hello there, :D:

 

i hope u can help me out, i read alot of the posts over here, and i couldn't find any post about anyone has a mobo like mine.

 

anyway, the current timing for the memories are 5-5-5-18 "XMS2X2048-6400C4 " and i want to make it 4-4-4-12 with vol 2.1.

 

and also i need some help to adjust the cpu's core from 2.4Ghz to 3Ghz.

 

sorry i'm lil bit confused and i can't concentrate :[pouts:

 

your help will be much appreciated.

 

thanks ! :D:

Download memtest from http://www.memtest.org and extract the ISO image. Burn the ISO image to an CD-ROM disk.

 

Enter your BIOS and apply these settings:

 

Memory Timing

 

FSB - Memory Clock Mode: Unlinked

CPU FSB: 333

CPU Multi: 9

DDR FSB: 800

tCL: 4

tRCD: 4

tRP: 4

tRAS: 12

 

Advanced Memory Settings

tRRD: Auto

tRC: Auto

tWR: Auto

tWTR: Auto

tREF: Auto

Async Latency: Auto

CMD: 2T

 

CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled

PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled

MCP PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled

SATA Spread Spectrum: Disabled

LDT Spread Spectrum: Disabled

 

CPU Internal Thermal Control: Enabled

Limit CPUID MaxVal: Enabled

Enhanced C1 (C1E): Enabled

Execute Disable Bit: Enabled

Virtualization Technology: Enabled

Enhanced Intel Speedstep Tech: Enabled

LDT Frequency: 5x

 

PCIEX16_1 Frequency (Mhz): 101

PCIEX16_2 Frequency (Mhz): 101

PCIEX16_3 Frequency (Mhz): 101

SPP<->MCP Ref Clock, Mhz: 201

 

 

Voltages

Vcore = 1.35v

Vdimm (DRAM Voltage) = 2.1v

1.2v HT: 1.3v

NB Vcore: 1.35v

SB Vcore: 1.50v

CPU VTT: 1.30v

Boot to the optical drive with the memtest disk and allow for two full passes.

back again, unfortunately, some of these settings couldn't be found in the options, i'll list them now and what i've found and what not, anyway, i didn't set them yet just in case there's something not proper.

 

 

Memory Timing

 

FSB - Memory Clock Mode: Unlinked

CPU FSB: 333

CPU Multi: 9 i couldn't find any option to set the FSB as u told me, i found this instead :

" System Clock Mode : with 3 options " CPU Precision Tweaker + CPU/MEM Manual Mode ( which gives me the option to edit the value "NEW FSB Speed (DDR ) 1067 " and only to increase till 2100 i guess and not less than 1057 , and an option for " NEW MEM Speed (DDR) which is already sat at 400 " ) and AUTO ".

 

DDR FSB: 800 - founded , ok

 

tCL: 4 - oktRCD: 4 - ok

tRP: 4 - oktRAS: 12 - ok - but there's t(CAS) which i found and u didn't tell me what to set it to. Advanced Memory Settings

 

tRRD: Auto

tRC: Auto

tWR: Auto

tWTR: Auto

tREF: Auto

Async Latency: Auto

CMD: 2T - couldn't find all these

 

CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled - ok

PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled - SB spread Spectrum "instead" - ?

MCP PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled - NB spread specturm "instead" - ?

SATA Spread Spectrum: Disabled - ok

LDT Spread Spectrum: Disabled - ok

 

CPU Internal Thermal Control: Enabled - found Auto or Disable

Limit CPUID MaxVal: Enabled - ok

Enhanced C1 (C1E): Enabled - ok

Execute Disable Bit: Enabled - ok

Virtualization Technology: Enabled - ok

Enhanced Intel Speedstep Tech: Enabled -ok

LDT Frequency: 5x - ok

 

PCIEX16_1 Frequency (Mhz): 101

PCIEX16_2 Frequency (Mhz): 101

PCIEX16_3 Frequency (Mhz): 101

SPP<->MCP Ref Clock, Mhz: 201 - coulnt be found!

 

Voltages

 

Vcore = 1.35v - ok

Vdimm (DRAM Voltage) = 2.1v ok

1.2v HT: 1.3v ok

NB Vcore: 1.35v - can't be set at 1.35v , min 1.40 or Auto

SB Vcore: 1.50v ok

CPU VTT: 1.30vok

 

and thanks for your assists :roll:

Set these:

 

System Clock Mode: Manual

 

NEW FSB Speed (DDR ) 1333

 

DDR FSB: 800 - founded , ok

 

tCL: 4 - ok

tRCD: 4 - ok

tRP: 4 - ok

tRAS: 12 - ok

t(CAS): 4 t(CAS) is the same as tCL and should be set to 4 on this system

 

Results?

 

 

CPU Internal Thermal Control: Auto

 

Voltages

 

NB Vcore: 1.45v

back , new issue :[pouts:

 

the pc starts to show me blue screens, diffirent reasons each time < had it 3 times > , and when i start the pc it gives me a messages saying that " DISK BOOT FAILURE, USE A BOOTABLE CD AND PRESS ENTER " or something like this.

 

so i had to insert my win-xp cd into the drive and wait til it says " press any key to boot from cd " , ignore it , and windows starts.

 

 

i went back to bios, re-set the FBS to 1066 and restart the pc and everything is ok till now for days ago.

 

anyway , i'm fine now but i'd like to know why did i have that message when i overclocked the cpu speed ?

 

and yeah, i re-set the voltages too.

 

the most important thing is i'm having my RAMs running at the best timing, but i really would like to overclock the cpu. so i hope u have some info about it.

 

 

thanks again. :):

Try turning off the following like nvidia recomends, it might help.........:bigeyes:

 

CPU Internal Thermal Control:

Limit CPUID MaxVal:

Enhanced C1 (C1E):

 

And bump the CPU voltage up a notch. Also at a low 1333 FSB you shouldn't have to up the NB voltage all that much, a notch above stock "should" be more than enough.

 

Give this a try and see if it helps.

Another Nvidia issue. Such a light overclock as 2.4Ghz to 3.0 should NOT issue any errors. I have never seen an Intel chipset based board issue errors on such a light clocking.

 

333FSB? This is another reason why I advise that Intel Chipset based boards are the way to go with Intel CPUs.

 

Crashes with 2.4 to 3.0? On water-cooling? That's totally sick and I don't mean sick in a good way.

yeah man, it's really silly, anyway, i'm gonna change the board to evga 680i with adding another Tiwnx of CM2X2048-6400c4 of RAMS to be total 4GB of ram. i'm planing to upgrade to VIESTA.

 

anyway i'll try your suggestions Bio-Hazard and let u know.

 

thanks guys.

I've had noproblem OC'ing either of my Nvidia based boards (650i or 680i LT) chipsets. They are really very simple really, the 590 that the OP has is another story, I've seen a bunch of folks have issues with that board in the past................:eek:

 

On my little old 650i board (MSI 6N SLI) I hold the top OC (suicide run)for the E4300 on several forums and with my 680i LT board (XFX 680i LT) I hold the top stable OC as well ( [H] ).

 

With either of thos chipsets and either of my CPU's going to a 333 fsb (1333 quad pumped) it's a simple matter of upping the FSB and the rest is left at stock, no need to adjust CPU or NB voltages at all, but that may be different depending on the CPU you have.

Indeed, but I work in the industry and the return rates on Nvidia based chipsets are far higher than the return on Intel based chipsets. This is across the board (no pun intended) and yes, there will be successes. Of course there will be success and more successes than failures, or else the companies would not be in business.

There should be NO issues on (any overclocking board) with a simple 2.4 (E6600) raise to 3.0Ghz. There should very likely be no changes on any of the settings related to CPU with such a light overclock. I am speaking to board return issues and Nvidia is not as refined a chip as Intel with regards to this singular return rate issue.

guys , i had another blue screen with different file.

 

i just did like bio said, change the FBS, turned off the 3 options. and started it.

 

why do u think that would happen ?

 

another thing, do u think an update for bios would be helpful ?

 

the current rev. is 0703 , so ?

 

and thanks alot, i really learnt alot because of these posts :):

I would try a flash of the newest BIOS. Set to defaults and save defaults. Then flash. Then enter the BIOS and load Setup Defaults, Save Setup Defaults and restart.

 

Then enter your BIOS and set:

System Clock Mode: Manual

NEW FSB Speed (DDR ) 1333

 

DDR FSB: 800

 

t(CAS): 4

tRCD: 4

tRP: 4

tRAS: 12

 

Voltages

 

NB Vcore: 1.5v
