where would i find the vdd/vchipset voltage to in the bios? i havent seen anything like it whilst i have looking in there (tweaking it anyway), its an epox 8rda+ board, i have only abit boards before, this is my first other board!! i must admit, some of the options i did see in the abit board arent here in the epox.. it must have been a sign..
well im just doing a memtest-86 (v3.0) and at the moment its running at 11 x 206FSB (2276mhz @ 1.750v) at Cas 2 2-2-5 memory settings and its done 85% at the moment, at the moment, no errors across the board
i think its only doing the basic testing.. i dont really have the need to wait 3 hours or so.. i aint that worried about it!! its new memory, it should work... i hope :shrug:
i have tried the following tests and as far as i can see, i think im just hitting a wall..
11 x 205 booted and ran 3dmark 2001se fine
11.5 x 205 booted but exited 3dmark 2001se
i have also tried lowering the fsb setting and highering the multiplier ie 190 x 12.5 or something like that, again fail. i have upped the vcore to 1.85v and still no joy, even with the memory voltage up to 2.9v no joys...
at the moment its running fine at 206x11, but anything higher and its just crashing out with blue screens..
i was considering to buy a abit nf7-s and putting what i have in/on that.. would be have much of a difference? i was also going to buy another xp1700 cpu.. see if that overclocked better or what have you.. what you think?
p.s its just completed the test.. pass 1.. i assume it means its pased one run of the test??? i have never used it before!!
thanks for the help!
