[keviheit]

Hi All,

My system seems to be running ok, but when i play Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour sometimes it will freez. 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 3400+, DFI LanParty UT nF3 250GB, 2x 512GB Corsair (2.5) PC3200.

Here is what I have now:

FSB Bus Frequency: 238
AGP Bus Frequency: 67
LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio: 3
CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio: 10.5
CPU VID Control: 1.5
CPU VID Special Control: 110%
Chipset Voltage Control: 1.6
AGP Voltage Control: 1.6
DRAM Voltage Control: 3.0

DRAM Frequency Set: 180 (9/10)
CPC: Disabled
tCL: 2.5
tRCD: 4
tRAS: 10
tRP: 4
tRC: 11
tRFC: 14
tRRD: 2
tWR: 2
tWTR: 1
tRTW: 2
tREF: 3072
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

did you try running memtest? I would suggest that you drop your Vdimm voltage. I don't think it needs 3.0v to run at 214mhz, and it may not like the high voltage. Also...unlike some other NF3 MoBos, you don't need to set the DFI one to 67mhz to get the AGP/PCI lock.

...also, check to see if you've disabled CPU throttling. I also read somewhere that some people were having problems running the .5 multipliers, so I would try the 10 with a higher FSB instead.


also...run prime95 torture test on priority 10 overnight. If it goes for about 10-20hours without any errors, then your overclock is stable. If not, then you'll probably get random crashes like in games and such.
