CPU Problems?! Hi everybody! I am a newbie around here so plz help and initiate me! I'm from Romania, excuse my English, it may suck in some parts! So I have the next PC: Epox 8RDA3+ 2600 Barton CPU,166 FSB (I also have a picture of my CPU taken with Central Brain Identifier) : My CPU Cooler Titan, Cooper entire, with spinning control 256 MB KingMAx TinyBGA DDR400 Ge FX 5200 128MB Ram/128bit HDD 80 GB SATA SAMSUNG 8MB Buffer I have the following problem: I try to synchronize my Memory with the CPU, that means, i think, to put CPU at FSB 200 cause Memory is at that FSB already,but it doesn't work, the CPU is Set at default 1150 MHz! It just doesn't want to work? Some people told me it is the CPU but i don't think so! What could be the problem? Help me please! P.S.: I want to learn more about O.C. so please help me!!! See ya!

The memory is at 200, the FSB is at 100, pl;ease try setting the host clock speed for 166MHz in the DRAM timings of advanced chipset features.

It is the host clock speed of the CPU that you need to set rather than the memory, and by the sound of things this needs to be set to 166MHz.

I would think that a mod BIOS really isn't for you in this instance - any BIOS will run your components correctly but you have to appreciate what you are setting :- You have two speeds confuduing you. You the northbridge communicates three ways - to the CPU (FSB), to the AGP and to the Memory. You need to forget in the first instance about the memory (please don't respond stating you have DDR400 again). To get the CPU speed correct, forget about the memory speed firstly. Set the host clock speed to half the FSB of the CPU, so I believe you need to set the host clock to 166MHz - please read your manual to find out how to do this.

Ok I 've set the host clock to 166 half of the CPU FSB(333) and now memory runs synchronized with CPU! Memory is set to 166(333) ! THis is how i run now! Now i want to rase CPU's FSB at 200 (400), to put memory at SPD's defaults 200(400) to make my computer work better! What do you say about this?

You mean that you want to overclock the machine ?

You will need a couple of tools to help you overclock. CPU-Z is useful for example and a program which will put your system underload - a CPU burner. |
