Help overclocking DFI LanParty UT nF3 250GB

[imported_OldDarux]

Hi All,

My system is running ok, but I'm not sure if my settings are ok. Is there anything else I can change? Can someone help me optimize it?
I have:
Athlon 64 3200+, DFI LanParty UT nF3 250GB, 1GB OCZ (3-4-4-8) PC3200.

Here is what I have now:

FSB Bus Frequency: 244
AGP Bus Frequency: 67
LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio: 3
CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio: 10
CPU VID Control: 1.425
CPU VID Special Control: 110%
Chipset Voltage Control: 1.7
AGP Voltage Control: 1.6
DRAM Voltage Control: 2.8

DRAM Frequency Set: 180 (9/10)
CPC: Disabled
tCL: 3
tRCD: 4
tRAS: 10
tRP: 4
tRC: 15
tRFC: 17
tRRD: 00
tWR: 3
tWTR: 2
tRTW: 4
tREF: 4708 166 (1.95us)
tWCL: Auto
DQS Skew: Increase
DQS Skew Value: 64
DRAM Drive Strength: Level 1
Max Async Latency: 8
Read Preamble Time: 6
Idle Cycle Limit: 32
Dynamic Counter: Auto
R/W Queue Bypass: 16
Bypass Max: 4
32 Byte Granulation: Enable (4burst)


Thank you in advance for your help
DJ

I changed some settings:

FSB Bus Freq: 229
AGP Bus Freq: 67
LDT/FSB Freq Ratio: 4
CPU/FSB Freq Ratio: 10.5
CPU VID: 1.50
CPU VID Special: 110%
Chipset Voltage: 1.8
AGP Voltage: 1.7
DRAM Voltage: 2.9

DRAM Freq Set: 200 (1/01)
CPC: Enabled
tCL: 3
tRCD: 4
tRAS: 10
tRP: 4
tRC: 11
tRFC: 14
tRRD: 2
tWR: 2
tWTR: 1
tRTW: 2
tREF: 3072 200 (3.9us)
tWCL: Auto
DQS Skew: Increase
DQS Skew Value: 64
DRAM Drive Strength: Level 1
Max Async Latency: 8
Read Preamble Time: 6
Idle Cycle Limit: 32
Dynamic Counter: Enabled
R/W Queue Bypass: 16
Bypass Max: 7
32 Byte Granulation: Enable (4burst)

CPU-Z shows following:

CPU Core Speed: 2405.5 MHz
Multiplier: 10.5
HTT: 229.1 MHz
Memory: 229.1 MHz

Any other suggestions? I can't push Memory over 229

Thx
DJ

the way it is, your RAM isnt really at 229. the a64 does not use real half-multipliers, it simply decreases the bus speed and increases the multi to the next whole number. so your real fsb is 2405.5/11= 218.7MHz. try just doing 11*219, you should get the same results.

You didn't state what type of OCZ RAM you have (performance, gold, platinum, etc.). Depending on what you have, you might be able to do a bit better on the timings there, and maybe even get it 1:1. If you haven't already, check out the info on settings on this forum and see if you can't tweak things a bit.

I have the same board. Can someone tell me what all those lines mean?
