Help! Fail Orthos at stock speed

[Dug]

Gigabyte 965 S3 w/ latest bios f6, 6400c2d, 2gb pqi 5400.
Orthos fails after about 50minutes, with both sticks of mem or just one.
memtest passes fine.
Temps don't hit over 54c with stock heatsink.


Any ideas?

Whats your voltage?

You haven't overclocked with this machine yet, have you? Just wondering.

Everything is stock voltages and speeds. The memory says it needs 2.0 according to Newegg.
Do you think that's the problem? The bios doesn't say what the stock voltage is for the memory, but I can increase it in .1 increments.

raise the voltage to .02 to get 2 volts . the gigabyte will set your voltage to 1.8 upon startup .

also if you want to overclock i suggest you flash it to F7 , i am now at 486 fsb

It's all good, I didn't see what you said before the edit anyway *P

Good idea. However, the OP should not overclock ANYTHING until he can get his stability issues sorted out at stock settings. Something may need replacement either due to faulty hardware or incompatiblity, and he won't want to void any warranties before he decides that it's RMA time.

I think you missed the part where the memory is rated at 2.0 not 1.8 so he should run it at 2.0 all the time to really be stock.

You may be having vdroop issues too. Try bumping up the vcore 1 notch and try it.

as i said before gigabyte boots at 1.8 so if memory is rated at 2.0 then raise it .02 to achieve this .

i just flashed to F7 bios and almost done with orthos 24 hr stable at this fsb . limitation for me is just above 490 .

I didn't miss that part. I'm just repeating information for the OP's own good in case he decides to tweak something aside from the vdimm. It would not be the first time that someone in here tried to RMA something after learning it's unstable when overclocked and then unstable at stock settings.

Obviously he has to set vdimm to 2.0v manually to get his RAM running at factory specs. It would seem to have corrected his issues, too, or so it is hoped.

Well, come to find out it was the memory.

Tested each stick with memtest - works fine.

Boot up with one stick and test with Orthos - works fine after 6hrs testing.

Boot up with other stick and test with Orthos - fails in just a few minutes.


Strange that memtest didn't find a problem.
