Now that comp is up. What tests to run. And what 8rda bios settings??(temp update help)

[FFactory0x]

Well, guys after 2 days of setting everything up. My computer is finally running.

2100+
9700 non pro
512mb pc3000 hyperx
8rda+
Window
uv light and uv round cables


Thankx a lot.


When i first booted it said 1500+ but i changed to 133fsb now its 2100+. I also changes the agp to 128m. What else should i change in the bios?? Also What programs should i run to check stabily,monitor temps and whatever etc....

I have a ys adjustable on the sk-7, and 5 antec case fans in my 835II. At stock upon bootup temp is about 28c

Sweet what were you upgrading from?

p4 1.8
geforce3
256mb pc800

I put some suggested starting-out settings near the top of the official 8RDA+ thread in the Motherboards section. EPoX includes a monitoring program on the CD (it's called USDM).

ohh. hows mobo monitor??

Chuck the FSB to 166 man
And lock PCI/AGP.
Then test. Your RAM and processor shoul dbe able to handle it if you up the voltage to 1.7~1.75.

i will do that all in good time. gotta ghost my machine first. By the way, how do i lock pci/agp. Though it was locked already. SHould they stay at the 133fsb?

 

[FFactory0x]

also i set my AGP Aperture to 128 since i have 9700. Also my mem timings I believe are 6222

 

[mechBgon]

Set the AGP Frequency to 66MHz to lock it.

 

[FFactory0x]

and pci? So basically i have my slots oced? Also you said diable agp something and pci something. Dos this lock both pci and agp?

 

[mechBgon]

The PCI clock is always 33MHz no matter what. And if you don't remember what I said in the other thread... go back and read it again, silly

hey i was up till 4:30 last night. Installation of software was easier then i ever imagined. Painless. Ill read but all those agressive and expert settings.Are they normal or kinda for ocing.

 

[FFactory0x]

hey mechBgon
Whixh is better the EPox monitoring software or mobo monitor???

 

[mechBgon]

I haven't used either one, personally. My 8RDA+ was clocked at stock speed, plus it had an Alpha PAL8045 for cooling, so I didn't have much motive to monitor the temps in the first place. I saw a couple people saying MBM wasn't working on their nForce2 boards, for what that's worth.

 

[FFactory0x]

really. You didnt oc the thing. Wow

 

[mechBgon]

It's taboo to OC an office system, in my book anyway The board unfortunately has had a failure, but it was in this system.

 

[FFactory0x]

well i read your post. Are those settings normal mode. I mean should i change my timings 6-2-2-2 to what you said

 

[mechBgon]

You don't really need to tweak all the timings, but the one important thing is to make sure the memory is running at 100% of CPU speed so they're sync'ed, and that may require setting the CPU Interface to "Aggressive."

ok. I just dled mobo monitor and dont understand it. I set sensor 1 to Winbond diode one. I guess that cpu?

Plus 2 and 3 dont show anything. I also see voltage heres my read out in High/LOW

Current..........High.............LOW...............AVG.
Sensor1 -47..............-47............-47.................-38c
+3.3 2.67..........2.67............2.67................2.67
+5 5.03...........5.00.........5.03..................5.03
+12 12.22........12.16..........12.28...........12.21
-12 -12.85......-12.93.......-12.85..........-12.85
-5 -5.04...........-5.04.........-4.99..................-5.03






What about this is this ok????????? How bought those power readings?????

Here's MBM's recommended sensor listings for EPoX boards: link

nice. cpu temp read.

Current 30c at stock 2100+ speeds. Man when i oc this puppy will be cool
