OC Micro and RAM
-
You should be able to overclock it manually, another thing is that you might reach 400 per limit on the board or in micro, for memory I think that with what I have told you you should not have a problem, I suppose they will hold 800 with latencies 6-6-6-18 and 1.9V. -
Well I have touched some voltages that were on AUTO and I have set them fixed (not to fluctuate, I have looked at information)
- FSB: 1.30 v
- NB: 1.25 v
- SB: 1.50 v
- ICH: AUTO
Changing the processor to I noticed a minimal improvement, unnoticeable but there it is, in the SuperPi, before touching that, it took 18,408 seconds to do 1M, after touching that it does it in 17,596 seconds.
The data is insignificant but it is already a step in the right direction, now I will get on with the frequency, in principle I am going to try this:
- FSB: 365x9
- VRAM: 1.90 v (will I not burn them? they are some kinsgton valueram, I don't know if they will hold up…)
- RAM: 730 Mhz (365x2)
We will see what happens!
Goodbye!

I've been tinkering a bit and I've managed to get it to boot and enter Windows with the following settings:
-
FSB: 356x9 – 3.202 Mhz
-
VCore: 1.3500 v
-
RAM: 712 Mhz 5-5-5-15
-
VRAM: 1.90 v
The orthos doesn't last even 1 minute, and I get this error:
"FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.
Torture Test ran 0 minutes 29 seconds - 1 errors, 0 warnings.
Execution halted."In the 29 seconds that the Orthos has lasted, Core Temp has marked 46ºC as the maximum temperature, so the temperatures seem to be okay for now, right?
What should I do now to make it stable? Should I increase the VCore to more than 1.35v??
The stress test for the RAM also fails, but I don't know if it's because of the processor or the memory. Should I leave it at 1.9v or increase it to 1.95v? 2.0v seems like too much and I don't want to reach that number, so I'll set 1.95v as the maximum.
I'll continue tomorrow as it's getting late!
Best regards!

It would be better for you to first test if the micro's oc is stable by lowering the memory divider so that you don't have any problems and then oc the rest. I imagine that in order for the memory to go up you will have to increase the latencies to cas 6. -
I continue with my attempt to reach 3.4 Ghz, I tell you: I have noticed problems with the Vcore, that is, I set it to 1.31v, for example, and in the Hardware Monitor of the BIOS it marks that the voltage of the core is 1.28v. The same thing happens if I intend to go beyond 1.35v, so that in the Hardware Monitor of the BIOS the reading of the voltage of the core is 1.366v, I have to set the Vcore to 1.41v, which is the real voltage? Is it normal for the voltage to drop so much between what you set and what it gives? What is the real voltage then? The one marked by the BIOS sensor or the one I set manually? Thanks! Regards! I EDIT: Currently I have it at 1.31v and it marks 1.28v, but it drops even more in FULL, when passing the Orthos it drops to 1.24-1.25v, is the voltage in FULL the real one? -
The real one will be whatever it is, the thing is that you have voltage drop under load (understand it as a dynamic value). If you don't have the LLC (Load Line Calibration) option you won't be able to fix this Vdroop. Then there's the Vdrop, which is the difference between what's set and the "real" voltage. Try that with CPU-Z to see what it shows you.Bm4n the memories are already 1:1 but well, there will always be latencies as you say.
elsaq relaxes the latencies if they are not already at 6-6-6-18 (you can look it up in CPU-Z). Focus first on the micro that's what's going to give you the most performance, and then if you want you can adjust the latencies a bit more aggressively.
-
If you can't lower the memory timings any more, do the opposite, first OC the memory by raising the divider and lowering the CPU speed. It's a manual process to OC part by part, this is the only way you can know for sure what is stable and what isn't. The only thing you're doing now is taking a gamble by putting high values on the ram without knowing why it's not stable.
Once you have the CPU without OC, you can see what values the memory supports, but normally if it's a high OC, it's necessary to increase the latencies.
And as obione says, vdrop and vdroop is normal and you should take it into account.

Thanks for the help! ;D
For now I'm going to leave it as it was before at 3 Ghz stable, the micro has been like this for 5 years and I don't want to risk it now by increasing it 200 or 400 mhz and crash it, and on top of that I just bought the RAM so that it crashes too xD
I wanted to increase it because in a week or so I will change my graphics card, from an X1950XT to an HD 6850, and I fear it will make a "bottleneck" and that's why I want to increase it to 3.2-3.4 Ghz, but well, when I buy it I will test it at 3 Ghz and if I play games well I won't worry hehe
Thanks! Regards!

Not everyone is suited to overclocking, you need to have knowledge and a lot of patience, it's not just about increasing values. Anyway, as a consolation, I'll tell you that 200MHz will do little to improve the performance of the graphics.

the only real voltage is the one that is obtained by measuring it on the motherboard with a polymeter / multimeter / tester. if you have one of these it would be much easier to know the real voltage.

el unico voltaje real es el que se consigue midiendolo en la placa base con un polimetro / multimetro / tester. si tienes uno de estos seria bastante mas facil saber el voltaje real.
De verdad pretendes que mida en la placa con un polimetro? :fumeta:

digo yo que se referirá a medir en los conectores de entrada a la placa

Que dices? No creo que sepa y menos necesite ponerse con un polimetro a medir en la placa, como para cargarse algo sin querer.

No seas tan duro con él hombre, lo mismo controla un poco más de lo que pensamos

Y bueno, en realidad está comentando que si le va bien lo dejará como estaba… tampoco tiene mucho de qué preocuparse en tal caso :rollani:
¡Saludos!

Tranquilo entiendo que diga que no tengo idea, no me lo tomo a mal para nada, realmente nunca dejamos de aprender cosas nuevas

Pero la verdad es que de OC y hardware algo entiendo, mi E6600 no a subido por si solo de 2.4 ghz a 3 ghz nada más comprarse y lleva asi 5 años sin el más mínimo problemas, con temperaturas máximas del core de 45ºC, por supuesto con su mantenimiento casi mensual, es decir, cuido mucho mi hardware.
Gracias por los consejos!
Un saludo! -

No no, no es por ti, te puedo asegurar que yo aunque llevo años le tengo respeto a hacer mediciones con un polímetro porque ya no es la primera vez que hago un corto, igual es que soy un patoso, pero si alguna vez vas a hacerlo debes tener cuidado y saber como proceder. Por eso no le diría a alguien así sin mas que se ponga a medir.
Sobre el OC lo dicho paciencia y probar las latencias y ver cual es el limite de la ram sin oc al CPU.

No hay mayor verdad que esa :sisi:
Y por supuesto, todos aquí sabemos que cualquier consejo o comentario de hace Bm4n siempre es constructivo o para ayudar, solo bromeaba un poco con la circunstancia :rollani:
Como ya se ha dicho en muchos otros posts si hay algo que impera en HL es el respeto y la caballerosidad :sisi:Perdón por el pequeño off-topic, volviendo al tema, haces muy bien en darle un mantenimiento continuado al equipo, sobre el OC ya te comentan, paciencia y probar mucho. Si en 3 ghz es estable, tienes buenas temps y la memoria no da problemas, déjalo así que no te hará mucho cuello de botella, más teniendo en cuenta lo que Bm4n te comentó anteriormente, la diferencia de 3ghz a 3'2 o 3'4 es muy escasa, no te ayudaría apenas.
Saludos

Jeje no la verdad es que no tengo inteción de usar un polimetro y menos "a ver que pasa" jeje por que con eso si que no tengo ni idea, casi lo veo mucho mas seguro subir voltajes y controlar las temperaturas para saber mas o menos el voltaje "real" que da.
Lo dicho, de momento se queda como esta, por que ya vi que el problema para pasar de 3 Ghz son las memorias Kingston ValueRam, las cuales no les recomiendo a nadie que quiera hacer OC, si no vas hacer OC no están mal, aun que hoy en dia hay muchas mejores opciones de marcas (era novato cuando compré y seleccioné cada pieza para un buen rendimiento en OC y nose por que motivo compré esa RAM, de todo se aprende jeje)
Un saludo!

¿Seguro que el problema está ahí? Muchas KVR 667 CL5 subían a 800 ¿Has relajado latencias?
Yo tuve unas KVR 333 que subían por encima de 400 :rollani: No es por defender a capa y espada las KVR pero, si querías un FSB de 400 podrías haberte estirado a por unas DDR2 800 asegurándote que las memorias aguantan.

Cierto, las KVR tenían fama de subir bien, con chips buenos llegaban a 1000mhz cl5 y con los más malos solían llegar a 800mhz. Pero también puede ser que te hayan tocado unas malas, todo es cuestión de ir probando voltajes y frecuencias
