Overclocking ASUS A7NX DL + XP2100+ ?
I have been trying to capture some VHS tapes at 720x480 using HuffyUV and am
getting large numbers of frame drops - e.g. about 60 one drops and the same number of two drops in 10,000 frames. It really screws the sync. I defraggged my partition and have set my WD Caviar HDs to Use DMA if avail. It made no difference, even though I did not touch the box while capturing. The above efforts were with VVCR and VDub. I did try the little AMCap with the WMDs but it crashes when I specify the capture file :-( The CPU is running at 1.69 GHz - about x17. Now how about overclocking? I am a newby to this game and looked at the BIOS settings for help. The CPU Ext Freq is set at 100 MHz. The CPU Freq multiple Setting is [Menu or Auto] = can see no way to specify anything. CPU Freq Multiple has a max setting of [9.0x/17.0x] The present FSB speed is at 2x99 = 198 MHz. Is the the chip locked or is only way to raise the FSB? My ram chips are 2 of: KINGSTON KVR333X64C25/256 256MB PC2700 333MHZ CL2.5 DDR DIMM Advice much appreciated. TIA Rua |

But how are you capturing....? Are you using a dedicated capture card with
hardware encoding or a video in from a std AGP card and then sound in through your soundcard...? Are you also trying to compress on the fly..? All the above can have a great influence on your success, or not, in capturing without dropping frames or sync being an issue between sound and video. Being VHS Would that be Svhs or composite out...? Either way why capture at such an high resolution, again a potential problem for you.

If you still need more power and have a Thoroughbred B chip it will be very overclockable; mine is currently at 2266MHz ) on an old A7V133. Regards, Tom |

Just found an interesting article on o'clocking:
http://www4.tomshardware.com/howto/20011112/index.html All that glue on a Palomino? My CPU is a Thoroughbred, I believe. What is necessary here? TIA Rua "Madra Rua" wrote in message thlink.net...

Thanks Morgan for your comments.
"Morgan" wrote in message ... But how are you capturing....? Are you using a dedicated capture card with hardware encoding or a video in from a std AGP card and then sound in through your soundcard...? Are you also trying to compress on the fly..? I use the Hauppauge WinTV card. I do have the Huffyuv set to compress and the overall compression was about 2.6 in a 5 min test. This is probably a factor in the problem but without it the size of the file (2hr 20 min video) most likely would be unmanageable. I'm aiming to do about 60% of the video on the first run and then the other part. That would give me for first part about 52 GB. All the above can have a great influence on your success, or not, in capturing without dropping frames or sync being an issue between sound and video. If I use PicVideo MJPeg at quality 17, I don't get drops. First, I'll have a good try at getting the best video possible, with HuffyUV. If I fail with the overclocking, I'll drop back to MJPeg and inch the quality up to get the best I can. Being VHS Would that be Svhs or composite out...? Either way why capture at such an high resolution, again a potential problem for you. Composite. I want to capture the best I can and then I will be satisfied to accept the usual degradation in the conversion to mpeg2. Many thanks again.

TIA Rua As other post says. set the settings to menu/user defined. Im running my 2100+ at 210x11.5 with 1.725Vcore. Asus A7N8X non deluxe Rev 2.0 The other bopard I had Asus A7N8X Non Dl....Ran this cpu at 180x12.5. your default should be 133x11.5 at 1.60Vcore mess with it....you have the ram for 166 FSB (333 DDR) try 11.5x166 at stock Vcore and see if it will run stable. Oh and keep ram/cpu running in synch (ram at 100% of fsb speed) This may help with id probs too. if cpu is at 100 and ram at 166 outa sync can actually slow the system down or cause performance hits. Hope this helps some.

Thanks Morgan for your comments.
No problem. However if you had answered some of the questions that I asked you might have found that the issue could have more to do with your method of capturing rather than the need to overclock your system. I have captured fine with a P3 1GHZ and zero frames dropped, so although well configured hardware is very important to capturing it does not need the fastest CPU to do it right. -- Regards Morgan How I fixed my noisy IBM drive www.flyinglizard.freeserve.co.uk 3DMark 2001 with Ti 4200 = 15214 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6420632 |

Looking through the motherboard manual, I don't see anywhere to set the FSB. The Advanced Chipset Features of the BIOS have, for the first item, the CPU external frequency. It is now at 100 MHz. It also says that the FSB is double this. I checked to see what choices are available for the CPU external frequency and they we 100, 133, 166 and 200. If I choose 133, that means the FSB would be 266 MHz, not what I want. So where to set the FSB? According to Aida32, the chip is a Thoroughbred B. TIA Rua |

... Thanks Morgan for your comments. No problem. However if you had answered some of the questions that I asked you might have found that the issue could have more to do with your method of capturing rather than the need to overclock your system. Ouch! :-) I thought I provided all the answers. The Hauppauge WinTV is a TV card with video and audio out ports. I feed the audio through the sound card but that has nothing to do with my problem. I don't use an AGP card for this. What other info do you need? I have captured fine with a P3 1GHZ and zero frames dropped, so although well configured hardware is very important to capturing it does not need the fastest CPU to do it right. I also have captured with much slower equipment without drops but not at 720x480 with HuffyUV and the Compress box checked. Have you used these settings without drops on that slower equipment?
