can you also post a picture of the Memory tab information please mfarley?

 

[gonaads]

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

mfarley, Now I see why your Memory frequency is the way it is. It looks like you have two (2) different speeds of Memory.

Bsically when there is two (2) different speeds of RAM the system will run it at the slower RAM's speed.

O.K. could you post more pics of that SPD tab info? But as you can see there is a "Memory Slot Selection" box, so could you post a pic for each slot? From your previous post with the "Memory" tab info it looks like there is only 2 slots since you show 1024 MBytes of RAM.
