yeh i have a prescott too and i think these chips are apple tart and cream!! there really good over clockers, when i get my new board and new Ram il try for the 4150 mhz with this cpu im using, and aswell the current speed im running at the moment with this cpu is 3850mhz and it stable and the temps on load are about 40 c but im using the cooler master hyper 6 KHC V81 with a 120mm Fan at the lowest speed and i never have to turn up the fan for more cooling ![]() so all in all these prescotts are damn good overclockers for a 478 platform your getting a good overclock too WooDeIrL

agp locks are what i'd check first. Then memory (video) overclocks are imo what mostly causes artifacts like broken glass images. Does your board have GAT/PAT(idk what chipset that board uses)? If so I'd tweek around with those a bit, I got more speed and even got rid of artifacts with one of the settings.

Regarding AGP/PCI locks, I've got it set to 66/33. Is there something else I have to do? I'm hoping I'm missing something, and it is not locked for me. I've resorted to running FSB/MEM at 240/190ish, until I get this straightened out. Please tell me I screwed up, with direction. Would running AGP 4x help? I don't think my 9600NP really needs it at 8x.

abd trying 4x agp wont help, i dont think. |

Memory is very stable at 240. Just very odd that only in benchmarks, I get tearing, for certain tests only. If I turn down memory, all is fine again... Maybe northbridge overheating? I'm taking shots in the dark now.

If I turn memory asynch, temps don't change, but the benchmarks stop tearing.

maybe some .ddr533 also, you can try lowering the timings on your ram. maybe 2.5 or 3cas would do the trick. |

Run the Prime95 "Blend" test. That will tell you if your memory is a problem.

Took it back up to synch, and stable for the last 24 hours folding. I'll try the blend test when I get home tonight.

wood, wow, how are your temps so low? I got a great waterblock and a huge rad and I get 40 idle 48-50 load! Well thats from MBM and I do have a pelt in the loop...thats prolly it. I gotta agree now though, they overclock like mad. I was in a basement last night with no heating on here in northern indiana. Outside it was like 7oC and it couldn't have been far off, so I put up the old 5:4, jacked some volts through it and pushed it to 4.1 stable, oddly it was only 38oC idle and 45ish load. I was at a LAN so I didn't have the oppertunity to test it there, it was fun running it though. What ram are you running steve, if you have to run your ram at 3-3-3-8 to make it work you'd better have you're cpu over 4.2ghz to game lol. You ARE giving the ram the volts it wants to get moving right? Seems like the ram couldn't be THAT bad... have you tried N/B strap? I used mine and I /think/ it helped stability at higher clocks/bus speed.

Card itself doesn't seem to be the problem tho... Running asynch, FSB 240 / Mem 192 clears up the artifacts. Video card running stock has no impact either. Odd thing I remember, I flashed the bios over the weekend, and the benchmark in memtest went up 150 mb/s. Sisoft showed no change.

ATI 9600.... Not up to much I've had the same problem with 9600's. You have to disable fast writes and they dont seem to overclock very well. Especially in a fast system, dont seem to be too bad when in a lower end PC.

BTW, isn't fastwrites always recommended "off" for ATI cards? I can't recall the setting. If it is the one and the same, it is already off. Odd thing, last night, I tried to switch to 4x AGP... XP wouldn't let me do it. Windows refused to load.... back to 8x and it loaded the OS fine. (really scared me for a bit). With Christmas coming up, I'm swamped with stuff, so I may not get far with this. To everyone offering advice, THANKS!

On Fastwrites, I have a 128bit 9600... will it make a significant difference in performance? Either way, I'll give it a shot tonight.
