64 3000 oc

[jrussel]

i have a athlon 64 3000 on an asus kt800 deluxe. of course, i tryin to overclock it, but the only thing it will let me due as far as clock speed is concerned is lower the ht speed. basically, is it possible to oc on this chipset/mobo?

Welcome to the forums

So you have a K8V but can't find overclocking options? I know there's a couple guys around here with that board that overclock so post in the Official thread for the K8V in the motherboard forum and ask how to overclock with it.

Jumperfree menu -> fsb adjustment

It's all in the manual

gl buddy I'll be cranking up mah fsb on mah new 3000+ in about 48-72 hours...

You will need to check your memory setup. There will be very little or no overclocking if you have 2:1 with memory that cannot take it. Also the so called "auto" options are no go, at least not for me but you should be able to get at least 100-150 MHz that way. And again check the memory, the right option to select there is "Limit" not "Auto". And learn precisely what your memory can do, well you must have some specs of that. Clock delay is to be left at auto whatever else you set for other memory options.
You will also need at least Bios version 3 to get any decent overclock. Or better version 4. Anything older is with all sorts of PC 3200 memory problems.

There is another thing: 3000+ are actually cache defective 3200+, according to many. If that is the case I kind of doubt these are chips that are equal every other way to 3200+ meaning whatever AMD say, I would not trust.

WTF are you talking about here Joe?

So memclock to cpu ratio 2:1 (DDR 400) is for PC3200? I thought the Athlon 64 had a 200 mhz fsb so the ram should run at 1:1 (ddr 200)...

EDIT: If I leave memclock on auto, it says I'm at 400 mhz on the memory so is that the 2:1?

AMI bios calls it 2:1, that is the way it is in the bios. 400 versus 200, 2:1, as AMI bios sees it.

Looks like 3000+ are the cache defective 3200+. That is what many think, I don't know whether it is or not. Now if a chip came out with defective cache do you think it is otherwise just the same as the one that came out fine? I kind of doubt but hey, it is only me.
If airliner tells you - this airplane has two engines that work and the other two malfunctioned so we just keep them for decoration, it is equally good as the one with four engines, just a little slower, you have 30% discount - would you fly in it?

The upcoming A64 cpus are shifting to 512k of L2. It appears that the 3000+ may just be ahead of its time.

I got my HTT to 220, but it crashes in 3d apps. I think the video card doesn't like the AGP bus that fast. 217 works good though (2170) in anything. May have to change my sig......

Newcastle is not out yet and the current 512k athlon64 is a 1MB chip with 1/2 disabled, like a thorton athlon chip is.

You are one misinformed person.

Mark, can you lower your multiplier? Try lowering that and upping the fsb to 220 and see if your video card crashes again.

Probably so,

NO PCI - AGP lock?

What is the AGP spec at... 88mhz?
