Hey PPL!!

This is my first post and I really need some help. i heard that these Sempron were easy enough to O/C, but I can't get this baby stable after 1603 MHz. /mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' />

I heard that maybe that it may have to do with the RAM I have - PC3200 400MHz DDR (no manufacturer - generic mebbe?) and the CAS latency.

Plus - for some reason, either the BioS or chipset I have won't allow me to change the multiplier value - defaults to 7 and I can't change it. (9 - 10.5 would be nice!!

In Bios, I think I have the FSB set to 166MHz - but this board is still set for North/South

So any help would be appreciated. Please Please Please!!!

So here are system specs from AIDA32: (sorry for the overload of info - but I really need help with this.

Thanks in advance!!

==================

The multiplier on the Semprons are locked I believe so you won't be able to change it. You could try lowering the multiplier and see if you can then get past 1.6ghz. But remember, it voids the warranty. /biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

-Proud owner of a DFI because chicks dig "Big" OCs
Repsgaminglounge

Oh well your not going to blow it up just cus you increse it alittle. Know the limit. Don't use volt increases. DO NOT USE VOLTS. You can OC that to 2250mhz if its a 64 bit ver. No way you'll need to worry about anything but temps. You need to try higher fsb speeds. One fsb speed may not work another will. Say 230 doesn't work try going to 240, then 250. Or by 5's. About upto 320fsb. Try Mark3D to do tests to see if your stable when you get to that level.

Make sure your FSB can go that high on your board. Make sure your ram is overclocking ram. Even if its good ram, with no heat seperator, it may fry your memory at speeds like that. Turn the FSB down on your memory if its at 200 if you can? Make it 166fsb or lower until stable. Whats all your bios settings? Read the manual so we can see what your oc options are. If you have junk ram the your ram it the limit big time. Whats its timings?

If you want to OC the biggist thing you need is OCing memory. Like Kingston Hyper X models. Usouly memory without heat seperators are not made to oc and will get too hot when overclocked. The multiplyer means nothing really if you can upin the FSB manualy. If your board is junk and has no options like this, use OCing programs but risk your registery to be lossed if you fail enough at a high enough FBS. OCing won't mess up your comp unless something overheats. OCers usouly get stuff that was made for it. Temps are good until 60C then stop OCing. Or until you reach about 2250mhz. Thats where your multiplyer will try to stop OCing but ppl have gotten higher.

I am in the middle of trying to get my OC's perfected. I can get my CPU upto 1850mhz at 250fsb. So far. I'm still low, but its about 320fsb that it will be maxed at. But your memory will need to be lower. 100fsb then try to OC it or 133fsb. If you get the fsb on the memory at 200fsb with out a heatsink then your memory maybe frying. If you can't monitor MEM temps then you can go by this. 166fsb on memory is usouly running with a heatsink. Beyond 200fsb then its hot. 220fsb may kill it. Try haveing a case fan blowing on them or buy heatsinks for ram.

Its all about trial and error. Your going to make mestakes and clear the Bios plunty of times with a jumper. Write down every setting you put down and keep track of everything. Monitor everything and you'll be fine. If a fsb fails try another. If your comp doesn't work after that. Just clear the bios and try again. Its fun but it takes forever to oc. Do stuff enough right and you'll get a tight system. I hope that helps.

or the Hyper X
HX3200UL/512 512MB 400MHz DDR Non-ECC CL2 2-2-2-5-1 2.6V

both fit in my mobo and are compat with the Sempron 2500+

need some suggestions ASAP as I have to place the order within the next hour.

Thanks again!!!

Deff hyper X. I use the same stuff. My OC is 275FSB, CPU 2ghz CPU FSB 2ghz. Memory is PC3200 but OCed DDR467 fsb225 now if I havn't said it before. Hmm I wonder how good we can make your OC's what you got to try is to lower your HTT since you can't lower the multiplyer. That shouldn't be a problem. Disable spread spectrum if you have that. You don't need to change around volts. Make sure to use a hard drive that you have only a OS on. Its annoying to reinstall a OS that you have all your stuff on. Keep your timeings high at 1st like look up model numbers of hyper x's and make your timeings according to model speed. Say you get upto PC4000 change the timings to that. Prob at 1st lower your MEM fsb to 166mhz.

Keep on trying to get the board fsb higher like I said and this time you shouldn't have a prob. I don't know whats up with my board but I guess since its based off of the Nforce 3 250 then I can go upto HTT 1200 or something like that. Prob higher, thats about 2000mhz fsb for the processor. I don't know if your board can do that or not so keep the HTT lower below 800 like 200 or 400 then try and OC it. What kind of errors are you getting anyways when you OC thats limiting you again? If a fsb doesn't work try another. Keep checking your limits and tell us what your doing, that should help atleast I hope so. Just remember your limits. And do some reserch on your system. Now I know hyper X's can do DDR533 at 250fsb but thats pushing its limits to the max. It can take it tho.

Well, I think it's the crappy mobo I have (FoxxConn with SiS chipset)

In bios, the HTT can be either 400/600/800 Mhz. current set to 600, everytime it try to set it to 800 and save the changes, the bios doesn't like it (constant beep after POST)

The FSB for the CPU itself can ONLY be set from 200-232 Mhz (in Bios) and using the real-time Bios flash program (Superstep) whenever I change the FSB below 200 Mhz, I get warnings (running underclocked) left right and center

I have posted new CPU-Z screenies on the AMD Processor support forums.

BTW... the RAM that was ordered (dumbass sales guy /mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /> ) was only the ValueRam, model: KVR400X64C3A with timings of 2.5-3-3 (two 512 sticks, 1 GB total), not the HyperX (not gonna wait an extra week for special order from Kingston I need to play my EiB and F.E.A.R =P)

SO... I'm still at a loss... wasn't able to get the CPU up any higher. Think its time for a new board, setting on either a GigaBit or a EPoX (both with Nforce4 chipsets)

The ONLY thing I haven't done yet is check ASYNC settngs for transfer rates.

Will post those settings next time I boot the PC.

Thanx again for the help PPL.

232fsb on the board! Wow thats scarry crap. O_o Sounds like cheap old junk to me. Yeap your board is limiting you. Go with a gigabite not anything else. They are made on perpous for overclocking. My boards chipset goes upto 455fsb max but at 275fsb now OCed. Defalt is 200fsb. Like most gigabyte boards its 455fsb on the settings is possible. Thats like a no limit for me. I have alot more options on my motherboard then you did I see. XD That board you have wasn't made for OCing at all. I use to be frustrated about OCing. If you get a gigabyte board I can help you better because gigabyte boards OC pritty much the same, I bought all this stuff to get some tight performance. Ya can OC like me or better if you get the right board. Your welcome and good luck on OCing. Tell us when ya get that new stuff. If I see ya around with it, I'll help ya OC your system. *Smirk*
