how to set ram dividers on msi neo 2 plat

i just got the msi neo2 plat w/ 3000+ winch processor. no problems at all under stock conditions but i want to OC and i have always been used to the old days of regular athlon xp ocing. now its not so clear anymore.... anyways i have 1 gig of pc3500 hyperx kingston ram rated for 2-3-3-7 at 200mhz. i just tried bumping up the fsb of the processor to 210 and it wouldn't boot. i did leave the htt at 5X however which i believe was a mistake. i was just looking for a little input on the general best way to start the OC of this board and processor.... thanks for the help
 
Before you OC set the HTT to 4x. Then up the FSB by like 5%, then try 10%, etc. Do it slowly, and don't change the voltage until you absolutely need to. That ram there will take you to 2.187ghz before you need to OC the ram.
 
should i leave all the ram settings at auto? i know i can change them manually to what they "should" spec for, but i really don't feel like resetting my cmos over and over...
 
really? hmmm when i set it to 2.5 4 4 9 it just flaked out and wouldn't boot. not sure why.... shouldn't i set a ram divider to try and push up the mhz before messing with the memory OC? and to set that divider do i just change the memory max freq to like 166, 133 etc.?
 
PLace the ram to 133...cas 2.5,4,4,10, leave at 1t

HTT = 3x
vcore = 1.5
over vid = 0%
vdimm = 2.7
vagp = 1.55-1.6v

You need a bios of 1.3 or greater or you will have issues getting past 220fsb

Leave multi at default or 9x and go right for 240fsb...with a 133 ram divider this will be in the 360ddr range or not even pc3000....
 
nothing, no damn boot, im thinking it could be the chip. im gonna run prime 95 on it and see if there is any problems.
 
What Bios are you running?? The one that came with the board??? If so many of these came with less then a 1.3 bios and that can be an issue...
 
it shows bios revision 1.3 in sandra....this is seriously pissing me off. im getting pissed as hell resetting the cmos over and over. set the damn timings to 3 4 4 10 at 220 fsb using 166 divider
and no fu king boot!!! thats a fu king joke
 
make sure you have cool n quiet disabled...

set the divider to 133....

Do you have SATA drives?? Make sure they are in the 3 or 4 port since they are locked....

Also set the agp to 67
 
Try one stick of ram at a time at first. I had the same issues and it wound up being one of my ram sticks wasn't stable when o/c'ing, even with dividers. I know it's weird, but with the one good stick in I could go to 280HTT. If the other one was in the system wouldn't boot past 220. The ram I was using was Corsair XMS 3200, so it was (well supposedly) good quality. I bought the Patriot TCCD ram and now run 275 3-4-4-8 1T @2.85v.
 
i have thought the ram could be the problem, but putting at such speeds under 200mhz should eliminate that problem, now i do have a 74 gig raptor im using and it is on sata port 1. that could be a problem, but i don't know if it would be a problem with booting up completely... but i'll definately change that and the agp frequency and report back. i'll try 210 fsb this time with a divider of 133.

It could be...as you raise the fsb the pci clock gets out of spec and could cause an issue.....

That's kinda what I was saying, even though I had the ram running at 200 or less with the dividers, that one stick wouldn't run when I raised the HTT to over 220. Very strange indeed.

Having you SATA drive on 1 or 2 could easily be the problem, definitely get that thing on 3 or 4 and check again.
 
i changed it to port 3.... but now its locking up on windows boot....it could be the processor, as i had some gift cards to frys and i bought the processor from frys (and we all know that from frys bs policy they stick bad crap back in good stock) so im probably gonna just return for another one that hasn't been opened. but now im gonna have to drive like an extra 20 miles because the fry's near my house is completely out of everything .09nm processor as i got the last one.... i had changed everything like you guys suggested...i even left everything back at stock and still freeze on boot...
 
up for anymore suggestions although i still do believe the processor is bad, i am going to go to fry's to return the thing after work today and hopefully i can get another one to pop in and run like a 3000+ is supposed to.
 
it turns out its not the processor, went and exchanged for another one and the same problem.... sometimes it just freezes at the msi startup screen and every once in a while freezes at windows bootup. i swapped memory, tried an ide hdd with sata disabled, and when i swapped the power supply for another it would not even post! so im thinking i might need a more powerful supply. the antec 350 i swapped in only had 16A on the 12V rail, and the turbolink p/s had 18V on the 12V rail, so maybe it could just post with the turbolink but wouldn't do anything with the antec? anyone else have some ideas?
