My Brisbane Build with the help of Chewy

[jm1647]

that figures, go slow and test, my experience is spd and auto don't work very well, but they should

mem bench latency would be my first bench

Second attempt at oc'ing for me, this bios is totaly different from the A8N5X. I'll give some settings a shot when this WU is finished in about a day. I guess limit is the way to go and set it at 400 for the memory.

Right now the board is 200 X9.5 stock. I guess start and raise up from 200 X 9.

Yeah a weird bios. There are 2 or 3 later BIOS on the ASUS site for the board that supposedly support more processors. Right not the board has the 0411 version in it and there are 3 or so released since January. I wonder if any new options are in it?
My oldest daughter ansd son in law want a new puter and won't even think about overclocking. A decent CPU around 2 GHZ should do them fine. I can give this mobo to them and get a new one if need be

@Chewy is the System Stability Test in Everest wth the Stress on memory, CPU and FPU a good thing to run at 1 time. I took another bite of the apple and wanna see how it is going where it is before I try to jack it up anymore

Chewy latency in Everest is 51.6ns here is where I'm at right now

Timing 4-4-4-15

pretty close, good latency for ddr2

Yeah I put it in at stock again at 4-4-4-12 and limited it to 800.

And tweaking suggestions? Thanks again

[Chewy]

disable 2T and see if it will run stable command 1

Command Rate (CR) 2T

[jm1647]

disable 2T and see if it will run stable command 1

Whats good to run to check for stability, is the stress test in Everest OK? If so what tests to run at same time?

Thanks

[Chewy]

just do a latency bench and maybe a memory read and write before and after
disable 2T

bsod's are a good indicator of instability

don't really like stress tests with OC'd components

monitor temps during dual core encodes

@Chewy , no joy with the memory @1T..wouldn't boot

I had to back off the OC a lil, was folding @100% CPU and the onboard video went bonkers. Right now FSB at 249 25% OC in Everest and CPU Clock @2365 31%OC in Everest with 4-5-5-13-2t timings.

Seems with the Brisbane, Everest doesn't report the temps right it is showing ~18C for both cores. PcProbe shows the temp @41C.

Thanks again

[Chewy]

what's the case/mobo temp from probe?

that may relate to the onboard video


also that's a crapload of bios updates, and yours is the minimum for that cpu?

Well I would probably do the update

Well I would probably do the update

MB temp from probe is 36C @100% for 1.5 hours folding. right now only the Arctic HSF and 1 120MM fan in the back

Yeah 3 depends full of updates are out for this mb already . The 1 I have is not even on the site as an update . It would be the first time flashing a mobo bios for me

Thanks again

I took another look and the 0411 I have is listed to me

I got the 0804 before I seen your post, the last 2 seem to be just for Vista problems. Or should I go for ther latest one?

my man Thanks. What your doing for me reminds me of helping my grandson learn to walk

[Chewy]

btw I have had to flash several mobos just to get them to identify the cpu's

they never document all the changes in a bios revision, so latest is usually best

I had one I was upgrading the cpu in and it wouldn't even boot till I put the old one back in and flashed

0807 was listed twice I got the 1 at the top.

trench coat and tin foil hat, nah, at least about a 6 pack of Red Dogs first
