My HZ wont run at 4/4/4/12 when o/clocked .... help please

Ben Ifin · 4th September 2006, 8:06 PM

Hi all !

I really hope someone can help - my rig is:-

P5B Dlx - 0609 BIOS
E6600 @ 3.6gig = 8 x 450
CPU Voltage 1.474 actual - drops to 1.464 under full o/cc load
HZ memory x 2gig running very loose at 5/6/6/18 [ this is the problem ]
B/T Cooling
Max Load Temp in closed case is 58'C - runs at normal o/c load temp of 48'C - idles at O/C @ 43'C

System is fully stress tested, prime / cpuburn / orthos / superpi etc ... stable -it is absolutley rock solid and has been running for several days now, 24/7 at this speed.

My problem is no matter what I do, when o/c, my HZ will *not* run at 4/4/4/12 .

It *only* boots and runs at AUTO which results in 5/5/5/18.

I've tried 1.8v up to 2.45v - auto and manual - all BIOS from 0507 up to 0609 - no go .......

At stock 2.4 it AUTO sets to 4/4/4/12.

At stock 2.4 AUTO and running at 2:1 it Memtest runs all day at 533mhz [DDR1066] @ 2.35v so I *know* its not my ram ?!?!?!

In an otherwise perfect setup, this is driving me nuts !!

All help & advice much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben

So what are you trying to run the memory at 900MHz 4-4-4-12??

Hi Tox

No, I have *tested* it at stock 2.4 AUTO and running at 2:1 it Memtest runs all day at 533mhz [DDR1066] @ 2.35v so I *know* its not my ram.

I am running it at 1:1 in my o/c - 450 - but it refuses to boot or run at anything below 5/6/6/18 ?

Did you ever think that you're trying to run the overclock too high?

That is what I was thinking

This is the most stable O/C I've ever had - indeed it runs just as stable at 3.8, but I use 3.6 as my 24/7 setting.

The ram is tested up to 533 [ 1066 DDRII ] by me, @ 2.35v and it is fully Memtest stable ie: 24+ hours and zero errors.

So, no, it is not the O/C.

Guess what

As a last ditch attempt, I checked the ram and it appeared to be not fully clicked-down.

Anyway, I just took out and re-seated both the sticks and gues what - 4/4/4/12 @ 450 @ 1:1 @ 2.1v.

Go figure .....

Thanks to all for contributing.
