What Bios options helped you break thru?

[cypher_138]

You got the hardware the cooling and you're ready to go. SO what BIOS options have you found helpfull in over coming barriers in your OC? Was it disableing HT, your divider? What seemed to give you the extra edge? Please your findings and their results. Here's mine so far:
fsb=250
vcore-1.675
agp/pci=66/33
Vddq=1.6
vdim=2.85
Perfomance mode=Turbo
HT=Enabled*
Ram=2.5-4-4-6-4
PAT=on
All uneeded devices are disabled.
Temp @ full load=27/28c

HT being disabled made the difference. I'll edit results as I go.

:D

ooooo.....K, here's where i am and runnin at the moment:

fsb=252
vcore=1.60-(bios)_1.525-(win)
agp/pci=80/40
vdim=2.85
agp/vddq=1.60
perf. mode=auto

RAM= 2.5/4/4/7/8

PaM=auto

HT, Spred Spec, & USB Leg.=disabled

:confused: :scratch: :beat: :look:

:confused: :scratch: :beat: :look: i'm using same 1011 beta 6 bios.. 1.56v vcore you mean underload or idle ? as 1.56v in windows on my system is when set to 1.625v in bios

my 1.8v in bios is only 1.664v vcore in windows under load!

[mr. Charles]

sorry about that eva2000, that's suppose to be 1.60v for bios, and yeah it is lower reading in windows.........thx for pointing out.........btw.....did ya get my email or was it PM for the help ya gave me the other day????...........thx for the reply.......:wave: ..........:D

So the P4C800-E undervolts ?.What readings do you guys get on idle and under load with whatever you have set in the bios?.

[mr. Charles]

...i've noticed that what ever you set in the bios, it tends to fluctuate down.......about .04 to .012 of a volt. and that's just at idle; lookin in the bios under Power/Hardware Monitor/Vcore Voltage. ( first set it in your CPU Vcore Voltage/Advance; then reboot back into the bios and check it out in your Hardware monitoring,...you'll see it fluctuate up and down) :scratch: :confused:

Asus boards usually overvolt around .06 so i find it interesting it undervolts.The fluctuating up and down is strange also.I have a P4C800-E coming tuesday or wednesday so I'll see if I get the same thing.

[mr. Charles]

i've just changed memory this AM, from 1 set of CorsairTwinX512-3700PT (2x256) DDR466 Dual Ch.
to these OCZ EL DDR PC4000/512mhz(2x256) Dual Ch. GOLD's.............so i still got some tinkerin to figure here.......... but i am also waiting on a 2.4C chip i ordered friday............:wack: :chit:

I edited settings above. Since I removed the IHS my temps dropped and have allowed me to hit 260.:D The Bios I'm using is 11.007 Beta. I have the 11 final but have heard that it's the same thing as this one.:D

[mr. Charles]

:confused: ......which "IHS" are you talking about that you removed there cypher_138????.............and are you just running with air or some sort of water cooling added???:scratch:

[cypher_138]

The one on the CPU. I'm water cooling pics are in my sig for rig1. I decided to go back to a 250 FSB so I could enable HT, Turbo and PAT. This gives better all around performance. I update my inital post to reflect any changes.:)
You don't get data coruption with your pci/agp divider being so high?

[mr. Charles]

.......nope.......running with no problem-o's....but i did also cranked it down a bit............check it out below...and notice the "funny" voltage's a-mungst all???:confused: .......all in all, system running pretty much ok........yep; checked out your H2O screenie's.....and loved to do that as next project.........(if i can remember, i'll PM ya on ????'s on your H2O system; don't want to confuse anyone on this thread if i start askin, ya......know:rolleyes: )............:-)

[mr. Charles]

........hmmmmm.......can't seem to post my jpg showing different temp reading's, say's too big , oh well............i was gonna try and show that my Asus Probe showed: vcore=1.616;; then on my mdm5, it showed: cpu voltage=1.63;; and, on my CPU-Z: voltage=1.632...........both mdm5 and Asus probe show temp's= CPU of 35C. and MB of 31C. ...........srry i couldn't bring up my jpg at this time.........(2 big; gotta be less than 52000 b.)...................this is what i meant earlier on " check out all 3 below"..................but otherwise system is running stable, set here and with those agp/pci setting's of, also............
