ronning Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I have a mathced pair of Corsair ValueSelect model VS1GBKIT400 512 mb sticks running on an MSI K8N Neo Platinum socket 754 motherboard. I have the mobo running "optimized defaults." This motherboard also has dynamic overclocking which I am considering turning on. It's running an Athlon64 3200+ For dynamic OC (up to 15% OC), what would be good timings and voltage settings for these chips? I believe the BIOS default is 2.6v and 2.5-3-3-8. THANKS! A footnote: I realize that these chips are not "meant" for overclocking and I don't plan on overclocking very much or very often. The motherboard has the option to dynamically overclock whenever my machine requires extra performance. Since I run mostly Adobe & Macromedia desktop software the CPU is usually not pegged. However, i often also use 3d CAD programs and raytracing software which is EXTREMELY cpu intensive. A little extra "oomph" now and then would be great! However, since this is fairly critical data i also don't want to have horribly corrupt data because the voltages are wrong or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyKid Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Welcome to the forums, ronning! The default of 2.5-3-3-8 up to 3-4-4-8 would be pretty safe to use, but I'd also bump the DDR votage upwards of 2.7 or 2.75 for an OC. You should backup the computer (or hotswap a disk) and then manually overclock the system to see how high you can get it to go while remaining stable, then set those maximums into your dynamic profile. That way it won't ever cause it to go beyond it's limits. Good luck! PLUR CK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronning Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 the core center software included with the MSI mobo allows runs a test in windows pushing the OC until the system reboots and then throttles it back a bit and reports the system's "safe" OC level. So I'll do that and use that as a benchmark for the maximum dynamic OC of the BIOS. I'll try 2.7 volts. Is there a voltage that would be *damaging* to these chips? Do I risk damage at a voltage above 2.7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Nade Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I'm running @ 2.5-3-3-7-1T, 2.8V 257 FSB (5:3 Divider, DDR333) with no problems. Too bad my ASUS A8V won't let me up the VDimm to atleast 2.9V. http://www.ocforums.com/showpost.php?p=3139222&postcount=58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
