SVC 0319 1700+ help

[amcdonald]

Has anyone had one of these chips not break 2100mhz stably?
just set up 2 of them, one in an 8rga+ and one in an 8rda+ and neither will even post at 13x166.
Argh.....

Did you try to up the voltage? That should at least give you an idea of what might be the "problem." Please also take a note that you are asking for a near 700 MHz overclock.

Yea i've pushed it as high as 1.9v with no tangible difference. forgot to mention that.
I know its a ~900 mhz OC. Thats why I spent the extra $20 on each chip.

SVC 319 1700+ look at my sig. The chip wouldn't run stable at anything over 2125 up to 1.6v the first weeks. I just decided to push it again recently and it decided to give. Burn in not a myth? Well temps are friggin high and this smartfan2 is killing my ears. Waiting on h20.

try 12.5 x 166

it may be the 13x mult that the board isn't recognizing

 

[amcdonald]

Thanks shim I'll try that. besides unlucky I've only tried 11, 12, 12.5, and they all post.
Are these locked above 12.5x?

did you update your bios to the latest?
if not, do so


withthe latest bios, the boards will have access to mults 13x and up

 

[amcdonald]

they came with the latest bios. The boards give me up to 24x.

Does 12.5 x 166+ work?

 

[amcdonald]

yup

try a low cpu freq and mult of 13 or higher jst to be sure it isnt the mult messing up

these chips are weird, I've had them not work at a certain fsb when paired with a certain multiplier, and but both the multiplier and fsb work with other combos. Also my chip overclocked a lot more after burn in. check out my thread at [L=]http://forum.oc-forum.com[/L], it's under amd cpu, or do a search for dlt3c 1700 under the same username. I've had a trip, but right now i'm sitting at 210x12 @ 1.9v, and it won't take any voltages higher than 1.9v, even at lower speeds or anything.
