NF3-250 Gb/ NEO Plat / Newcastle and Clawhammer owners

Neo Plat.mobo , A64 3200 CLAWHAMMER C0 rev, 3700 BH-5 2 x256

No matter what settings I try I cannot get 1:1 memory speeds
other than that board runs great

I get
240 FSB = 200 mem. speed
225 FSB = 187 mem. speed
200 FSB = 166 mem. speed
verified this in BIOS and CPUZ

yes "max mem speed" is set to 200
HT 3x or 4X makes no diff.

I tried 1.3 BIOS and 1.42, no help

I DO NOT have the 1T command option in the BIOS, WHY?
from the CO chip or?

could it be the memory controller of the CPU itself?!

Any ideas?

 

[T-man]

anyone?

Are you saying you can't get 1:1 when you set it to 200mhz in the BIOS or are you saying that you can't overclock to 230+ 1:1?

 

[T-man]

I cannot get 1:1 at any FSB speed

at 200FSB = 166 memory speed

Well, it's definitely something to do with your motherboard then. Check out the MSI forums or google, that board has been nothing but problems for most people who've owned it.

the board rocks, I just don't get this no 1:1

I'd check the MSI forums. Sounds like there is something screwy with the bios. Maybe there's a beta that helps.

Can you set it to auto, that should let it hit 1/1.

 

[T-man]

nope auto = same thing, no 1:1

Which slots are you using for your two sticks of 256mb? Look at page 2-8 of your manual.

I've got two 512mb sticks in slots 1 and 3 with no probs.

Still need some help here guys
I tried ALL slots, 1 stick ,2 sticks
I even switched to a 3200 1 meg cache chip!
no 1:1 memory?!?!?

WTH?

also, I lost my 1T command when going to the 3200+

 

[T-man]

well heres my answer---

Memory change = 1:1

CPU change = 1T hidden
