How do I overclock memory in Gigabyte EP35-DS3R? WOO-HOO!!
5.9s across all performance tests by Vista x64!
WOO-HOO!! I can brag... Followed your advice, and let memtest run 2 passes while I was at work today. No errors. I also DL'd SiSoft Sandra, soon I'll look at other better performance marks. Thank you for your help! Julie On Wed, 30 Jul 2008 22:57:46 -0400, Paul wrote: wrote: Thanks, I tried posting screen capture jpegs of the cpuz-id windows, but I can't here for some reason. How can I get the images of the cpuz-id info to you? Julie Interesting. My AIOE server got a total of about 58 posts from you, with what looks like base64 encoding. On Motzarella, the server seems to have done the right thing, and turfed all those attempts at picture posting. And Google didn't archive them either. Good for Google :-) Got something right for a change. There is some info on P35 here. http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=2991&p=2 At FSB1066, the P35 will support DDR2-800 and DDR2-1066. Section 2.9 of your manual, shows the "MB Intelligent Tweaker". There is no mention in the manual, whether you need to press control F1 to gain access to that panel, or whether it is visible in the BIOS in a normal fashion. In the MIT BIOS screen, the CPU clock can be set to manual mode for tweaking. But your question was about memory, so we'll go straight to the memory thing. You need to adjust the memory frequency. The memory frequency is grayed out in the manual page, implying the System Memory Multiplier has to be put in a manual mode. You need to adjust it to DDR2-1066, which is slight higher than the memory is rated for. The rest of the settings, for timing, could be left at Auto, and the BIOS will work out the proportional values for CAS, tRCD and so on. Further down, there is "DDR2 Overvoltage Control". You say the memory is rated for DDR2-1000 at 2.0 or 2.1V. You can set the Overvoltage Control to +0.2V, as 1.8 + 0.2 = 2.0V. Save and exit, and see if the BIOS comes back on the next POST. *Don't* boot into Windows. Prepare a memtest86+ test floppy or test CDROM, from memtest.org . You should run a couple full passes of memtest86+, before considering even booting into Windows. Another test I like, after running memtest86+, is to boot a Linux LiveCD, such as Knoppix or Ubuntu. Either of those Linux distributions, is capable of booting the OS, without a hard drive being connected or present. And that allows testing, without the possibility of corrupting the hard drive because the memory is faulty. I've even downloaded the Linux version of Prime95 from mersenne.org , as a means of testing the CPU at 100% loading. Even with the single threaded version of Prime95, you can create four separate directories with Prime95 in it, and execute a copy from each folder, giving four copies. Each one is set to use 1/4 of the total memory. That gives both the CPU and memory, a good workout. If no errors are reported after a few hours, then it is probably safe to boot to Windows. HTH, Paul |
