KT6 And 2600 Overclocking

Just wanting advice on my overclock.
Is it safe as it is, can i push further?

1600 and 2600 series aps no heatmap on cisco prime 1.4.0.45

after plotting 1600 series and 2600 series aps on the respective uploaded maps, there's NO heatmap coming out.
setup composed of:
1600 series aps
2600 series aps
wlc running HA (7.4.121.0)
cisco prime 1.4.0.45
i noticed some errors from prime:
error 1: Exception while computing Coverage Heatmap. Message: COMMON-1 Try Recompute RF Prediction - this error message shows after positioning the aps on the map and clicking save button. it took sometime to display then this error message shows.
error 2: Error in Recompute RF Prediction: SyntaxError:syntax error - this error shows after running recompute rf prediction option
i tried 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n protocols but still no heatmap. i tried unselecting ap heatmaps option and select it again but still no heatmap.
anybody have an idea what is going on? tia

Hi,
Try removing both APs from the map and saving. Next, go back into the map an assign the APs. If they still do not map then I would look at the traps on the controller and make sure that the AP is fine. I would also look at performing an on demand refresh from the controller to the WCS. You can do this from the management page in WCS.

How to know whether or not it's LTE on 2100 and 2600 MHz. Unlocked Z30 purchase.

I'm eager to know if the Z30 is good with the 2100 and 2600MHz bands.
LTE-good.
I read Crackberry.com discussion threads.
It seems that some phones (versions) don't do LTE on some bands.
E.g. Z30 version STA100-5 -- band 17 -- isn't LTE.
This can be important when you move from one carrier to another,
or when you buy a phone independently of a carrier.
I found vendors of unlocked Z30 (hope this is OK to post here).
First: please point me to the terms to search on, or let me know
which things to look for, when purchasing a Z30 independently of a "carrier".
Here's why. My carrier is Fido:
Your device must be compatible with the Fido network, which uses GSM, UMTS, HSPA and HSPA+ at 850 MHz and 1900 MHz and LTE at 2100 MHz and 2600 MHz.
If you are unsure of how to check the frequencies your device supports, try the manufacturer's official website and search for the specifications for your particular phone/smartphone model;
I can get a locked Z30 from Telus and then unlock it.
I can get unlocked Z30 phones from individuals who have some supply
but I want to know what smart questions to ask them instead of just buying
it simply. When buying from an individual, there may be no possibility of return.
I'll share more, when I get answers to my question about the 2100 and 2600 MHz frequencies

1. How can I make sure this phone that I would like to buy (880$) is indeed Factory unlocked?
Purchase only from an official source that sells officially unlocked phones. Otherwise, you run the real risk of purchasing a "hacked" phone.
2. What is the disadvantage of getting one unofficially unlocked,
Lets see here...every time you update software or restore the phone, it will re-lock to the carrier it was originally locked to...some things(hard to predict which ones) may not work properly from time-to-time...etc., etc.

Truetone for nokia 1600 and 2600

can i put a truetone to my nokia 1600 and 2600??how?

The 1600 has not PC, Bluetooth or Infrared connectivity as far as I'm aware, so you cannot transfer files to/from other phones.
If the ringtone on the old phone was supplied with the phone, it may not be transferrable or downloadable anyway, because the standard tones are normally copy-protected and supplied exclusively with the phone.

KT6 LSR Audio and 2600+

How do you enable the digital coax output to put out in DD 5.1 from just that output? Also every time I set my FSB settings to 133 or 166 my system fails to post. I have an AMD 2600+ with 512 DDR ram ( 400 mhz)

2600 make stepping 10,8,6. 10 and 8 are fsb@333 and 6 is fsb@266 you must have a surround mixer application in there you can choose digital output only and you speaker type

KT3 Ultra 2 and 2600+ = I give up

Well I have been running a 1900+ in a KT3 Ultra 2 for over a year and finally decided to buy a 2600+ with the $400 tax relief check I got.
To make a long story short, the board did not like it. It would randomly not post, and simply would not boot windows (usually a registry error) with anything over a 150 fsb. At 150 or less though windows worked perfectly. I combed the forums here and google groups and nothing here helped.
So I gave up. Bought a KT6 Delta - LSR (just came in today) and so far it works flawlessly! Great board for only $89.
The KT3 Ultra 2 still runs without a glitch with my old 1900+.

Quote
it is something other than the board
At fsb150 the whole system runs outside its specifications, not only the ram. fsb150 means pci37MHz and agp74Mhz. If you use fsb166 the system will be within it's specifications again = pci/agp 33/66MHz. Especially the chipset of the KT3 itself doesn't like overclocking so much.
The KT6 seems to be much more powerfull in case of overclocking, if you meant this you're absolutly right. But give it a try at fsb166, maybe it works?

KT6 and Samsung Memory...

Hello,
i am french sorry for my english.
I have
KT6 delta FISR
AMD 2600+ Barton (blocked for CPU ratio)
And 512 Mo Samsung pc3200
But if put my FSB over 170, my pc is blocked on testing memory bios
In my bios in DRAM timing Control, what modofications to do ?
Sdram frequency
SRAM cas latency
Row precharge time
RAS Pulse width
RAS to cas delay
For haven't no bug ?
Thank you

It's better to run the CPU and memory ratio at the same speed for AMD Athon XP's...
If your CPU multiplier is locked then you should up your CPU FSB and up your CPU voltage to supply enough power to the CPU. Keep the memory FSB insync with the CPU FSB...
You'll need to make sure you have a good heatsink when doing so, you could easily fry your CPU...

Kt6 and Corsair ddr?

On Corsair webcite i read that the TwinX1024LL Pro are to the best for amd's and are recomanded for MSI KT6-Delta series. but i hear that Consair is not worth the money?
should i get them or not?
Thanks

The following is a post of mine on a different forum:
"RAM is one of the biggest wormcans there is! EVERYBODY has a different opinion, and much of it IS opinion; then, again much of it isn't. That said, let me further preface MY contribution here with a couple of qualifiers regarding myself.
First, I don't overclock. My primary requirement for every one of my systems is reliable, error-free operation, as much as possible (i.e. minimum glitching). I have a very good friend who is the best DOS whiz I've ever seen; he was a Beta tester for WIN 95 (how's that for masochism?!). His WIN 98 system crashes every 15 minutes (kinda like the town mechanic who walks a lot). That isn't my idea of fun.
I pay great attention to detail when building a system. Of course, that fits my background. When I worked in computers and aerospace electronics in the 60's & 70's, we had to hand pick every component to match frequency response, V-drop, S/N, waveforms under different conditions, etc.; you name it we matched it. The components in every system were as particularly matched as could be. It was worse than the way the hi-fi and CCTV freaks used to be.
That said, RAM is the key piece in how the board, CPU, and chipset interact. Ram is where the hiccups caused by any frequency mismatches should get ironed out. Therefore Ram should be the LAST place where you introduce instability to a system. You can get good RAM cheap, and you can pay a lot for lousy RAM. You have to use your head when you choose RAM.
Everybody swears by some brand of RAM and at another. My RAM of choice is Corsair, for what to me are very good reasons. First, Corsair uses only Samsung memory modules in their RAM. For all intents and purposes, Samsung invented the memmod and are responsible for essentially every advance made in that field since that invention; they also have outstanding QC on the memmod process. So, that seems like a wise choice by Corsair.
Corsair screens their memmods to tighter tolerances than other companies, and these modules have already been stringently QC'ed at Samsung. Then, Corsair matches the screened modules by frequency to ensure minimum frequency variations across any stick. Since FSB frequencies are allowed, by spec, to vary +/- 5,6,7,8, or more cycles (a 10-16 cycle spread, at least, depending upon many factors), having low variation in RAM frequencies tends to re-stablize a system.
If you shop wisely, you can by Corsair RAM cheaper than (or equal to) most other brands. For my purposes better latency makes sense, but it does run hotter (I guess that all them thar leettle moleequles is a leettle more uptite!). Obviously, if you overclock, heat is the big enemy (you're already prepared to accept some instability in return for the extra speed). So what sort of high end features you latch onto depends upon what you do with your machine.
There is one high end feature that seems to be losing its applicability, ECC. First of all, the speed of the machines are beginning to outstrip the speed of ECC to react. It is reaching the point that ECC can only reliablly correct glitches resulting from AC power spikes. Then, just to sweeten things a little more, some chipsets no longer support ECC; the Via KT400 used in the AT7-Max2 and KD7-RAID being a particular example.
Neither Abit nor Via come right out and fess up to not supporting ECC , but I did finally get that info from Corsair, after my first choice RAM wouldn't run the AT7-Max2 that I bought for my wife's new machine. Frankly, I can foresee ECC all but disappearing from the RAM options lists.
So are high end RAM features worth extra cost? Sometimes. Maybe. It's your choice. Is name brand or famous name RAM worth shopping around or waiting for mail order? Almost certainly, if you are really getting something extra or special for the effort. Do you have to pay a premium for high end features or for a "name"? Not necessarily, but you do need to shop wisely."
One comment was:
"Corsair has been using Winbond chips also. I've seen pictures where people have removed their heatspreaders on their new PC3200 Pro series RAM to reveal Winbond CH-5 chips. Also, I came across, about a month or so ago, a response from Corsair in reponse to a question about what type of chips they use on their RAM. Corsair responded that they were using and have used Winbond BH-5 and CH-5. If I could remember where I found it, I'd link you. I'm not doubting that Corsair has used, and may still use, Samsung modules as I know it is a fact, but they have also used other brands.
As far as memory brand is concerned, Corsair is awesome. Also, there is a lot of praise for Buffalo's RAM which uses the Winbond CH-5 chips. The Buffalo is also at a better price and is extremely overclockable if that's your thing. Many are reporting that they can get theirs up to, and sometimes even past, 230 (DDR460)."
To which I noted:
"At least they still have their screening and matching regimens, apparently (since the performance is still there)."
You should certainly make up your own mind re what RAM to buy. Personally, I think that I'll continue to hang with Corsair.

KT6 delta Fisr overclocking settings?help!!

hi, my rig is a Athlon xp 2600+, msi kt6 delta fisr, 512 ddr 400 mhz kingston value ram and aopen fx 5600 xt 256 mb... my question is how can i reach 200 mhz fsb? how can i fully take advantage of my 400 hz memory? what settings do you recommend?how much raise the vcore and fsb together?,btw i can't touch the multiplier because it's locked. resuming, i want to reach 200 mhz fsb and be stable at the same time. thanx for everythng....bye!!please help!!!
:i'm getting a volcano 12 XT tomorrow...

don't really need more power, the only thing I want, is USB2.0, Firewire400, optical audio output, onboard Raid and some more oc features
Well, you'll like the KT6 Delta FIS2R for sure.
Of all the mobo's ive studied, none have as many USB2 inputs on the back of the board where all the other ports are. This has 6 ready for direct use without any pci slot blocking dongles. (8 with the USB2/Diagnostic lights dongle installed).
It sure has optical output, but the sound quality from it isnt as good as an Audigy.
The promise controller is very good, letting you use 2 PATA and 2 SATA at the same time.
Firewire use a pci slot blocking dongle but has 3 sockets (2 big and 1 small)
As for OC, ive tried above 200mhz FSB (208 Mhz) but it was a little unstable, not sure why, never really tested it out.

K7n2 delta2-fsr and 2600+ Barton problem!

Hi!I just bought my new msi mobo and i have alraedy problems!The problem is that the mobo dosn't recognize the defult bus of the proc which is 166, but it set's it as 100, and now my proc is running at 1150 instead of 2600!
If i change the bus i can't even log in at windows!
i have the B5 bios.I tried to flash it but i get the message that the "Flash rom is write protected"!
My tempreture is below 40!
Any advice?

Recent Conversation with MSI and Neo4 overclocking "thing"

I had a recent email transaction with MSI if anyone is interested. I tried my best to represent the group, and I know we all experience the problem a little bit different which is why it has been hard to explain and fix. I tried to give them the best info to duplicate the issue in the lab. It seems clear at this point that MSI still isn't duplicating the issue. They are using 166 Mem Clock Index, and the HT freq of 3x and still not understanding the issue, hopefully I have gave them a guide to duplicate what we have been trying to say. Yes I have explained this to MSI before but I really feel I am getting somewhere with my last 2 emails. Once we get them to duplicate the results then I think we will all have our solution shortly. Before anyone says anything negative, at least they aren't saying, oh that's an overclocking problem we don't deal with that. Also remember how long it has taken to get many people to see the issue, this isn't easy to understand so just stay cool, don't say negative sh-t if you reply and we'll see how this pans out. It was actully kind of hard since I am sitting in a hotel room 500 miles away from the motherboard but I was able to use modbin6 to view the BIOS and since I have done this about 7 zillion times I remember the settings LMAO. They have their Venice to 2750, not bad...
Hello MSI Engineer,
The information you requested. The data you sent shows a Venice running at 166 Memclock index value at HT at 3x, the goal is to run at 200 Memclock Index and HT at 4x. In order to duplicate this issue in the lab here is my recommendation. It MUST be tried with a CBBID Winchester RevD CPU and a Venice Rev E CPU and the Gskill memory you have in dual channel. The issue happens everytime with a CBBID Winchester and less often with Venice.
Starting with the Venice 3500+, Set the following in BIOS
[Memclock Index] 200
[CAS# latency (Tcl)] 3
[Min RAS active] 11
[RAS to CAS delay] 6
[Row Precharge] 6
[User config mode] manual
[bottom of 32 bit] (default)
[1T/2T] 1T
[Read Preamble] 6ns (default)
[Async Latency] 6ns (default)
[S/W mem hole] Disable (default)
[H/W mem hole] Disable (default)
[MTRR mapping] Continuous (default)
[High Performance] manual
[Agreessive timing] Disable
[Dynamic Overclocking] Disable
[Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] 200
[HT Frequncy] 4
[HT Width] 16 up 16 down
[CPU Spread] Disable
[SATA Spread] Disable
[PCI Spread] Disable
[PCIe Clock] 101
[SSE/SSE2] Enable
[CnQ] Disable
[CPU Ratio] 11x
[Adjust CPU VID] 1.45
[Extra CPU Voltage] your choice for stability
[Mem Volt] your choice for stability
[NF4 Volt] your choice for stability
Now boot into Windows. Using Clockgen, increase HTT to 250. This should be stable based on your screen shot and your RAM modules. Now having a CPU 2750Mhz, RAM at 250Mhz, and a HT of 4x250(1000). Test for stablity with Prime95 or other Stress Testing tool. Now we can say motherboard is stable at 2750Mhz CPU, 250Mhz RAM, and HT 4x250(1000). Now return to the BIOS at set the following
[Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] 250
This reults in a no POST condition for me and others. Now install the CBBID, except you will have to set a lower CPU max speed based on CBBID overclocking potential. In the BIOS, Return [Adjust CPU FSB frequency] to 200, Perhaps [CPU ratio] of 10x or 9x but a [Memory Clock Index] 200Mhz. Boot to Windows and use Clockgen to raise HTT to 250 again. Once you find a [CPU Ratio] that will have a STABLE overclock with a 250HTT. Return to the BIOS and set [Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] to 250. Try and POST. Try this experiment with the 3.1, 3.3, and 3.4 BIOS's. For the CBBID and the 3.1 BIOS you should be able to change the [HT Freq] to 3x, 2x or 1x and get a POST with [FSB Freq] 250, [Memclock Index] 200, and a known stable [CPU Ratio] you found in Windows. The 3.3, and 3.4 BIOS have made this work around not possible. Why does [HT Freq] 4x work in windows but not at POST time?
As a side note. The 1.3 BIOS for the 7125 works with the Venice, and the 1.4 and 1.5 do NOT. So somewhere between the 1.3 and 1.4 MSI created the issue on the Venice. Perhaps that is where you can find the answer and solution to the problem.
Here are some articles that describe the issue on a ECS and Chaintech board that were remidied by a BIOS update. So the problem is not uncommon and should be able to be fixed.
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/chaintech-nforce4_6.html
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/ecs-kn1-extreme_9.html
Here is some other users data of NF4 SLI and Ultra MSI Neo4's if you want to see some other BIOS settings.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=81364.0
Here is a screen shot of my Neo4 Plat SLI (MS-7100) 3.1 BIOS and CBBID Winchester(The Venice will NOT POST at all above [Adj CPU Freq] ~219-229 under any situation but is stable in Windows at HTT 250 with Clockgen). The system is stable and POST's when [HT Freq] is 3x, it will NOT at [HT freq] 4x which is stable in windows but won't POST.
http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/cbbidMSI2501.jpg
Here is another screenshot of the Asus A8N Plat SLI with all peripherals the same. Only changed the motherboard. This is POSTing at [HT Freq] 4x. This is just as a reference that the components do indeed POST with [Adjust FSB freq] 250, [Memclock Index] 200, and [HT Freq] 4x. This board will POST both my 3200+ Venice and Winchester CBBID at the settings described above.
http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/cbbid250asus1.jpg
The following are my BIOS settings that will create a non-POST condition, but the board is stable at these settings when ADJUSTED FROM WINDOWS.

Good news and good work guy's
On a side note to chakkasol....
are you using coolbits 1 or 2?
I heard that coolbits2 is the one for our later cards
Good question - coolbits 2. I happened to take a chance from this website and downloaded this file...ran it up against my antivirus and antispyware software and it looked clean. I simply ran the program and viola, coolbits functionality automatically added to the winxp registry. I cleaned out the msi DOT drivers first before I loaded this program. Even though I have tweaked on occasion the winxp registry to speed things up and make winxp shut down quicker, this was too complicated for me to do on my own.
The highest overclock with the MSIs DOT is 11% at 555/1100. My MSI card is actually very stable at 580/1160 for a 16% overclock. I have gotten it to 600/1200 but I usually run the coolbits stability program a few times and it has never failed at 580/1160. I am sure if I had a better cooling system than the stock fan it would probably go to 600/1200 or higher. At a 3DMark05 of 4133 (and much higher if I could get it stable at 600/1200, I would be bumping up against the stock speeds of the 6800s vid cards.
EDIT: Of course, if you download this coolbits 2 program you do so at your own risk...I take no responsibility for the download.
The coolbits download:

btw, I have ordered more stuff from ZZF than newegg...they seem cheaper (but dont always have the stock of newegg) and the stuff gets here 1 day sooner usually (west coast to east coast USA).

Hello!
Don't think you have to flash the BIOS. Nor do I think there is a problem with the mobo.
Two main reasons for boot problems are:
PSU with not enough grunt - please say something about it.
Memory timings are too tight - don't have any special or ultra settings.
The power cable has not been attached to the graphics card - don't know really if it is needed but I think so.
Please note that a weak PSU might not reveal itself til the power cable is connected.
About flashing BIOS, if you use the LiveUpdate program that came on the MSI install CD, it is no more trouble than upgrading any driver. But please make sure you get the right BIOS, and that it solves the issue you got.

Dual Boot windows 32bit and 64bit overclocking problems

Im pretty new to overclocking and this is my first try I manage to get my AMD Venice 3200 to hit 2500 with 250fsb X 10, HTT 4, vcore 1.44. I used memory divider 166/200 so the memory is running at 208MHz not alot of overclocking on the memory since it is some cheap brand.
My problem is that I have dual boot and with windows xp everything is fine CPU-z reports the right speed for the cpu and memory when I overclock, and there is an increse in preformance with overclocking, But when I boot windows XP 64bit CPU-z reports the FSB as 200 so it is not showing any change, it does report the change in the memory divider 166/200 and the cpu voltage increased that I applied to overclock. The thing is that when I open systerm properties it shows the CPU speed as 2500MHz but when I test the preformance there isnt any increase. I used Superpi to test preformance and in windows XP 32bit it finishes the 1M test in 36seconds while in Windows XP 64bit it takes 42seconds.
My system specs are
AMD Venice 3200
MSI K8N Platium bios 1.8
1024MB Wintec Memory 3200
Geforce 6800 GTO 400/1100
OCZ ModStream OCZ52012U 520W Power Supply

Im runing the final release of Windows xp 64 and cpu-z 1.30, I also have Everest Ultimate Edition and it only shows 3% overclock 205 FSB. Im thinking of formating the HD with windows 64 and installing it again with the systerm already overclock.

Intel 975x and E6600 overclocking?

I've attempted overclocking but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.
E6600. 1GB RAM.
I've got my FSB @ 300 and set FSB & RAM at a 1:1 ratio. The RAM is now running at 533mhz as opposed to 667mhz.
My mobo is an Intel 975x and the RAM is DDR2 5300.
The only reason I'm asking is because I'm with stock cooling at 2.71Ghz and the test usually fails around 30 seconds with Orthos. So I'm stuck, Windows seems stable.
Anything you can guys can suggest?
Cheers.

Oh, in that case I think it's:
2x512MB Memory Speed 667 PC5400 timings manually set to 5,5,5,15
EDIT: Are the voltages and speeds I'm using safe? The memory voltage option at '2.0' was yellow so I was just wondering, I'm quite skeptical.
I've been running Orthos for about 20 minutes now and it seems to be running fine, of course it's not conclusive but the results are better than before.
I'm also wondering, If I were to upgrade my RAM what would be the best option for my setup? Like what timings and what speed RAM should I be looking for? Can I fit any speed DDR2 into this board?
EDIT2: Running Orthos, the cores are at 56C-55C respectively, is that an ok temperature?

MSI p7n Platinum and E2160 Overclock

This is my first build and I'm trying to get my CPU overclocked to 3.0ghz.
I've read that the e2160 is capable of 3.0Ghz with stock cooling and voltages. I cannot get mine higher then 2.4 Ghz. I am new so haven't tried anything other then changing the FSB to 1066/1200/1333. 1066 Seems stable, but I could not get a boot with either 1200 or 1333. I tried raising the voltage 1 notch but still no boot at either of the higher speeds. I've read that lowering the multiplier may help, or increasing the voltage more may help, but I dont want to screw anything up so I thought I would come here for some advice before proceeding.
Ive disabled Spread Spectrum, EIST, I cannot find an option to disable C1E (maybe its the old version of EIST??) I'm not sure what other Bios settings need to be enabled or disabled.
The board never read my RAM correctly, I had to change the speeds and timing manually to get it to 1066, I copied someone elses settings to get it to 1125 (5-5-5-15 2t) as they claimed it to be Rock solid stable. Which appears to be correct, although I havent used anything except 4hours of COD4 maxxed out at 1440x900 to test it....(no issues). CPU-Z reads my timings at 533.4Mhz, FSB:DRAM 1:2, 5-5-5-15, tRc:22, 2t@ 2.10v(have no idea if that is fast but I dont think so). The SPD tab reads the memory as PC2-5300, but populates with a part number of OCZ2N10661G. Im not sure if this is a problem, but I thought Id put it out there, just in case.
I'm totally noob about the power supply, which is why I posted all the specs from the label in my sig. I realize it is probably worthless for a Q6600 with 2 8800GT 512 in SLI, but it came with my XION DAZL case and the price was the key to keeping my current system in the budget. I thought it would be good enough to run at least 1 8800 with an e2160 and I could upgrade later (when I finish my system) if need be. I may have not connected the PSU properly as I just matched up the plugs, and stuck the fans in line with the dvd drive, so I wouldnt have to connect anything to the plugs for the graphic card, except the graphics card itself. Do I need to change my connections, and will this power supply work with 8800GT's in SLI with a Q6600?

So to get 3.0Ghz?? 333x9 = 1333mhz in bios with my OCZ1066 platinum running at 667mhz.
I load default settings in bios, then disable EIST, DOT and spread spectrum (still cant find C1E) enable smartfan to (im guessing here) 45C and 85% fan?
I manually set the ram to 667 then select linked in bios, and take 50 mhz jumps from the CPU stock speed.
Test it for stability by booting to windows, run Prime 95? for 30 minutes, and then repeat until I hopefully hit the target speed.
If i run into stability problems then I raise VTT voltage 1-2 notches and test, Then NB 1 notch and test, Then mem voltage 1-2 notches and test. If still unstable then Im at a wall/hole and should set voltages to last known stable voltages and jump 10 mhz at a time to see if it gets stable at higher speeds?? When I max out then I can tighten up my ram timings and try to lower voltages to reduce heat and increase performance. CPU-Z SPD tab reads JEDEC#3 @ 333mhz 5-5-5-19 @1.8v, is this the timings I need to start with for that setup?
I need to watch my core temps during all of this, Im unsure of what my max temps are with this CPU, there are 2 E2160's listed on intel's sight. CPU-Z says I have the M0 version (knowing my luck this is the inferior one) Intel lists max temps at 73c and 61C Im not sure which is mine, but no smoke came out at 65C under COD4 load, although it was only there about 5 minutes before I noticed and backed it down.
What I need to know:
What else if anything needs to be enabled/disabled in bios ver. 1.1?
Do I manually set the ram in bios to 667 to attempt a 1:1 ratio at 3.0ghz with this hardware? (I have ram set at 1066 now with a CPU speed of 2700.)
What is a good target for smartfan?
Are 50 mhz jumps OK when overclocking?
What stability test should I run while overclocking and how long, before I increase my clock again?
How do I detect a hole vs a wall while overclocking?
When raising voltages is there an order that needs to be followed ex. CPU, Nb, mem to achieve stability?
What target temps should I look for with stock cooling on this CPU 40/60?
I realize I am asking a lot, that is why I posted what i thought was correct and really just need someone to look it over and make sure Im on the right track and point out any flaws in my thinking.
