amd woes

LwrS10 · 12-March-05, 08:22 PM

ok. i have an amd athlon64 3500, 939, on a msi neo 2 platnium edition. i have a gig of ram, 3200 kingston, and i cant overclock this thing at all. it locks up if i move my fsb to just 202. ive tried doing 1t memory timings, upping the voltage on the cpu, and wham---locks up when i touch the fsb. its not a heat issue, i have the fx-55 heatsink, and it runs quite cool. maybe need better ram?

Really off topic here, but where did you get the FX-55 cooler? Can you buy them alone? Or just happend to get one trading and whatnot.

MaTtsPc · 12-March-05, 09:54 PM

Sounds to me like a voltage problem man.. Have you tried to bump the Vcore or anything ?

ebay is awesome--bought the cooler for 17 bucks

What is your HTT setting at?

Try x4 instead of x5...

LwrS10 · 12-March-05, 10:17 PM

did that---but then it still locks up at 202 fsb

turbopsi · 12-March-05, 10:20 PM

My friend "theups" has that same motherboard, with a 3200+ winchester. He had the same problem as well.

He turned down the HTT and it worked fine. 230fsb easy.. with the stock 3200+ cooler.

Maybe he could give you some tips.

What I missed in your system specs was what type of powersupply do you have. Seems to me like a PSU issue with either a ****ty voltage or not enough amps on the 12V rail. Please post what the PSU you have is.

antec true power 430--definetly not a bad one

BigAkita · 12-March-05, 10:38 PM

List all of your memory timings and what color your case is.

LwrS10 · 12-March-05, 11:01 PM

umm i have that set to auto---but i think its 3-3-8-3----and pink---lol

turbopsi · 12-March-05, 11:37 PM

Did you try using some memory dividers?

That will help determine if it is a RAM issue..

BigAkita · 13-March-05, 12:56 AM

Those timings are very loose, so I think it may be a RAM issue. Also, computers don't work well when encased in Pink.

Try pulling one stick of mem out at a time. Could be one of them is crappy.

$SOLID$ Necro · 13-March-05, 08:09 AM

Change the LDT ratio from 5 to 4.

You want to keep the HTT speed under 1000.

Stock is 200FSB x5 LDT=1000, so when you raise the FSB, it may cause instabilty.

4x should be fine for up to 250FSB (4x250=100), and 3 will cover you up to 300FSB (3x300=900) if you get new RAM.
