Help Overclocking. No Success

[JBDan]

In real world performance NO, but as far as benches I have done best with a 3:2 Then again I just dont recommend running your RAM with these dividers as they DO hinder performance in "real world performance." If all you care about is benches then fine, use the divider lol. Nick1985 has done wonders with that Gskill. Seems pretty sweet!

hell yes. maybe some time next year haha currently im running a 5:3 divider and i played source for a good half hour at 2.45. then crashed. :S so.. im back down to a 2.1 where i can play. its funny though i couldent run games at 2.4 or 2.5 yet i managed to get 2.45. also asus probe and cpuz recognize the vcore as 1.40 - 1.45 but in bios i have it at 1.500. my friend with this board also had this problem and said that the probe didnt pick up his increased vcore till it was 1.6. ill try the 3:2 divider now and see how that works for me

Yea probe does NOT report the vcore correctly until 1.575 on my pc for some reason. I hate software monitors myself ya just cant trust them in my opinion. G-Luck wit that 3:2 and post your results

alright i tried 2.45 again. stable. trying 2.5 now. stable for 20 mins + of source. vcore at 1.5 and seems good at 2.5. 2.55 next then 2.6. the 3:2 divider works fine. im under the 200mhz thing for the ram -its running about ddr 370 so i have plenty of headroom to go. clock times reported in cpuz are 2.5-3-3-6 how are these? but then again the ram is running at 179mhz. idle temps are STILL 31 even when before i had the proc @2.0 or stock, they were 30. so a 1 degree increase sounds great to me. i have also yet to feel the slightest bit of heat coming off of my XP-90 so thats doing a damn fine job. my friend with water cooling runs his idle at like 38? haha som this heatsink really does work. i have a 90mm fan spinning at 2900 rpm average which is quite loud. i didnt have the option of getting a panaflo fan but this one does a mighty job. so. 2.55 now should i up the vcore to anything? 1.55?

JBDan..what differences do you notice with 1:1 vs a memory divider..some of the best o/cers have indicated 1:1 provides maybe 2-5% improved performance over a memory divider with a the higher fsb and higher cpu speed...this is supposed to due to the memory controller being on the cpu die...

I am curious what you notice and feel in you day to day pps and games....your opinion differs from others so I am curious

$250+ for high end ram is lot imho for a very small performance improvement

I notice that a 2:1 (1:1 on all other mobo's) performs the most consistently on the A8V Deluxe. Well this is a tough subject if you have not read the earlier posts. 2:1 on the a8v deluxe is different than what you are use to hearing. 2:1 is actually the same as 1:1 on MOST other mobo's. I hope that ASUS fixes this on a newer BIOS PLZ! When you say "best overclockers" what do you mean?? You mean benchmark scores?? These benchies are fun I admit, but how does your pc perform when you are using it for what you use it for! Just my experience with the A8V deluxe and AMD3500+ 90nm CorsairXL pc3200 The divider on your RAM/FSB is NOT the most OPTIMUM way to run your system, but this doesnt mean that you wont get the BEST "BENCH" scores. The truth is what do you really want out of your system? Good bench scores or "consistent" performance in day-to-day apps and games? My opinion is suppose to differ from others and I am glad it does Merry X-Mas!!

The way I understand it, when you change your "memory divider", you are really changing your multiplier. Going assync has little effect, and in sync mem is not worth the extra money, escpecially when talking an extra $100 for 1gb. Note that there is no "fsb" with a64.

This could be a peculurality to your mobo however, i suppose.

Do you guys really notice anything real-world when OCing your CPUs? I mean like in games, multitasking on the desktop, etc.

Absolutely YES in multitasking (quicker to reacting apps opening) I do, but everyday performance NO its like the difference of the blink of your eye, but this matters to some peeps! As far as "real world performance" it is so minimal (in my opinion) , but then again thats what this forum is for. It is sooo much FUN seeing what your system is capable of aft you pay $$ for it

I've just been reading through here. (Yo sup SFurry )

If I understand this correctly, this mobo gives ya different multiplier settings when changing the HT instead of its base freq. Could that be the cause of my 3000+ Winchester running unstable over 285HTT? I have vcore at 1.450 and everything else to auto. I've set the mem divider to auto and right now I'm running 275HTT and ram at 225mhz with 3-3-3-8 clocks. They're two sticks of 512mb Kingston "value ram" pc 3200.

Edit - btw where can you find actual HT freq?

2.8volts for your ram should be fine. Infact my memory is required to run at 2.8v so when you change the setting in the bios to a certain voltage, don't expect it to actually run at that voltage. I will really run from about .05-.1 volts less then you selected. On my p4 system I don't even have the voltage on the cpu raised at all! It's running at default voltage and I have it overclocked to 3.5ghz from 2.8. I have pc4000 ram so I'm able to run it in sync. Check your voltages to make sure they are stable, how many watt PSU do you have?

JBDan:

the overclockers I am talking about..Duvie, Zebo, Thugsrock..report benches but all state how they feel their apps preform....I could careless about a benhchmark..I want my apps, games to run faster...

my understanding was with the A64 async memory had little performance issues..that is why I asked how you felt your "1:1" vs memory divider affected your real life performance
