It was his christmas gift from me to him :DQuote:

So I guess no more updates until next christmas or his bday? :D
i appreciate the christmas gift, but i have the multi as high as it will go and my RAM is holding me right where i am as far as FSB goes... i'm looking for a way to get some more points, i scored 23.75k earlier this morning... still need more though.
I smell a soldering iron heating up ;)
Have you tried running individual sticks? You might have one that clocks higher then the other. I have a stick that clocked 231, and the other clocked 240 :|
Just a thought.
i did, but i don't think either did any better. i will try again. cpu is stable up to 243x10 (ram on divider). after that it randomly reboots. voltage makes no difference.
Did you try a looser timing and pushing a higher FSB? Sometimes the added FSB is worth more then the timing...
But that is mostly on Intel systems.. Not sure how it would work out on an AMD :)
yep, if i set it to cas2.5 or cas3 it won't even post, at any FSB. so much for that. looks like the next step is more voltage to ram.
Yes, yes! Listen to uncle xDUCK! 3.6v!Quote:

3.6 might be a little much. i have some questions about this, maybe you can answer them. when i do this, does the voltage still get controlled by the bios (ie, 2.9v in bios = 3.4v, 2.5v in bios = 2.9v)? second, can this be done without soldering as a temporary modification? third, can i do this with my current soldering iron (25/50w, medium sized tip, not sure exactly what size) and my archaic lead solder, or do i need a special circuitry iron with aluminum solder?
As long as the solder you use doesnt have an acid core :D You should be fine :) They do sell it :D
You can use your 25/50w..
3.6v is very excessive and not required :D
I believe once you add on your vdimm mod you would use the pot to adjust the voltage and leave the BIOS setting the same.. But you would rarely need to change it...
You can use some SM clips to connect to the points that needs to be for the mod...
Silver solder is a little easier to use, it takes less heat.Quote:

You arn't that far from me, you want to lease an FX for a few days? :p
nope. looking at our benchmarks, my CPU is faster than yours, you just have a faster video card. weird that my single channel A64 non-fx at a lower clockspeed is beating you in cpu dependant tests.
where do i purchase some SM clips? looks like i will be doing this very soon.Quote:

Nice score eshbach. Keep pushing that beast! :)Quote:

Try Mouser or Newark for your v-mod stuff. Mouser is actually a lot better suited for non-corporate costomers, but Newark's got anything and everything if Mouser doesn't have it. Just do yourself a favor and stay away from the Crap Shack. You can get some nice Cermet trimmers at the afore mentioned, Radio Shack stocks some pretty crappy pots.
Depending what you have to do to your board, you probably want to buy a lot smaller tip for you iron, something like .03 or .05. Some of those SMD pads are tiny. I'd also recommend just going with some rosin-core 60/40 tin/lead solder over anything else. It's what the board maufacturers use and you will be mixing solder wherever you work. If you are really sweating low temp solder, get some 60/40 paste. It's meant to be hit with heated air, but if you just touch it with an iron tip the job's already done before you knew you started.
